X-mas list- PLEASE READ

Tue Oct 3, 2006, 4:28 AM

OKAY. So that I don't get bogged down with art I need to draw for people for christmas this year, I'm going to set up a system kind of like the ones Jenn and Wiseman used last year (I'll put up a list of friends and aquaintances that can choose a character for me to include in my x-mas picture and those people can leave a comment on this journal entry with a link to a reference). The pictures will all be headshots (kind of like that icon page I posted a while ago).
ALSO, if you think you are supposed to be on this list and aren't just comment and yell at me. You probably are. XD
The reason this is being posted so early is so that I'll actually do it in time for christmas (I'll post the pictures up in december). I'll be finishing the art on my "to-do" list first, of course.

Artists who can pick a character:

This is a super-cute idea - timesaving and conventient. Do you mind if I copy you?

~stitchedmoon Oct 3, 2006, 11:07:00 AM

Wow, that's such a neat idea!

I'll have to think of a character now ... it'll probably be Lily Reed (this is rather an old sketch of her, but it's the best I have), but I'll get back to you when I know for sure. Thanks so much for including me on the list!

This is my signature.

No, not at all.

I copied a couple of other people I know who did this last year anyway.

*backflips* Wheeeeee, I'm on the list! Could you draw my Ducky boy? I'll have a ref for him up sometime soon.

*megalithic Oct 5, 2006, 3:12:58 AM

Just paste the link here when it's uploaded.

oooo! This one should be ann interesting challenge. XD I'll probably make this one a full body given that I headshot wouldn't capture the full effect/design. ^^

o.o Her design is so intricate! I think she'll be a lot of fun to draw. What are her colours?

Hehe, sorry about that ...

It doesn't have to be complicated; you can definitely give her any clothes you want, or whatever.

As for the colouring ... her hair is kind of a grey-brown colour, kind of raggedy looking ... the moth wings are blue-green like a luna moth's, with brown and orange circles. Her skin is kind of pale, and she tends to wear tattered, mismatched, and ill-fitting clothes. I guess her eyes can be any colour you want, I've never actually bothered to colour them.

*kicks self*

Here's another picture: [link] ... and a slightly different version: [link] (In the latter, she's the brown-haired girl hugging Aya.

) It doesn't have to be exactly like any of those, but that's sort of the general idea. Even I never draw her consistently (not exactly my strong suit, hehe), so feel free to add your own interpretation. I'll love whatever you draw, so anything's cool.
