Question about your commissions, does an extra character cost extra?

balnibarbi In reply to Midori250 [2013-10-01 22:16:14 +0000 UTC]

Unless you want to cram an unreasonable amount of characters (see: 6 or 7+) into a picture, nope!

Man I know how cosplay death feels. We've got a few costumes we're making for some cosplay videos we want to film. Besides trying not to die at the hands of work? Not much XD! What costume are you working on now?

My girlfriend and I are doing these costumes! [link] I'm the one in Yellow. So far I've had to hand-stencil fabric, make my own rope, punch nearly 2,000 holes in craft foam, and make awful bear shoes. It's gonna be fun. We've got about a week left.

I totally spaced on asking you at Wausaubicon, but where did you get those blue stacking things you put your art on display with? I've been trying to find those but I have no idea what they're even called. XD

Sage-Voseyu [2012-08-05 20:49:18 +0000 UTC]

I don't think there is any word that describes your amazing talent adequately enough. It's all just... wow! Btw, do you prefer to be called Erika or Balni on this site? I prefer Sage as is my 'title' or 'Voseyu' to 'Ben' myself. But I will not squabble over it. Do you visit NoBrand.Con often? I have a friend who goes there every year. Perhaps I will join her this spring.

Haha, you flatter me! Thanks so much. You can call me whatever, i'm not picky at all.

And yes, I'm the co-Art Director at No Brand Con, alongside =Cocky-as-a-Rooster . c:

Sage-Voseyu In reply to balnibarbi [2012-08-07 21:22:48 +0000 UTC]

So you actually have a role at No Brand. I had a feeling that was the case. I glanced through your art very quickly and found a couple posters for No Brand. I suppose my love of writing continues into my obsession over names. And my obsession over names continued into my collection of foreign languages dictionaries. That led me to pursuing foreign language and discovering how much of a natural talent I seem to have with it. Pebbles on a mountainside, right? But it does bother me at times when I receive comments about how people think that 'Sage' is a first name and 'Voseyu' is a last name. Apparently, 'Sage' is a girl's first name among certain circles. I am surprised that more people have never heard of the role of sage, whether in traditional history or in games like the Final Fantasy series. I still need to play those games sometime. Having friends who won't shut up about it isn't quite the same experience. Thanks also for the link to your 'comrade' at No Brand Con. I will check that page when I get the chance. I am working on a new poem this week... my most complex yet. That and I have a bake sale this weekend and shots for my kittens tomorrow. Just the thought makes me sad for some reason. I don't wanna hurt my babies.

Hm, well, with the way your username is set up it might be pretty easy to mix up the names.

Well, sounds like a busy time! have fun.
