As an addition, if they are not willing (or able) to accommodate you in your requirements for this painting, then I would pass on the commission.

You will likely not be happy with the work you produce and there is an increased chance that they would not be either. We are not magicians and we cannot make bricks without straw.

There are extremely few folk on the planet that can paint and capture the likeness and essence of a highly animated figure on a stage from 20 or 30 feet away...if you get that close!
