I'm glad you got your art. That letter looks like a copy/paste, generic format. Way to not feel someone's passion for their character.

I have no doubt that it was a generic letter that he sends out to everyone. It just floors me that he actually sent it to me considering the lengths we had to go to for this project. The very least he could have done was send a little more personalized letter (even if he didn't want to apologize). |

I would hope that any prospective client trusts in the artist's abilities and vision. But in the end, the client is the one paying, and with that comes a certain amount of input. I say a certain amount because to me, it depends on the price. The more you pay, the more you have a right to run the show. If I was already overpaid, and didn't need clients, then I could be as arrogant as all get out, but would most likely loose every client with such behavior. I prefer a client who trusts me, that doesn't demand every nook and cranny be perfect, buy a camera if that's what you want, or pay me a lot more to put up with the backseat drawing.|

It of course differs with every single piece, and every single client.
Some people you are in perfect sync with, and some clients don't know what they want, or know too much of what they want, and usually in the latter case it's not you. They want the cheaper price for a loyal work horse. And I don't mean to make that sound like a bad thing, a bargain is a bargain. I'm just saying honey goes a lot farther than a megaphone, a microscope and a restraining order...
Hericane, Gray Huntress, and Gaderath are sweet clients. They LOVE art, and the artists who do it for them. In fact client is the wrong word for them, they are more like traditional patrons. If I could I would make little gold plaques for them on my wall.
