Well, so far I’ve had three requests for drawings. Fire was the first, and is done. Atari has requested a pair of lounging cigarette-girl zombie women for his web site. Those two have to wait though, until he gets his hard drive back up. Amanda has requested a PSME Alice, but she’ll be set in Wonderland. I know what I’ll do for her though. She’ll be in a rose garden with a flamingo tucked under her arm. Amanda has requested that I use photos with the drawings, so Alice will be drawn, but the roses will be a photo. The Alice will probably look a bit more anime (larger eyes) than I normally do, just to get the PSME idea across. I want to include some really colorful and magical butterflies too.
I am so excited about the Air and Water drawings. I’m just hoping someone will ask for them so I get to do them soon. I also want to do Day and Night. I’m very excited over the Alice picture, and the Schlockettes will prove to be quite a challenge, since I’ve never done the zombie thing. I think I’ll keep doing the commission thing even after I’ve gotten my camera. I used to hate it, but doing this has already given me the opportunity to do some drawings that I wouldn’t normally do. It’s really proving to be interesting, as well as an exercise in art.
I went to see my mom this weekend. She lives a bit more north than here, so the drive in the rain wasn’t fun at all. I dragged John with me too, because my car is having steering problems. It may have a power steering fluid leak, or it could be my deflated tire, or it could be something much worse. I’m scared that my car will die, or the axle will suddenly pop off the underside of my car and go sailing down the road without me. Anyway, she has a new camera that she was playing around with. She got a few of me (the rest of which are in the Me album in the gallery). She even got one of me sleeping on the couch with my mouth hanging open while John did his homework.
I’ve also decided that I’m goign to do Arwen this year for Halloween. I’m either doing the Angel Dress, the Library and Bridge dress, or the Requiem Dress. I wanted to do the Dream Dress, but it would have been too cold, and the Blood Red Dress would have killed me on work. I just have to find some decent ears and an evenstar pendant. I’m letting my hair grow out as well, so my October it’ll be about waist length. It should be long enough to do Arwen very nicely if I make it wavy. The October after this one is going to be a Geisha (yes, I’m a dork for planning out my costumes, but I love costumes!), so if anyone has a long Kimono lying about that they’d like to get rid of, let me know.
