| 8 Feb 2008 | MermaidLover28 | Do you draw mermaids and mermen?  Jessica Barnes replies: "On occasion. I’m not taking any free requests just at the moment, though, because my free time is rather non-existent. But thanks for dropping by!" | |
| 18 Feb 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Do you mean in June or July 2008 for free quests for two sea/healing gods?  Jessica Barnes replies: "Probably early to mid-July. I’ll have fewer classes around then." | |
| 22 Feb 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | When can I give you the descriptions? Can post then on here?  Jessica Barnes replies: "Yep. Here is fine." | |
| 30 Apr 2008 | Jessica Barnes | So, it’s not letting me reply to the above comment with the reply function... Here goes, instead:
"How long does it take you to draw?"
It really depends on the picture. The Phoebe mermaid on this account probably took me five hours or so, but the "We Finally Meet" I did for a friend took a great deal longer. I know that’s rather nonspecific, but it’s not exactly a science.  Fanart and requests usually take me longer, because I have trouble relating to/drawing characters I didn’t make up myself. | |
| 6 May 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | I do like the mermaid phoebe’s tail. Can my two characters have one like that? Happy May 5th.  Jessica Barnes replies: "Gah! My comment-reply function is still all screwed up... But anyway, yeah, sure." | |

but ya  Jessica Barnes replies: "Heh. Woot for the Jessica Barneses!" | |
| 22 May 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | What day of July do you want me to put the descriptions on here?
 Jessica Barnes replies: "Any day is good. It may take me a little while to get to it, but having the descriptions can’t hurt." | |

@MermaidLover 2728:
The comment-reply function once again is refusing to work, here, and won’t let me respond directly to any of your comments (it just deletes them). But this is what I’ve got so far, just to consolidate:
"Leilani had thick curly black hair. Her eyes changed with her mood from Sapphire, Jade and Hazel. Her tail is bluish-green. Leilani had high cheek bones and a beautiful nose and her necklace was made of sea jewels and 2 sapphires and a small jade trident pendent. Merrick had thick curly black short hair. His eyes are hazel. His tail is greenish-blue. His has high cheek bones and a square-jawed face. Leilani’s face is oval. Merrick’s necklace has an abalone seashell.
Leilani’s hair is down to her hips.
Leilani wears a tunic.
Merrick’s nose is like Orlando Bloom’s the actor.
Leilani has olive skin and Merrick has bronze skin."

| 13 Jul 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | I have changed the names of the characters and they are Leilani and Merrick. The descriptions of the characters have not changed. Are you going to put the pre-drawing up or not? When it is done? Can the tittle be Leilani and Merrick?
Have a wonderful day. Thank you again.  Jessica Barnes replies: "Check on the name change. I’ll title the final version "Leilani and Merrick" over in my SF&F gallery when it’s up, and I’ll give you a heads up here, too. If it takes me awhile to get the drawing finished after I’ve sketched it out, I’ll post it, but if it looks like I’ll finish the picture before the sketch has time to post, I’ll probably just post the finished version, since otherwise I’ll have to wait for the ticket lock to expire.
