Wow... They told me it would only take a few business days when I sent it out and it's been a week already. Maybe it's been hectic because of Christmas.

yeah, I figure christmas time nips all timelines in the bud. and we were hit with a pretty good winter storm during that time, so it would have slowed that down as well. The post may go on even in 'rain, sleet, snow, and hail' but it's not as zippy LOL

Yeah, they've had some problems with the government recently too. I hope they arrive to you safely T.T

>w>....
<w<.......

When is her birthday?

O.<
I'm now mildly deaf in my left ear, she sorta screamed a lot louder than I expected.
Oh, her birthday was yesterday :) and it was a huuuuuuge success. And her dad could NOT wrap his head around the idea that I commissioned someone to make something. Let alone to make two somethings like ART. I had to spend like an hour explaining it. Oh fathers.

But she loves the pictures, had to explain to some of her other friends who Grave was,t hen had to put in the anime to prove she wasn't crazy. Then we had looooooooots of food. Lots. And culled through the x-men cards she got as well to find one that was suitable to accompany Gambit that evening. Sadly, no Remy, but there was a Rogue and we felt that suitable.

He didn't understand that? xD

Rogue is also suitable. Sounds like fun. ^^

apparently the idea of paying someone I don't know on a face to face(not avatar face) basis to make art for someone is a completely foreign concept. I gave up after a while and just said you were a friend that lived in a different state.

Ah okay. Did he go with the last part? xD

yeah, finally bought that idea, but whatever. I could BREAK HIS BRAIN and list all the people I've commissioned through over the last, eh, five years.

Does he think it's sketchy, or does he think it's something that people don't do?

The later, I don't think he'd ever thought of paying for something PRIOR to it already existing. Though how he things all the great painters of our time existed I've no idea since they all worked on commission.

They did. xD They were paid to make whatever... Paint the chapels... you know lol

I still have to wonder what a few of them were thinking when they were working, I mean...have you seeeeeeeen some of the people they painted? as a former SCAdian I used to LOL my butt off at some of 'em and think 'that painter just wanted to get DONE'

Wanted to get done??? xDDDD

finished, completed...sorry, sort of thinking in bastardized british slang of late thanks to too much torchwood and Dr Who...

Well I know what that means, but the way you wrote it made me think you meant "laid" xD

Why is no one else interested in buying art? I still need the money, I lost my job... T.T

oh noes! I'm sorry :( And you just got it too, that royally sucks! Sadly everyone is probably in the 'I spent way too much money over the holidays' boat.

*wants art from you again now that he has a decent avi*

Fey - yeah... that's probably true.

Yeah, bro? xD

Make a decent avi! xD

how 'bout an indecent one?
>.>
<.<
what? I've not been watching a lot of torchwood...

hehehe Sounds hot!

that's it, previously I was going to subtly incite a 'naked' day, but now I think and 'indecent' day might be more fun...

Certainly sounds good to me! xD

now to just prod at the pixelists to get a few things up and going so we have some truly indecent bits to add...

Oh noes! xD
I wish we could. Even though we are aimed toward older teens, we do have a lot of younger members.

>.>
if they phrase it right or make it vague enough we should be safe
<.<
or y'know, they gotta learn some time.

lol I'm not sure what to say about that other than... lol xD

well it's TRUE
leave a kid on the 'net and they'll learn everything
at least here we know it's pixeled

haha I suppose that is true xD

god help parents who don't know how to lock the 'safe search' feature....
