Speaking of EightySixed, have you done anything about sending in a poster submission?
Like I said before if you can get them to make a Cerebella Pinup like this one I would totally buy it, no question.

Out of all of the First 8, Cerebella has the best proportions for Pinup.
I would love to submit that picture, but you have think about it from their prospective: would it see? That's how they choose designs. They choose art they they believe will sell because when it comes to things like that, they are a clothing company so they have to do what makes them money. I've submitted the Feng picture to them as a poster, the image with Cerebella holding the katana and the picture I have with my character and the Skullgirls cast (except Double). Thankfully, they do accept original characters so that gives me an edge. However, I dunno how people would feel about that, but I haven't gotten any mixed or negative responses about that picture. If this were the MLP fanbase, I'm pretty sure it'd kick in since majority of bronies and hardcore fans are anti0-human and against most crossovers.
I WOULD submit the picture I did with my character, but I used the Valentine shot from Painwheel's story and I dunno, ifI should. I't's worth a shot. However, I decided to branch out and draw the majority of the cast as much as possible so I can have a variety of character art. I can't just focus on Cerebella (even though I show it).
Back on the topic of 86d, they sent me an e-mail response last week. and I will quote it:
"Once we have these capabilities, we are going to offer a new program for artists such as yourself to submit their fan art and earn new ways of commission for their work. As you can imagine, this can open up some great possibilities for everyone.
I wanted to give you this information now, so that you understand that we absolutely love your art work, and we want to make it available to the public. And since we will have these new printing capabilities, it will not matter if your art is not digital, or any other limitations you may have. We're really looking forward to seeing a Todd Milhouse collection of posters / postcards / stickers / etc… in our store :)"

This came to be back in August when I was talking to someone named Caizen I believe. So curiosity allowed me to ask if I was EVEN eligible to submit something because I don't produce digital artwork. So I'm at a disadvantage because i'm not like Mariel, Alex and Persona. They all can Photoshop. I can't. Er- well...I can't color and i need a new laptop to practice on my Cintiq.
It's just a matter of time, and hopefully things will happen and flow in the direction I'm hoping. I just don't want to let them down. I'm trying my best. As far as future art is concerned, I want to create another shot with with all the cast + DLC included, but I dunno if I should include my oc like I did in the first one. I mean...I thought it was cute and nobody seemed to even mind. But then again she's no Zone-Tan. But things can always happen! :D
I do appreciate you and everyone else who enjoys what I do. It motivates me to keep on creating SG illustrations and it's fun!
