I just hope you didn't google how to write.


I pretty much did.

Seems like that worked out pretty well though. :)
I'll decide what "worked out pretty well" thanks.

Formulaic writing, when well done, sells books. Many now are written so they are easy to script into movies.

It also works for music. Nashville has had song writing factories turning out country pop for years.

400$ for that painting was waaay too much... the quality of that work is very poor, doesnt even look like it was done by a professional

I mean by the looks of it you'll have more skill in painting than that guy pretty soon and you barely started

I prefer the original commissioned piece.

Not saying the other efforts are bad, just that the commissioned art has a hand created feel and loose liveliness that the others don't have. The others are stiff and 'cg'. Still fine for first efforts.

I'd say continue with your art. There's great potential there. Working for a while in traditional mediums can go a long way in learning fundamentals that can then be translated to digital.

Here's a good youtube channel of a fellow who paints in a traditional style using digital programs.

No it isn't. I paid a lot more for mine and to a casual eye it looks incredibly simple. Like something anyone could whip up. And i paid mates rates after shopping around.

There is easily 400 bucks worth of time and effort in that piece. You may not understand but when it comes to commissioning art you're paying for that, not the end product. This is why you research an artist's work before commissioning a piece.

There's far more artistic experience in the commissioned piece's composition than in the "front on" images. But is it cover worthy? No. Definitely not. In that way it was a waste.


The second part is where i was landing on, there is nowhere near 400$ of effort and time in that piece, i know people who can pain amazing shit in 1 day, seriously, 6 hours of painting, now when they do ask 400$ for it, you give it to them, but because of how good the work is, not because it was hard for them to do:)

heres just an example from my area, this man also does tattoos, but check out his paintings : https://www.instagram.com/marius_jucan/
