Yeah, for a 4-person picture, it'd normally be $80 for black and white, $120 if you wanted it in color. That's total, not an added-on cost. Basically, add $10 for each character you want colored. And as he mentioned, it'd be your first commission, so if you wanted it in black and white, it'd be $60. To get it colored then, you'd add $40 to that, so $100 total. If you sub for $5, you'd be looking at a total of $80 for color (since you'd be getting another 2 for $20 B&W instead of the usual $40.)
Honestly, I looked at a few other artists who do commissions. Some of them charge more than that for smaller picture sizes, others won't do it if you're looking for something like an assembly / malfunction scene, others charge more for anything other than a simple background (with "simple" in some cases being "I drew a colored rhombus on a white background behind them,") etc. Really the only thing I've seen Nathan refuse to do is "needless destruction" scenes - someone breaking a fembot for no reason other than they can, or someone smashing a statue of a person who was transformed because why not. Something like battle damage, though? He's fine with that.
If you're worried about the process, swing by his stream sometime and see how a "live commission" goes. Even if you come to him with a bit of a vague concept (which I've done several times) he's willing to work with you and get you something you'll want. The last pic I uploaded here? Started out as "Hey, remember the first one you did with this character fixing that one? Let's reverse it. No idea how to pose it, though." After working it out, we came up with that - even added the little bit where her AI is displayed as a cartoonish face on a monitor since her head's sitting about a foot away from the rest of her body, and at the wrong end to be connected to it.
