So I'm planning on making a special post, with art actually done by me. It probably won't be the best art you've ever seen, but I did used to be an art student. I'll add below some examples of what I've done in the past. Might go and find some more in my sketchbook. Anyway, because I've hit the 500 follower point, I want to make something for you guys as a thank you.
I have two ideas in mind, of which I'll start a poll down below.
1) Idea number one is a sketch, of which I'll scan and post up on tumblr. As I'm not the best at faces, my idea for it was something with some emotion behind it. The focus would be on Alice's inner turmoil, in which she gazes down upon the Vorpal Blade, and in the reflection is all the death and trauma she's witnessed and gone through with a fading imprint of her watering eyes over everything. So the subject of the sketch is the Blade, with Alice's hair framing the piece. The background would be a mix of reality and Wonderland, so like the flora of Wonderland among the stones of the streets of London, like she's looking down at the blade and so behind it is the ground of, let's say, Londerland. I'll try to add the urls of as many followers as possible into some of the little details of the piece, like little hidden clues.
2) Idea number two is a more practical piece. I have a dresser in my room that I've had since I was a child that's mostly a plan white, but with drawers that can be changed. The front panel of each drawer can be switched, as there are multiple slabs of wood per drawer. It comes with one slab that is green on one side and purple on the other, and then a second one that is white on one side and pink on the other. And so the drawers of my dresser can be any color I want, or a mix of colors. I need to keep the white one white for obvious reasons (I will act my age eventually...) and purple is my favorite color. Green is my third favorite, and then there's the pink one. I don't like pink that much, and so I've been planning to paint over the pink panel for a while now, adding different interests of mine to each one. I've thought of a Disney related one, an Avatar (blue alien one) related one because Pandora is beautiful, a few video game ones, and so on. So I was thinking, as tribute to my first 500 (or as many as I have by the time I get to work on this) followers, I would paint one whole panel with a landscape piece of Wonderland from American McGee's games. To make it as more of a tribute to you guys, I would do as I planned with idea #1 and add as many urls of my followers to the details of the piece. I'd then take a picture of it before I place it, and then one of it in place in my dresser, and put both photos in a post on my blog as a thank you to all of you.
So now below this, I'll add the poll. You can participate or ignore it, it's up to you. There's also a link to go back to my blog.

Art Examples:
So yeah, I'm not the worst, but I do prefer digital art, digital edits, and sculpting. And then I prefer writing over all of that XD
But I will sketch/paint for you guys!
