I don't usually like to complain about clients on here, but the client on this project was an absolute NIGHTMARE to work with ;)
There's truly nothing worse as an illustrator than trying to make an illustration for yourself! I went through so many ideas and styles before landing on this one.
Of course the final design I landed on is the one I was secretly wanting to do from the start. I kept coming up with reasons not to - it doesn't quite match the style in my portfolio, the colors are weird, there's not enough deep symbolism, blah blah... but in the end this was the only design that felt right.
What do you think? How hard is it to design for yourself?

Reason exists to justify what the heart feels. Sometimes I follow that idea to give free rein to my artistic instincts. By the way, great work! 🖤
