I know nobody cares except us, but the plot is thickening with the Book of Air RP I'm in, and it's a lot of fun. I just wanted to share that.

Book Of Air Poster Flats

Onto something more of you will care about...

( Cosplay Etc )

I think I'm going to take a cosplay props break tonight to read, participate in the RP (it's my turn next), and hopefully get a sketch or two online.

---

Upcoming events?
- Bianca's going away party on Thursday night, which honestly, I probably won't make. I've been burning the candle at both ends lately.
- Anime Conji Artist Alley/Dealer's Hall organizer one-on-one get our paperwork hashed out meeting (probably this weekend sometime).
- Anime Conji general staff meeting. Aug 15th, 3pm. (Someone wanting to be my AA minion assistant may be coming. Likely she'll be minion for both Barrie and I.)
- Mom & Richard visit in San Diego, Aug 22.
- My SoCali cosplay crew girls-day-out at DisneyLand, Sat. Aug 28.
- Fly out for D*Con, Weds Sept 1st 10:10pm--arrive ATL, Sept 2 11:52am.

I have not been sleeping properly lately. It is wearing on me.

Okay. Still trying to get back into the art groove. (I want to get back drawing Schwane Zwei, CotND, and Gwarchiedwad.)

So I'm opening sketch requests again. Sketch requests are going to be like what you just saw that I just finished for the Slayers Friending Meme. This is pretty much first-come first-serve, but if you just got a sketch in the friending meme, there's a small risk that you might get bumped for someone I have not done a sketch for in a while. I'd say don't let that hold you back from making a new request though. The last time I did something like this with 10 slots, it never filled up.

Request Rules!

1. You must specify the fandom and character(s) you want.
   
2. You must specify some sort of prompt. A single word or a 1~2 sentence idea of what you want to see.
   
3. Max of two characters per sketch.
   
4. One sketch per person.
   
5. Keep it PG-13.
   
6. Please don't make it overly complicated. I'm really just not that good.
   
7. [Temporary(?) Rule] This is currently limited to the following fandoms: Slayers, Princess Tutu, Gurren Lagaan, Avatar:TLA**, Rayearth, InuYasha, Gunparade March, FFVII~X, FMA, Utena, Chrno Crusade, Kenshin, Hikaru no Go, Full Metal Panic, Ouran High School Host Club, Hana Kimi, Skip Beat, Library Wars, Ghost Hunt, and of course--any of my original characters/series.
   

I'll open it up to any fandom if the list doesn't fill up. OR, if you have an idea from another fandom, try me anyways, I'm flexible. I just want to keep it limited to shows I'm actually familar with. I'm trying to get back in the swing of drawing after extended breaks due to problems with my right hand; I'm not looking for major challenges or curve balls.
Also, in 12~24 hours or so I will open this up to people outside my FL, and post the offer to a couple of comms. OPENED UP.
**With Avatar, I have NOT watched the ending yet, please do not spoil me. Firebending Masters is the farthest I've seen.

Max number of requests (for now) is 20.

Usernames and Requests:

1. coppeliad - Fakir & Ahiru [Princess Tutu] Prompt: "PTT role reversal: Fakir as a duck and Ahiru as a knight!" - Filled

Her long purple hair was loose, and her green eyes sparkled above exotic dark cheekbones. She stood there with her shoulders back, no trace of the self-effacing slouch that Anshii had carried as the Rose Bride. Juri had always thought well of herself in a mirror, but compared to the regal appearance of Anshii... "It’s little wonder they hated you.""
   
6. koneko - Saito/Louise ♥ [Zero No Tsukamia] Prompt: "You can just keep it simple; they can be cuddling or holding hands... and you can have Louise out of her cloak too, if you want!"

10. shibamura_prime - Optimus Prima [Transformers] Prompt: "Need I say it? PRIMA. Being all happy and/or badass would be keen. Think of Abby when you draw her. I always do. ^_~"
    
11. serika_san - Fakir/Ahiru [Princess Tutu] Prompt: "I always thought it'd be cute although very corny for Fakir and Ahiru to share a milkshake with the two straws in the one glass thing."

14. tomoyoichijouji - Siegfried & Utena [Princess Tutu & Utena] Prompt: "As Prince Siegfried and Utena said goodbye, they clasped their hands in fellowship. Mytho said, 'I know that a fallen prince told you that a young woman like you couldn't be a prince. But I believe you truly have the heart of one.' I think those two might have a great camaraderie. ^_^"
    
15. ShireKat - Fakir/Ahiru [Princess Tutu] Prompt: "Something funny/silly please, with Fakir/Ahiru pairing. Oh, and please include some awkwardness on Fakir and/or Ahiru's part ('cause that's what makes them so cute)."

19. jadet_chan - Sousuke & Chidori [Full Metal Panic] Prompt: "They're reading/studying and Sousuke has dozed off. Maybe Chidori looking over at him bemused/fondly?"
    
20. selphish - Sousuke & Chidori [Full Metal Panic] Prompt: "Halloween"
    

Requests now full. We have a couple of repeat requestors from the Slayers meme, so any additional requests would be bumping them. (As may be obvious by now, all comments here are being screened.)
Although, as eveshka is signed up as a trade for a writing a Lina/Zel fic for me, she cannot be bumped. Lina/Zel fic *joy* !

Give me a fandom, character/pairing, and a prompt and I'll draw you a doodle.

Addendum: I have the right to veto anything I know that I'm going to be incapable of drawing--but don't be afraid to ask me to write a pairing I don't ship! The only time I'll veto a request is when I doubt my ability to do your character/pairing/prompt justice.

Feel free to make more than one request.
Just be sure to choose something from a fandom I'm familiar with. :)

I'll work through these as quickly as possible. Becky needs to get her art groove back.

I just drew a Princess Tutu sketch comic on DA. I think my brain is all mush. It's 3am. I call a lack of sanity for having done that one. (You have to have a DA account to see it, there's partial nudity, so I set the mature filter to on.)

I've entered an online art contest to win Sting, the
sword from the Lord Of The Rings, and the way they
chose the winner is by the public casting votes. So
I need everyone's help. Please go vote for my entry,
and get as many of your friends as you can to do so as
well. Please?

Robert's party is today. Yay. I've not seen Rob in a while. Must take a photo. He's changed a good bit in the last year. At least his appearance has. He's still the same sweet guy that I absolutely adore. ^_^

I had something intelligent to say before, but I've forgotten it now.
I've updated my Sketchpad.

Wow. Is this guy insane, quirkie, or an extremist Otherkin? Hrm... I do wonder.

I've updated my online quotes collection... It's more quotes than any one could really need... heh.
