@Dragonett some thoughts. But first, to answer your question directly. 50kt for pencil drawing would be irresistible. I'd pay more if you cleaned out the bg, as high as 80kt, but that would be pushing me. Anyway...
1, link your store here as well, ppl might have useful feedback on that.
2, whenever you make a new bump, delete the old ones. It's not against the rules unless you use it to try and do more bumping than is allowed for that particular forum, and it helps keep your thread looking a bit cleaner, which can be appealing, esp, in a shop.
3, consider a price reduction of 20%-30% or so until people start buying. Once you have some purchasers under your belt, raise the price to where you are more comfortable with it. I for one don't like to buy from "unproven" shops. I like to see that when someone pays for a thing, or orders a thing, that they get it and all goes smoothly, so having purchases looks good. It's not that I think any artist is out to cheat me, I just know how I am, and I'm not the only one like me, it's easy to get behind to forget, to intend to but not... looking reliable is good.
4, all the advice you got on the discord was good advice. But i'd add that you don't need fancy banners to make your shop look good. I personally can't be bothered to put in the effort for such a thing and try to make stuff look as nice as I can with text alone. You can check out my adoptable shop and my hatcheries to see what I mean. The art shop was extraordinarily minimal and poor and got attention because it was pwyw. The skin shop - gasp does all the work in the skins forum.... But Presentation, super important. The most important.
5, list your samples near the prices in a way that indicates what sample goes with each price. I don't see any pencil sketches in your examples, and I'm not sure what I'd be getting if I gave you 80k and asked for a bust of my can leader for instance. What is a sketch and what is a refined pencil? I can't quite tell in the shop.
6, I'm really cheap, and I know it. I would pay you $5 for a pencil drawing... however, and this is stupid, but the human brain doesn't process numbers well because I wouldn't pay you more than 100kt for the same pencil drawing. See... I have real world income, but dragon world income? I have less of that. I'm not everyone though, so... *shrug* And $5 is too little money for the effort I know you put into your work. I can see it, I can tell... but that's what I'd be willing to part with.
7, I find centered text to be kind of tacky.
