i don't suppose i'll get any takers - but i've set up a commission box with my shiny premium membership. I only vaguely know about the dA points system but after doing some online conversions i've hopefully got them at reasonable prices for my skill level.
i've also signed up to some freelance websites, however i find them a bit intimidating and i'd be way too nervous to apply, so this is another reason to try and build my confidence. same with the employment forum on dA - id look at a thread and see other artists that have posted and my skill is nowhere near good enough to compete with most of them. this has been a rambling journal.
