| 14 Aug 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Thank you. Have you written any mermaid poems before?  Jessica Barnes replies: "You’re welcome. And no. I don’t do poems." | |
| 21 Aug 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Are Leilani and Merrick beautiful? | |
| 21 Aug 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Do you know what day you will put Leilani and Merrick on here?  Jessica Barnes replies: "I just put in a ticket (on 8/25), so they should be posted sometime this week." | |
| 22 Aug 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | I hope you made it home okay. Will the two characters be up on September 1?  Jessica Barnes replies: "Yep, made it home okay. I’ll have them posted by Sep 1; just got to finish up some background bits. EDIT: I put a ticket in today (8/25), so they should be posted in my Sci-fi/Fantasy gallery sometime this week." | |
| 25 Aug 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Please put Leilani and Merrick up so I can look at them.  Jessica Barnes replies: "I will, I will. Just as soon as they’re finished. Chill a bit, okay?" | |
| 25 Aug 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Do you know what the background look like? Thank you again.  Jessica Barnes replies: "You can see for yourself, since they’re up in my Sci-fi/Fantasy gallery now." | |
| 26 Aug 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Can I have the descriptions back to improve on them?  Jessica Barnes replies: "Here’s what I got:
Leilani:
Thick, curly black hair that falls down to her hips. Her eyes change with her mood, shifting between sapphire, jade, and hazel. Her tail is bluish-green. She has high cheekbones and a beautiful nose, and wears a necklace made of sea jewels and two sapphires. She also wears a small jade trident pendent over her tunic. Her face is oval. She has olive skin.
Merrick:
Thick, curly black hair. Short. His eyes are hazel, and his tail greenish-blue. His has high cheekbones and a square-jawed face, and wears a necklace with an abalone shell. His nose is like Orlando Bloom’s. He has bronze skin.
They’re husband and wife, and both have too-feathered brows." | |
| 27 Aug 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Leilani’s tail is blue instead of bluish-green and Rick’s tail is green instead of greenish-blue.  Jessica Barnes replies: "...Sorry, but I don’t really have the time or inclination to change the picture further. I did the request, as was. If you want to change it further, more power to you--you’re welcome to save Leilani and Merrick to your own computer and play with them all you want. " | |
| 30 Aug 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Do you also draw maps?  Jessica Barnes replies: "Not on request, since it’s such a time-consuming process. But they’re not terribly difficult to draw yourself--just remember that land rarely comes in a straight, smooth line. " | |
| 29 Oct 2008 | MermaidLover2728 | Can I use the picture that you did for me?  Jessica Barnes replies: "Oh, of course! It’s all yours. (I’d appreciate art credit if you happen to post it somewhere, but the characters are obviously yours.)" | |
