I GOT MY DEVART NAME WRONG.

Thank you for the nice comment :D (Big Grin)

as far as the images/observation/memory/imagination goes, I most often work based on photos when I do commissions for obvious reasons, but I always let myself alter even those after my own liking..

For instance, the wedding piece I'm working on had very dark shadows around the eyes and no highlights at all, since the only light source was the sun which stood very high at the time the photo was taken. I took the liberty of softening up the impact those shadows had, and adding a little twinkling highlight in her eyes to make them come alive a bit.

I do these small alterations on almost every commission I do, and tell myself it's ok since if they wanted an exact replica of the photo, why not just enlarge it? I think my personal little touches adds to the piece as a whole, not being just the kink removal.
