usually artists include instructions on their commission info on how to contact them and what details you have to include in your message otherwise you could ask them.

you gotta have references for the character you want to get drawn. artists ask payment before or after the commission is done, they'd let you know. dont give them a novel to read just to describe your commission or your character unless they ask.

is there something specific you want to know?

how do you make everything so smooth but also keep the edges sharp

i use a hard/sharp brush. i use a meme brush from this pack but the default circle brush from photoshop (or whatever software) will do fine

parts that would look sharp would be up to your experience and taste. ive been inspired by how TF2 official artworks are painted over also moby francke and leyendecker works but since idk their thought process when painting, i try to do my own take

generally i'd paint details like folds/creases as sharp. not to mention part of my inspirations use cel shading too. also depends on the material of the surface like shinier stuff have sharper shading compared to skin/cloth, etc

i hope these answers your question but feel free to ask for clarification

i did when i was using sai but sai's smudge tool is easier to use and has more control and customized effects. i dont use photoshop's smudge tool nor mixer brush tho

i just manually blend colors in PS

this didnt show up in my notifs, good thing i happen to scroll through my comments

but here not sure if it'll help since its on timelapse but this is one of the commissions i did in sai, maybe skip to 2 mins for the paintover part. basically its a combo of color picking, painting then smudging

The colors you choose and how you use and place them, and facial structure/expressions
plus most of the time it's tf2 related : P
