ambigrams!

[mercat]

I would ask if you are not coming here from livelongnmarry to not click the cut because I am using photobucket and I don't want my bandwidth to die. Thanks =)

disclaimer: this is my art; if you didn't pay for it, you can't use it. end of discussion.

First off I would like to apologize for taking so long. A combination of bad luck plus me being a terrible procrastinator is not good. HOWEVER, the rough drafts are finished and assuming they aren't all completely terrible ;P I should be able to send out the final copies in two weeks. And this time I mean it because I am leaving for the summer and though I am a procrastinator that would just be not cool. Also, I've learned that doing something with art as a hobby means I need to get better scheduled. But my roommate hooked me up to Gmail calendar and To Do list, and that is saving my butt and getting me in gear. ;D So consider yourselves the first successful test projects!

Anyway! Here they are; please have a look and tell me:
1) if there is something you don't like about it, or something you want changed
2) if it is okay, how big you want the final version to be (up to 8.5x11", roughly)
3) where you would like me to send it. If you ONLY want a digital copy of the final version, that's fine. If you want a hard copy, that's fine too! =) After you let me know what you want, I will send you an email so you can send me your address if you want a hard copy so you don't have to post it in a public comment. =)

Also I apologize for the wonkiness of the ones with lines that don't line up. Since these were drafts they are one half drawn by hand then rotated and attached.

^let me know what you think about the border on this one... I like how it turned out, but if you want something bigger that goes around the whole design rather than reflecting over the halfway point, just let me know what you had in mind. =)

Faith, Hope, and Love for dragovianknight


Jennifer for jrho

This one I can make a little flowier if you want, but I rather like how it turned out. So whatever works for you! =)

Love for marginaliana

I can do this with more solid or just with outline, whichever you prefer.

storyteller for telesilla

This one I can try to make a bit more flowy, but the letters were kind of wonky. So let me know what you think =)

Once again, so many apologies! I hope you like them, and if not tell me what you don't like and I will have at it. It's really easy to change how things line up, too--if you think it looks odd the way it is and want it slanted more or less, let me know.

Thanks for supporting the cause, too! =)

IMPORTANT UPDATE, 25 May 2009: I am currently without computer access until mid-August, and if any comments/messages are left in the meantime I will get back to them as soon as possible. If the situation is more urgent, my friend astrid087 here on LJ may be able to help you out (getting in contact or whatnot). =)

I like how mine turned out.

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Great! Do you want just a digital copy, or do you want a hard copy? And where would you like me to send it? =)

[jrho.livejournal.com]

I would love for you to mail me a hard copy. If you could email me at jrho.jrho at gmail dot com, I will send you my address.

[marginaliana]

Ooh, I like mine! I like that it's not super slanted and the mix of double and single lines. I'm happy with just a digital copy - the email is marginaliana [at] hotmail.com. Thanks again!

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Awesome! How big do you want it to be?

[marginaliana]

On the fairly small end - maybe 2 inches long? It's going to be one of a couple possibilities for a wrist tattoo. :D

[ismenetruth.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's absolutely lovely. I love the way the R looks, in particular. If you can email me at ismene[dot]truth[at]gmail[dot]com, I'll send you my address so you can mail me a hard copy, if that's okay. And once I get the ink done, I'll totally send you a picture of it, if you want it for a portfolio or anything.

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Oh my god I'm so glad you like it! I get nervous with letters that are reflective over themselves and aren't something easy like an "s" or a "n"... The first one I ever did like that was a "v" and it looked awful. =( I think this one turned out a lot better though!

How big would you like it to be?

[ismenetruth.livejournal.com]

Oh, um, definitely small - a couple of inches across? It's for a wrist tat, so...

[summerborn.livejournal.com]

Oooh, this is so nifty! I love the outline-look you've got going on, and it's so nice to be able to see all the art you did :). Digital version is fine for me - any size is fine, so the larger the better I guess. summerborn (at) livejournal.com should get it there!
