Do you have examples of artist, who get commissioned regularly, so that one can look at their portfolio and how good they are?
You can see examples of both on places like this: https://old.reddit.com/r/HungryArtists/
And here's an example of an artist who does commissions frequently, mainly in the DnD-character-illustrating realm, who has a very thorough website with prices: https://www.ryuutsu.com/order-artwork
You will see a lot of variability in the price estimates that artists give (which I think is 99% to do with the value of USD in their country, unless some of them are just children), and a lot of variability in skill level in the ones that are popular. Getting to the point of getting commissioned frequently usually takes a lot of time and effort, and artists often raise their prices once they get some demand.
Keep in mind that this is just the online digital art world. Here are Heather Rooney's prices for photorealistic portraits (in this case, nearly 1:1 copies of photos in graphite or colored pencil) from a while ago. I wouldn't be surprised if her prices are higher now:
The question about your example of the artist Heather Rooney is how many people commission him.
It is one thing to make a website, that says "1 portrait - 1200$", but how many people would pay 1200$ for a portrait each month?
Maybe only 1 person commissions him once a year and the rest of the year he/an artist is broke (?)
