Picture vs. Books -- the game is on again
 I talked about how I wanted to do this again. So - even though I'm not really finished with my commissions and I'm broke again and every single thing seems to weight against it I'll just do it because I want to - and sort of as a small birthday present to myself.


If you follow me since some time or perhaps even participated the last time you know how it goes.
If you're new to this, here are the rules:

If you want a picture of a character from your RPG, book or just your mind, or another picture that will feature one person, you can write me with your description and I'll do my best to draw it.
You get me a book you think I'll like or should read. (If you can't come up with something you can cheat and have a look at my amazon wishlist of course - and by special occasion .. if you share my computergame nerdiness a gifted PSN or VC game will also qualify :) ) This is different from my normal commissions - think of it more as a gift exchange.

What will you get from this?
I can't do realistic computer colored group pictures that will take me a month to complete, here. Its a fun project, not a supermarket discount. I will do line art with computer colors, small aquarell pictures or pencil drawings with some airbrush shading - just tell me what you'd prefer. One character only, but this can be any character you like, i'm ok with naked pics, bondage or whatever too. Just try and shock me :) I can also do a banner, icon, friends only logo or something similiar.

What do you need to do?
First you need to leave me a comment or mail telling me you're interested - and best including your description and address (I need this if you want me to send you the original picture - for web only stuff or if you don't need the original your email is sufficient.) Tell me if its ok if I post the image in my journal.
Send me the book you chose (or whatever else) to


Ulrike Kleinert
Bergstrasse 270d
44809 Bochum
Germany
or
email : adorna@gmx.net
PSN : adorna
Wii Friendscode: (I'll add that later, have to check)

Deadline

The deadline for this is from now until the 17th September. I'll try to send all images by that date.

I am definitely interested. I must dig a book out of my collection that I think you will enjoy. Surely I can find one...

I'd like to participate! And you'll get a book, I think EVERYONE should read. But maybe you could prevent bad surprises by telling, if there's any genre, you don't like, at all...

hmm .. good call ..
I usually read everything remotely fantasy, SF, Horror, Thrillers, Slash,Porn, most young adult books and a bit of classic literature - especially if it deals with fantasy, ghosts or whatever (like the turn of the screw ... though that was sort of a hard read.)
I do occasionally read "real life" stuff if its written in any interesting way. The only stuff I really disliked so far have been very bad attempts at parody. I usually like funny books. They just should not fail to be funny while trying very hard .. but then thats not a genre definition. I'm a bit partial about "modern literature" that puts style over story.

Actually, as long as its a good book I'll give it a try :)

ok, I can think of something. I dislike war stories. If I have to see one more world war 2 movie i'm going to scream.

Okaaaaaaaaay, the book I'm thinking about will definitely fit. Just don't judge it by the cover. This isn't very good.

I'd like a picture of a thirteen year old, thin girl. She has curly, red hair, down to her shoulders and green eyes. She's wearing a thin, white, linen nightshirt and no shoes. She's kind of a world- walker; not alive, but not a zombie, or similar, either. She could have foxglove- blossoms in her hair, but that is no "must".

She's a character from a book, I just wrote and I'm looking forward to your idea of her!

I'd prefer somewhat pale, ghostly colours, but which technique you use is up to you.
I'll have your book on its way, tonight.

Adorna, you're a genius! And generous to boot!!!

I've been wanting to post for this for days and finally I find the time to do so ^_^

The books are on the way, from my sweetheart, my little star and me.

Picture: Maiden, Mother (with baby) and Crone. For inspiration check the "Blueberry Girl" entry in my journal. ^_~

Lots of Love,

Anda

*g*

Yep, several people. But I'm hoping that the fact that it's more than one book will make up for that?

*HUGS*
