I think if you talk to any of my commissioners or some of the artists who are more familiar with me, they can tell you if they thought the process was satisfactory.

With regards to communication, I usually respond to every email and note (that is not a request or anything ridiculous) within 24 hours.
You opinion is the Most important thing because the design is presumably going to be on your skin, not mine. So with regards to that, if the image is not what you're looking for, of coures I'll be willing to modify it.

HOWEVER, I am in the process of trying to find out how much is too much... I've had many commissioners ask me to modify the design once or twice, and that was not a problem at all. However, a recent commission I did was modified 18 times before the commissioner was satisfied. I did charge him another fee, and all of this is at no fault of the commissioner (and not lack of communication because we sent like a million emails back and forth) but simply a difference in the way we viewed the concept of the design.

As much as I appreciate said person's patience and willingness to stick it through, and as much as I learned through the entire process, I do not want something like that to happen again.

I hope this crazy-long reply was somewhat helpful to you! I guess the bottomline is, if you don't really know what you're looking for and want to see if I can whip up something nice, I'd suggest looking for another designer.
If you know my work and are familiar with my styles, and know what design you want (in which style), then I'd be happy to design something for you!

Thank you!
And I must say that you have some pretty beautiful photographs in your gallery!

Sorry, but I don't do requests.
