I see two key issues with this image:
1) You have thousands upon thousands of competitors, who will happily provide the same or better quality for 1/4 or 1/8 of the price. You will have to convince the customer your work is worth paying such a surplus (and selling yourself might be tough for an average /jp/sie with no social skills). Unless you're targeting the "suspiciously wealthy furries" (and/or other fetishists) or are dealing with someone who knows only about you as a provider, I don't see a way of doing it without already being a renowned vendor.
2) This approach to shading implies an understanding of what you're doing at the penultimate shadow coloring step, otherwise you will end up with unrealistic (wildly colored, which might be your aim, but the following applies all the same) or dull shadows. Which renders the grayscale value map meaningless (aside from a superficial zero-saturation layer to check your contrast during finalization) once you gain enough experience to make it work.

Nice thicc, but you might wanna foreshorten the right forearm. Try bending your wrist this way and watch how far you can actually bend it. Then repeat it in front of a mirror in the same pose. While we're at it, lateral ankle rotation relative to the lower leg is very limited. Simply press your foot on the floor and see how far you can rotate the ankle without rotating the thigh and the knee. In this case, though, you only need to avoid defining the knee as facing the viewer.
