Haha, well, so long as you're having fun and getting paid - even a little - for it, it's all good!
Thanks CP. Me too!Originally Posted by ChickPea
Congrats! Glad you've got a happy client.
While this was a lot of work, working out different things and such, it was also fun and frustrating in equal measure when stuff didn't quite work out. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process though and hopefully I'll get further commissions from the client.
I must say, at the hourly rate I'm currently working at, I've no immediate plans to give up my day job

I know some of you have had some horror stories with commission work; difficult clients and so forth but my client, The Design Mechanism on this project was absolutely brilliant. Any questions or concerns I had, some of which were probably very inane, were answered promptly and professionally. Payment was made promptly (within 24 hours of me sending an invoice). All-in-all a great first commission to cut my teeth on. I'd happily work for them anytime. They are without question a very professional outfit.
Following on from the above; I've created a template (see attached that shows layers etc at the moment) that as I proceed I will update the "notes" layer with my processes, to hopefully speed up the work. I've already created basic objects in Ai for the DM, Dressing & Doors groups and I've also created a brush set.
I should be somewhat more prepared for the next one...
