[nTopaz Version]

This a character I got commissioned to draw a long time ago, the client wanted a middle eastern grandpa reading a story to his grandchildren, so after a bit of research with some references here and there I came up with this fella, the client wasn't satisfied because he wanted a modern looking grandpa with western clothing and in a more cartoonish style...I told him he hadn't mentioned those particular parts, even when I say to clients to give me a complete written description of what they want and reference material if possible...but anyway, I asked him to raise a bit the budget since this was taking more effort than what I originally quoted for...he reluctantly agreed and I suspect he was angry cause he never left a comment or review after delivering the other drawing...

Hi @melooo182! I’m happy that you shared your talent so that this community continues to grow 🖌. In my opinion this is very beautiful, of course maybe he had an idea of ​​what he wanted but he wanted to leave it to your preference but in the end it was not like maybe he had imagined it, and I really think it is a mistake of the client to not have given the explanation exact what he wanted hehehe, greetings.

Thank youu @potatosauce!! 😉
Yeah well it happens, this is not the worst client I've had... but we learn with each experience 🤔

Hello dear @ melooo182, I like this grandfather but how bad that you have had problems because of your client, they say... that customers are very difficult because they never know what they want. :(

Someday I will know from my own experience if it is true or not. XD

The character looks cool :)

Understandably no one likes cost blowout but with a lot of clients/consumers I don't think they realise how much work goes into artwork.

Yeah I often find people requesting prime quality artworks with ridiculously low budgets and when I warn them what they will get for that price...

xD

Well I like him. This is why I don't like commission work much. I take it when the person knows my styles and says I'd like a pug or a certain type of bird, but you decide colours and just do it in your style. That's a good client. If someone wants three branches each with four flowers in this exact shade, that's not the client for me :)
