Hello everyone, I hope you guys are staying safe and as healthy as can be during these crazy times.

Here's the March - April update/review on 3 artists! As always, I couldn't name all of the fantastic artists I had the honor of commissioning, because I wanted to give these artists their own special spotlight. But it definitely does not mean that their names won't show up on here in the future. And here they are, in no specific order!

    Review: I've been following the artist for a little while now and when I saw the artist open commissions due to the current ongoing events of the world, I knew I had to commission the artist. The communication with the artist during my commission was fantastic. I was always informed of the commission's progress and it was always to see the update. When I received the finished artwork, I was so ecstatic because the facial expression and the pose is the epitome of the character represented. It was a brilliant interpretation.

    Review: I recently discovered this artist and the artist was/is a fantastic find. I adore the style to no end and it's an amazing blend of semi-realism and realism to me. Regarding my commission, the communication was great and the artist was very responsive to my questions and open to any changes I had in mind. When I received the artwork I was astounded by all the little details and I've been at it in awe for a long while now...

    Review: The first thing that attracted me to the artist's gallery was the adoptable outfits. However, the artist creates adorable characters as well and they should not be forgotten! They are all well-made and very unique, so much so that I had to get my hands on a few outfit commissions. For both of the artworks you see below, I didn't have a particular image in my mind. I was able to describe and give references of an idea that I had, but I didn't have a finalized image/though-out plan. From the sparse information I gave the artist, the artist was able to craft the perfect outfits for my characters in a relatively short amount of time.

Hello everyone,

I know I'm late to my monthly commissioned artist features, but as this month has been quite hectic, I decided not to post a commissioned artist features list. However, I'll be broadcasting 4 artists artworks here instead. Please do check out their galleries and perhaps, consider commissioning them or sharing their artwork!

Hello everyone, if you celebrate Valentine's Day - Happy Valentine's Day!!

Here's the January - February update/review on 2 artists! As always, I couldn't name all of the fantastic artists I had the honor of commissioning, because I wanted to give these artists their own special spotlight. But it definitely does not mean that their names won't show up on here in the future. And here they are, in no specific order!

     Review: This artist is one of my most recent finds and my gosh, it was a wonderful find! I was able to snag a slot on their waiting list and the artist's commission process was simple. Communication was fantastic, I was always well-informed on the progress and I received a good amount of WIPs. Not to mention, before starting the process, the artist helped me choose a pose that would best fit the composition of the piece. The end product was nothing short of astounding and I still find myself gawking at the level of detail and beautiful display of colors. Overall, a very talented artist.

     Review: I first discovered this artist through the artist's amazing adoptable characters. I could see the amazing creativity simply by seeing a character's design and reading about them in the artwork's descriptions. The artist has wonderful adopts and of course, I adore their artwork. My first artwork from them was an adoptable character and my second was a commissioned piece. I received WIPs throughout the process and the artist was incredibly easy to work with. Regarding the finished piece, it was a perfect interpretation of my character. Overall, wonderful artist to work with and I cannot wait to see more adoptable characters and non-adoptable characters from the artist!

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

Here's the December - January update/review on 3 artists! As always, I couldn't name all of the fantastic artists I had the honor of commissioning, because I wanted to give these artists their own special spotlight. But it definitely does not mean that their names won't show up on here in the future. And here they are, in no specific order!

(1) :icondonfuchs:
     Review: The moment I looked at the artist's gallery, I could see more than one art style - at least three wonderful art styles. As always though, I have a penchant for realism and of course, I chose the option of making the character as realistic as possible. Needless to say, commissioning the artist was an incredibly smooth process. I was able to see updates constantly and I was never left in the dark with the artwork. Personally, it was particularly exciting to see the WIPs on the artist's statuses. I would sign in and receive a tag for an update on my ongoing commissions, and these became some of the highlights of my days. Regarding the final artworks, I am unsure which words are able to fully express my satisfaction in seeing them, but I love every piece to no end. Overall, a patient and multi-talented artist that has now conditioned me to be stoked for status updates.

     Review: I remember stumbling across this artist's gallery around the holidays, and wow, what a gift it was for me! I could immediately see a great style and I knew at that moment, I had to have my characters portrayed by this artist. Regarding the commissioning process, I understand sketches can be messy and there's nothing wrong with that at all - it is sketch. However, as soon as the artist showed me the sketches for the artworks, I was already so in-love with the artworks that I would have been happy with that alone. I was always kept within the loop about my ongoing commissions and it was always a pleasure to see the WIPs. Of course, you might have already guessed it by now: the depictions of my characters were simply perfect. Overall, a gifted and attentive artist, and I cannot wait to see future artworks!

     Review: I have kept my eyes on this artist's gallery for a long while now and the artist never ceases to amaze me with their realism. (However, as you can see with the artwork provided below, the artist also has a comic style, which is just as pleasing to the eyes!) There are times where I find myself clicking through the artist's gallery, just to absorb the artist's way of shading/coloring the characters. Regarding the commissioning process, it was simple, wonderfully simple, and I was more than pleased with the final artworks. Overall, a highly talented artist with an extraordinary style of realism.
