Latest commission

This was my latest commission, and it ended up being one of the hardest pieces I’ve ever finished—not because of the work itself, but because of who it was for. The woman who asked me to paint this for her daughter passed away before I could complete it.

She was like family to me—so kind, always supportive, and genuinely amazed by my art. It hit me while I was finishing this that I’ll never get another request from her again— never hear her voice or get a rib crushing hug full of love from her again and that really hurt.

I miss you, Barb. I wish you could have seen this piece. ❤️🥺 #dogart #dog #painting #art #fyp

... Read moreTaking on this commission was truly a unique experience. It wasn't just about capturing the likeness of the dog, but also about honoring the deep bond I had with the woman who requested it. As an artist, there are moments when your work becomes more than just a project — it becomes a tribute, a way to preserve memories and emotions. I remember each brushstroke carried an extra weight of emotion because I wanted to portray something special. Painting dog art always brings me joy, but this time it was wrapped in a bittersweet feeling. It's incredible how art can connect us to people, even after they've passed. In the creative process, I often reflect on the relationships behind commissions. When a client becomes like family, their support feels like a guiding light. Losing someone close makes you realize how precious those connections are and how art can be a healing outlet. For artists facing similar emotional projects, I recommend embracing the vulnerability and letting your feelings flow into the work. It can be challenging, but it also adds depth and meaning that resonates with viewers. Sharing these stories alongside your art not only honors the memory of loved ones but also creates a heartfelt experience for your audience. This commission taught me that every piece can carry a story far beyond its visual appeal — a story of love, loss, and remembrance that persists through the artwork itself.

The image features the title "How to start Commission for real artist" with icons for digital art software (Procreate, Clip Studio Paint) and a traditional artist's palette with brushes, set against a colorful gradient background.
This image outlines "Step 1. Pricing your art," detailing considerations like economic factors, traditional versus digital art, and full-time artist status, noting that traditional art typically costs more due to material expenses.
The image presents "Step 2. Finding a website or a system to take in commission," recommending platforms like Kofi, VGen, or Instagram for DMs, while cautioning against scammers.
commission advice
I don't give much advice on things unless someone asks me so here it is. there a lot that actually goes into commission like how much to charge and what you make, also depends on time and stuff. the only way I can give better advice to people is knowing how long and what they do but for now

High Commission Network Marketing 🤑
I get it. The potential is there. But the truth is 99% of network marketers are only building someone else’s paycheck & “hitting the top” can take years or never happen, no matter how hard they work. (Believe me, I KNOW.) That’s why I pivoted to a path where beginners earn $3,030–$8,000+ per sa
