LJ you had me cracking up! I was also going to point out the foot. ((Hah, no kicks for meh! ... right?))

Head size seems a bit 'large'. It might also just be me, but her face seems 'skewed', like the angles for the chin and jaw are different then that of the facial features. Um, viewing angle that is from the observer. No one else has mentioned it though, so it's probably just me and I'm way off base. >_<;;;

Thanks SirBronco! This was a great way to wake up and start the day. =^_^= Good luck and happy writing on your own story.

=. .=b

The shading on that is just... wowzers. The details and work on the face and body is just something else. This looks just incredible.

=^_^=b

Let's all rejoice!! Rejoice party!!

That is a wonderful story Morcani. It had me misting up a little by the end because I could picture all the emotion and your reactions.

From the customers perspective I’m sure it’s hard to wait, and it varies from customer to customer, but when they see their piece coming together it seems like all of that frustration goes out of the window. I can’t say that happens in every case but I can say that some of my favorite testimonials came from people that got a bit frustrated during the wait.

That probably true. I didn't realize the wait times could be so long. Like I said, i have yet to commission (or be able to commission) anything. There are four or five artists on these forums that I really would love to have a commission with. So many times I have looked at other peoples commissions, read there happiness and exuberance and wished I had something simular of Tundara.

Patience is something that I personally need to work on regardless of wither I get commissions or not.

Yikes, I hope you hear back real soon Bill.

As for myself, I've never had anything commissioned and I'm not in a position too at this time. Eventually I want to get several pieces commissioned, but that is still a ways down the road still. Personally, I can't see myself waiting a year for something, even something as great as Graver's work. To me, that is just too long. Then again, I have no idea how long it takes to create some of the truly awesome and brilliant pieces. I know I have spent years working on my novels and neither is complete yet (though in the case of one it is because I'm hoping the genre settles a little.)

Regardless, I'm not known for being patient. So, I'll have to wait and see in all honesty before I know how long I'd be able to wait.

But like others said; Commuinication is Key.

Well, I read the first part of your story Marcian, and to my distress, a very real biting distress it is to be certain, I have found it to be most enjoyable a read and it seems to have upset my thought patterns (Much as I suspected reading it would.) Fortune smiles on me however, and by that I mean to say that I have been so favoured or received good tidings, that I'm in more of a Bronte mode then Lemony Snicket (I do hope I spelled his name correctly). Neither however would do so well for my own writing. By the morrow I suspect the effect shall have past.

But never you mind, I shall cut to the chase. On the whole it was very excellent writing, though I did skip over some of the middle portions as I was terribly ancious to head to my chambers for the eve. There were a few, a minor few, instances of using the wrong word. I suspect that much like what happens from time to time to myself, you have been the victim of the Spell Checker. No fault of your own here.

I can not say wither the beginning of your piece is faithful to the original (I shall assume that it is in fact true to the source) But I found it on the whole to be off putting. Several times I was told that I should not read further, and at each instance I wondered if I should indeed cease my endeavours. Push on I did, excepting my minor habit of jumping sentences and whole paragraphs at times. A habit I have I fear as I prefer things with a far greater pace than most authors seem to write. For Ghost Writing I must say it appears to be top notch and marvelous. Yet, I must wonder at if Ghost Writing will truly help with your own styles development. Some lessons can be learned perhaps in the effort, but for myself at least, I find it better, better by half, to just write what I feel is the correct way. Close the eyes and feel the words translate to the page.

I dearly hope this has been of some help, yet I feel that I have said a great deal of nothing on this matter. Even worse, I am getting stuck in this appalling method of thought. I have not been so bad since last I took to the works of O'Brian. Much esteem do I have for his wordplay, but it is of a sort completely at odds with my own.

Wow! That is amazing LJ! I am really and deeply impressed! Great detail and I adore the expression!

Ah, Written Art, yes indeed. That is a sticky wicket and a personal opinion thing. Some people consider writing an art like drawing, painting, or dancing. Some people don't though. *Shrug*

And yeah, Readers block sucks. I generally have to wait 4-5 days after reading something before I can write like myself again. Longer if I really got 'pulled' into the story.

=. .=

A precedent was set? O_o Ooo, when and by whom? I can't say that I have much interest in reading at the moment sadly. When I write I get like this where I have trouble reading, and when I read I have trouble writing. My biggest problem is I 'leech' off the writing style of whatever I read and start to Ghost Write without meaning too. I should post some time the story I wrote after reading a Tale of Two Cities. I'll give it a quick read and see if I can find any glaring errors, but I'm probably not the most qualified critique giver about.

GAH! Marcian, you just broke my sarcasm meter.

I was trying to introduce the characters and give the readers a feel for their personalities and relationship before moving onto the action. You're right, it could be done better. The idea of cell phones isn't bad. I tend to forget about the things since I have a phone-phobia and hate having the darn things in the same room as me, let alone use them. >_<;;; The gang activity that is spoken of in the first couple paragraphs is actually to set up that their is a crime problem as well as foreshadow events that happen much later in the story. Still, hardly critical and it is very rough and 'Not Good'.

Thanks for the comments LJ, I really appreciate them.

=. .=

That doesn't sound so bad... >_> ... <_<

Thanks LJ! That was just what I was looking for, though not to say all that I was looking for, keep them coming! Cut me down and build me up!!

I agree, the begining is weak, but I didn't think the 'talking heads' was that bad. *Sigh* Dialogue always has been a weakness of mine.

Edit: Stacey is the Civilian name for Tundara. (actually, it's more complicated then that... but to explain would take some time...)

Virtue is an odd place indeed... =O_O= Can't say I've run across the need for such a policy in my capers across the Virtueverse... Mind you, I'm scared to go to Pocket D...
