Ten questions

4 min read
I was tagged by Cherazor a while back, finally got around to answering the questions. :)

Rules:
1->You must post these rules.
2->Each person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
3->Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create ten new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4->You have to choose 10 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5->Go to their pages and tell them you have tagged her/him.
6->No tag backs.
7->No crap in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you're reading this." You legitimately have to tag 10 people.

QUESTIONS:

1. Which one's your favorite cosplay that you've worn? (If you're not a cosplayer, what character would you like to cosplay if you could? If you don't want to cosplay, you may, of course, answer that as well. )
I haven't done much cosplaying yet, but I used to dream of making an awesome costume for my troll mage from WoW. Costumes in general, I think my favourite is my fairy outfit.

2. If you only could eat one side dish (like French fries, rice, potatoes...) for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Mashed potatoes, almost definately… Almost. Maybe some nice crispy, fluffy chunky chips. Though choice.

3. Are you left handed, right handed or ambidextrous?
Extremely left handed. I'd be almost completely handicapped if I had to manage things with my right hand.

4. What's the weirdest nickname you've ever gotten?
The Witch. I haven't had many nicknames, but that one made some rounds with one of my old rpg groups.

5. What is your favorite and least favorite subjects at school?
I always had a dislike of social studies, geography and french. Art was fun, of course. History was fun as well, and swedish/english was when it came to reading and writing stuff, less so when it was grammar.

6. Do you dress up for Halloween? Do you go trick-or-treating?
The last eleven years, I've been away larping for the halloween weekend. So not the kind of dress up one would have in mind, but dressup nontheless. :)

7. If you could have ANY magical creature, what would you want?
Hmmmmmmm…. Unicorn! No, pet dragon! Nooo, gryphon! or, or… a phoenix! Ood! Wait, maybe those aren't exactly magical…. I don't know! I can't choose! D:

8. Do you cut or twirl spaghetti?
Cut. I fail at twirling and would end up with the spaghetti all over my face and shirt. XD

9. What would you do if you saw me (Cherazor) in real life?
Hug you! :D And then probably be all geeky and discuss Dr Who and stuff.

10. What would you do if you could meet your favorite fictional character?
Really, really hope that I'd get to go traveling with him. :3

Now, I shall tag the following people:
Nah, actually, I won't. I don't really do the chainletter thing. I'm such a rebel! But I'll add some questions of my own, if someone reading this feels like answering them.


My questions:

1. If you could choose to be born in any other era of history, what would you choose?

2. If, rather than an era of our history, you could choose any fictional universe, then which one would you be born in?

3. What is the very first thing you remember from when you were little?

4. Is there one type of food you could never imagine living without? which one?

5. There is a genie, and he's giving you three wishes! What are they? (no getting clever and wishing for more wishes…)

6. If you could magically learn to play a musical instrument, which would you pick?

7. If you were another gender, what would your name be?

8. You're a superhero! What are your powers and what does your costume look like?

9. What did you want to be when you grew up when you were a kid? Did you stick by that wish?

10. What is your favourite scent?

1. For each of the 10 first people answering this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like most from their gallery on the list!
2. If you answer, you have to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on the first place!!!! The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

As some of you know, I'm currently studying to become an art teacher.
To fund these studies, I have decided to open up my commissions to everyone.

--PRICES--

Standard character portrait.
Nothing exatravagant, a single character with a plain background.
Examples:
fav.me/d4mzqm0
fav.me/d3l9z0s
15€

Character sketch.
Black and white and a little less refined than the standard portraits.
Examples to come.
5€

Custom orders.
Multiple characters, complex scenes or backgrounds or anything else you might be interested in. Send me your idea and we'll discuss the price.
20-50€

An euro is at the time of writing roughly equivalent to 1,2 dollars.


--HOW TO ORDER--
You can either send a note here on dA, or an email to Aldriona at gmail.
Describe in it what type of order it is and what you want it to be of. Be detailed in your character description, or I will improvise the part left out. Include links to any reference pictures that will help you better explain what you mean. I will send you a reply and any further questions I might have.
For standard portraits, I will send you a sketch once I have it, and you can ask for any revisions that might be needed. This is when you pay me via Paypal, and next I will send over the finished drawing.
For sketches you pay up front, but are allowed to request a revision once the finished sketch is sent to you.

I do not currently have a list limiting what you can request from me, but a look at my gallery will show you what the things I normally draw are. Feel free to ask for anything though, if there is a request for something I feel is beyond my capabilities I will inform you before I start working.

My university studies has now moved on from pedagogy to art, so I'm painting and drawing on a regular basis again. And it's wonderful!

I have also gotten involved in a game project, where I'll be doing character design among other things. It will be things I don't normally draw, and a very nice challenge. That's all I'll say about it for now.

Also, I have photoshop again now. Now I just have to get used to CS4 and the slightly altered looks of it...

So, I got myself a shiny new laptop for christmas!
Finally, I'll be rid of the heat problems and my graphic card shutting down randomly while painting.
It will be awesome!

Except...
The new laptop comes with Snow Leopard. And I have the Adobe Creative Suite 3.
Which isn't supported anymore.

No Photoshop.

No art.

:tears:
