Digital
The digital artwork commissions process typically begins with a discussion between the client and the artist to establish the scope of the work, the style, colors, and any specific details or themes. Clients are encouraged to provide reference images, descriptions, and feedback throughout the process to ensure the artwork meets their vision. Digital artwork is a great way to get cost effective artwork that is more detailed in scope or relies on lesser quality reference photos. Because of printing abilities, you can often get a larger creation for the same price as paper mediums.
