Monster day and an art!

[reymonkey]

Today's been busy, or I would've posted this morning. After four months of waiting, and a lot of contacting other places that told me they always just sent people to the four months waitlist place, I had a therapist appointment. She didn't tell me I'm not effed up enough for them to bother with, and I have another appointment, so that right there leaves me feeling more optimistic.

For anyone who didn't know it, today is MONSTER DAY! See here for some fun links from the founder of Monster day, but it involves buying discount valentine candy and watching monster movies, and drawing monsters. This is a combination that cannot possibly go wrong. I don't think I ever got around to drawing any last year, but this year damnit I plan to.

Edit for monster linkage:
Top 10 movie monsters
Bottom 5
Lots more movie monsters
Inflatable monsters
I don't even know WTF this is. But I loled so hard.
And! Whose Line monsters!

In other art news, finished Mephron's commission last night. Click for bigger image/link to DA.

Preeeeetty!

From your comments at DA, I take it that he supplied the ref art for you?

He supplied ref photos for her hairstyle, general outfit (I changed the bodice and he asked for different colors than the photo), the goddess symbol thing that I worked into the bodice, and info about her physical build and hair and eye color and setting and all. This is the second commission I've done for him, and both times he gave me lots of info to work with. It's just way easier than if somebody is too vague on what they want. Specifics are good.

It's only fair to make it easier for the artist!

:) It's better for you, too, since I'm sure the end result comes out closer to what you hope for than if you said 'she's this chick, in some medieval clothing. Go!'
