Does the person that commissioned it really want it posted on the net for all to see?

tres · 2 Jan 2010 at 16:55

Another question about cost - how much would something individually commissioned cost?

Fantastic work though chief - truly impressive

Ever heard of a portfolio? Artists have to show off their work. Can you imagine a customer expecting to be the only person to decide who sees the product? I can't, as I would expect the artist to want to pimp their work.

OP please silence us all and tell us how much it sells for!

took the words out of my mouth, the couple who had it done don't mind at all - they're having a canvas made out of it for gods sake lol they want as many people to see it as possible

It'll look a fair bit cropped on that size canvas won't it? It's more like 3:2 than 3:1

Well spotted

this version is cropped..

as for costs, this is a very specialist job - they have money, the girl is a model and was insistent that this be like my other work and put a lot of time in it as they will pay- not to mention this is on the largest canvas I do. i charged £1800 for it. it was a big job...

most canvas commissions i do are nowhere near that much and can range from 100 - 2k

Holy **** I thought you bought that at first. Bloody amazing mate. Give

xen_ · 2 Jan 2010 at 20:58

Wow, that is impressive.

xJcBx · 2 Jan 2010 at 21:02

Very nice

Did you do digital art degrees or something?

I'd love to be able to create works half as good as that, as I love to play about on photoshop and illistrator ect in my spare time.

geekyEd · 2 Jan 2010 at 21:26

Thats absolutely amazing, how did you come up with the concept? Or was it done to a specification?

R B Customs · 2 Jan 2010 at 22:02

Really nice, as ever Dan! not seen a lot of your work, but you seem to have defined your style quite well, I like it.

Which tablet are you using?

:rolleyes:

@ people asking 'how much'

Loosecannon · 2 Jan 2010 at 22:31

I think people asking how much are doing so because they think it is amazing art and would generally like to know how much it cost so they could consider having similar work done or to purchase at some point.

I believe it is really stunning work, and I thought how much was that, purely because I know the missus wants some canvas art in the front room at home - possibly not that particular piece, but on the same lines...

Ziggy · 2 Jan 2010 at 22:38

Any chance of seeing the main source pics that went into it?

Azza · 2 Jan 2010 at 22:38

WOW! That looks great Dan, nice work.

BigBadBenny · 2 Jan 2010 at 23:15

Awesome, very talented!

benneh · 2 Jan 2010 at 23:57

It's sexy work, but it's way too sharp for me.

chipperhead · 3 Jan 2010 at 00:03

How about a few of us getting together and commissioning a group buy, would that be doable I wonder?
