i'm fine with waiting. ^____^ <3

let me add one more ref pic!

i'll send you a trade now. :3

@ captain howdy Haha, I was just about to let you know about your commission. So far, I have a sketch figured out. It was incredibly hard to figure out a background suitable for a "happy vamp," as you called him. I'm relatively happy with his pose, but I may play with the background a bit more. Someone suggested that I put him on a viking ship, so he's sitting on a barrel in some ship at the moment. Things will probably change at least a little bit as I paint him.

But yeah, sorry that it's taking so long. Real life issues and just the sheer amount of time that I put into my artwork. I'm going to try and get it done in the next 2 weeks, but I think it might take a bit longer than that. Oh, and my scanner is having issues right now, so the WIP shot is a crappy photo, haha. I tried to increase the contrast a bit so that it's easier to see.

-(after a while of trying to upload the most current sketch) AARRRGHH! For some reason, it's not showing up when I try and upload it, so here's a WIP shot I took before I drew the BG.
