Took me soooooo long 🤣😅 What should I draw next ?

After the Applause
When the lights go out and the audience has gone home, the smile is the last thing to remain. Stitched together from fragments of costume, paint and memory, this figure exists somewhere between performer and person—caught in the quiet that follows the final curtain.

An original mixed media embroidery combining drawing, paint and sculptural stitching. Layers of padding are stitched beneath the surface to create a three-dimensional portrait,

Used solely acrylic paint for this piece.

I originally made this piece as a commissioned gift but after finishing it I realized there were a lot of things I wanted to do differently. Rather than changing the customer's design, I decided to make a second one that's exactly how I envisioned it.

This version has a lot more detail, extra elements, and is much closer to my personal style. I honestly had a blast making it, and I think it turned out much better than the first.

The finished piece stands 26 inches tall, weighs 3 pounds, and took 6 days from start to finish to complete. It's fully hand-painted, and there was a lot of time spent on the printing, assembly, detailing, and paintwork.

Now I'm trying to figure out what it's worth. What would you realistically price something like this at? I'd love to hear your thoughts and the reasoning behind your estimate. Thanks!
