We paid for a Silver-level painting, and even before we asked for the windows to be filled in, she had told me she had placed Gold-level effort into the work. That said, I believe she is being understanding considering this is a group commission and people can be very difficult to get to agree, but I think we need to be careful of that for our next collaboration because art takes a lot of work. Backgrounds are in fact usually the most expensive and difficult thing for most artists too; keep that in mind!
