Description This here is a gift for Tsunade... er, I mean ~mudpaw .

Sometimes I get a random burst of generosity and do gift art for people, or in this case, a person I just met... but hopefully we'll become close DA friends. ^_^

She requested a bishie with black hair and gold eyes... hrm... I hope this works, still not sure how my "bishie" skills are doing...

I'm pretty happy with the coloring job on this, I tried to make it look like a portrait - hopefully I kinda succeeded. And yay for tiny details!

Aww.. totally fun my dear! Love the tiny details on the undershirt btw.. for some reason the buttons above his armbands are totally amusing me!

And dude.. we should totally do a trade sometime! Either short stories, poems, or photomanips.. it would just be a blast!

CrystallineEssence In reply to HiddenRelevance [2008-01-10 05:36:08 +0000 UTC]

Zomg why haven't we done that before? That's simply ridiculous! We should totally trade, what would you want? I wouldn't mind seeing a fiction short story... I have a few in mind, hehehe....

HiddenRelevance In reply to CrystallineEssence [2008-01-10 13:56:26 +0000 UTC]

I know right??? Tis crazy crazy..

Hmm I'm really up for anything! Wanna just give each other a "theme" and go from there?

And sure.. a short story sounds fine! Just give me a prompt! lol

That or ooooo.. wanna trade fairy tales? And do some kind of fun and dandy retelling there of?

CrystallineEssence In reply to HiddenRelevance [2008-01-13 05:13:20 +0000 UTC]

Ooo I like that idea, I'm totally into the whole fairy tale thing right now! Should we pick our own or pick one for each other?

HiddenRelevance In reply to CrystallineEssence [2008-01-13 17:21:17 +0000 UTC]

Yeah me too! I was re-reading red and wolf to submit to grad schools and went.. I love this kinda stuff lol

Umm. how bout we like.. make a list of our 3 faves and then switch- and it'll be a surprise which we end up with!

My faves are probably Snow White and Rose Red, Beauty and the Beast, and The Seven Swans So any of those would be awesome to see you retell! BTW, it's highly possible that mine will turn into a horror.. is that ok? lol

Hmm took a while for me to respond because I wanted to go through my Grimm book and pick out a few more "original" ones... but now it looks like I won't have the time.

So I was always fond of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Rumplestilskin (or however you spell it), and Little Red Riding Hood... hehe, so if you want to rewrite a little Red story I wouldn't mind.

I'm taking a speech class now so I don't know how long it'll take to write this since I'm doing a speech like every week, but it shall be done!

HiddenRelevance In reply to CrystallineEssence [2008-01-16 18:25:54 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I know whatcha mean.. but since we're re-telling them anyway, I don't think it'll be too much of a biggie to do some of the more well known ones! And ooo.. any one of those would be fun! I'll let it steep through my brain a while then and see what happens!

*takes a moment to laugh at herself* You know.. I just read a kickass fanfic fairy tale series too.. so knowing my luck this may turn into a fanfic.. oops? lol

CrystallineEssence In reply to HiddenRelevance [2008-01-16 20:21:52 +0000 UTC]

Ooo really? That sounds like a cool fanfic, do you have a link to it? I've been searching for some good reading...

HiddenRelevance In reply to CrystallineEssence [2008-01-16 20:26:02 +0000 UTC]

Oh- *big wink* and I've got 2 of a 4 part Tristan fic done myself if you wanna take a look lol

Lol, thanks! I've gotten a few art tutorials that helped with the coloring, so hopefully I'll be improving from here on out. Now that I sit back and look at him, I think he kinda resembles Michael Jackson...

Exarrdian In reply to CrystallineEssence [2008-01-11 11:56:30 +0000 UTC]

Nah TT he doesn`t! He looks unique and cool! ... either that or its cause I haven`t seen Michael Jackson for ages ^___^;;;;
