    Again - You probably have more than enough to do - but this would be so cool for DH's birthday on the 30th! If you could do anything for me - any pose - that would be fantastic! You are so amazingly talented!

    omg, I want to play along!!!

    I think this is the first time I've posted a pic of J and I online. Hopefully he doesn't mind......

    Also posting the dress I currently love, even though I likely won't be wearing it (too expensive). Can you do dancing poses? I swing dance, and J has agreed to take lessons with me!

    Happy Friday everyone~ :)

    I need to get me down to the library for book 4 of the true blood series...urgh! But somehow I think that'd be even more unproductive than sitting here doodling. hehe.

    For MissE...your DH's head at that angle was crazy hard for me to draw, so I moved it. lol.

    Thanks for the support, guys! 

    In case you're wondering what I'm doing...(or rather, what I'm avoiding)..I'm making a mini-manga of how FI and I met to put in our program.

    http://wedcon.blogspot.com/2009/10/program-power-part-2.html

    But I hit a roadblock so I'm trying to get my mojo (or whatever you want to call it..) back by drawing things other than us.  And I must say, I'm totally inspired by everyone's way-cute couple pictures. :) 

    btw, it kind of irks for me to leave them all uncolored/unshaded..since they don't look complete... So if anyone wants to color them in, feel free!

    Here's for Krista:

    @emily - i dunno about dogs, haven't done many of them before. your pic is a little small, though.

    Below pic is for Layla, which was a lot of fun to draw! :)  Sorry I didn't get your tattoo in, the pic wasn't zoomed in enough for me to have been able to copy it.

    Hey, I bet you could sell these on Etsy, just e-files of them to be used on stuff...

    First off, your work is absolutely amazing.

    Second, any chance you'd like to do mine if you ever get bored/need more practice?? I tried and failed miserably at doing it myself last week, and would absolutely love it!!

    and @daydream - I don't think I could handle the pressure of etsy! Especially with the danger of ending up on the regretsy blog, lol..

    @daydream - Haha! I haven't worked on mine much...>.>" I have all the sketches done, I'm just too lazy to vector and shade them. I'm hoping to knock off another page this weekend though. Even if I must force myself!

    And @jingle - At this point I'm just going down the list when I have a spare hour or so..you can add yourself and I'll get to you at some point, eventually.

    do we get to see yours eventually? It's such a cool idea :) and such a unique DIY ~ my whole life I've had really artistic, talented friends, and I'm the girl who's like, "Oh, I can alphabatize that for you!" and "Do you need me to write a super complicated formula to calculate something in Excel? Because I can!" with like zero artistic creativity, hahaha... so I envy you ;)

    (don't get me wrong; I'm totally content with the set of skills/gifts I have ~ it would just be cool to have even more!)

    Oh my Goodness - you are soooo talented! I have been following for a while and just love your work - I espicially love Layla's and Lauralou's!

    So I decided to add on even though I know that you may not get to it and totally understand!

    I have attached a pic of the night we got engaged and my dress!

    Haha, I understand that feeling.  I used to draw a lot in high school with my friends, and then a few of them went to art college while I went to do a buttload of math for four years...To see how much their art improved while mine stayed more or less the same, it made me kind of sad. But then again, having a job is good. haha.

    I'm sure I'll post the pages up once I finish :)

    And you can totally get new skills! Just takes some practice, and a few good tutorials ;)

    Yay~ You're all so pretty :)

    By the way, for those of you I haven't drawn yet...I think I'm beginning to see evidence that I work better when I have a picture of a pose to follow, rather than going off the top of my head. So if you want to include a pose picture too, please do! I love action shots especially!

    If you have time for another (here are a few to choose from) ... !!!!! ... but no worries if you've run out of steam.

    It's incredibly cool that you're sharing your talent like this. I second the suggestion that you go live on Etsy!
