if you'd like to see the actual list, it's here, but you won't be able to edit it directly.

if you'd like to change the pinglists you're on,
you can resubmit the form with your new preferences. your most recent response will completely overwrite older responses.

if you'd like to remove yourself, you can re-submit the form with the "REMOVE" option clicked. this will remove ALL INSTANCES of your name from the list.

you can also ask me to add/edit/remove your place in the list!

other info

what do i like drawing, in particular?
some themes: birds, bones, anatomy, scientific illustration, speculative biology (please please please if you want me to get weird with it tell me i LOVE funky anatomy)

anything i WON'T do?
i'll give anything honest consideration, but if i don't think i can do a good job, i'd rather let you know than bluff and make something mediocre. go ahead and ask! as a rule of thumb i'm far better with organics than geometrics/mechanics/things with straight lines. i don't know what a machine is.

[interesting and peculiar request]?
awesome. it's best if you PM or email me about it first, just to make sure i can fulfill your request. if i think i can pull it off, i'll work out a price quote for you!

if it's something common, but not explicitly listed above (e.g., ref sheets), i may have examples already drawn.

do i accept gems/treasure/KS familiars/firstborn children/etc?
it's unlikely. my whole bit on this site is that i don't have any dragons, so i've sort of ascended beyond the need for on-site money. i'm paid "well" for a grad student, meaning i can break even on my own, so this is how i earn my fun money every month :)

why am i both whale AND bird themed? am i stupid?
yes

(i'm thinking of eventually redoing the graphics, but for now we're hybridizing in this thread)

The necklace is all you'd end up doing, along with her genes. Smoke doesn't quite show on her for obvious reasons, so it's just iridescent you'd need. ~eeee's excitedly~ 25k unless the iridescent is a bit harder?

@Anjoulas

Alright! The two silks would be an extra cost of 10k, and Tiger would be another 5k, so that comes up to 35k ^^
