How Many dA Points do You Think my Art is Worth?

No, I just draw with my Surface Pro and tablet pen, and I'm pretty happy with that. c:

I use GIMP 2.8

omg, i like how you say you "just" draw with a surface pro. (I'd kill to be drawing with one right now lol)

They have a good pressure sensitivity range. I'm assuming you haven't set your GIMP up to be able to access it :) Which version of the surface pro do you have? Maybe i can help you out with the drivers.
 
I know that this was just an awful situation, but how about we don't post anymore and forget about this and answer the actual question.
''How Many dA Points do You Think my Art is Worth'', I think It's worth 400 for the animations because they're just so cute and adorable, 300 for the normal pieces because they're a cute design aswell, and the one with the beige wolf looking through the window is worth 350 because the shading is awesome and the lighting is aswell, I like the scarf too. That's detail and good art.
I think all those people that gave you mean comments @JennaBellionaire should say sorry and leave the post and you should block them aswell, however me posting this I'm probably gonna get a bunch of negative feedback from these jealous little kids (I'm a kid aswell, however mature) which I'll just ignore.

You keep drawing Jenna and don't care what people say about your art (negative) but the good comments you need to think of best and those are your true fans, the negative ones just drag you down and make you sad - making your performance not what you're, block those people, ignore those people be happy with your products love the comments and keep drawing and animating!!
 
How do these look?

The difference between the before and after posts shows great improvement! Making the line art thinner definitely brings out the subject more and makes it look less crowded.
Your animation looks great! My personal fav is the last one; I think that the tail animation is fantastic.

One thing I think you should try and work on is making the patterns/colours on your creatures a bit softer! For example, the first animal with the blue hearts; if you changed the colour to fit more within the purpley-blue range [or even just a darker blue] instead of bright aqua blue, I think it would blend and look much nicer! I also think that the third one would look fantastic if you kept the same colour scheme, but changed them to pastels to create a softer look.

Since when you posted this to the art you recently submitted, your improvement is shining through!

EDIT: Sorry, I completely strayed from the actual question! I think you should charge between 200 and 300 points for your still art, and 250 - 450 points [depending on complexity] for your animations!

Heh, thanks. I got it for Christmas. :D And I don't mess with GIMP because I'm afraid I may screw something up. xD I have the first Surface Pro Microsoft made. Thanks for your help! Very appreciated that you would help me with that. (Especially since I WANT to know how to do that, I always have. :D)

Yeah, the one with the hearts is supposed to look crazy, she has a bright and creative personality so she has various colors of 3 kinds. Thank you for the advice!

I think you have a lot of potential as an artist. I'd work on angle, shading and sizes.

I will, thanks! :D
 
OK so first things first, check your settings in gimp.
I don't use it so I'm not sure how well this works, but this person on an Ubuntu forum showed where to find pressure sensitivity http://askubuntu.com/questions/4877...sensitivity-in-gimp-to-control-line-thickness

Give it a try and let me know if it works

Sadly, it didn't work... the Surface Pro tablet is the PC itself and is not a separate device so when I go into my Preferences, the only option there is "Core Pointer" so I cannot use "Pressure Size Sensitivity"
