And I can't wait for this picture, Michael!

Speaking of which, I have a picture of Virtue up on Deviantart.com if anyone wants the link just ask :3

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

i have the picture, the camera here just has a really low battery, so i couldn't upload it. but i will today.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

okay, i honestly think it will be tonight, or tomorrow at the latest. sorry about the delay, the camera kind of crapped out.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

yeah. i'll have to use a different computer, possibly. but i'll find a way to do that.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

http://www.goodreads.com/photo/group/... it's finally done.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

thank you. the photocopy is pretty bad, but the sketch itself is pretty good. like i said, i'm proud of Virtue, Adrian and Acacia. the others are okay.

Brilliant Michael!

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

taren's face looks not quite like i imagine him, but i'm fairly satisfied with the result. the faces seem to lack depth, but that will come with practice.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

thank you :D

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

thank you. i thought he looked like a mischievous kid rather than a dark and brooding man, but i like him.

[Just Plain Ray]

I love the picture, Mike!

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

thank you :D

Has she met avenger yet?

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

no, i don't know how they would feel about each other either. i don't see them getting along too well. they're both crafty and manipulative.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

sounds reasonable. at the moment i am at a loss as to what i think should happen. lol, not enough sleep recently.

[[deleted user]]

I don't see the reason as to why acacia would want to give calahir to avenger though.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

Is there anything anyone wants drawn, hopefully relating to the story? I'm trying to expand my style (I will be taking an art class soon, and could use some practice), and I would be really excited about illustrating key points in this story. So please, either post here or PM me, and I will probably be glad to try it.

Draw Garth. And a detailed marker. I'd like to see you extend your limits to complex landscape just for the fun of your imagination.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

haha, I'll try. I can probably do the marker relatively easily. What does Garth look like?

Wow, I must really seem like a group stalker, but I got to the page and it had apparently just been updated. Heh, awesome.

[Just Plain Ray]

Oooh, not to steal ideas or anything, but I'm in an artistic mood as well. I'm kinda leaning towards characters, tho? like close-ups.

I'm in the mood to draw one of the males (I need to get practice on that)...any ideas?

[[deleted user]]

You have Adrian, Calahir, Virtue, or Taren. Take your pick.

[Just Plain Ray]

I've already drawn Virtue a couple of times so...Hmm, I should put the names in a hat.

[[deleted user]]

Go for it.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

Heh... something about putting their names in a hat is really funny to me.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

Behold, Kataury, your marker post! Muahaha!

[image error]

[[deleted user]]

Ingenious! Well Done Michael. And you have really nice handwriting, I can't read my own handwriting... which is really bad when I need to actually be able to read them.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

Thanks. I'm relatively happy with how the illustrations came out. It looks like some sort of... I don't know. It came out alright. I may have to re do the circles around it on the ground.

[[deleted user]]

Did you add this to the group photos?

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

I just did.

[[deleted user]]

Great, we need to keep record of everything on here.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

Keep records? How so? An archive of the stories?

[[deleted user]]

You never know when you could use ideas like this. It could come in handy once in a while.

[[deleted user]]

oh, and post 100!! Bahaha

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

Kataury, you seem to have lost me. I am really tired right now. Such as keeping story ideas in here? Or sketches of things?

[[deleted user]]

eh... nevermind, I'll emphasize later when I'm also not dead on my feet. I still have to finish several things... ugh.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

Ugh. I empathize. I think it's just expected of us as students... to be constantly acting. haha.

[[deleted user]]

Agreed... I hate pre calc.... -_-

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

What grade are you in right now, Kataury?

[[deleted user]]

eh... I'm a sophomore in all honesty. You?

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

I'm doing 10th grade work at the moment, so I suppose I'm also a sophomore. Though I'm homeschooled... so it's kind of a blur. Haha.

[[deleted user]]

Homeschool eh? Have you always been homeschooled?

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

I was in a school (Rochester School of the Arts) for a few months last year, but it just didn't work out. So I'm back here. I'm taking a class or two at a community college to add to my education where my parents can't cover it.

[[deleted user]]

How interesting... You still have to follow the basic curriculum right? Or is can you go about any fundamentals so long as you're learning what needs to be learned?

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

It's... looser than your first option, and slightly stricter than the second, though it certainly leans towards the latter. The school district tells us what we have to learn by the end of the school year, and we can learn that in any way we see fit.

[[deleted user]]

That's pretty nice. I don't mind going to school, I just also find it frustrating to have to work on subjects that don't need a lot of time but you waste it anyway on learning about it. But I suppose I do like the simple routine method to keep some order in my life.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

I enjoyed both sides, to an extent. Eventually, I found that I functioned far better with relative autonomy, but working with many peers and having a regular schedule was nice as well. There's some schedule here, but not that same certainty.

[Michael, Illustrator. (Seriously, I'm happy to do commissions.)]

Also. To all members of this group... thanks for just being awesome. It's uncommon to find so many cool people who are also skilled writers. This really is the only real reason I get on goodreads anymore... So thanks, all!
