I would suggest if anyone wants to they ought to write one themselves. Indie publications are tricky and hey, folio piece.

I can second the warmer than expected notion.

one of the cats tries to snuggle in with them when it's cold.. she can get away with it if the chooks are asleep, if they are awake she gets chased out

28 Aug 05:20

Punk-A-Cat

and they are very soft, nice to hug

birds generally have a higher body temperature than mammals, so they feel really warm

28 Aug 05:18

Punk-A-Cat

I have 7 of them in the back yard :D

Punk-A-Cat

mhm, I have such a soft spot for chooks, my parents have one who they rescued from a dog mauling, and it comes to you for cuddles

28 Aug 05:17

Punk-A-Cat

I illustrated a kids book about chickens

28 Aug 05:16

Punk-A-Cat

Yep

28 Aug 05:16

Olooriel

have you done any illustration work before?

28 Aug 05:15

Punk-A-Cat

yup, sadly so, the ink and watercolour side of it would be fine, if they were paying more I'd get someone else to do the sketches, but eh

28 Aug 05:14

meat

Then you probably have your answer already.

28 Aug 05:14

Punk-A-Cat

Yeah, and my people drawing is very weak, if she was asking for animals itd be fine

28 Aug 05:14

meat

But if you think you have a good enough shot at getting this done, challenge yourself.

if you can't do it, don't dent your reputation

this is the brief - It tells a story of a girl who has such a beautiful mind that flowers grow from her head (instead of hair). She must be beautiful and elegant, even though she is probably only seven or eight. She should wear a white dress to symbolize purity, and her strands of flowers should be detailed. As well, she should be relatively pale, with blue eyes and blonde hair.

Punk-A-Cat

I don't know if I can do it.. if it would be easy, then I'd do it as a one use license and have the images in my portfolio, but I really don't people draw well, and children are darn hard to get the simplicity required on the face

Can you do it? Do you want to do it? Because it sounds like the pay is minuscule enough that it doesn't even qualify as a concern anymore.
