Hi Angga! I'm fellow Indonesian too, nice to meet you!
Your works are amazing, the quality is totally in par with other background artist in this forum. But I can't help being uncomfortable with your pricing. If you look around, background artist here usually charged $60 minimum for simple background and the price will rise accordingly depends on the amount of detail the client want in a background. So when I saw you only charged $25, I just can't help to tell you that you're selling your service waaay too low. I fully understand that how much you charged for your service is not my business, but it saddens me because I'm an artist too and I've seen too much case of other artist underselling their work.
Please consider to rise your price, okay? You deserve much more than your current price.

Hi Morinoir!
Thank you for your advice!
Actually, I'm aware that this price is too low, but the thing is, that I'm on a debt right now. I need a lot of money to pay it. Even so, with $25 price tag, not so many people buy it .
Of course I will raise the price in the future when I'm not in debt anymore,
Anyway Thank you so much!
I'm sorry to hear that. There aren't many paid work here lately (I've seen some but they're for adult game haha), but you can try your luck on deviantart's job offer forum. There's always someone who look for environment concept art too if you're into that. Or you can also create a creative common background set that you can sell via gumroad or other similar online store. I'm sorry I couldn't help much. I wish you best of luck with your commission!
I've seen one that did it but they're not a background artist, they're UI artist. I think there aren't many people who do it? Pick a setting that is flexible and can be used in a lot of story, like school, beach, park, etc and make a set that contain different times (day, night, sunset, etc). You might also want to read more about licensing if you decide to sell your background art on gumroad =)
Your background art is amazing! I wish I could commission a few backgrounds but unfortunately I'm in a tight spot with money... Hopefully in the future! I hope you can get a few commissions from others.

Your background is really amazing and have a real feeling to it, it's give a really special touch to it.
I work on a really big project and the chance are high that i'm need for a background drawer in some month and i feel like you will be good for my game things it's about traditional asian style mixed with fantasy.
For the moment i need to make other things before, but i kept you in my contact if i need you.
As well if you want to talk with me i'm always open.
Gosh your background art is incredible and it's amazing you offer work for such a cheap price! I'm currently working on a project where we are in serious need of backgrounds, but don't have the funding necessary to commission anything. But I'll definitely keep you in mind for when our budget is more flexible!^^
