Oooooooohhhhh

finished spinning up the Icelandic wool... decided to give the Welsh another go.... after much shaking out of guard hairs. still a lot of those left, but not much I can do about it... gonna work on the Eider after I spin up the Welsh and get it onto a bobbin.

Question for anyone who does art stuff... how you feel / handle that previous requests / commissions you've done are lower quality than what you can do now?

I was comparing a piece I just finished to one I did a couple months ago when I was just starting. Literally worlds different. I don't think it's sustainable to redo old requests for everyone. But I feel.. idk, weird about it.

I don't make art, so I can't offer advice or anything from that point of view, but from the perspective of someone who has bought art back in the day (granted, 99.9% of the time, it's been online currency only, not rl cash), I feel like it's kind of a given that artist's skills and styles will evolve and improve over time, so it's never bothered me to pay for art and later see an artist having higher quality art.
Not sure if that helps or not though.

I'm going as far as say that back then you were doing the best you could with your art abilities, and it's only natural you improve with practice. So why worry? You were not ripping off any customers - they looked at your samples and liked your style enough to commission you.

If they liked what they got, then leave it be

Okayy, thank you guys. I know logically what you're saying is right, I just still feel weird about it haha.

Trying to find fabric so I can work on my clothing challenge outfit.

Good luck Den! ^_^

I need to finish a commission ahaha

Was about to start a custom scale glove order when the person changed their mind on the colors/design they want.
So now I have to place ANOTHER scale order and hope I have enough black because I only ordered enough for the previous colors and design. Or just cave and buy the bulk pack of black scales once my next paycheck. It's kinda pricy, but I wanted to make something that would take a lot of black scales anyway so it would be worth it.

It's just frustrating to buy supplies for ine thing just to have the person turn around and go "oh no, I want this instead".
