Very nice and clean work... That being said this wouldn't be someone I would go to for a sugar skull. If you are going for an traditional rose then yes but if you were going for a realistic rose then no.

He's drawing some stuff up for me now. I'm headed over there tomorrow to take a look. I'm looking for some depth and tons of detail in the skulls and real dark roses with some wind to tie my othe pieces together with it.

Kinda like this stuff....

I'm kinda freaked out about not knowing How his drawing is gonna come out. What do I say if it's not what I'm looking for? Do I tell him to change it or just leave and find someone else? What about the time he already spent?

If you want depth that is not your guy.... His work is as clean as shit but realism and depth isn't going to be his strong point.. Find someone else.

Is this considered depth? This is the look,

Not really but a sugar skull isn't really meant to have a ton of depth unless your going Nikko style

Ok I was using incorrect terminology... I actually love both looks. Lol But if I'm doing the sugars then I'll stay traditional correct? I know u said earlier that u wouldn't choose him for sugars bc of his style?

The second to last pic in his portfolio is a sugar skull with roses. Is that the look that you want? remember most of the time only their very stuff makes it to their portfolio. Would you want that on you? if you answer yes then he is the guy for you. If no the chances the one he does on you will be worse.
