The difference is that I think it's fun to work with a lot of different reference photos and make something new from them,

Oh dear, if I gave the impression that I don't do this I am sorry. I do indeed use as many reference sources as I can. But somewhere in the stack of resource materials accumulated for a particular portrait, there must be something with enough information in it that makes it possible to produce a decent painting.
I find that all painting is fun for me - no matter what the subject matter - but I do like to get paid for my time and materials. I would rather use my "non-commission" time painting a landscape or a still life that I can eventually sell.
