Blog Entry: Requests
This doesn't have any info on requests, or to much detail regarding my progress, it's a blog so I'm just venting.
I love being asked to do requests, I really do, it's so flattering. And it gives me a reason to draw characters from series that I wouldn't normally ever draw (for example, Naruto-believe it!).
But lately I'm thinking that perhaps I obsess. I put "Miyuki" off for a long time because it was hard to decide what pose to put her in. And it's doubly/triply/quadruply hard for couples/groups.
I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, because I love requests. And I know I always try my hardest so that each person is happy with their request. But those two factors don't necessarily correlate. Even if I try my hardest, there's no guarantee that the requester will like it at all.
Then I think "Well, if they asked me for a request they've obviously been through my gallery and decided they like my style" or perhaps "all the good artists aren't taking requests at the moment"
So...
I know I shouldn't let it get to me... but...
