I won't lie, one thing that I am quite unimpressed about is how often I see this very picture repeated with no alteration whatsoever. I have seen this drawing in various different mediums at least once every two months since joining deviant art. Do not be mistaken however by thinking I am unimpressed. The technique is exquisite! However, again I must stress my need for some originality! As for vision, I do not see the artist's vision behind drawing this. And there is no description to help me understand why it is the way it is. Yes, I'm sure that there is a reason Doctor House has tape over his mouth, but after reading the description, I would never be able to know what it is. But lastly, as for impact, since I don't know what this image is about, it makes it difficult for me to connect emotionally with the work. Yes, there are bandaids on a man's face, but why? Is he being silenced by the culture? Does he feel like his voice doesn't matter? Has be actually just received a cut on his lip? What's the purpose of the bandaids? Honestly, I am a LITTLE interested to know and wish that detail had been deemed worthy to be included. But going back to the positives, your technique really is GREAT! And you could definitely make a living just drawing people and selling it... but I challenge you to strive for me. And I realize that this is a commission... but even still...
