(no subject)

Been feeling better and worse over the past few days. Everyone except Brian went back home yesterday morning, but even Brian had to leave last night.

Two days ago, I spent half an entire day trying to beat the last level in the Ice Temple. Yesterday, I switched to my other copy, and it only took me half the day to complete the Forest and Fire Temples, without even grinding so much. The rest of the day, though, I wasn't feeling well enough to play the game at all.

Dad was flipping through the channels last night, and came across Thomas the Tank Engine on WLIW21. I sat down to watch it, and so did Mom (briefly), but then Mom went back in the kitchen, and Dad did some stuff on the computer. I watched the entire episode, and the whole thing was CG (except for a live-action inter-episode showing what a train engineer does at the end of his workday).

As of this morning, my MCK request is still up on Point Commissioners, but I have sent a new request and gave the club owner permission to remove the current one.

Chelle:

On the requesting subject, that reminds me; I saw you use a screencapture for reference last time and it was very low quality. Need any high-quality references for the style and Mondo + Rokuna? Got plenty.

Oh, you mean, what I showed you? Well, that was just for my own attempt. For the BIG Date request, I didn't really need any screenshots at all. For the new one, I already got one screenshot each for Sailor Moon and Lucky Star.

While we're on the topic, the owner of that club still has yet to get back to me. I accidentally sent the same message twice, thinking that the first attempt didn't go through, but then I noticed that notes sent to clubs aren't archived in "Sent notes". Guess it will be either tonight or tomorrow morning before they get back to me about it.

Then the person you commissioned is already familiar with the character designs?

I assumed that anyone who takes up the job would be, or if not, would actually look online to see what they look like. Are you suggesting that this might not be the case?

I've had people that I had given reference make stuff up as they go along, so I'd say it is a "you can never be sure enough" kind of thing.

Okay, then. Sure, I'll be glad to have some screenshots. Thanks in advance.

Okay, here's the ones I already have on Photobucket :

Will send some more later.

Thanks for these!

If you need me to specify, though, I asked Slayer-1412 (the person who took the job) to have them viewed diagonally, Mondo from the front, Rokuna from behind while facing to her side. But then again, maybe I should show her all of them anyway, in case she hasn't bothered to look them up.

So, you'd specifically need a shot of how her hair and face looks from the side and Mondo right from the front; got it.
Just ask whether she needs clear shots.

[dmxrated]

More like, how her hair and face would look from an angle, and how Mondo himself would look when viewed diagonally from his right while facing forward. Probably be easier if I showed you something with the positions in question, but not sure if I'll be able to find anything.

Mondo's position: http://www.angelfire.com/emo/rockna/mck/mck_22.jpg (notice Mondo and Rokuna)

For the position of Rokuna's head and body simultaneously, there is a pic on Anime GTS World, of Rabi from Di Gi Charat, bikini-clad in a city. Not sure if you're gonna bother viewing it, but I'm not really sure where else to look for it. If you'd rather I go find something else, I'll do that, but here's a link anyway:

(In this case, though, Rokuna's head will actually be facing straight, rather than downwards, but this comes close enough.)

Can't hotlink the former, but I get the idea from the latter, so that's a near-front shot of the face.
