Regarding picturing people - see below.
We've made it once from the photo from
http://www.public-domain-photos.com/ - so, she's not a star nor politician
. The palette of styles is wider, we've just joined together few examples.
Just to participate in dscussion - SPEC works are needed, of course you can sit calm waiting for a client, you can stick to one style for the rest of your life and cease informing the world about your abilities.
We like refreshing our portfolio, from time to time. It's a question of choice, not of quality of the designer.
And we like when people appreciate widely what we do - because making art is for us not only a way of earning money.
And when they donate - we are even more happy
i'm sorry but those pics look like you
used a program to automatically edit it for you

No offence to a fellow artist tho
