The cherry blossoms are blooming right now.

This is probably one of the things I miss the most of Japan.

I wonder… When will I be able to see them again?

Hello! My name is Leslie!

Today my mother told me she would stop giving me money for a month or so because apparently I am a terrible daughter. I have a college to go to and my professional practice in a school at the other side of the city, so I need that money badly. No one else can help me economically anymore and I have no idea about what else to do.

Therefore I am opening commission requests.

I can do basically anything you want me to. Close-ups, groups or whatever you fancy (Except probably Mecha and Anthro, but that’s it).

Here are some samples of my work (and tentative prices):

• Ink Pen Lineart 5$ (1$ the additional character)

  

• Ink Pen Lineart and Pencil 7$ (1$ the additional character)

• Ink Pen Lineart and Color Pencils 10$ (2$ the additional character)

• Digital Smooth Lineart 8$ (2$ the additional character)

• Digital (not so smooth) Lineart and Simple Colors 7$ (2$ the additional character)

• Digital Lineart and Color with Shading 12$ (3$ the additional character)

• Color Sketches 5$ (1$ the additional character)

Hey! That’s a lot of pairings right there! I enjoy making couples, so you can ask for that too!

Actually you can go here or here to see more samples of my drawings, so you can choose the one you like!

My mail of contact and my paypal e-mail is ljflorezl@gmail.com.

Please, even if you can’t afford it, I’d be really grateful of you reblogging/sharing this.

Thank you very much for your attention.

神籬 (Divine Fence)

Himorogi are sacred spaces or altars used for worship. In their simplest form, they are square areas with green bamboo at the corners. These support sacred ropes decorated with shide. Nowadays, they are mostly seen in construction sites, where after use they stand for a while before actual work begins. They are built for a Shinto priest who comes to bless the site during the ground-breaking ceremony.
