A bit ago I completed the initial stage of a character portrait (done in two
or three passes over as many days).
exhibit a: http://empyrean.freesitespace.net/misc/2454941.jpg
The person who commissioned it asked how much I wanted. I said 'however
much you think it's worth', but added that I wanted to go over it once more
and improve the linework to push the form of the figure (the effect is a bit
flat atm on the pants and jacket, apart from the figure's left arm).
That turned out to be $80...?!
So...yeah. I was somewhat playing around with making the image look like a
Franklin Booth illustration, and as far as that goes it turned out well, has
a nice effect, and is much faster than my usual shading method, but...it's
*so* much less effort than I usually put into a drawing, and the amount paid
for it is so large that I really feel I should put in a detailed background,
just to justify that (especially since Booth focused as much, if not more,
on the backgrounds over figures).
