This is such an elegant piece. I love the gentle colors in the dress. The red ribbon is a beautiful touch. The tones in her skin are beautiful as well.
Her hair has a wonderful flow to it, it's so natural.
Overall, I love this. It's so emotional, fluid and beautiful

AHH ARE YOU A NSN FAN AS WELL? :]
Dude im gonna see him live in October
-excited as hell-

Thank youuuu~!

oh my gosh, YES I AM!
i'm seeing him on the ninth! i am so pumped, it'll be my second time seeing him.
just as a forewarning though, i don't think he ever comes out after shows to meet fans. if he does, it's incredibly rare because i've never heard any stories of meeting him. at the maine/nevershoutnever concert, the maine was out for about 2 hours, and me and my friends were talking to them the whole time, and when we left a little after midnight a bunch of people were still waiting outside his bus, and he had never come out.
just saying, though; maybe he's changed since a year ago.
and sure! i've followed your art for a while now, and it's wonderful to see how much you grown and the skills you've acquired. :>

Oh wow, I'm so jealous you already saw him! This will be my first time. But ahh, I'm so scared about that! 
But yeah, I'm terrified of that happening either way. I've literally been counting down the days until I get to meet him! lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh! well, who knows!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah ahhh I'm SO nervous I've never met a celebrity before! But yeah I'm planning to *try* to talk to him totally normally and not freak out and scare him haha. But yeah I'm so terrified that I won't be able to see him and give him the picture! So fingers crossed he's in a people-meeting mood that night...
by the way! Assuming you're gonna attempt to meet him at the October 9th show, you should definitely tell me how it goes and if you had any trouble finding him or anything! Since I wont be seeing him til the 20th. It will give me an idea of what I should expect lol! But yeah thats assuming you were gonna try to meet him
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i am going to that show! me and my friends had always assumed he never came out afterwards, but we're staying after to meet a rocket to the moon, so i will most certainly see if he comes out, and tell you all about it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AHHH a rocket to the moon will be there too?!? I wonder if they're opening for him in MD too! I hope so! I'm not sure who's opening this show yet. But yeah omg definitely tell me how it goes! Like I said I've never met someone after a show so I'm not really sure where to go to find them and talk to them and stuff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep! they're with him on this tour, and one other artist that escapes me at the moment.
and what you want to do is head to the side of the venue where all the buses are parked. they go in those to freshen up, and then come out afterwards. or they'll come right out from backstage, since where the buses are parked is where the backstage usually lets out since they have to reload all of their equipment.

Ahh okay thanks! I also have VIP tickets so I'm not sure if that will make a difference in guaranteeing I get to meet him? Btw I also feel like it would be so crowded with fans it would be impossible to actually talk to him o__o how did you possibly get through to talk to the maine? or do most of the fans leave after the concert ends???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
o yeah, i'm sure those'll help! how did you go about getting those by the way? i can never seem to snag VIPs to any of the shows i've been to.
the trick is to leave just a few songs before the main stage act ends. even after that, it doesn't become that crowded - the fans are so dispersed throughout all the band members.
the guy with the longest line was of course john oh, but i only had to wait behind maybe 6 people to talk to jared, and i actually met kennedy and pat just after they came out, i was really lucky there. garrett there was a mob around, so i waited for him a bit, but it was completely worth it the signing he did for my book was too precious and it took him like ten minutes to come up with it, all the other girls were getting moody. :>
john had a very very long line, because he is the front man, but that was maybe a fifteen minute wait.
since cdrew is the main guy, leave just before he finishes his set, and you'll probably be able to talk to the other bands that opened for him while you wait around. then chill outside his bus for a little while, that's probably your best bet. since he's a one-man act, you're going to have to wait a while to talk to him, while the crowd comes and goes. just be patient and don't be nervous about talking to him. stay polite to the people around you, but if you see an opening for you to talk to him, DO IT. just don't straight-up cut people, that's just awful.
just stay patient, kind, positive, and courteous! :>

Oh also I just realized I didn't answer your part about how I got VIP tickets! I'm not sure about your show, but for mine it had two options "General" or "VIP" and you could choose when you were buying them (though VIP were more of course >__< ). Also, this is kind of odd, but I actually bought the tickets like 2-3 weeks after they originally went on sale o__o and both General AND VIP tickets were still left! And I checked just now out of curiosity and they're still both left! Weird it didn't sell out the day of o_O

Ahh thank you so much!
Also he's not a one-man band anymore! He actually turned NSN into a full band. That's why his new CD is SOOOO different. It's full on rock, not the old acoustic stuff he was doing before (and I preferred the raw acoustic stuff, but the new stuff is good too just in such a different way!).
About how much time did you actually get to talk to them (especially the main guy?) Just curious
But yeah thanks for all the tips!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh! yes, i do remember him talking about that. yeah, i prefer his old stuff too, but Harmony is a good album!
i got to talk to john for about 1 minute and a half because i asked him a question and he signed my book with his answer, and i also had him say hello to my friend through a video. he was completely courteous, and you don't feel rushed at all; all the guys (in the maine at least) are really genuine and want to talk to you for as long as they can manage. jared i was able to talk to for a while longer, just because he didn't have so many people around him, and just before i left i actually stole another hug from him. kennedy and pat i was around for about 5 minutes, since they were right next to each other and i was about the first to approach them. both incredibly sweet and they signed my boos, and i told them thank you and how wonderful they are - mostly my conversations with band people have just consisted of me showering them with compliments. garrett took about 10 minutes to sign my book which was so awesome so i was around him for the longest.
you can really talk to them for a few minutes, and just judge the energy of the fans around you. those few minutes are very fulfilling though because the band members are so genuinely interested in what you have to say. you don't feel rushed or anything .
and you are SO WELCOME. i love talking about band experiences, especially the maine because they're my life. i could talk about them for hours.
AND REALLY? because everytime i check, it's always "general" and "general" but there's one general that costs a little bit more. what website do you get your tickets from? livenation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I got them through the NSN site which took me to "Artist Arena". Both tickets were "general admission" aka no seating, but one was VIP where as one was called something else like "regular" or something along those lines. VIP was quite a bit more than general x__x hah. It also had an explanation of what VIP included, which was early entry to their soundcheck as well as signed merchandise and some more stuff.
And ahh okay I'm really so excited.
This is gonna sound silly, because I know they talk to soo many people, but I want him to remember me somehow, so I wanna stick out in some way 
I've actually never heard anything by the Maine, but I know who they are because a few years ago my high school won a contest and they were supposed to come play a concert at my high school. And then they NEVER CAME! SO many kids were upset hahahaha. They apologized though... hahah.
