**Disclaimer**
-I will draw well known characters, as well as original characters. But please keep in mind my art style; the beings I draw are humanoid in design, please do not ask me to draw things like a transformer, furry, my little pony, or a mercedes benz.
-If you select a character that isn’t from the Kuroshitsuji universe, be prepared to supply me with ample links to pictures for character reference. The same goes for OCs, a lot of info will be needed.
-I retain artistic license: “The freedom to create an artwork on the artist’s interpretation.” Meaning, you are welcome to suggest a pose etc.. but if it just isn’t working out, or if I think another pose/angle/composition/look etc.. would be better, then I will do it that way instead.
-Please keep in mind that I am a -very slow- artist, and it may take me forever to complete your piece, but I won’t forget about you. — Likewise if you see me working on other projects instead of yours, it doesn’t mean I have scrapped yours. Sometimes I juggle many things at a time :)

Good Luck!

Memorial Day-Remembering The Forgotten: Confederate Soldiers Who Died at Gettysburg

One of the unfortunate aspects of the Battle of Gettysburg was the way the Confederate dead were handled. Unless buried by their own, the dead were carelessly buried in a shallow graves, with just enough dirt to cover the bodies. The Confederates laid on Gettysburg battlefield for more than 10 years before being moved back to their home states in the South.

A human life, I think, should be well rooted in some area of native land where it may get the love of tender kinship from the earth, for the labors men go forth to, for the sounds and accents that haunt it, for whatever will give that early home a familiar unmistakable difference amidst the future widening of knowledge. The best introduction to astronomy is to think of the nightly heavens as a little lot of stars belonging to one’s own homestead.
