Me and Serenity had got to talking. She said she likes to write..and I admitted I enjoy writing too. But drawing is my passion. I told her I would show her some pieces I've done so I am going to post a few of the past and present favorites  ;D Alot of them are female because I like to draw my own characters.

^ Uh..Yeah. One of my roleplay characters in her secondary form. I am tinkering with colors on it ^^;

^ Uncolored and Uninked. Also not exactly touched up so there are alot of..errors that will be fixed in the future.

^Cut piece from the top. Tinkering with 'flowing hair' extensions and whatnot.

^Last one I will post. Um..This is an admin's character from one of the free servers of Lineage II I GMed for. Unfortunately the server was one of the few experiences I did not enjoy GMing for.
			
			
			
				Mirage, they are really good.  I love your kitten and Serenity pictures but I think my fav is the second one down.  You are very talented and Thank you for sharing with me.  :)
			
			
			
				Wow those are fantastic! do you take commissions ;)
			
			
			
				So umm.. wanna draw a sexy picture of Thane for me so I can have a sig again?   ;D
			
			
			
				I am not sure if I am allowed to take commission for my artwork here Mana.
I'd do yours thane but I want to do the whole siggy while I am at it. 
			
			
			
				Excellent artwork Mirage!  Love it!

				Thank you Fae  :D
I am going to see what her ladyship says and maybe I will start doing art for commission work. RL or IG money..etc etc.
			
			
			
				Now pray tell Mirage, who is her ladyship? 
			
			
			
				Why Acacia of course!
			
			
			
				And for Thane...Due to the way he leans and how big it was I wasn't able to use the full thing for his tag. His tag..well..is in his PMs. It will depend on him if he wants to use it.

				But of course and a wonderful Ladyship she is to all of us.   :)
			
			
			
				I have been informed that I am allowed to do artwork for commission for both IRL and IG money. The staff will not assist in advertising or help in any way which I understand. I originally didn't say that I did commission because like I said, I respect the staff and shard that I would not do such. Hence I asked permission.
If you are interested feel free to PM me IG or leave a message here for me and we will talk business :) 
			
			
			
				*chuckles* Okay so I did manamanas. Get ready for the teddybear from h-e-double hockey stick!

				These are truly excellent, but please try very hard to keep them in the size requirement we have requested of 400x200.    Several of these are over that amount.... but truly beautiful.
			
			
			
				Aren't I the cutest widdle thang? ;), you did such a great job thankyou so much 
			
			
			
				My apologizes Lady Acacia.  Are you speaking of the tags or the picture themselves? The tags I can fix to meet that requirement. Again my apologizes.

				Actually Tomb that would be me..not serenity. They where to show serenity *giggles*
Lookie guys! I been trying my hand at 3d stuff while i am sick. presenting Mirage!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Sedda/mirage-1.jpg)
			
			
			
				That's neat. The hair colour is awesome.
			
			
			
				Oooh, nice! I've tried my hand at 3d model art in the past and I admire anyone who can do it well. For some reason, I find working with 3d-modeling programs hair-pullingly frustrating.
On occassion I still use poser to set up complicated poses/lighting to sketch 2d drawings from, though.
But I'm getting off the subject which is that you rock  ;D
			
			
			
				I'd LOVE to get my hand on poser *eye twitches* if it wasn't 300$!!!
			
			
			
				To get started on poser, try looking around for older versions. When I got my copy I bought a version called "Artists Version" or something along those lines. It was pretty much just Poser4. (Don't remember what version they were up to at the time but 4 was an older version) and it only ran me about $50.
			
			
			
				Mirage (new and improved!) and Niima! Woot! (I am getting better at the 3d stuff!). I made this one in link form cause..well..it's pretty big  :D :P

				mmm very nice! can u do one for me ? =) Gandor/Ignatious?
			
			
			
				Sure. Right now I am waiting on some stuff for Thane's birthday picture
Do you want a 3d or pencil/pen piece?
			
			
			
				3D looks awesome...its an eye catcher  ;D
Many thanks M'lady
			
			
			
				Wow, I had no clue how talented the Lady of Purrs truely was. Your art work is fabulous, and I love to see more of it. My sig feels so empty in compairison to the ones you have done for everyone else. I am in awe, of the work you do. Your style is rough, but your direction and capturing the scene/emotion is an amazing talent.
Again, my appreciation goes out to you, oh Lady of Purrs.
			
			
			
				Awesome! Very very beautiful! I really should have looked at chit chat before today O.o
I'd so love one done... but, I have something specifically in mind, so I'll PM you at some point :P
These are absolutely stunning. I thought the 3D models you told Seter and I about were awesome, but I actually like some of the hand drawings better. Not as 3D, granted, but they look so... full of your spirit :D It really looks like you pour yourself into your drawings. They're wonderful! :D
			
			
			
				Niima reminds me of Halle Berry as Catwoman. 
			
			
			
				Never had anyone call my artwork 'rough' before. But I guess it's to be expected. Not like i went to school for any of it XD all self taught. Anywho you all are too kind for your words and they definitely do encourage me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 
*giggles* I just realized Khana is kinda right. Guess that's what I get for going for the feline~ish look  :D :D
			
			
			
				I think they are wonderful as always Mirage.  I have not seen anything I have not enjoyed by you.
