Mark's art for Shelter page

Wow, that looks great!

I've donated £40 + gift aid, sending you a Trust message now :)

'Paper' wedding anniversary is soon, this will do nicely!
 
That's amazing, elmarko! I don't know if you'd want a request from me though, as it'd be another boring daughter subject!

Glad you like it mate :).

Came out better than I expected (almost ruined it with a slip of the black ink while touching it up at the very end (I swore very loudly!) - but managed to work it into the picture without it standing out! (phew!).

I'll be nipping it in the post over the next couple of days for you.

I've done a few requests like those so far, so I don't mind doing them really (but it's a little harder to get defined features/contrast on young kids due to them having much softer features).

Dark hair helps a tonne!, but I'm happy to give it a try.

I've got a couple of requests in waiting which I'll get done first (also playing around sculpting with zbrush 4 which is eating my time!)

With that last donation that puts me at £480.00 (+£107 gift-aid) (96% to target), pleased so far as it's only cost me about £200 in postage & materials (stupid pens are expensive!)

In that case I'll ask wifey-woo if there's a snap she likes. What pens do you use?

Wow - that Porchse is awesome!

Going to see if I can find something for you to do :D Does it have to be quite a monotone picture?

Edit: No, obviously it doesn't looking at some of the ones you've done.

Mark, did you ever get the follow ups to my original email? I replied to yours but got nothing, wasn't sure if my address got through any filters on your email? Ta!

Looks interesting, should work in theory (will just have to play around & familiarise myself with the pattern).

The reference photo looks good - I'll see if I can find a higher resolution version of it when I get home, you've got plenty of time to think about it as I've got a couple in the works at the mo!.

Mark,
I know you're busy but did you get my email last week? Just want to know you've had it.
Cheers.

Hi Mate, yeah I got it - forwarded it home to reply to later tonight (only have access to OCUK addy during the week!) - but yeah I'm open to doing an A4 as a one off.

What kind of thing you after?
 
Ah right cheers Mark.

ill await you're reply and respond later on, easier to discuss via email rather than clog this thread up.

A3 is the norm isn't it? Don't think i mentioned anything about A4, unless you can only do one of them...
