Derwent? Meh, I personally prefer prismas a lot better. They don't seem to layer/mix as well as prismas in my opinion, but I may just be using them wrong.
But no, these things will always be expensive unless you manage to get lucky and snag a batch cheap on ebay.
I love the sketch, though. I like your style...realistic and a mix of toony. It's really nice. I do really like the way you drew the eyes in this one, and the little muzzle. ^^ The chubby structure is so adorable, as well. (I'm physically unable to draw chubby things.)
And I love your shiny icons, by the way. They're really eye-catching....really pretty. The rendering/shading job on them are really something else. Very unique. :3
And wow. The finished commissioned picture looks quite different from the WIPS, you've shown us. The lighting has changed quite a lot. A lot more dramatic and a new feel to it has been added. I'm quite fond of the lighting. It's really pretty and the color coordination is really well....coordinated. ;P
You have quite a distinct style of painting your fur too. I can't help but admire how realistic the face of the feline is, as well. Those eyes, that nose...really well rendered. The color differential in the fur is also nicely placed, else it would throw the realism off...so nice job, a very nice job. I don't think I've ever commented on your work before, but I'm exceptionally fond of your realism pieces. They show a lot of effort and you really achieve something special with them. I'm always looking forward to seeing new paintings from you. :3 Keep it up and don't let the trolls get you down, 'cause I'd really miss seeing your work.
