Description
Well, this one was a request, and is this morning's work. After I posted Malm in Blue and Purple Raven, I got a stack of requests and commissions, which is kind of nice.I first posted her this morning as a Deviation, changed my mind and moved her to Scraps and then changed my mind again and moved her back when I found someone had favourited her... just couldn't make up my mind, I guess.
Anyway, as I say, this was requested. It's American teeny-bop pop and television star Miley Cyrus. She's the superstar darling of the pre-teen girl crowd, and her face appears on all the teen magazines. She has a really funny televsion program on Disney Channel, and I understand her father is a "Country" musician.
This painting is a gift for one of her fans, and is 9" by 12". Since it's FanArt, I can't charge for it, but we'll work something out.

Thank you very much! I really enjoy that show - they had a marathon on Disney yesterday, and we all sat around watching it!

Thank you very much! I was kind of proud of this one - I think Miley Cyrus is a hilarious young lady, so it was a pleasure to paint. I really appreciate the encouragement!

I noticed that you had commented, but that was after I'd already chucked it into Scraps, so I couldn't reply. I felt really bad about it - that's the kind of thing that keeps me up nights. Yeah, she's a little cutey, and it's interesting you mention Bynes. They are very much alike in their sense of humour and silliness.

If someone comments on a deviation and it gets torn down or moved, there's no "place" for a reply to go, because the deviation number changes or is removed. Basically, there's no webpage for the reply to go to. Sad...

But why did you move it to your Scraps? It's back into your gallery innit?

theancientofdays In reply to Frouwke [2007-02-07 16:24:58 +0000 UTC]
I moved it to scraps because a) it was a different style from the two already up, so it looked odd on my page and b) it was kind of embarrassing. I like the show and all, but I'm not going to paint Miley Cyrus unless somebody asks for it. But then I thought again, and said, "Oh, who cares, anyway? It's good and I want people to see it." So I moved it back. I tend to overthink these things...

Aw, thansk very much! I was a bit worried her eyebrows weren't quite bushy enough! She's a cute kid, but she really looks like she's got a couple of caterpillars crawling across her forehead. (I really hope she never sees that...) XD
Well, I can't charge for FanArt, so I'm just going to ask for a trip to Scotland. Or Australia. I haven't decided. JK.
Hey, you added her to your favourites! Thanks!

Btw...Would you call this painting reasonably priced?...

She does have odd teeth for an American. On this painting, that was the hardest part - good teeth are a lot easier to paint.
I think my 9" by 12" (23cm by 31cm) single-colour portraits usually sell for about 40 Pounds, but I've been told I need to raise that up a bit. I'm just a little uncomfortable charging people much more than 20 Pounds an hour, unless it's skilled work, like the Asian stuff. I'll probably start charging about 60 Pounds apiece for paintings like this before long.

She was on "All That" before she had her own show, and it was great, too. You're right - it was a lot like MadTV.

I am a firm believer in escapist fantasy television. She's on a show called Hannah Montana, about a girl who disguises her identity as a popstar while she's in school. It's a stupid premise, but the characters are really funny...
Thanks very much - hair isn't easy in watercolour.

I thought she was from Hannah Montana. I've never seen the show, just the commercials, but I remembered you speaking of the show a while ago.. And so I had a sneaking suspicion that that was it..

theancientofdays In reply to Cool-Vin [2007-02-05 09:41:52 +0000 UTC]
I think you'd be hard-pressed to understand her if you saw the show, which may be why it doesn't play well in other markets. She speaks in a very heavy southern American twang that's a bit hard to follow if you're not familiar with it.

This would definitely fall into that category. I just don't think very many non-Americans would understand the lingo and certainly not the accents.

Well, it's not that annoying. Sure, it's goofy, but it's just wholesome silliness. I understand how one might think the show gets on their nerves, though.
Thanks! Just a fun little thing as a gift for a little kid.

It also just sort of makes me mad because, my GOD! That on the DISNEY CHANNEL? Disney's a total cop-out nowadays. I heard that they were even planning on ditching 2D animation films altogether, which totally broke my heart. D:

They'd be making a horrible mistake in getting rid of their 2D. That's how Disney got their start in the first place! It's what they're known for! I can just hear the ghost of Walt, slapping people on the noggin...

Thanks! She's in that "Steve Irwin" green that was so popular last fall! I felt I ought to turn on the "Discourage Criticism" sign because I figured I'd really catch it from folks for posting something like this...
I imagine the little girl I painted it for will be happy with it, though.
