Lyn, what ARE you doing (signal boost for inexpensive art commishes)

If you were wondering “Lyn, why are you blathering about character descriptions AGAIN?” well, herminion has a post offering sketches for LJ tokens ($2/sketch).

And, ah, you can’t buy less than $5 of tokens.

She already drew me a pic of Belfreja.

Rough Description, Miryam

Miryam has a Meez!

Miryam is a petite girl, barely topping 5 foot tall, with full lips and a generous smile. She generally wears the corkscrew curls of her hair pulled back from her face and down to her shoulder blades in the back.

She’s a buxom, hippy girl, with a body shape sometimes described as coke-bottle: full, high breasts, very narrow waist, and full hips.

Her wings are similar to a luna moth’s:

(warning: moth picture); she has two antennae (also green), similar to this or this (warning: moth picture on the second link) The antennae come out over her ears, near the curve of her skull

She tends to wear halter-necked or very-low-backed shirts to accommodate the wings, and short skirts because she likes them: a dress like this or a skirt like this with a top like this.

Wylie, More description

Full description, including personality here

Wylie is a middling-heighted boy (5’9”) with middling-brown hair and a middling build, with average grades and an average athletic ability. On paper, he is an entirely ordinary fifteen-year-old boy.

Physically, he’s pale-skinned and freckles, with blue eyes and pouty lips (not that he pouts much), still out-growing his baby fat in face and stomach, and tends towards plain t-shirts and loose-fitting jeans, or, when his mother has been fussing, plain button-down shirts and loose-fitting khakis. If he has to engage in a sport, he prefers lacrosse.

He has coyote ears in place of his human ears, in generally the same position as his human ears were, and a fluffy coyote tail http://www.allwildlifecontrol.com/images/coyote-3.jpg.

Quick Belfreja description

Bel is a lovely girl in her late teens.

Her face shape and hair color are most like this girl – http://www.flickr.com/photos/barbiesland/galleries/72157627139478514/#photo_4893086879

She’s not a petite girl; she’s not remotely heavy, but she’s got Viking ancestry on both sides. Her shoulders are wide, and her chest is full (and perky).

Her hair style is rather like this – http://www.gallery.becomegorgeous.com/long_hairstyles/long_vintage_waves_hairstyle-4136.html

She’s sporting a dress like this – http://lisafremontpages.blogspot.com/2010/07/diamonds-and-damesepisode-11-laura.html

She might be carrying a fedora, though no worries if it doesn’t work in the picture.

SHe’s probably not wearing it, because she’s got ram horns (smaller than this – http://www.superstock.com/stock-photos-images/463-3115 – the best picture I can find for size/placement is this: http://tamara-hawk.deviantart.com/art/Maria-76412852

And she’s smiling, looking off-screen.

Excerpt 7 today – from “Prisoners 6 & 23”

Prisoners 6 & 23 is an erotic, BD/SM serial I am pondering creating. It’s set in the dark underbowels of Tír na Cali.

She started to lose her tentative hold on consciousness. “No!” she tried to shout, but all that came out was a tiny puff of air. She thought, maybe, the whiteness in front of her face fogged up, but that could have been her imagination.

She faded back into the nightmare, her feet pounding on the pavement but never getting away.

Excerpt 6 today – from a Space Pirates story

From a project I’m working on for a friend; in the same setting as the Space Accountant stories.

And that was the last of the signals. There were times Lind and her partner paid buckets of cash for what they were about to do, and times they were paid in bucketloads; there were times they just used their sidearms and quick wit and no money crossed hands at all.

Are these excerpts causing anyone enjoyment?

Excerpt 5 this morning: Doom and Madness

From a story I’m writing for submission!

“Profit and doom. Doom and madness.” She thought she could smell the fumes, wafting up from an infinitely deep hole of acid. She thought she could taste the way they were coloring her mind. The first to go would be practicality. The animal instincts would go last.

Excerpt 4 tonight: from Addergoole: Year 9 (the serial)

From my upcoming serial, Addergoole: Year Nine (52 Weeks, 52 Stories).

Some of them liked to pretend they didn’t. Some tried to say it was all the students’ choice, and they mustn’t do anything at all to influence it, even think about it. Some said let nature take its course.

Shira had been a hunter, a trapper, long before she’d been a teacher.

Excerpt 3 tonight: from the secret project

From a project I’m working on, in my Tir na Cali setting. (landing page – http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/22621.html)

Content warning: discusses kidnapping and enslavement.

“Look at it this way.” The woman was too damn calm about everything. And smiling. She was having fun, the bitch. “You can’t escape. You can’t do anything about what’s going to happen. All you can do is cooperate and smile for the buyers. And you’ll do that easier if you’re rested.
