Positive Review: Shyads, #97306
Who:Â Shyads, #97306
What:Â Art; general conduct
Why:Â They deserve recognition.
When:Â June 2017
Explain: I won a free headshot from Shyads and asked if they could handle my rather challenging character in dragon form. I sent human art of the character - comprised of sentient liquid, essentially - and a very detailed written description, and asked if they could draw it as a spiral. I said I didn’t have the actual dragon yet for them to use as reference. They did so, magnificently.
Shyads was very communicative from the start, and while they were a little slow, I have absolutely no complaints about them. I think it took a little over a couple of weeks to get it done, but I think that’s fair. It was free, and I explicitly said I didn’t mind waiting if they had other stuff to do (and I do believe they would have hurried up had I asked them to). I consider two weeks perfectly acceptable for utterly free art of such high quality.
They sent WiPs regularly, and checked in to make sure I approved of what they were doing. I didn’t need to ask for a single change, as they understood my intention for the character so well, but if I needed to I had plenty of opportunity.
They were also just generally pleasant to talk to, and took an interest in the character behind the art. IÂ highly recommend commissioning them.
