Harder Than I thought O_O

So, I've been working on the color commissions that I have and I have to say, they're so much fun to work on, but I have so much more respect for big time artists, all you people out there that take on commissions right and left and .... well .... actually KNOW what you're doing!
It's been hard trying to come up with unique designs and wondering it they'll be okay or not, finding colors that match in the way you WANT them to match, find what speaks to you and the commissioner. Yes, it's much much harder than I'd ever expected, so my respect level to all you artists has just gone up more than it ever was. (Not that I didn't already respect a ton of you HUGELY)
I get a bit rattled and worry that maybe I'm not doing it right. Maybe what's wanted is more than my skill level is at, cause let's face it, it's still super beginner level. But taking a deep breath, playing some LoadOut on Steam to help clear my head (weird, but it helps) I jump back into the fold with both feet and work things out the best I can and eventually come up with something that I myself and my commissioner like.
Just had to spout all that out xD

And being our own worst critic can be a good thing, because if you step away for a time and come back and still like it, then chances are the commissioner will too!
Just my $0.02.
