Very well said, Versa, and as an artist I also have noticed the rise in more and more specific orders (if not in my shop, in others as well). It can make it more stressful and thus lead to having less motivation. I believe saying something is a wise decision, and don't get me wrong... being creative and having an idea of what you want is not a bad thing at all, but it is also very much appreciated by many artists besides myself I'm sure if given some freedom for what we come up because we cannot always see exactly what others may have in mind. <3

Totally agree. That's why I will either say free reign, or give an idea and then let the artist work their magic when I order.

Being a tier 3 artist and having so many 'can you fix this, or do this' is just not worth it. That's why I closed my shop months ago.

I'm still so low compared to so many on here, but I get it. And maybe that's why so many ask for such specifics when they've never done art before. They just don't understand the complexity or how much time can go into a piece.

I've tried to do art on here too before and it was really quite hard for myself, but I was also teaching myself how to use everything lol But I completely agree and totally understand, that's why I always try to just put a few ideas and then give you free reign. You are such a great artist and I truly hope you don't close your shop as I love getting art from you that fits my horses (not too many people with lower prices will do appaloosas), but I would completely understand if you felt you needed to, as so many other wonderful artist have recently. <3

Thank you guys. I do appreciate the comments.

Jello- I absolutely agree. I also think there are resources outside of HEE that they can go to.

Krazy K- I am going to do my absolute best to make sure my shop can stay open. :) Art is a way I destress after incredibly long days with various troubles. There is an importance of it to me.

** I also absolutely adore doing appaloosas, so no worries there. Personally I think they're quite a bit of fun.

I do have a widescreen monitor, so the page background may look different to other people.

Not sure if I'm going to sell it or not. I just wanted to play with things. :)

That's a lovely palette! <3

I absolutely love your art. Sorry that my order was complex <3 I think I have gotten carried away by the excitement of getting art from such a great person and artist! I definitly understand how 'Rah!' it can be when a whole piece is asked to be changed. I hope my order isn't to complex, and if it is, feel free to color ouside the lines of what I asked! Art is supposed to be fun, and sometimes...its not when multiple factors are combined.

An old auction piece, of which I forgot to share with you all. :)

That's stunning!

Absolutely gorgeous <3
