Advice needed for selling prints!
Hey guys! I have a question regarding selling prints of artwork I have done, but as commissions.
Is it legal for me to do this? And is this commonly done? Does this look bad on me as an artist? I haven't ever sold prints before, so I really have no idea. I haven't sold the customer the copyright to the image, just charged them for rendering the image like is typically done. Some of my commission pieces I would like to sell as prints at a future con because they turned out really well.
(I would obviously ask the commissioner if it's okay with them, since it's their fursona in the picture.)
Thanks!

SO no, it does not cover someone commissioning art to be made.
Don't take the sentence out of context.
