Line-Art Line-Up

So in an effort to get more comfortable drawing tuxedos and dresses and romantic poses, I started drawing for the posters over at Weddingbee. A couple years ago I used to do something similar over at Gaia with my dear, dear friend and fellow amateur-artist-though-really-an-engineer, S. I would draw and she would then paint the lineart with her mad skills. But then I did something totally stupid and quit our "art shop". (Technically we did charge for our drawings, but only in gaia-gold, not real money.) Why did I quit? I'm not sure. My creativity tends to come in spasms. Sometimes I just really, really feel like drawing, and other times I don't feel like drawing at all. Which is a bummer, because my "skillz" take a hit everytime I go on hiatus.

But, back to the point - I'm in one of those "I must draw" moods, for the time being. (which is good considering all the drawing-related things I'm involving in the wedding.)

Here's the art queue for the thread, which I'll update as needed:

-Honeybun (done! click for the full sized image)

UPDATE 12/23:
Wow! I've made it to 20 requests! That's crazy (but I feel so loved)! Anyway, I'm going to cut the list at this point, otherwise I may burn myself out before I finish my comic! So everyone up on the list stays, but for now I won't be adding anymore...Sorry!
Update 4/24/10 - No new art 'til after my wedding in July, sorry!

And a reverse-shout-out to the amazing bloggers who have so graciously posted about my little sketches (let me know if I've missed anyone):
