In this case Lupis did an avatar of my main for me - I'm not using it anymore unfortunately, but I'm pretty sure it's on her deviantart. :P
Crazy art terminology 101!: Two or more artists working on a picture together is a
collaboration. :D An
art trade is when you draw something for someone and get art in return. A
commission is when you draw something for someone and get
payment(usually monetary) in return. A
request or 'fanart' as it's commonly called(although the term isn't really correct) is when you draw something for someone and get nothing in return.
Trying to drag myself out of a downer mood. As happy as I am over having a boyfriend at all, he lives all the way in New York. And me...I'm on the other side of the country. The soonest I'll be able to visit him might be in September if money works out right, but even then it's only for a few days. Maybe not even that.
Ideally I'd love to just fly over and spend a few days up there, maybe a week, but the closest relatives I have are in Pennsylvania and it'd be absurd to ask to stay with his family out of nowhere.
At least our ponies can cuddle.
