Funny story...

So blinkpinkinc responded to my earlier ask, so I went to her page tagged "me". I saw the first picture that came up, decided to draw it and rushed past the others without really looking.

For whatever reason, right after I was done I look back through your photos and realized my egregious error.

Happy Birthday poonfeyrac, I accidentally drew you. You have a fun face!

So blinkpinkinc, please send me a photo and I will try to do better next time.

Until then, have this hastily doodled rice-creature that you also had in your "me" tag.

A Humboldt squid for humboldt-squid, who I noticed was regularly answering my corny visual pun posts (correctly, no less!).

Also, the picture is sideways but my computer’s currently being finicky and not letting me change that - sorry!

I'm fooling around with charcoals, does anyone post selfies they want turned into awkward portraits?

I'm probably just going to go with the first one that (if any) comes in, fyi.
