Good day to you all! :heart:
And HAPPY HALLOWEEN!, or Day of the Dead :3
Hope everyone is enjoying the event, as much as I am. ^^
While you're on and about, I'll expect everyone to please follow the rules of the site.

So heres whats up :D
I'm looking for generous artists, who are willing to draw my costume, my current avatar, and/or me and some friends.
I know its a lot to ask, from a stranger, but if you're looking for something to draw, or feel like brushing up on your art, Feel free to use myself or any of my other references.

About ~Black Petals~
I am also an artist myself, working to improve my style. At the moment drawing anatomy is giving me a hard time .__. I could even go so far as to say that anatomy is kicking my butt; it gets frustrating at times.
Nonetheless, I'm open to doing Art Trades! :3
Examples of drawings can be found on my profile. They're all sketches in there (meaning lightly pencil sketches), but for this case I'll ink them for sure, but color them only by request.

If you would like to do an Art Trade, please fill out this form:
Either post it on the thread, and hope that I see it. If I don't them kindly PM me your form ^^

*I LOVE couple art ^^ so draw any of my friends from the above with my avatar would be splendid! I would heart you forevers! <3333


Things to note:
Obviously, in the pictures I'm smiling wayyy to much *out of character* ^^; It's instinct, I think. See a camera: Smile. so you don't look pissed or zoned out or whatever. But even that happens! xD


Halloween Costume
My real life costume. Its up to you whether you want to include my friends, or if you only want to draw a single character. I'm fine with either.

Hello there miss Chizuru_chan~ ^^
And yes of course! I welcome your offer with open arms~ no strings attached xD

It's up to you which character you'd like to draw.
My current avatar would be just fine ^^
The references I've posted are just there for a visual aid. and maybe inspiration. :)

Some samples would be nice. Look forward to seeing them. <3

Oh man, it seems the thread is rather slow :(

Hi Petals!!
O: Thanks for including me up there! x3

Can't stay on long, but I figured I'd post~

HIYA! I'm an artist as well! I don't have my tablet though so sadly I can't trade you anything. BUT if you want to really tackle some drawing projects you should check out drawspace.com it has lots of lessons at many different lvls where she takes something beautiful and breaks it down to really simple things

No problem~ I figured it wouldn't hurt to get coupled art

now you get to see my costume from my references atleast xD;
I was hoping to save myself the embarrassment, but ohwell. e_e;;; haha
we've known each other for years now, and I dont normally post pics, so I figured this is wayyy different than you imagined.... hahah its always like that *feels exposed*Dx the cyber nakedness!


Awwww nuuuus~ *clings* Ah, I forgot to tell you~ I don't have school tomorrow b/c of this workshop at my school, no classes for students. yay! --but I dont wana keep you up ;-; so if you have to go now, I'll ttyl

can we post here till the event ends, instead of profile comments? o:

I hope you end up getting lotsa arts!
I'm to busy with school to draw one at the moment. ;o;

Woooah! O_O I didn't check the references until now!
I love your outfit! And you look really pretty/awesomeh in the pictures! x3
I don't see what you have to be embarrassed about! xD

Luuucky! I have my longest day of the week tomorrow, so I don't get back until 9:00 PM. ><;

And sure! That sounds good to me!

@ Comment then xD:
I might go look into that anime one day~

Yep! x3

Oh, take your time then! xD I thought you already had something ready!

lol, I hope so too. but I'm not so sure at the rate things are going.
and thats okay. school comes first

Thank yous~<333...
It's b/c I've actually known you for a while, where as with strangers they just look and draw. and be done. I have art. :'D wa-la~

Sure, if you ever watch it tell me what you think of it. I know people who aren't fans of Nana, thats cause it doesn't interest them, it happens xD

9 PM is pretty late to be coming back home, missy. what am I gonna do for the XXX hours you're gone? *sits and stares at the blank computer screen* Dx its gonna be tragic!! WHERES TAY? xD

*CURSE TYPOS... I keep making them!

Well, at least we get event items for chatting? xD;

Awws, maybe we'll get to know those strangers? O:

xD Okay!

Hopefully someone will take notice of your thread and talk! It is pretty late right now though. ^^;

xD I do too, but I don't notice them most of the time. >>;

Time for me to go. D: Good luck!
*Leaves plate of cookies for people to come in and talk too* xD

Alrighty then D: it is getting pretty late
Thanks Tay! have a good day tomorrow!

^^ yay cookies! xD

hardly any offers yet :c
I wonder if I scared them all away with my vampire teeth and mean scowl Dx

Maybe my cookies were stale. >>;

Dx that couldn't be it... What'd you put in them anyways?? *tries one of your cookies* well then again, maybe a little more sugar wouldn't hurt. x__x (lol)

It is a request thread afterall, I'm basically asking for freebies. who in their right mind would want to do that? x3 ...OH! but I did receive one today from Winter Wind.

*Tastes own cookies* I think your right! I was just proud that I didn't set anything on fire this time! xD
*Sees it* That's awesome! x333

Thats a relief! What would we do if you set your own kitchen on fire x__x Someone call 911!
Sora won't be thrilled when he comes home to a burnt kitchen, thats for sure xD;
that is one scenario I hope never comes true

Did I ever missed the wedding for you two? and whatever happened to Riku--er, Kairi? xD

xDD!
I've been told that I could set cereal on fire if I tried hard enough!

That all happens in the future apparently. xD
>> Riku and Kairi get together in the end? 8D;

How's your event going so far? O:

omg, you're like those people who can kill by just looking at them! ..Only you can burn thigns too! Quick! *ties a blindfold on* wear this!
<--awesome blindfold-ness in action
x3

So far so good on my end~
I'm saving up for one more items and whatever else is left I'll get extras, or use for making skellys
hows it for you?

Oh noes! *Runs around with blindfold on* How does Riku do this?! *Faceplants into wall*

I like it so far! x3
As for items, I'm thinking about saving up for another set, or just going for the shop items that I want. ^^;

Tayeko?! D: a-are you okay?!
...Forgot to tell you there's a wall right there x3
hahah!

hahah I think thats what I just said, only worded better xD Thats cool, hopfully you get the items you want. Oh and I noticed you got the Yumeh slippers~ they're adorable! *kneels down and pokes em* Yup, they're soft and fluffy alright!

It's equivalent to a coco..cept with blue eyes. maybe they're cousins..? o.o

*Rubs nose* Yeah, I noticed! xD

Yep! I apparently won them from posting on page 1000 in Mr. Mayor's thread! O-o

xD And I guess it's a little late to point this out, but your avi look awesome as usual! x3
Don't get me wrong, I noticed the changes! But I kept forgetting to mention it! xD;

xD I thought Coco was Kiki's cousin!

:boogie: Congratz for winning! Thats awesome! Go Mayor! (for having the contest in the first place) :mrmayor:

Thats okay, I don't mind. but thanks! :heart: thats thoughtful of ya, tay
I do change my avatar from time to time, when I get new items. lol (thats when you know I got a new item) x3

Huh! Oh yeah! I forgot *wrist to forehead* Duh! :roll:
Then what makes yumeh to coco, second cousins...twice removed? :shock: or siblings? do I hear a little simbling rivalry? xDD omg! I could make so many puns with this! ...Hope those two don't get into a catfight when they see each other. XD; *fail* e.e;

Sorry for the rambling... <//3
I just couldn't resist
