Just to let you know, a 4foot X 3 foot version of this is going on my wall this week - I have to give stepson James to look at while he's visiting...

Wow! I just hope the sheer scope of it doesn't freak anyone out! 
Thanks honey. You made my day ( again!)!

I shouldn't have spoken too soon. We are having problems finding a printer locally who can do it. Most will only go 3ft X 2ft. But we'll keep trying!

Haha, woman!
Oh, by the way, choose, 'cause I'm stuck:
-Continue with half-finished, half-arsed SS/HG art ( we'll get plenty of SS/HG in the near future..)
-Start with new awesome Fresme pic that I've already done a preliminary sketch for
Difficult, eh?

Well, that's a dilemma, because there is that half-finished SS/HG fic with the scarves that looked soooo tempting to me (hint hint), but if you are really excited about the Fresme, then you go girl! Create, that's all I want you to do - whatever it is, it will be beautiful because you created it.

Ahh, you just HAD to pick the high-maintenance one, didn't you? That's gouache paint, and I'm such a messy painter
I got side tracked into working on another one of my half-finished projects. I don't believe you saw it on the floor...
How's the printing going?

Frustrating - either it's too small for a price I can afford or outrageously expensive for the size I want. I'm going to hold out until I can afford the size I want. Unfortunately, you didn't win the Gibson contest - I've seen the winner and I'm here to tell you - it isn't all that. Very disappointing, really. I still think yours was the best - no question.

You may want to hang on to that printing thought ...
I never even seriously considered winning that contest, the true prize in participating was getting to know you. So in a way, I have won!
I'm finishing a piece of mine after I finish my coffee, I'm in a creative mood!
(did you get my mail btw, that's the piece that's almost finished!)

Yes, please see my note on it - it is wonderful!!!!! And I'm a bit of a prat, but then again, no surprises there....
And yes, babe, I look forward to every little thing you do - everything, and I promise not to let you down on C. I am trying to put it together so hard, but I'm having a little blockage on it. I think there are so many choices with the letter, I can't quite make up my mind!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is there anything I can say or do to remove aforementioned blockage?

Whatever you say or do always helps...

NakedFrollonakedFrollonakedFrollonakedFrollo...
I can go on for quite some time.
Now, what was that about the letter "c"that has you twisting in knots?
Hmm, we may be better off taking this conversation to LJ. Mose doesn't want to get banned for pr0nning here.

No, we mustn't do that, must we
I will email you with my concerns - in fact you may help with my dilemma...

I'm starting to write. I think it's peeling loose from my brain and starting to flow into the computer....

They are, once you get used to the speed in which you have to work. Downpart of it is that you need to invest in heavy quality paper, otherwise the paper will begin to distort. I have expensive hobbies
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. I generally have to stick with heavy quality paper for my artwork, too. I use markers a lot and once I get the tones all built up and everything I find I really need that thicker paper to prevent bleed through.

Thank you so much! I love Esmeralda to bits. She's such a sassy thing. ( and I have a weakness for Frollo, but I bet you already noticed if you checked the rest of my depravity art!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like Esmeralda, too! I like Disney's version, rather than Victor Hugo's, but it was to show how she really didn't understand what love is, so to say. She is quite sassy. She'd probably fit in with the Muses from Hercules.

I hope I haven't given you fuel for nightmares with my preference for Frollo...

Nah, I'm okay.
