I feel like the $250 commission artist got the short end of the stick a little bit, I know it seemed a bit more simple compared to Jazza's, but that interpretation of the direction of "Tarot-style" is totally on point for a lot of the Rider Waite Tarot decks. Some Tarot decks (especially black & white deck) are SUPER detailed, but most are quite minimalistic to give the Reader room for interpretation. The piece they made 100% fits the Tarot-style description

True

With the $250 piece, Jazza did a great job, but it didn’t resemble what I commonly view as Tarot card artwork. It upset me to hear that they felt there was a miscommunication with the Fiverr artist, when honestly, the Fiverr artist successfully altered their personal style to fit the requested parameters, whereas Jazza did not. If the commissioner truly just wanted the Fiverr artist’s style to be utilized, that should’ve just been said, instead of requesting a very specific art style like Tarot, which didn’t match Jazza or the Fiverr artist’s usual style at all. Overall, everyone did a great job. Edit: I’m aware that there are different art styles of Tarot, but my opinion doesn’t really alter even when bringing that into consideration. The point is, the Fiverr artist inarguably used one of those art styles, correct? Yes, It is upsetting that it was not the style the commissioner imagined, but as I expressed, I fear there may have been a lack of specification when speaking to the artist (which they seemingly also felt); therefore, I feel it unfair how they spoke of it-just made me a bit upset for him. I think everyone should appreciate how he switched things up to create what he felt was a more accurate representation of tarot than his own personal style could provide. Just like Jazza, that individual seems willing to try new things! As my other comment on this video details, the video simply felt like it was missing the usual informative, constructive-criticism/positive reinforcement atmosphere that I feel Jazza always provides us with!

The $500 category is really hard to pick between because they're such different styles! I think the choice would ultimately be based on what the purpose of the art was. If it was sort of a reference to look at during the game, I'd say Jazza's because the semi-realism and colors make it easier to picture each character in various scenarios. For just an art piece to display, the Fiverr artist really made something special. The use of different texture techniques and colors for each character make them all stand out, and the shapes used to fill in large areas give a great sense of movement and feeling.

Even if it takes only 30 minutes to make something, you've spent years honing your skill to be able to do that (assuming that the drawing actually does look good and not sloppy). But this is also contradicted by how much normal people are willing to pay for your art. If you raise your prices when few people commissioned you to begin with, you'll probably be making less money than you would have before because no one would be commissioning you.

Plus it just backing up work if other people also commission while the artist is still on the large one that the customer may not even like.

$25 Commission 1:30 : Jazza's was well drawn and nicely colored. The second artist's was in my opinion even better drawn due to having more gesture in the lines, but no color. The last one was good and still ok for $25. $250 Commission 3:52 : This one is the most controversial. Jazza's was very nice for the most part, but didn't look as "Tarot" as the Fiverr artist's drawing. I'd say I preferred Jazza's drawing, but that is irrelevant because the Fiverr artist stuck to the rules more. They should have understood that. They asked for Tarot, they received Tarot. $500 Commission 8:28 : Jazza really flexed his artistic chops on this one. It was a beauty. HOWEVER, once again, he didn't follow the instructions of the piece as well as the Fiverr artist. He left out the snow and 'spirit of winter' following the elvish woman and the rapier of the 3rd character 'Flint'. So, in a sense, while his artistic skills are still strong, Jazza's "listening" skills are rusty. Maybe he's too used to calling the shots. The Fiverr artist once again, did as instructed and created a beautiful piece in a different style. If I paid $500, I'd want all of the details I requested to be included. Sorry Jazza.

The only issue I take with this is that in all instances, a commissioned piece was done without input along the way from the client. That's something I do constantly when I'm working for commissions. It keeps the client active in deciding what they like or what they don't, and if they have objections they can raise them before additional time and materials are wasted. It's by no means a perfect system, but it's better than just going on blind faith.

At the end of the day it's comissions and artists have to play around what the client wants.

I found that the $25 one was to the point and is a bit more then what you paid for (good thing). The $250 has high expectations but you still have to cut corners and some of them are noticeable. The $500 one however has high expectations like the $250 one though it is exicuted at the best of your ability. If I was the costumer I would rather go with the quick, cheap $25 or go all in and get the well exicuted $500. Keep in mind all of this is just my personal preference.

I think the best way to do something like this is to have the "commissioner" pick a favorite blindly instead of "Hey, I'm your boss, here's the one I made and here's the other one, what do you think?" I would like to believe Jazza wouldn't be weird about it if someone picked the other art piece, but regardless of how cool a boss you are, you're still a boss and they're still an employee and I feel it would be more difficult to disappoint someone you know than it would be to disappoint a stranger.

Agreed, worse is that there are no links etc in the description. Just cus they're fiver artists doesn't mean they don't deserve the same respect as KZreadrs etc. They are collaborators, so you gotta link and credit. This just rubbed me the wrong way

Jazza, you’re a wonderful artist and human being. However, this video felt very off to me. Normally, you express a lot of gratitude towards other artists and their efforts, and are very supportive of them and their work. It is what I think many of us love about you! I did not see much of that throughout the video, however, and instead it came off slightly judgmental and unappreciative between you and those you work with. I believe this video was simply cut far too short to really shine as an idea, and that is where the odd vibes are stemming from. Furthermore, it felt fairly biased in regards to the “choose your favorite piece” portion, and I expected more of an analysis of what makes each piece good, and what is lacking in each piece in order to come to the conclusion they did. I believe that would’ve helped create more of a learning experience for viewers and fellow artists, and created a better air to the video itself. Overall, constructive criticism is important, and of course, my feelings are simply opinion and not fact. I love you as always, and I appreciate all your hard work to entertain us-keep up the great work!

I will start with what I disagree with you Anastasia. In my opinion, artistic fields like drawing are one of the most competitive fields, and here he is a contender, competing with other artists, That's why you see less of gratitude/appreciation and more of criticism/judgment, its the nature of a competition, its an intrinsic element of it. It is different from what Jazza is used to do normally, and this is what you noticed. So, what he did here is naturally correct, but unusual for many to see him in a competitive manner. You appear to me to be against his competitive behavior (and I might be wrong). If my assumption is true, I have to say that I use to be against competition myself and believed in cooperation only, but recently come to realize how important competition is, it should never be discouraged, its one of the primary drivers for us humans to learn and improve and for the fields we are working in to develop and flourish. And now for what I agree with you on. Having the staff rate him is wrong, as a bias towards him will consciously or unconsciously happen as there is a conflict of interest. But I think this is due to the pressure of time and the pressure to come up with new ideas.

I mean to be fair he paid them 500 dollars and 250

You can really tell when Jazza puts in his best effort for a piece, and it pays off. I love the entertaining content but I miss seeing this content too, the stuff that's clearly satisfying for him.

love the idea. but i can't help thinking that there's some unfairness going on here, there's a bias in favour to Jazza since you know all the people and EVEN judging the pieces together with them, that's not fair, also the styles between Jazza and the Fiver-artist should be more comparable, i wish you guys would make a redo of this concept, ask 3 agencies for tasks, find similar artists, the agencies should feedback and commenting on the material without Jazza & Co. influence ;)... you could go a step further and have a mediator in-between Jazza and the agencies... :D- now THAT'll be a fair game sir. Jazza.

I have been watching you since the start of my art career, and you inspired me to start doing art in the fist place along with a few others like Ross Tran, and The lovely Ella Kremer (Not a youtuber, but arguably my biggest influence), and I am now making a living doing art. I have been doing freelance work for years now, and I have been watching you while growing on my own the whole time. I have come to realize that you have been sacrificing your art a bit for the sake of making more varied content (which there's nothing wrong with), and I think I ended up growing past you in technical skill (of course this is subjective.) But in my eyes you are a youtuber/entrepreneur first, and an artist second. And that's perfectly fine. I think to me, you feel like a dad to the art community, and I bet you are responsible for many young artists starting their career, like myself. When that has been said, I think there's a lot of responsibility in being kind of a "father figure" to the art community. That involves treating the little guy fairly among other things. This video feels like one of 2 things to me. Either its an ad for your art kit, or its you using your platform to cope with imposter syndrome/insecurities by having your own art validated over other smaller artists. Neither of those are very palpable to me. That is my honest opinion. But maybe I'm just no longer part of your target audience.

Lol it's def not one of those two things, it's both of them 😂

I preferred Jazza’s for the lower two tiers, and LOVED his $500 dollar one, but the Fiverr artist had such a unique style for that one that I also really really loved it. I also would choose both!

As someone who's been doing commission work on and off for the past couple years, it's always interesting to see how different people value their time and the art they make with that time, and what differences there are in style and workload etc. Great video as always!! Learned a lot!

The biggest slap in the face being a Commission artist is having people ask me to do the exact style of another artist rather than my own style I've spent years working on.

does anyone else watch this and then remember the draw with jazza days, and his amazing quirky into and just cry a little bit haha. I started my art career while he was in the show and it helped me so much and was my go to.

Being a... "starving artist" myself (or at least, I tried to break into the market, failed, and settled for forever being a "hobby" artist) I feel like Jazza (whom I love and have been following for a couple years or more) was definitely worth the $25 and $250 commissions (as did the fiverr artists) but IMO, he did NOT do the $500 commission justice and I think the fiverr artist did. Reason? The fiverr artist included a background AND was much more detailed as far as the work that went into it is concerned. When I tried the professional artist gig the one thing I noticed was that EVERYONE wanted a background and that the artists always charged MORE for commissions that had backgrounds (because they're more work). If I commissioned a piece for $500, I'd want a background - or at the very least the suggestion of a background. I'd be VERY disappointed with just the characters on (essentially) a blank page. I can get 3 characters without a background on devArt for about $40. For a $500 commission - regardless of what it's supposed to be - I want a background (unless specifically told otherwise). The Fiverr artist did that - gave an almost tapestry-like background that offset the characters that were part of the commission and tied the piece together. Jazza just left it white (apart from the slight glow around the... fairy?) On saying that, I understand the thought process that Jazza went through, the fact that he can't spend all day (or 3 days) on one art piece for $500 and call it a "paycheck" because he's essentially working for at least... 8? people (4 + jazza in video, jazza's wife + 2 kids) so a single $500 commission isn't worth it and isn't going to fund an entire studio for... an hour much less 3 days worth of work. There's a reason why professional artists are often called "starving artists", $500 doesn't stretch very far especially if you have a partner and 2 kids to feed. I do love both art pieces (all of them really) I just don't think it's a fair comparison when you weigh Jazza's income needs against professional "commission gigging artists'" because the effort values (assuming that commissions are their 'full time job') that each are putting into the works are going to vary substantially as a result of personal circumstances.

Jazza your vulnerability and self-reflection always impresses me - the bits you said about how you can make your content a "joke" if you don't feel confident enough to stand behind the artwork on its own. This kind of depth in a KZread creator (combined with awesome content) is rare. BRAVO.

Really missed seing you create new character illustrations! Really like your style and seeing your process. Hopefully this video gets enough views to warrant more illustration videos! Maybe some random prompt ones, those are always fun ^^

Dang that $500 commission was definitely worth $500, you can tell the artist takes pride in their work.

I would have picked all of your pieces over the others, Jazza! But the first pancake monster drawing should have been w/o color for $25 to match the others that also did not have color.

Being a commission based artist is so difficult, trying to make ends meet with your art is difficult and trying to find that sweet spot between charging enough that you can survive and giving your client a good deal is hard. People will always try and talk you down in your price, and you might not feel your art qualifies as, say, £500. You also fear messing up and making your client upset, which in turn makes you judge your own art skills. At least, that's how I feel. I am not good enough to do commissions but the idea of doing it spikes my anxiety.

This is the kind of content I absolutely adore. Just quality illustration left and right and a little twist every time to keep it interesting...

Dude that 500 dollars drawing is underrated, I loved how much detail they put into it

I think it would be fun to compare your drawings to artists on fiver who have the same kind of art style you have. All those drawings were amazing but you almost can't compare them because of the different styles they were drawn in.

Do this more often to bring up the notoriety of other artists. This is a good pay-it-forward thing.

The content Jazza has been producing since this new studio is just incredible, he has that glistening smile back again and seems to be really enjoying himself with everything in this new place. I remember watching that video with the reddit thread of “Who have you unsubscribed from?” and I know it must’ve hurt to read that, but he’s come back swinging and I get super excited whenever he drops a new video! love u lil jazzy boy, proud of u.

It would be fun to see peoples response, because at the end of the day everyone desires and likes a different- or set of art styles they appeal to. And of course you’d be at least minimally biased because you have a set art style and the paid artists have their own set of experience and styles.

Jazza if this is how you draw when you're "rusty" I can't even imagine what an artist you would be if you did this full time all these years. Insanely talented.

Jazza I just want to say thank you for everything you talked about in this video. As a commission artist myself, I went through all of these things as I was finishing commissions for Christmas. It really helps to know even big artists such as yourself go through this. And I think pricing is such an important topic that needs to be talked about more. Thank you!

I love this video because so much of what you said is so true and not many people think about it. Time available and the tools you are making determines in a way the range of art you will be making but of course those who do commissions are aware of that, so they price around that. I always have problems pricing my stuff right depending on what supplies and level of complexity a commission is. I loved all the three artworks you made and everything everyone else made, the $250 tier from fiver probably was short on time as well so his piece didn't have much color, still amazing art. Merry Christmas!

Jazza, remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some art styles are more appealing to others and your style is appealing in certain categories but for me I thought the $500 5fiver was better than yours but you are competing against my artistic tastes. Not to say your art work wasn't excellent it just was different and the style appealed to me. Thank you for your time. Luis

It is a joy to hear an artist of your talents to be doubtful as well. We all know there is always someone better at anything, but when we put our best foot forward and the consumer is totally satisfied with the work it is a huge relief and praise to receive. Love your work sir and your genuine presence.

All the art pieces in this video are truly fascinating and it's amazing to see what people are capable of! Sometimes I wish I could draw something which was even 1% as good as these talented artists but despite that, I feel motivated to draw just because I enjoy it. Great content as always!

There are no bad drawings in this video. Which is “better”, is purely a matter of preference.

Jazza starting his new career as a fiver artist

Coming back to your channel after many years, and it’s definitely reigniting a spark for digital art used to have. Thanks!

Oh Jazza, I absolutely love how humble you are although you're so damn successful and you deserve all of that. You may be not the greatest artist in the world (whoever that would be), but we just love your work, having fun and how you're in it with all your heart ♥️

I feel like how much jazza genuinely cares about having someone feel like their money was well spent when they go to him, immediately makes him worth $500, he's a sympathetic person who'll go that extra length to talk with the person to give them exactly what they wanted, he's a bit rough around the edges and i wouldn't say he's "professional" (someone brought to my attention he forgot the characters rapier) so because of little details like that i'd probably drop him to like $450-$400, plus im sure little things like that could be worked out with the commissioner

Jazza , I want to convey my sincere gratitude for all the fantastic content you've so generously shared this past year ! Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday ! Looking forward to seeing what you create in 2022 !

I REALLY missed you actually drawing like you used to and I’m really glad to have you back. I think would all love these type of videos in the future! ❤️

The lack of communication throughout the process has always been my issue with Fiverr. When I do commissions, I have this whole process where I make the sketch and I send it and I'm like "are there any details you want to change?" so that I don't end up wasting time doing lineart and THEN having to ask them to revise it later.

It was so nice to, once again, see how good you are at drawing! I love the slightly goofy videos in general, but sometimes it nice to just enjoy some quality illustration! That 500 dollar piece is amazing!

I loved this one! I'd love to see another like this. It was so much fun to see the comparison and you definitely smashed every one of those challenges.

I can't stop watching your videos. They're always something interesting that I never knew I wanted to watch and they always end up being really fun. Thank you! 😊

Jazza: Draws a zinger in the end for the first 500 dollar commission Also Jazza: Self doubt Yeah buddy, be more confident in your talent.

I'm not someone with money so the most I ever paid for a commisson was $80 and that was from an artist I personally know. Usually I cap it at $45. I think art is extremely worth it and if I were rich I'd just buy art at all levels and tip so well

Please do something like this again! Geez that last illustration is just GORGEOUS. Seriously amazing, I miss seeing you do your thing. :)

HOLY CRAP!!! That shading and blending on the final piece!!! 😲😲😲 SO AMAZING!!

So cool to see you really put in the time to make an epic artwork just for the sake of making an epic artwork. You're an incredible artist and entertainer and you bring both those worlds together in such a great way!

I would love to have seen the 250 in 500 quality. And I think if Jazza's 500 had a striking background it would have won it for Dave. I felt a background was missing. But you can for sure see why Jazza could make a living off commissions, he really is super talented.

I absolutely loved to hear your insight into how you would approach each commission. I have to say, I liked your work the best in each case, especially the last one. Made me wish you still did commission work!

I love seeing your fantastically detailed fantasy characters, which is what made me subscribe back in the day! I'd love to see more of this

I loved the $25 and $500, the $250, I felt the other one had a more tarot feel due to colours, but yours had the better detail. I'm thankful to hear even though I'm a beginner, even professionals like yourself constantly question and are respectful of other possibly more talented artists. Much love your work is brilliant, would love to see some step by step videos for us newbies though😊

I cry with how fast you finish everything!!! It takes me SO LONG to do just ONE piece! I unfortunately wasn't able to order the set but hopefully in the future if you bring together another set of art supplies I'll be able to fetch it!

i loved the $500 commission, and the dynamic posing and staging(?) that the artist used. that to me signifies much more value than jazza's, and fits the commissioner's vision a lot more. not to mention the ability to make something so full of life without anything other than pen and paper. also diappointed that Jazza missed out the rapier. im sure jazza could charge $500, but those couple of things got in the way for me

These briefs are mind blowing to me. If I had that much skill I'd never have to order a commission in the first place

Dave has so much enthusiasm it's absolutely precious and I really hope Jazza let him take that piece home 🥺

Thanks for ALL this effort you put into these vids and you still manage to upload often! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Absolutely, 100% a worthy $500 commission artist. The energy and expression coming off them is so palpable, I can only imagine that if I got a piece like that done of my own characters, I would honestly get kinda emotional. ✨

This is the first Jazza video I've seen in my binge watching that left a bad taste in my mouth. It felt like he was just flexing all over the other artists, and set the reveals up so his would be the chosen one. And on ALL THREE in some way he didn't listen/follow directions. He just did what he wanted to do to look cool (and sell his art box). #1 his was in color, the others weren't so his stands out. #2 Tarot was specifially requested. The artist gave her Tarot. Jazza just drew what he wanted. #3 She made it a point to mention snow and a RAPIER. Neither of those were left in. You left out the DnD characters main weapon...to draw what you wanted. Love ya Jazza, but this could have been approached and handled so much better/more professionally.

I enjoyed this so much! It’s great to see your full potential without a gimmick or challenge.

Just got my Jazza art kit and I love it! Thanks for getting me back into art with this!!

Okay Jazza, here’s my honest opinion: I obviously love all your work because I’m a long-time subscriber to your channel! I think your first pic was worth more than $25, due to the added colours. The second pic however, didn’t strike me as a $250 piece, I’m not entirely sure why though, but having said that, I do definitely prefer yours over the other person’s piece. The third one blew me away to be honest, I literally said “Wow…” out loud while watching the video. I do love the other artist’s piece as well though. Having done that kind of illustration myself, I understand just how long it takes to make a piece with that much detail, and they did a phenomenal job. But there is a depth in yours that outshines the other one in a different way. It’s easy to see in both pieces that they are the same characters, but yours seem ready to move, as if it was the opening frame of an animation.

Man, knowing that even Jazza feels the insecurity of being an artist really hits

You are such a worthy artist through all your experiece you have and the way you challenge yourself! I would love a JPAC one day. Proud of your journey.

All of your art was amazing. I loved the art of those you commissioned as well. The commission of the 500 level I think is my favorite based on style. Great video.
