I never expect artists to work for free. I know I sure would not do so myself. And I dont know how your art looks like. I might like it, or may think it doesnt fit the content and feel of the picture.

I wont post any more updates from now on though.

No reason to get your enthusiasm dampered, but at the same time you shouldn't mention things like paying people. Just a general "I commissioned to get this done" is good enough.

Updates aren't a bad thing, it shows progress. And yeah, art styles vary. It may be that mine doesn't fit your style, but when it comes to art, personally, the only people I will charge are businesses or if people are going to use something for promotional/monetary profit.

In the art world, comments and feedback from updates are seen as welcome. It can help you see things you otherwise wouldn't see, such as a typo on an essay or a sentence may sound better. It's not like we're all trying to gang up on you and say "OMG YOU SUCK LOL!!!!" That's just the way we roll. Its being helpful in our eyes. ^^

I forgot that the 300 was not just for that pic alone, but another as well I cant link on this site. So its about 150 each in Extra quality. Normal quality is around 100pr picture.

And I would not accept to receive a picture made by you for free. Its just how "I" roll XD When I feel something is worth paying for, I will :)

"Tipping" is a bit different to me than "paying". If you feel something should be tipped, then by all means, I won't deny those. I just won't ask for any kind of payment upfront, especially on copyrighted characters >.>

Well, Bobbydando works for money as part of his income. He works part-time in a store and wishes to make his living purely from drawing. I accept that and found him my perfect choice to make this picture a reality :3

Anyway, I have emailed Bobby about the criticism/feedback, and will see how it turns out.

That's kind of harsh. Money or not, it's a good drawing. Not everyone is going to draw exactly the same way with exact same proportions. If he wants to stylize some things that's fine. I pointed out the only real error that popped out to me, which was the leg.

If you're going to give criticism, you don't need to be an ass about it.

let's me edit my text back to be less harsh xD

He did mention he would tweak the leg a little. And he likes to work on my commissions. 1 black and white comic I had him do, said made him learn way better Lineart skills. :)
I wish I could find the picture he sent me that he said it was the one he was the most pleased with. It was simply insane. TONS of character and amazing attention to details.

Unless you have seen his finished works, I think you will be nicely impressed ;3

I' am impress :3 i know many of our fellow Artist in Deviantart :D

Holy crap, today I learned that a bunch of people in this thread take art seriously! Well as a layman/normal person that has no artistic skills what-so-ever (no matter how hard I try, it just doesn't work out! ;.; ), I like the base drawing as it is, I didn't know commissions take that much (I understand it is not done, I have a base tattoo at the moment and ready for 2-3 more sessions, I have already spent almost $550)

@Vilhem LOL Free?! Then all we'll get is Thancred!

@Altera Don't take any of the comments as hurtful, as an outsider reading them, it really sounds like they just want to give their inputs, even if it is criticism, other than that, you should be proud and don't let any comments bother you about how much you spend for what you want (unless you are rich and don't have a sense for spending money lol, $1000 for a piece of gum? Sure!), it is for yourself after all and I appreciate the fact that you decided to share it with everyone, so don't say you regret posting an early image of it ;). Your artist did say he was going to re-work the leg right? That means as an artist he already knew what others said, also I love the fact you support artists like this! I'll add the art to your name =D

Edit: While I was adding it to your name I looked at the sketch again and compared, because I thought it was going to be of Louisoix by himself, after seeing the sketch I realized that is only part of the whole image! The finished image is going to be bad-ass and awesome.
