I love it! How you can see all of the lines in your body. I wish I could use you as a model for sketching. You're body is beautiful!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
WOW! That is one of the most beautiful things anyone has ever said to me, I'm completely overwhelmed! I've never had anyone say they want to sketch me, thank you Number-3-Please, truly! And I wish it were but there are many imperfections!
<3 <3

Ha ha. I'm glad you like my words. But I myself am overwhelmed. You're body just has so much to it! It's beautiful and I wish I could put it on paper. Please don't stop making these! Your gallery is gorgeous! (:
If I said anymore, it would just be jumble ha ha.

You're thoughts mean so much to me, I can never express that enough! Aww... thank you again, it's I who am overwhelmed by your thoughtful comments. There will be more, though at times I wish I knew someone who could shoot me, as I'm sure you know it's really nearly impossible to capture your vision on your own. If it would be of any assistance, feel free to download any of my portraits should they suffice! I'd love to try modeling for you, but at the same time I'm incredibly self-conscious and shy and might be terrible at it!

You can't be terrible at holding still! Ha ha. I know how you feel, and I'd be terribly shy about it too. I might try to do it from photo. But It never quite feels the same! Thank you very much! And I promise to show it to you if I do! : D Thank you!

you're always welcome dear! It would be hard, but it's more my body, I have a lot of scars and imperfections, but you seem like someone I would be comfortable trying that for.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I might just try! >3
Though it'll be a while.. I'll have to find where I put my sketch pad and all. Thank you so much though! It's amazing that you don't recognize you're body! And I'm glad you'd be willing to model for me (I think? D: ) if you were around. But this will subside. (: Thank you again!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww... that's lovely, I look forward to it, and thank you dear!! <3 Take as long as you need, though I hope you find you find your sketching supplies. You're very very welcome! I am sorry don't "recognize my body", it's just something I self-conscious about and showing it to the world a little terrifying! Thankfully there are artists like who appreciate and support me! Of course I'd model for you, I just hope I'd do a good job! I am around, I mean you found me, and I hope you don't let anything subside!
<3 Ian
