Hello! You're welcome and thank you, too. Sorry it took a while to get to you, this pre-Christmas season has ensured I haven't had the time to sit down and switch on the laptop. But I'm well, thank you for asking - early mornings are worth it when I get to walk through the snowy scenery. ^__^ How are you?

Don't worry about it! You're from Finland, right? I believe it must be very pretty there! I would love to take a walk in Finland in winter scenery too~

I'm recently occupied with both univeristy stuff and preparations for Christmas, but except this I'm fine, thanks! Although I'm rather a night owl and I draw a lot when people usually do sleep.

I absolutely love your art The colours and the lighting effects are amazing.

Could you possibly draw something for me? I can turn it into a commission if you like.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Dalandel In reply to Mezame9 [2015-07-30 01:09:48 +0000 UTC]

Oooh thank you so much! You put a huge smile on my face!

Well, I do not think my skill level is quite yet there to take commissions, but surely I can draw something for you if it is something I can feel I can do reasonably well! However it might take time since my real life can be a little hectic. You are the first person to ask me to draw something here so if I can, I will try to fulfill your request. So yes, drop me a comment or note with whatever you would like to see, and I shall see what I can do. <3

Mezame9 In reply to Dalandel [2015-07-30 01:36:03 +0000 UTC]

Not ready? You must be joking XD But seriously, if you think so then that's up to you

Alright, do you think you could draw a gothic lady holding a black rose?
She's a character of mine and she has a talisman called a Death Daisy in the form of a black rose that glows a teal light. I'll give you some more information about what she looks like if you'd be interested.
She's a young witch no stranger to fantasy.

Dalandel In reply to Mezame9 [2015-07-30 01:53:20 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well, thing is poses are not my strong field, it is faces I draw reasonably well compared to my other level of skill and I have no formal training whatsoever (you might notice I mostly avoid drawing hands like plague XD).
If you do not mind this and are willing to give me a chance even if it might take me time (I am unsure how long) and some more references I could give it a try. I am not selling myself short, merely being realistic with what I can do.
Gothic things are close to my heart so that is good!

Mezame9 In reply to Dalandel [2015-07-30 01:59:15 +0000 UTC]

The pose isn't that important, just so long as she's holding the rose I know how tricky hands are to draw XD (But I'm improving greatly since I started drawing Dr Facilier).

I'd love to see you have a go I love it when people draw her, but it would be fascinating for me to see her drawn by you, no matter how well or badly it goes XD

Would you like to see what Charlie looks like? I can give you references if it would help
She has short straight black hair that covers the right side of her face and a spiderweb painted across her left eye.

Dalandel In reply to Mezame9 [2015-07-30 02:07:47 +0000 UTC]

Alright!
And yes, hands, feet, perspective... once in a while I seem to manage them by accident, haha. I have only been drawing about two years and had the tablet for the past year or so, the progress is coming in small and bigger leaps but I am usually too comfortable sticking to what I already can do okay.

Yes please to references if you could give me some. I will save them and see what I can do.

Mezame9 In reply to Dalandel [2015-07-30 02:14:27 +0000 UTC]

That's perfectly alright, if sticking to what you know makes you comfortable drawing her then by all means

References that might help you
Charlie Col
My Doll
For Mezame
Charlie being classy.
She has very pale skin and could she have her eyes closed? I just think it would reflect her personality. But you don't have to, you can draw her how you like

Dalandel In reply to Mezame9 [2015-07-30 02:21:31 +0000 UTC]

Certainly she can have her eyes closed. How old is she?
I take it you would like to see strong colours and light and so.
I might drop you some more questions when I begin and have some progress, if you don't mind.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mezame9 In reply to Dalandel [2015-07-30 02:23:33 +0000 UTC]

She is 22 years of age

Yes please I love the way you colour, that's what attracted me to your art in the first place. She wears a lot of black and blue. Her rose glows teal so the colour and light would probably be important.

That's perfectly fine You can ask me anything you need.
