First, Donnalicious: I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU! I have the pic here and am going to go with a sort of swords & sorcery theme on it. I got this great lookin' Elric-style dragonwing crown I want to put on your head. Sort of like one of the women who have graced the front covers of Heavy Metal magazine. If I shouldn't go that route, let me know.
Next, to everyone else: I'm getting ready to open up my portraiture bidness in a big way. This means more stuff in my work queue, but it doesn't mean I'll forget the folks who put faith in me.
If you'd like me to do a pic and you're a member of this here Clubhouse, man or woman, I want to get around to doing it. You can email me a photo at [email protected] and if my spamkiller doesn't zap it, I'll give it a treatment.
Now, if you want a *print* of the work, or a print of a previous work, PM me or email me with your address and PayPal me $50 (to the email addy above), and I'll get said pic on out to you. The printer's up and running and the pigment-based ink is ready to flow onto the archive-quality paper.
If I already did a pic of you and you're not happy with it, I'll do another one! Just let me know what you like and I'll make it purty for you.
Payin' customers get to be at the front of the line. Please understand that. (Which makes me feel bad b/c Donna said she'd pay and It's been TWO MONTHS... acckkkk... I am bad, yes...)
Now, as regards the photo to be used... The best ones are where you're not staring directly into the camera with a forced cheesey grin.
Try these tips:
1. Angle your face. Sure, look into the camera, but how about from the side instead of directly?
2. Raise the shoulder furthest from the camera and drop the shoulder closest to it. Wow.
3. Hold something dear to you in the picture. Person or symbolic thing, whatever. If you look at the dear thing, that's cool.
4. Kids and couples are OK, but let's not have everyone sitting still. Put life into it, freeze it in the picture, and send it on over to me.
5. Spontaneous kissing is the best. I love those pics.
6. Don't worry about the background. I fix that as needed. If there's a particular city or park you'd like in the bg, let me know.
Once I'm done with the pic, I do reserve the decision on when and where to display it among my portfolio and by sending me a pic, you agree you're over 18 and are cool with the idea of it being online somewhere. If not, then say so in your email, and I'm cool if you're cool.
But the big news is the $50 print. Folks, you can't beat that deal with a stick!
