A very subtle yin/yang design in this, well done :3

Thanks. You rightly noticed about yin yang ;)

THIS is a sketch commission? Jeeze, your work really is on a whole other level. Great work.

Well, to be honest, this is a bit of a lie. In fact, such works take me much more time than a regular sketch. I even sometimes do preliminary sketches of compositions for this as for large works.

The only difference is that this is a colored scan. And it's noticeable at full size: https://sta.sh/0h1guerpj85
But at a small size everything seems very neat. =3
The truth is that I care about my growth as an artist. And since lately I've been a little depressed to draw for myself, such small orders allow me to grow in level and embody some ideas that are interesting to me. So sometimes I do a lot more in the sketch category than I originally planned))

For large works, I make a fullworks color lineart and more details almost like an illustration.
Therefore, I even had to remove the category of simple fullcommissions. Because people will still order a sketch because it's cheaper =D

Oohhh, economics, I understand. As for it being a traditional scanned piece, honestly I had no idea. This is so smooth and flows so well, I just assumed it was a digital piece, with all of the digital touch-ups that come with it. Impressive work, needless to say. I'm glad you're finding the smaller orders you like making, and I'm happy people are supporting your growth in commissioning them. I can only hope you keep yourself on track with sketches not being super detailed and not slowly drift back into 'illustrations', otherwise it'll just be chasing the problem from before. Keep it sketched, keep it safe!

I hope so too. Because I also enjoy doing full art. This is an interesting challenge for me. And I would like such arts to be done neatly so that they can be printed and that there would be no such untidy lines.

Chaos is a part of life, and is a part of art. I wouldn't worry too much about art not being 'neat enough' for printing; what matters is the quality of the art itself, rather than the lines that hold it together. See the forest, but keep the trees in mind.

I think balance is the best. I am reminded of a chapter from the The Neverending Story about the jungle and the stone lion:

"“Perilin?” said the lion. “What’s that?”
Then Bastian told him about the miraculous jungle that consisted of living light. While Grograman listened in fascinated amazement, Bastian described the diversity and beauty of the glimmering phosphorescent plants, their silent, irresistible growth, their dreamlike beauty and incredible size. His enthusiasm grew as he spoke and Grograman’s eyes glowed more and more brightly.
“All that,” Bastian concluded, “can happen only when you are turned to stone. But Perilin would swallow up everything else and stifle itself if it didn’t have to die and crumble into dust when you wake up. You and Perilin need each other.”
For a long while Grograman was silent.
“Master,” he said then. “Now I see that my dying gives life and my living death, and both are good. Now I understand the meaning of my existence. I thank you.”"

In creativity, too, excessive chaotics would not be beneficial, as well as excessive accuracy. There must be a place for both emotional impulse and control. *)
But that's just my opinion))

Sorry if I'm getting too boring. I just like to philosophize sometimes XD

Although perhaps the word "tedious" would be more appropriate. Damn...this language barrier.
I hope we at least understand each other. Lol X)

I think we're doing very well, thanks mostly to your comprehension of my barely literate ramblings. I am very tired.

Still, I think you're right, in the end. A balance, as weighted in one direction or the other according to one's own life, must be struck for the sake of continuity of the craft. Balance in all things.

Ok. You are an interesting conversationalist. Don't belittle yourself
And I'm sorry if I made you tired of our conversation

Thank you. You didn't make me tired of the conversation, don't worry; staying up over 20-something hours made me tired. xP

Oh. I understand this feeling. Take care of your health if possible *)

Lovely design!

Omg I wish sooooooooo bad I could make this into a mosaic for my window, I love so much how it looks and the execution is superv.

I told you how much I liked it on twitter, its super amazing!!!!!

You can do it with paints for glass. Real stained glass is probably too expensive

I'm glad you liked it))

Wonderful, love the yin-yang design you worked in! I wish dragons were real. :)
