keep my eyes to serve and hands to learn

THE FINAL FRONTIER

...that sky expanded before me, — a blue sea absolved from taint of cloud; the moon ascending it in solemn march; her orb seeming to look up as she left the hilltops... and for those trembling stars that followed her course; they made my heart tremble, my veins glow when I viewed them. Little things recall us to earth: the clock struck in the hall; that sufficed; I turned from the moon and stars, opened a side door, and went in.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

And FINALLY, after WEEKS of work, my second request Moleskine notebook!

So much trouble this one gave me, and for three very good reasons. I consider myself very challenged at drawing the following things:

  1. Hands
  2. People actually touching each other
  3. Sarah Michelle Gellar’s face.

This notebook request, Domestic Spuffy, included all three of those things in complete extent—there were FOUR HANDS HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS. If there had been feet, I might has well have given up. In the end, however, I’m really quite pleased with it, minus the nit-picky things here and there. And more importantly, I learned that Georges Jeanty’s Buffy has infiltrated my head more than I had thought.

Anyway—after many hours of toil, here it is! I really hope the requestee likes it, and I can’t wait till she gets it.

(Caitlin… this means yours is next!!!)

Edit: I’m not really sure why the resolution on this is so bad—I may go back and try to tweak the settings on the pictures. Looks better now!
