>>43816971Think about it from the artist's perspective. Assume the artist is some random small fish noname with a generically attractive anime style, and the commission instructions are simply "hey can you draw me in a cool standing pose thx"
Option 1: make it a flattering interpretation, guy is happy, maybe get repeated business
Option 2: make it a faithful interpretation.
Maybe the guy is fine with it.
Maybe he asks for "one more little adjustment" until you cut him off.
Maybe the guy ragequits and you never get his business again (hopefully no angry mob forms).
Maybe the result is so unattractive you don't even really want to add it to your gallery.
Going with option 1 is just so much easier.
