So two days ago I was talking with my younger sister, apparently she was trying to come up with a gift idea for a friend's birthday that was to happen on Friday. I said some things, including "You could make something". But she turned them all down, when out of nowhere a light bulb went off in my head. She may have a hard time making something, but I don't. So I offered I'd make an image for the birthday girl as a gift. *ended up being a joint birthday so I had to make two* I called it a commission, but said she didn't have to pay me, come on..she IS my sister. The only thing I said she had to pay for was to get them printed. Seriously though, I love Staples! $5.50 for two 5x8 color photocopies AND trimmed! *hearts*
So I finished the first one yesterday, took about two and a half hours total. I think this is one of my fav pieces I've worked on in a while.
And then this is where the deadline came in, I had a late night, didn't get up till 11:12 am. Our grandmother was coming around 1pm to pick us up, to go and get the art printed, and the mother of the birthday girl was coming around 2pm to pick my sister up for the party. Oh boy! @_@
So I had to work under high pressure to finish it, which I'm happy to say, I DID! YES! And with time to spare. I hope it doesn't seem to rushed, I really tried to make sure I put just as much effort into it as I did with the previous one.
Reason as to why they're dancers, these two b-day girls are in my sister's dance class. So she suggested I do something dance related. There is also a small difference between what I've shown and what they got, their versions also have their names on the pictures. But for personal reasons I felt it was better to leave them out when I post them on my art sites.
Anyway, I pray I'm never placed in such a shortly timed predicament.
