I totally agree. Commissions are best when the customer keeps it simple. For example: Leo in the city, raph vs foot, mikey's on rooftop, or splinter at Christmas. It gives the buyer what they essentially want, yet leaves a ton of room for the artist to have fun. The worst is when a customer doesn't understand the concept of creative licence. It gets ridiculouse when customers start nit picking things like, I think I'd prefer the rock to be on the right side instead of the left or they ask you to add more grass in the field, then later say there's now too much grass in the field.
