Hey meryvamp! Thanks! <3

Hmm, this was a complete challenge and a lot of work XD I think it really depends on the character and if I get inspiration. I think it's usually a lot easier to work from an existing design/base, or at least having a description of the kind of character/feeling that should be present in the work, and having a good range of freedom on top of that would be even better. Then, I can take the leap/chance/risk, and usually, that turns out better.

Well, however you manage it, keep it up cause it is working

Now that I've commissioned a few other artists since you, I keep getting more and more amazed by your skill. This isn't to say that the people I commissioned weren't good. They were excellent and very talented as well. However, the one thing you just mentioned that baffles me, or I found amazing (for a lack of a better word), was that you didn't need references from me. You just sketched my character from the character sheet and information I provided. After that, I assumed every artist could do that, lol. I was sorely mistaken and immediately figured out what a reference was

Anyway, I will continue to watch your career here on dA. I sincerely believe you'll go far with your skills

Awww thank you dear

I think a lot of artists have that capacity (I feel like it's similar to creating an original character, only you have to interpret the writing), but I think many prefer to have references for commissions because it's probably easier and faster xD. I think I've seen some artists offer to design outfits for an additional fee though. Though I'm sorry if you tried to get them to design something for you and they didn't really meet your expectations ):

I'm touched by your support!

No problem.

True. I definitely think it would be easier with references.
And well, no, for the most part I've been extremely happy with all my commissions or art trades. I mean, most of the people on here are doing this for free or just for points, which is pretty amazing There was only one person who drew it more towards the reference I'd provided than my description, but maybe I didn't describe my character well enough

Not that reaper needs any help from me, but yes, you should totally buy a commission.

Look at my avatar. Yup, she did an awesome job XD

Ahh I agree. I lose interest at about step 5 (where it's at right now) because it's at this point that I can see the endgame. I wonder if that's perhaps the same reason for you? Usually I force myself to finish things in one sitting in order to get over it I also keep trying to do different things, in the detailing/coloring process/etc so that also helps change it up. I do something different in my process for every piece of art I make, even if it's not obvious in the end result.
