Crecious

Hi from Morocco!

I'm a digital artist working my way around the world and heading now from Africa to Europe and soaking up artistic influences, so far I've seen the Louvre, the Alhambra, Dali museum and the museums of New York. I'm hoping some of it will rub off! Along the way I've acquired a drivers licence, food handlers permit, US voter registration, crochet and conversational ploys in a few new languages. Arabic anyone?

My personal palette is full of royal colors... blues, greens, golds and reds.

I'm traveling on a shoestring, but a shoestring paid for by the sale of my art. I'm getting there bit by bit. Always striving for excellence, not perfection.
Looking forward to summer in the Alps and the cultures of Northern Europe.

My Friends here on DA, They're all awesome!

"So not that long ago I posted a thread announcing Fhaolan as the newest Administrator here on MLPF. I wanted this announcement to be whimsical, which is something I tend to go for with most of them. I had an idea of tying it into Season Six somehow, and after a few minutes of internal brainstorming ... I had the theme. I wanted Troblems/Matron, Spoon/Yellow Diamond, and myself standing around a foal Fhaolan. I hadn't yet commissioned Crecious ... but having seen their work ... pinged Crecious and offered them the opportunity to create the below image.

Now, I have a rule when I commission any artwork. I give a general ... vague idea of what I want. I prefer to allow the artist to have free reign in interpreting what I want since I am paying for their expertise. I have over directed in the past and I found that giving the artist a general concept producing better results. In this situation those instructions were:

"Admin OC's ... looking at baby Fhao shocked"

Crecious started asking the appropriate probing questions ... what should the background be, etc. Crecious made the suggestion to make Spoon a Ponified Yellow Diamond since there is an unfortunate lack of a Spoon ponyosa. kiedokielokie:

Then over the next day and a half I received a constant stream of work-in-progress images awaiting my approval throughout the process. That sort of communication is precisely what I love about Crecious. You have the opportunity to make adjustments if needed, and in a weird way Crecious makes this feel more like a partnership than a buyer/payer relationship. Communication is perfect. The completion time was likewise astonishing. Crecious may not rush orders ahead of others, but the overall speed makes it feel like there is a rush.

Now to the piece in question. Upon seeing the final product, it generated the largest smile and gut laugh I had for days. If it could produce that reaction on someone who came up with the idea and saw the WIP's as they were made, then I suspected Crecious nailed what I was going for. I can tell you the reaction it got from Fhaolan was beautiful.

I would say without hesitation that commissioning Crecious was a great idea, and I will be doing so again. "

"I must say, with so many commission shops here on the forums with talented artists each with their own unique styles, I felt a little overwhelmed with the choices when I decided to go with Crecious because he showed considerable talent in his craft for reasonable prices. And when he said to me that he would like to try a theater theme for my commission, I thought he meant having my Ponysona simply posing on stage. absolutely did not expect him to recreate the iconic scene from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. As a passionate enthusiast for Theater, you can probably understand I was jaw dropping upon seeing this. The detail is just so astoundingly beautiful, and an excellent recreation of what is a very passionate and emotional moment in any Theatrical production.
I can only recommend to any looking for a quality commission from a respectful, knowledgeable and very skilled individual that Crecious will have all those needs covered and more. I will certainly be keeping him in mind for future purchases"

"For a long while I had the hardest time trying to come up with a mental image of a deer character that would best represent me. I have a sizable team of OC characters, but they don’t represent me. They have their own backstories, professions, and growth potentials that ultimately will be separate from my own. As such I wanted a character that would share a certain resemblance with me, and, thanks to my admiration of deer from the MLP comics, would be a deer.

I did have one request fulfilled by a friend, and they largely captured what I wanted, though there were a few things that I couldn’t pinpoint that could’ve improved it. Some time later an artist by the name of Crecious, knowing of my affinity for the creatures, openly offered to me to commission him a pic. With the previous pic as a reference, what he did with the deer and my three basic additions (glasses, mustache, Skyrim necklace) was simply outstanding. The mustache was especially challenging for me, and his interpretation almost mirrors how my mustache forms on my face. BRILLIANT!

So what else can I say? The end product was outstanding, and Crecious was, and is, an absolute joy to work with, and to chat with. In the end while this was a project between the two of us, it was his initiative that got it going, and I am very appreciative of it. Thank you, Crecious! <3"
