Description
ACEO forPart of for the month of September.
Alternately titled, "I Dreamt I Held the Moon."
Work-in-progress shots:
She was supposed to have an ankh necklace which I (unfortunately) forgot when I inked the drawing - so sorry, ~Alassa !
I did suggest the chain, but the ankh itself is impossible to see, so... we can pretend it's hidden in her thick chest fur, yes? 
I finished this one very quickly because I am aware of how much time (or rather, how little) I'll have in the future. I needed to cram it into the weekend. But, by no means, does that mean I'll be skimping out on the effort put into the card!
Finally got some of my acrylic paints back, so I incorporated them into this card. Due to the character's colors, this is virtually a monochromatic piece, but I've enhanced some things with pearlescent paint. Her eye shines, and the moon and its glow are pearlescent. It's impossible to tell this from the scan. Also, the COLORS! Agh! Scanners hate blue and red. I know this. Yet I insist on using mostly blue on this card!
I've tweaked the colors the best I could so they are accurate, but they don't do the real card justice. I think I shall be sad to part with this card. I'm personally quite pleased with it... and I hope you will be too, ~Alassa .Alassa's Part:
-----
About 3 hours. Berol Prismacolor pencils, Pigma Micon pens (.005, .01, .02), and acrylic paint (white, pearlescent) on Bristol Vellum 2.5" x 3.5"

Love the lighting. I would have butchered something like that in pencils.

Oh my ... o____o
This. Is. Absolutely. Amazing!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You were really quick! o___o And it looks awesome. I love the moon. And I love the moon even more now when It's in my hands. >8D The ankh is okay. n_n I don't think it would be visible from this point of view anyway.
I can't wait to see it in person! X3
And I should go and draw your card now! I'm not sure about my future free time either. =/ I hope I'm going to draw and finish it by next week. n_n

I'm so glad you like it!
I had so much fun working on it. I really enjoy drawing these ACEOs, which probably helps with some of my speed. 
Yeah, I figured that with the ankh. Nonetheless, I figured the chain should at least be suggested through her fur.

Aww, I wish I could see the real thing, especially if this doesn't do it justice! 
Would you have time to finish a sketch commission before you get super-busy? I'm in mid-design of my character for you to draw but if you're gonna be busy from here on out, I'll probably hold off till you get some time again. Otherwise, I'll try to finish the design and send you a note tomorrow if you'd still have time to work on it.

Depending on what kind of sketch you want, it'll only take be between 1-3 hours to complete. My semester isn't too intense just yet, and I should be able to fit it into a weekend among everything else. So it should get done in a reasonable amount of time - and if it doesn't, I won't ask for payment 'til I've actually started.

Okay. Expect a note from me shortly then.

Ah, just sent it. Hopefully the design works...I'm kind of just guessing on half of it.
