Luckily that doesn't happen to me XD I accept all kinds of orders, and I do tell them clearly I will do it in MY way and I ask for some artistic freedom. Someone who tell me what to do will not have a big chance to get accepted... at all.
I mean, if you look at my samples, none are really the same. I decide what looks best and what I prefer to do myself 3nodding
Well... take the example with cold_blooded_angel... her character is a man's man type... very male, and that's part of the character's personality. I can't change such a character to suit my art style, which is feminine. >_> I draw girly guys. *Is stabbed to death again* Even my dominate characters have an elegance to them, and look... too... pretty. NONE of them are macho. So in such a case, it's not so much about them telling me I HAVE to do something, it's I CAN'T do your character justice.
