I will also not send the rough draft sketches at full size, that's sort of a waste of time. I will not send you larger versions of someone else's work, though, please don't ask. Now, I understand that there are people who feel that, if they're paying for something, they should get every last bit of that something they bought, need it or not, and that's fine. It's a moot point anyway since FA's max file size is 10MG, which is plenty big enough for this kind of venue. Unless circumstances change, I will always post public art in JPEG format because, and I say this with certainty, you do not need a 91MG file of someone else's commission. And the file I uploaded here is a bit smaller, 1.73MG, because I feel the customer should have a larger file than what is displayed to the public. (I won't send you a JPEG that's full of artifacts). Unless you need it for print, or you're still working on it, such as adding color to lineart I've done for you, why would you need a file that large? The JPEG I sent to Anon remained 300dpi (the max size I work in) and measured 5.17 MG.still looks perfectly fine, but much more handleable. Delivering a file that size is.just silly.

Here’s an example: this commission for Anon. So I open them in Paint and save them as JPEGs. And because PNGs tend to be problematic….about half the PNG files people send me for reference material can’t be opened in Photoshop. The format was created to handle graphics on the Internet. I know there are some folks who feel it’s gotta be PNG or nothing, but I use JPEG because it’s, well, sufficient. I send JPEGs by default, but if you prefer another format, such as PNGs or PSDs, all you have to do is ask. It was written back when CDs were still relevant, so I’ve updated the wording. TisFoolish brought it to my attention that my commission info was vague in the “What you will get” section. I know people keep suggesting, Krita, SAI, but I don't have these things. But if you're going to want a PNG of your commission work from me, I'm sending you the full-sized file and you can compress it yourself as you see fit. I'm sure that the PNG format makes a much more noticeable difference with hard-edged images and solid blocks of color, which it was my understanding that's what PNG was designed for anyway. I had to zoom in so close to see a noticeable difference in quality that the image was badly pixelated anyway. When I first opened both images in PS side by side I couldn't see a difference at all. Still way too big for posting and truly, not a huge difference in appearance from the 5MG JPEG. It took about 10 minutes for my computer to do it, which, meh.and the end result was still 33MG.

UPDATE Jan.7: Ok, so I took the file I used as an example below and flattened the PSD, saved it as a PNG with the Smallest File option (most compression, as I understand it).
