- my little sister yelling at her X-Box Live friends in the next room over, or my mother singing as she goes about her housework. It's almost enough to make a gal feel lonely, but at least I have my doggies.
Anyway, my mother and sister are in New York for a family reunion on my mother's side, and my father is no longer living with us, so that leaves me all by my lonesome in this dreadful Arizona heat.
Unfortunately, that means I'm also charged with house upkeep and making sure my beloved doggies don't overheat in this weather, so I haven't had much time to answer all of the lovely comments you've all left me.
I also admit to being addicted to Final Fantasy 13 right now; I've had the game a while, but kept getting fed up with the new combat system, among other things, and put the game aside thinking I'd sell it off later. Now I find myself on the third and final disc and totally loving Oerba Yun Fang and her awesome outfit.
Ahem, anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I'll do my best to reply to all of you as soon as possible, and I thank you all for your patience and kindness.
On another note, I'd very much like to do something for all of my wonderful watchers who have been very kind, gracious and patient with me throughout my art journey, as well as my various extended absences. As it were, I was practicing with my Prismacolor markers recently, and decided to cut up a piece of my Bristol board into six little pieces, so as to have a smaller surface that would use less ink (I can't afford to buy any new markers right now
). When I had finished, I realized that these would fit nicely with a postcard inside a standard mailing envelope, so that I might mail them to some of my lovely watchers here as a little gift of appreciation.
I know this is probably a silly gift to offer, but it's the best I'm capable of given that art is the only thing I can offer of myself, as well as my current economic situation.
Anyway, what I'd like to know is how many of you might be interested? I'm more than willing to make more little cards depending on how many people wold like one. The only problem is, as you can probably guess, that my markers only have so much ink, and my pencils only have so much lead, and with over 200 people watching me right now, I can't exactly afford to make a card for everyone, no matter how much I wish I could. D: So, in short, I'd like to get a ballpark figure of how many people might appreciate a card (watchers from outside the US are welcome, too!
) so I can get an idea of whether or not I might need to organize a raffle or some other method of picking recipients. I currently have six cards featuring the Titans GO! animated characters (Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and Terra), but I'll probably be able to take some requests should I need to make more.
Also, since I know how some of my watchers can be, please don't be shy about wanting a card, I appreciate all of you, and want to do something nice for as many of you as possible! ^-^
Anyhoo, I'll post the cards I've done so far in a little while, so you can get an idea of how they look, and whether you'd want to get such an ugly piece of work in the mail.
My sincere thanks go out to all of you for all your support and kindness over the years (or months, or weeks, or days, depending on how long you've been watching me
), as well as taking the time to visit my little corner of dA and look at my pictures.
Here's hoping my attempt at giving back will be successful.
EDIT:
Here are the first six cards I made, I hope you'll like them~
Love and best wishes to you all,
Sarah~
