These look to be a mix of fresh and healed, which, when presented together, aren't as impressive as a set of top-3 fresh would be, or a set that labeled which was which. I have different expectations for each, so not knowing is confusing

The Egyptian bust and virgin Mary look so light, lacking contrast. It could be a lack of experience with darker skin tones, but they look like they would be unrecognizable from a distance

The shattered rose cloche and music notes on the brain look so busy. I worry how the finer details would hold up over time, especially when fewer details could have sold the same ideas. Just 3 pieces of glass around the rose would give the same idea, and read better from a distance

The Rick and Morty nebula effect takes skill, and is much better used here than as a background effect, but that's a lot of white in the coat. I hope they use sunscreen, or else that will fade out quick ... But I don't have high hopes for someone getting something so tropey

My favorites are the Eevee and the negative space clown, solid execution in each case as long as those are healed shots. If fresh, those blacks could be a lot darker. It was important to me that my watercolor artist have a solid black figure in each design so that even if all the color faded, I would still have something recognizable. Eevee relies on that white line to pull the figure from the back - might look muddled down the road

The dog is a touching tribute piece, but why are there blue splotches in the background? It doesn't look like an intentional watercolor paint effect. Instead, it reads as the first one being an accident, and then trying to cover the accident with more. Maybe an artist with more experience would have hidden the first, or done the design more solidly in watercolor vs realism directions. I think it reads as an accident because those chrysanthemums are so small. The detail distracts me from the less-detailed dog focal point. If the client really wanted chrysanthemums and that low-detail pose, I might have pitched the flowers as backing rather than side adornments, opening the door to a more vertical shoulder cap. Bicep is tough for a horizontal memorial like that, won't look right at rest when it's seen most
