Hey Spry, cool to hear that ! now i am looking forward to see your interpretations of things :) thanks!!!

Hi Fiala, thanks a lot for your great response! a lot of input on this one came from Lars, the guy who commissioned it. He took loads of photos and I took the coolest shot and just pushed it my direction ;)

well, told the story before for not getting paid at the end of a commission, but as I now stumbled over the image again I thought why not post it anyway?
It was a request for a type of work I seldom do: a character design based on just a loose description of how the character should look like. A lot of work to do, many many hours... but it sounded interesting... well I guess its also in parts my fault for getting ripped off, for I was far too trusty and now I will simply change my conditions I guess.
But enough of this, the image is still there, hopefully to be enjoeyed, as said the basic look was invented by the guy who commissioned the artwork, now lets meet "Darth Cailon" - worth 130 US $ ;)

Stefan, I hate to hear you got stiffed, but their loss is certainly our gain. On the front page.

Commissions can be a tough gig, most people are getting paid up font or they don't start. That is what I do unless it is a super good friend. As Tamer said his loss our gain!

thank you, Spry!
yeah, thats what I have learned and will practice now  ;)
its always tricky when it comes to money. thats why I prefer commissions for fan mags and stuff just for the honor and glory :)  on the other hand getting paid is not that bad and helps a bit to keep things running, like buying colors and canvas or figures ;)


BTW
some of you may remember my wild and bold "brushes unleashed" Walkers ? Don't know if I posted it here but I did on Facebook.
well, Ruark Dreher, the producer of Hughes the Force, requested a real big version of it to be printed out on canvas, so I did a large render approx. 60x80 cm or so @ 32 MB which you now can download for free at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8155677/Free_Prints/SW_FleeingWalkers_Poster.png
Just in case you are interested ;)

Hey Ron, thanks so much for this highscore!
yeah, though I do no photorealistic work I like to add certain amounts of details to the obvious painting, it creates some tension and a unique Art deWhill-look ;)

Stephan, one way to look at a commission gone bad is that you get to keep that work for yourself. Some of my most treasured customs I have kept only because their commissions went bad. Like you, I do things differently now.

@ Tamer:  yeah, hope you enjoy this baby :)
BTW I printed it as poster myself for I want to display it at the SciFi-Days in Grünstadt, Gemany at my table. For its just a digital image I neve saw it that big and if I am allowed to say that: it looks most impressive, I was positivly surprised.

Another thing that goes on in my mind since I read your words "custom creation" on the fp regarding the Darth Tailon image... why not starting to do my own customs, I mean digital ones. I did similar things a long time ago and maybe its time to think about that part of creativity again...

@Clonehead:
you are right, buddy, I try to see it that way, besides I really learned a lot during the visualization and designing process of that figure. Its like Tamer said a "custom creation" and I am thinking about to starting digital customization again...

Some of my old stuff I mentioned, more that 20 years old:

Love the "old" stuff you posted. very apocalyptic sci-fi. I always went for that style.

Darth Cailon is pretty cool as well. I've been stood up on commissions as well. It was a head I did for someone and he never did contact me back. It's a bummer but it happens.

Darth Cailon reminds me of the old Reeses peanut butter cup commercials when the two people run into one another. One carrying chocolate the other peanut butter.

hey, thanks a lot for your kind words, DS!!
yeah, I am still a sucker for apocalyptic stuff :) some things never change LOL
