Oh, I don't think artists are necessarily difficult to deal with, but I know from outsourcing other work that communication is key to a job going smoothly, and I've never done anything like that with an artist. If you don't know how to communicate what is needed precisely, it can lead to wasted time and effort.
When I have had to do this I normally start small with the artist and then work up.  I give a DETAILED description of what I am looking for, if I have an idea.  If I am vague I give a description and let them lead me in a  verbal discussion, then let them give  me a prelim piece.

I have had to do this for a few Convention Art pieces and I have been impressed by the outcomes, for the most part.
