Hit 500 followers on my art account and it actually freaked me out

I've been posting my digital paintings for like 8 months now and I just crossed 500 followers on Instagram. It's not a huge number compared to some people but for me it's wild because I literally just draw monsters and weird creatures from my head. What surprised me is that people actually started buying prints and asking for commissions. Has anyone else hit a random milestone that felt way bigger than you expected?

Wait until someone asks you to draw their pet, that's when it gets REALLY weird.

Explain what you mean by REALLY weird though. Like, do people ask for something specific or is it just uncomfortable because of how they act about their pet? I'm trying to picture the worst case scenario here.
