You know the one thing I absolutely hate about the Christmas season?
All the damn stores seem to sell only Christmas stuff.

Man what a hassle. Oh well, suppose it's apart of the season.

I hope 2013 is going well for you all! I just wanted to share some news with you: next month, Blindsighted Wanderer will be having a blog tour, thanks to Tam's Two Cents and Bookend 2 Bookend!From 10th-27th February, there will be all sorts going on for me, Silas, Merrin and Raphael, across blogs far and wide!

Valerie: How did you decide to have the Willow Lane Mysteries take place in the 1980s? If it were set in the present, what would you change about the story?
Virginia Rose Richter: I set The Willow Lane Mysteries in the 1980s because technology was relatively uncomplicated then. (No cell phones, personal computers, digital cameras etc.) Technology changes so quickly now, I feel as if that aspect would 'date' the books. If the stories

Finally confirmed my first photoshoot for Tomoe Mami (Madoka Magica)! I will almost definitely have photos up by mid-September~
I'm kinda nervous to cosplay such an awesome + pretty character, but I will do my best! :3
(If anyone wants to give me any ideas/tips, ESPECIALLY about how to style her fringe... Be my guest!)
Sorry for the lack of anime cosplays lately~ I haven't had many new costumes since I am banned from sewing until the end of the school year and buying things online takes months ;A;
My costume for Karuta (InuxBoku) is also here, although the shirt collar isn't quite right... Might even cosplay Ririchiyo if I feel up to it! ^^
The dress is so cute (but short), I'm actually going to wear it to school on free dress day~ XD
As for my Misaki (Maid-Sama) cosplay, it arrived but the sizing is quite big and a bit too long for me... Might have to sell it and buy a new one, but I will definitely get around to cosing her eventually!

Commission InformationCommission Information goes here.Commission Information4 years ago in Personal More Like This
So, yes, I'm almost always open for commissions, so don't be hesitant to ask me about it! Here's the guidelines for it.
01. Public Service Announcement
I'm more of an anime/manga-style artist than anything else. My strengths are in black/white pieces, monochrome colors and simple shading. I am also not the best choice for mecha-type or anthro-type art; go find someone else for those. I am also not going to draw anything explicitly sexual, though suggestive themes are welcome.
If you're still interested, email me at: kidcorva[AT]yahoo[DOT]com
Or send me a note. 8D
02. The Rates
I do three types of commissions:
A) B/W (black/white)
B) B/W with tones
C) Digitally colored, well, lines
I don't do marker-colored commissions because markers are EXPENSIVE and I can't afford them for heavy-duty art, so I left that out. The rates are basic estimates, so they might change depending on how much detail you want worked into the piece.
