I got in a couple of 8” x 11 1/2” commissions by Giancarlo Caracuzzo today...

Vega:

And The Baroness:

 

Out of curiosity, what's the breakdown on the percentage of artists who know who Vega is, versus those for whom you have to explain/provide references?

I'm guessing it might be somewhat dependent on the age of artist, but I've long been curious if you get more of a "who?" response, or a "oh, cool idea" response when you ask for him.

Out of all of the artists I have gotten commissions from, Graham Nolan was the only artist who had no clue who Vega was.  He said he wasn’t into video games so asked me for some reference pics.

Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone else automatically knew Vega right away.  I suspect the other artists may have done Google image searches.  Surprisingly, I’ve gotten more confirmation requests about The Baroness than Vega.

Wow!  That's legitimately shocking to me.  I would figure most any/all artists (at least U.S.-based ones) would have a pretty good familiarity with Baroness.  Vega just seems more out there, where unless you're fairly deep into vidya games, I could understand you not knowing him by name.

I saw this a couple days ago and it reminded me of you...
