[Edit May 15, 08] I want to do something for the victims of the recent earthquake, but I'm struggling to pay my own rent... I know I'm behind with finishing commissions, but I have this idea, let me know what you think (help me to flesh it out):
I will take one commission per month (price depends on complexity and estimated hours I need to complete it. but at least $25), and the full amount minus the shipping will be donated to the earthquake victims to American Red Cross China Earthquake Relief [link]
The money will be donated within two days after I receive it. I don't know what kind of confirmation ARC provides for online donation, but I will forward the "payment receipt" to my commissioner.
I will start the commission within a week of receiving the payment, and finish it within five days after the commissioner okay the sketch.
I want to do this for as long as I can, because I heard help for victim of natural disasters often end too early. and people who lost everything need just more than a few month to rebuild and recover. but do you think it would be inappropriate to do this for say, a year?

[Edit April 22, 08] In loving memory of Chibi -- my sweet friend, pet, and roommate [/Edit]

[Edit March 08] Thank you if you visited my table at Sakura-Con Karen, Wei, and Maria, would you send me an email (lilycli@gmail.com) if you commissioned me?

I apologize for being super inactive for so long (school life never ends).. sadly I won't be able to do much art until after May 13... but I will be checking DA semi regularly [/Edit]

I'm finally done with finals and submitted my priceless thesis! There are tons of things I need to do still, but I want to brush up my drawing skills too..

------------------------Happy holidays and THANK YOU part------------------------
To show my appreciation for my DA buddies, I will draw animal sticker for five people (example: [link])

1. You can request ANY real animal (including extinct ones), exclude human, and no mythological characters.. It's okay to request ones that are already in [link]
2. One request per person. Request by commenting on this journal. (This is my way to thank DA folks for supporting me in the past two years, so I won't accept requests via email, facebook, etc).
3. First come first serve - until all 5 spots are filled.
4. I will be happy to mail you the sticker for free once I finish it. and I will ask you for your address AFTER I finish it.
5. I reserve my right to not draw the animal you requested.
6. It will take me awhile to finish your request, I'd appreciate your patience : )

1. Panda for tracisue
2. Textured Octopus for kalkie
3. Poofy kitty for Jhart3
4. Bottle-nosed dolphin for drgnspirit
5. Chibi-chan for myself
(I will check DA after I come back from vacation, on Dec 27th)
