I don't know. My mom hasn't (and probably won't) assigned a due date. I wish to get it done before Christmas vacation, though.

2. I like people to be very specific when they commission me to do things. You would have to tell me exactly what you want, otherwise I'll just sit there stumped.

OH. *thinks like Pooh* I can try!

So yeah. It's up to you really.

Gotcha. *cogitates* I'll get back to you on that.

Oh, and BTW, it's r-a-c-h-e-l-l-e. r-a-c-h-a-e-l is Skeeter's GF. I think.

Rachael, Rachelle- same thing. *blushes*

Hey, I want you to illustrate this poem for sure:

"Time", by SarahThe Guitarist
Time is expensive -
not like a handful of
precious, polished jewels,
but like a gently curved,
glassy surfaced vase.

And when I am cheap,
fragmented and worthless,
when I have nothing
to fill my vessel with with,
I am content to launch it
against the wall,
colorful and shattering.

Do you think there is enough imagery in there for you to come up with something?

G'day folks.

Here's a progress photograph of a rather large portrait of my mum. It's a bit larger than A2 size, and is rendered with pastels and colour pencils.

I think that perhaps I could. I may be able to draw something for you in a few weeks, if you don't mind waiting.

I don't mind waiting!

Struth!
It doesn't need saying, but that's bloody amazing.

Another progress shot- I've now done a bit of the background and filled in the hair:

Dude. That's amazingly cool.

Meggie moo moo · 08-29-2007, 04:39 PM

Thanks.

I feel like a dog being patted.

If you don't want to feel like that, stop being so wicked good at this.

Exactly

Being stroked is a good feeling.

This is what the drawing looks like now:

It's not a very good photograph, sorry.

SecretAgentRat · 09-21-2007, 04:52 PM

Wow. Just wow.

How far from completion is it?

Her arm (that's an arm and not some kind of branch or something, right?) looks a little too skinny for her body. Other than that, it's beautifully done. Those flowers are absolutely incredible.
