Artwork is so expensive because it
requires a lot of time to produce. I'm a decent artist myself,
capable of making sketches that can suitably convey my ideas to
others. But my artwork does not have that professional polish or
look, even if I spend days on it. Thankfully, though, I have enough
artistic ability that I can communicate really well with the artists
I commission. When artists I'm working with send me their latest
iteration, I can go into an art program like Photoshop and make
adjustments, write in details, and send it back for them to polish
and adapt the changes I made. It's a very collaborative process, and
I especially appreciate artists that are receptive to my ideas and
understand my vision. (See example of the process with the artist,
John Fell, and how I guided the changes in his art for the final
version of the Chiraktis) This art production process takes time,
though, often weeks to months, so I decided last year to purchase
Photoshop. Now I am able to get in on the process a bit more by
myself, producing simple pieces of art or making derivative works of
previous art I've commissioned. By being more involved in the art
process, I can help speed up overall production speed and get
finished products to you more quickly. One thing I've been doing more
of recently is combining the art of various artists...
