Sort of. I do requests, with the understanding that I'll get to the pic when I get to it. Sometimes that could mean the same week or it could be a year later, depends on how busy I am and the mood I'm in. If you're still interested, send me a note.

Hi. I wanted to ask you to do an illustration or two for any of my fics you like - they can be found here - [link]
Look through (my fics are short, so reading won't take much time) and if you are interested in anything, tell me.
Thanks,
Annie

*flying tackle* It came out so wonder, thank you!

Right, the background was a pain. >_> I find drawing people tons more interesting so... backgrounds are boring. Arg, I don't know color! All this damn time and I still have no confidence in it. But I did learn a bit about making skin look more realistic by having texture, so I guess I learned from this. And I admit it looks lots better than my earlier coloring attempts... I hope. XD

Thanks again luv, he came out so beautiful and really reflects your creativity. *cuddles dragon boy*

Oh dear, you really do know color! But sometimes we don't have the patience for it, I certainly don't X3. Your people just keep getting better and better, and the inclusion of background marks a growth, even if you don't use it that often. At least you know (and your admirers know) that you're more than capable of doing it.

Love and kisses for V-day !

Thanks, I worked extra hard on the skin.

Well, actually I buried my mom on Valentine's Day so needless to say it puts a damper on my mood. Luckily I never really cared much about the holiday to begin with... except for the chocolate. ^^

And yeah chocolate is definatley the best thing about Valentine's day.
Its just too bad I couldn't have any this year, because I gave up candy for Lent.

*major huggle glompage* Thanks for the sweet comments and no you can't spell but I still love you. I'm glad I can inspire you and bug the shit outta you at the same time it means I'm improving. Good luck with your Spanish test. I use to love Spanish then I got this crappy teacher for two years in a row and I now refuse to speak it. Bad teachers ruin everything. =_=

I'm sorry you get dumped on Valentine's Day, bunch of idiots. Earthlings just don't know how to treat a plutonian right. Those Martians on the other hand... ^___^

Thanks for the lovely comments. Yeah, I've been stuck in my own little world trying to write my way free so I haven't been drawing. It's a relief to realize that you don't really forget how to draw once you learn, or I'd be in trouble.

I'm sorry about your friend. I think it's worst when tragedy falls on a holiday because all the media and advertisments and everone around you are talking for days about the day and all you can think about is your own loss instead of what the holiday means to everyone else. At least you have your kitten to cheer up the day for you. ^^

ubber loves to you m'friend.. and extra tight hugs to you on this day... I hope that despite the heartache... this was a worthwhile day...

As for my kitten and my friend... hai.. Velcro is my saving grace on April 1st... without him... i might do nothing but cry...

I do anyway.. but only until my little baby curls up in my lap, purrin, and fills that hallow in my heart... I tresure him so much....

just as i treasure my friends.. like you..

Gods, now you've got me crying. I swear sometimes animals are soft and cuddly just so they can help comfort their human friends. Probably why I love to burrow my face into my dog's fur. I spent a lot of time with my family and saw my bro so it just kinda put things in perspective a bit and lessened the sorrow. 'course it feels good to be away from them now and not have to put up a strong face for eveyone and just let myself feel sad too. Thanks for the kind words luv, it means a lot.

Of course.. I'm always happy to be here for those I care about... I can more then understand V-day being especially hard for you.. it was for me too this year....

I got really sick.. so that naturally sucks... I didn't get to see ANY of my friends, and I found out that my mate spent the day in the ER..... shite... not to mentions.. I seemed to have been left out of his V-day wishes for some reason... -pouts- that really stung actually...

Anyway..., yeh.... my three babies are my tree pets, Anubis (( or Nubie)), my puppy... and Velcro and Moloko, my kittens.... I love them each so much.. I don't know what I'd do without them... because when I don't have my friends around... I have them.. and it makes all the difference...

but... it is good to know that i have people such as your lovely self that i can talk to about sad subjects like this and find comfort and enlightenment in it...

thank you....

I'm sorry about your crappy V-day. There's probably some club for crappy V-Day experiances. People always have such high expectations for that day.

Wah, you have the best names for your pets! My dog's name is Lassie and my rabbit is BrownEyes - My brother named them both I refrain from commenting because I love my pets so much. My dog is just my light and it kills me 'cause she's getting on in years. I can't understand people who can think that you can just go out and *replace* a pet, but maybe they don't allow themselves to grow attached.

Yeah, it is cool to be able to chat about this stuff. If anthing, it helps to focus our thoughts on how we're really fealing, no matter how sucky that may be. Lol, I don't even have to pay for a shrink.

Thanks. My fav pair is Draco/Harry. It's so hard drawing something in an anime style after a real life movie comes out because everyone recognizes the characters in a set way now. I mean, I even got their robes from the movie and it's recognized because of it. If I drew the clothes differently I bet people would have been complaing they weren't accurate. XD

Sorry 'bout your dad. Winter is already a depressing time of the year, it's easy to get lost in bad feelings. Blah, even after four years I still get depressed over it, my mom died of cancer over a long period of time, but I suppose that's how life works. I guess it would be foolish to think it would completely fade, scars never do. *sends huggles and strength*

morosemordant In reply to GabrielleKelly [2005-02-15 04:15:23 +0000 UTC]

I understand what you mean about the movies corrupting people. "I used to draw harry's scar in the middle of his forehead like it says in the books, but I got chewed out by a few people and just thought it easier to just follow the movies.

Im sorry about your mom, that must have been really hard to deal with. And yes loss is like scars they never go away but at some point in your life you can look at them and remember the better part of it, like 'this is when I first rode a bike' or ' they were awesome because...' some scars are dark and some are light in meaning to those that carry them but they always help to remember. I think I went and rambled again, oh well if anything I said made sense its a miracle. I wish you luck in life.

Nah, it's not rambling if it has a point. Thanks. Yeah no matter how much it hurts I wouldn't want to forget her. I find myself thinking of the worst memories sometimes of when I was going through the teenage phase and for all intents and purposes we hated eachother, or just resentment of her dying and leaving so selfishly... but there's also the good memories or just the normal everyday things that I took for granted until she was gone. Ah, sorry. Getting all nostalgic. But yeah, I wouldn't want to forget like all the other sad things in life 'cause they're parts of what defines me now.

That's funny about the scar. When I was going to draw this pic --> [link] I was going to draw the scar in the center of his forehead (screw the movies) but I wasn't sure if I had just imagined that's where it was suppose to be because I was so influenced by the movie. Although from an artistic point of view I kinda like it to the side with the A-symmetry. When I saw the first movie for the first time I was so hung up on how all the Dursleys had dark hair. I almost stopped the DVD because of it. ^^' But I'm a little lame... just a little...

morosemordant In reply to GabrielleKelly [2005-02-15 04:54:45 +0000 UTC]

About the Dursleys, I was really angry they all had dark hair, they were supposed to have light hair so they could be compaired to the malfoys. They are basically the same except they are muggle bigots whilst the malfoys are wizarding bigots. nice pic btw.

I understand about the bad moments. My dad was probably one of the worst dads on the face of the earth but there were some good things he did on occasion. I have trouble with remembering everything because I was young when eveyrthing happened and I have post traumatic stress disorder which includes lack of certain stressful memories. But remembering is good for the most part, its a part of healing and greiving.

GabrielleKelly In reply to morosemordant [2005-02-19 18:44:04 +0000 UTC]

I never really thought about that, the Dursleys and Malfoys... well I thought about it but never actually connected them. They're both prissy, sneering arrogant families with *blonde* hair who hate everyone/thing that isn't like them. I have the feeling I'm going to be going through the books looking for symbolism and hidden meanings now. ^^

Bleh, I can relate to the crappy childhood. I was lucky/unlucky enough to be placed in foster care when I was young. Obviously caused other probs >_> It infuriates me really that children are treated the way they are sometimes. I mean, your youngest years forge you, it's not until your older that you have a concious choice as to what kind of person you are and how you deal with things. It's just really depressing to know that so many are suffering and that adults would exploit their power over kids. Really, all you want as a child is unconditional love, why is that so difficult for people to give? Sorry, I'm getting all ranty. The world is painful, I guess all we can do is deal.
