Out of curiosity, how much did it cost to commission?
Well, it might look like it's something simple that could have been done over a single day, it really was the two of us communicating via email back and forth over several weeks, starting with me describing a concept and getting feedback from the artist, then to concept sketches, to each I gave my feedback for changes, then once a final concept is agreed upon, he would send me updates on the details to make sure I'm ok with the direction it was going. And it was also agreed from the beginning that since there were several different routes he could have taken regarding Rin's faces, that he would give me several rough sketches of them in various styles, and so this actually wasn't the first style for Rin's face. He gave me a drawing of her face in a different style, but after seeing it and some deliberation, I asked him to go the same realistic route with her face as he did in a previous Rin drawing he did that wasn't part of a commission work. And even after that, the "final" version was actually altered twice based on some feedback of mine, so this would be like the 3rd version of the final version, obviously the full version is much higher resolution than this one. So it took decent amount of effort and time from the artist, so while I don't know what is considered cheap or expensive when it comes to commissioning artwork, since this is my first one, but it wasn't "cheap" as in under $100 cheap, but it wasn't "expensive" to where it took financial planning either. I rather not get too detailed with the pricing, but it's not anything that will really hit you hard or anything. But to me, considering how much the artist worked with me on the idea and on changes, the amount of time that was put into it was worth how much it cost.
And in the end, I really like the result, I just wanted to see an image of Rin enjoying what looks like a bit of free time where the three of them could goof off a little bit.
