Abigail posed as a Ring Wraith from The Lord of the Rings tonight.
1 hour
20 Mins
7 mins
And the 1 min poses, which I liked tonight.
*************
I got this text about 20 minutes before drawing:
The parents like the painting.
So I guess it was a successful commission after all.

This was such a difficult situation because the one person whose opinion really does matter didn't like it, but he was the ONLY one. It left me in a place of not knowing what to do, that's just an impossible situation, but Simon had said show it to the parents.... and he was right.
I told Simon that he is my new Artistic Life Advisor.
This is also why I think I'm not going to do babies anymore-- I mean, I would really need the money to do it. There is the technical success of the painting, and then there is peoples' weird perceptions and sometimes there is just no way to navigate around that.
Babies are too risky. They are technically and perceptually THE WORST.

Now watch- next year I'll get like 5 more baby requests.
I would much rather do cats. Or any pets.
OMG. The money is decent but is it worth it?

Abigail is too pretty to be a wraith. I like your sketches.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the update.
I would think there are perceptions of any art work. One dislike out of a half dozen likes can and should be ignored. Especially when you did such a good job.
ReplyDeleteIt kinda does matter when it's the opinion of the person paying you.... it worked out tho.
