Got good feedback on this, thank you all!
Being burned in the past by frustrating clients has left some deeper scars than I originally thought since I keep coming back to this "should I?" well every now and again and then bury the thought. Time is also a factor alongside balancing other personal projects, not to mention trying to keep my day job from being all work and no life balance.
I think Ko-Fi might be a good soft starting point to offer something like a sketch tier with a clear outline and restrictions on expectations and delivery so it can be turned off or on as needed. I want to avoid overloading myself and overpromising on my time. Might be easier to dip my toes in with something that I can do more quickly to start with, like only offering busts or emotes.
Got a lot to think about, but I want to make something happen on this front in the new year.
