ChipIn Update

Once again, this is a straight copypasta of HTML code from 's journal to mine because I may be drawing it but he's organizing it. So I'm still not turning into Gambit and referring to myself in the third person. Just saving time by borrowing something written about me rather than writing up something from scratch…

As previously mentioned, I wanted to have do another piece for Blue Belle 2012 but money was a bit of an issue for me after previous commissions, school and personal expenses, and so forth and so on. So I launched a ChipIn so that fans of her work - and mine, for that matter - could get involved. Here's where we stand at present:

Four Character (Thrúd, Amora, Aphrodite, Mórrígan) Version: $105 FULLY FUNDED
Six Character (above plus Kára and Göndul the Valkyries) Version: $135 FULLY FUNDED
We Mail Everyone an Autographed Print: $200 (raised $135 - 67.5% funded)

So, we're at the point where things are going to begin moving forward art-wise, but there's still time to donate if you want to get in on the autographed print part. If that's you? Head on over to the ChipIn; all contributors of $10 USD or more - from the first $10 to the last - will be mailed a print of Gathering of Goddesses autographed by Lexi.

Status of different facets of Gathering of Goddesses:
Thrúd: Will probably going to do a sketch of her tonight or tomorrow.
Amora: Will probably going to do a sketch of her tonight or tomorrow. Don't need to do much; we take a lot from the Sylvie Lushton version of the Enchantress from the Young Masters.
Aphrodite: Preliminary design done.
Mórrígan: Preliminary design done.
Göndul: Her design will remain largely intact from an earlier piece of Blue Belle art. We're just going to swap the panties for brown leather pants and then design some boots for her if needed.
Kára: Will probably going to do a sketch of her tonight or tomorrow. With the joke in Blue Belle and Dansende Ekorn og Andre Dumheter being that she bears a striking resemblance to Power Girl, we're going to try and work up a design that blends the design elements of Thrúd and Göndul with classic Power Girl costuming.
Location Scouting: and I are going down to Manhattan on 10/06/2012 to visit the Irish Hunger Memorial, which will serve as the setting for the piece. The virtual tours aren't really good enough for us, so we're gonna go and wander around. Find a nice angle, ponder the positions of the characters, et cetera. Take a whooooole bunch of pictures with my 50D. Then walk over to the Hudson River, flip off New Jersey, and run away.
Gesture Sketches: Might be completed as soon as this Saturday afternoon or evening; might do these on-site or on the train home at the end of the day.
Final piece: Obviously not started yet.
