Definitely looks on track and better than Potato groot, but jokes are more fun than compliments.

I've commissioned a few digital art pieces, and what I've found is that when the coloring starts, it's pretty impossible to tell how the piece is going to end up. Usually, my artist of choice will just send me the linework and then the finished product, because the linework looks like a "complete" drawing but things can still be changed.
I imagine commissioning paintings is a completely different ball game, as there is no linework to approve before the coloring starts.

definitely seems to know what he's talking about so I think you should continue to defer to his expertise. While it's true that there are some artists out there that are capable of doing anything in any style, you can't expect that from an artist who doesn't have a portfolio in the style you're commissioning. That's why seeing a portfolio is so important.

Since its Halloween and all and this thread is about art. Here's an acrylic painting I did for a Halloween art show where the theme was to submit works based around the silver age of horror movies. Did a lil mashup of something that would resemble one of those old horror movie posters. Had less than a week to finish it and its pretty big at 48x60 so I kept it pretty simple. Acrylic. Planning on giving it a little touch up and some varnish eventually. Should prolly sign it at some point too lol.

Has anyone ever sold art instead of buying it? What was the best way to do it?
The kind I have is framed numbered signed with certificates. Ranging from $100-$1500 on places like ebay.
I just got a damn ton of framed paintings dumped on me by family who said to do with as I please as they sold their house and going Rving for their final days.
My walls already look cluttered with paintings as it is.

I have friends that travel to all the art shows in Florida, sometimes northern states as well. They make a decent living doing it, but you need a tent, displays, etc.

Don't do it at outdoor, crafty type art shows. It's a rotten way to go. Huge amounts of work, very few sales. Find a small art gallery in the town you live in, and have them display and sell a few at a time. They'll take a small commission, but you don't have to deal with people, and you have a lot better chance of getting what the art is worth.

In my city, the hipster restaurants and coffee shops will display local art that’s on sale. I’m sure they take a small %. (It’s also how I found some badass local art)
