Decisions Decisions

Please help me pick top two options from the following photos of these Nancy headshots I snapped on Sunday. I hope to commission a drawing of one or more of them to add to the two I had done of Kika to adorn the walls of my new flat.

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

#7

#8

#9

#10

I was lucky enough to have been able to commission the following ones of Kika a few years back. Now I want to get some made of Nancy so they can both be equally represented on my walls. I am not an artist so these may not even be good angles/quality photos to work from but they are a start...


LINK - to post with the oroginal photo this was drawn from

LINK - to diff post but for same reason
Also if anyone has any recommendations for Sketch Artists who would send a commissioned piece to Europe - I'm all ears as I have sadly lost the contact details for the wonderful artist who created Kika's drawings. :-(


So which two Nancy headshots would you choose?

    I've been looking at doing this for Phoenix since I have one of Stampy already (got it before P came back into my life). The one person I found on Etsy that I will likely use says that they want multiple shots to do the drawing. So maybe provide them all and just a general direction of how you want her facing in it. Are you going to have it done so she doesn't have anything on her in the drawing?

      Oooh can you maybe email me any contact info or a link to the person you found through etsy?
      I don't mind whether she has a headcollars or not. K has a pic with & without so i figure why not do the same for N...but ultimately I'm not an artist and cannot imagine how easy/hard/intricate such things might be so would leave such decisions at their discretion ☺

    All are cute but I think 8 9 10 have a cute expression and nice forelock poof.

      I love those too, well i love them all really, but i do particularly love her expression in those ones.
      I don't know how easy her forelock poof will be to recreate. Plus I've only just noticed that a bit in the middle seems to have caught somewhere & looks like a bit of a "bald" patch which she didn't have in the first two pictures that were taken a few minutes earlier *blush*

    I like the last few, and agree - maybe provide a few to the artist rather than just one

      That's a good idea to help them get a fellow for her and/or capture some more of her essence ;-)

      Another good one ☺
      There is also something I like about the angle of #3, even if she is giving me exasperated side-eye

    If I were drawing it, I would want to draw #8. The person I would recommend is Alyssa of Four Mares No Money. She's amazing!

      Great to hear what those who can draw would go for. I haven't a clue as don't have an artistic bone in my body!
      Will deff scope out Alyssa and see if she might take a couple commissions

    I like the last couple ones as well! But you know her the best and which one captures her personality. 3 isn't even in my top 5 picks, but it would be kinda cool to have the side one to match your side one of Kika... if you care about things like that... I like everything to be matchy-matchy.

      Her gentle calmness & patience with me is capture in all of them - i don't mind them not being matchy-matchy with the drawings of Kika
      Out of curiosity, which are your top picks? ☺

    I like #10 but they all make her look so sweet

      She is a sweetheart so capturing her sweetness is easy even on crappy camera phone pics
