Update from Meeks

[ysabetwordsmith]

  meeks (who is meeksp on LiveJournal) has updated her status.  She is back from hiatus and accepting sketch prompts again.  Creative folks and readers are encouraged to offer prompts.  Donors, there's a tip button on each sketch post so you can throw something in the artist's hat (which I note now shows that cute little white-eared hat from her icon).

She is presently at work on "Dragons Next Door" which relates to the writing of aldersprig.

Currently tied for most linkbacks are the previous sketches "Rin" (also by aldersprig) and "Without Fail" (a Torn World story that I wrote).  The picture that gets the most linkbacks will get more work done on it; this is a monthly contest to reward people for activity.

Next project will be a new sketch inspired by my poem "Shine On."  Woohoo!  Please watch for that one to pop up so you can comment on it.  Enough comments on a sketch will also get it refined in more detail.

I'm really looking forward to seeing her art for Shine On!

Yay!

I'm happy to hear that.

For the scene, I picked two verses near the end, where Shahana opens her hand to reveal the fallen star blazing with light. I figured that was a good photogenic scene, and I really like what I've seen meeks do with the contrast of light and shadow in other sketches.

That sounds really pretty.

I'm pondering requesting something from my Stranded World series, but it's so colourful, it's hard to condense into a B&W drawing.

Hmm...

Yeah, I wouldn't submit something that really relies on color to a project that works in monochrome. But meeks does the Sketch Fest run by Ellen Million fairly often, and for that project, she seems to favor working in color. Sketch Fest prompts can't be assigned to a specific artist, but maybe you could talk with meeks about this; she might be willing to watch for a prompt from you in that venue. She seems to like your work, and has certainly done a gorgeous job of illustrating it so far.
