Pre-Production - The Last Breath - Commisioning work

In this project I "commissioned" work for the first time, these came in the forms of Character designs mainly. With these I requested designs from a friend, since it was unpaid work sometimes it would take a longer amount of time than I would have liked to receive anything back.


In the future I would not commission work from a friend unless I had seen previous examples of their work and knew of their work ethic, The style I requested and what was given to me differed on a noticeable level, the artwork is fine but I now know that artists have a signature style which may or may not be what I am looking for.



Whilst I was waiting for artwork to come back to me I designed some characters on a online tool, I found this worked really well to give me ideas for the characters, it gave me a color representation of the character which looks professionally made.

Next time I commission work from an outside source I will have a physical copy of correspondence as several times I talked about what I wanted face to face but wouldn't receive what I asked for.

My wish was to have a full body sketch of a character, to show their concept better rather than a profile shot of artwork I made myself.
