Looks more like he has a type. He's drawing porn after all--the idea is to draw what he wants to get off on. You can't be surprised when there's not a lot of facial or body diversity from a porn artist--they're literally drawing their idea of the ideal female (or male, or NB, or tentacle creature).

Also, $100 isn't a lot to start a commission at. If an artist can command that price then then it's worth that.

I think he can; he's VERY good. The comic OP mentions, Alfie, is found here: http://buttsmithy.com/

His art is gorgeous. From looking him up it looks like he's making almost $60,000 a year just off his Patreon. It makes sense for him to value his time above average.

Agreeing with this.

Especially the commission price bit.

Then you don't know anything about freelancing.

A freelancer basis their prices based on how much work they get. If their schedule gets packed full and they have more work than they can manage, they raise their rates to thin the crowd. This is standard advice you can read in any freelancer advice article.

If he's charging 100 and up, it means that enough people are paying him that rate that his schedule is full and he can't take any more commissions. He would be absolutely free to raise his rates if more people commissioned him.

Supply and demand. When supply is fixed, price goes up. Basic economics.

Besides, how many hours do you think a typical commission takes? I'd hazard about 4 hours for a nice drawing. That means he's making about 25 dollars an hour, which is a decent professional wage and definitely not too much to ask.
