<span style="font-weight:bold">Ending Date: Sept. 6th 2008</span><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Reason:</span><br>September 6th will be my second year anniversary of being with my boyfriend. The first year anniversary was drawn by me, and I'm not completely proud of how it turned out, so this year I'm making an attempt to bribe the artists of VP into helping with this.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">The Akita</span><br>The akita is meant to represent my boyfriend, Vincent. He is an akita because it's one, my favorite breed, and two, as much as he'd like to deny it, he resembles the breed.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">The Personality</span><br>Vincent is quite the mix of personalities. Usually he enjoys showing off, making jokes (usually of bad humor), and in general being social. He's <span style="font-style:italic">extremely</span> protective of me, nearly to the point of possessiveness, but he's still very loving and urges me to find my own path. He likes to poke fun at me, and sometimes this does get me upset, but I get over it and we both laugh about it later on. He's also very affectionate, and there doesn't go a day that we spend together that we don't end up clinging to each other at least for a little while.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">The Pose</span><br>I'd like him to either be standing protectively near the shepherd, curled up near by, poking at the shepherd... Read the personality and try your best to put it into canine form.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">The Accessories</span><br>Vincent used to wear a necklace I bought him, but he's afraid he's going to break it, so he just keeps it in his pocket now. It's a <a href="http://www.healingcrystals.com/images/labradorite_crystal_wand.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">'wand' shaped</a> crystal connected to a black cord. The gem is black and green- black towards the bottom, green towards the top.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">The Build</span><br>Slightly chubby, but also muscular.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">The Australian Shepherd</span><br>The Australian shepherd is made to represent myself. It is my boyfriend's favorite breed of dog, and I've been said to resemble it in one way or another as well.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">The Personality</span><br>I'm really shy and self-conscious. I've been told people instantly sort me into one of three categories- attractive, scary, or weird. I don't like to talk a lot in real life, and I'm stubborn and pretty close minded when it comes to trying new things. I also tend to be extremely clingy and naive, and also manipulative and snappish. I can either be really hyper or really calm, really active or really lazy. It just varies day to day.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">The Pose</span><br>It all depends on the pose you draw the akita in.<br>If Protective: Draw the shepherd as shy and/or submissive.<br>If Curled Up: Draw the shepherd either also curled up, laying on top of (partially or fully. xD He makes a good pillow.) or poking at the akita.<br>If Poking At: Draw the shepherd batting at him playfully or looking as if she's squirming away<br>Otherwise, just read the personality and take a guess. xD<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">The Accessories:</span><br>The first thing Vincent gave me was a chain necklace of flowers, like <a href="http://schulzjewelry.com/images/N1010101 (Medium).JPG" target="_blank" class="bb-url">this one</a>, only made of many flowers connecting with each other, rather than links.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">The Build</span><br>Very very thin. I'm a good twenty pounds underweight (but my body functions naturally- my doctor says it's just because I'm naturally built tiny) and I have been told (rather complained at) that I'm wiry.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">The Sizes</span><br>Vincent's taller than me by at least five inches, and he's quite a bit heavier than I am.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">The Background</span><br>Transparent, perhaps with green and orange hearts (but not too many)<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">The Reference Picture</span><br><a href="http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6363/refpq1.png"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">Only Colored By Me</a><br>Vincent (Left): Brown & Tan Brindle with Brown Eyes<br>Me (Right): Chocolate Merle & Creme with Green Eyes<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Text</span><br>Together Since September 6, 2006<br>Haley and Vincent<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Optional Text</span><br>It felt like springtime on this February morning,<br>in the courtyard birds were singing your praise.<br>I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright,<br>I carried them with me today, now<br><br>As I lay me down to sleep<br>this I pray:<br>That you will hold me dear,<br>though I'm far away.<br>I'll whisper your name into the sky,<br>and I will wake up happy.<br><br>I wonder why I feel so high,<br>though I am not above the sorrow,<br>heavy hearted,<br>'til you call my name.<br>And it sounds like church bells,<br>or the whistle of a train<br>on a summer evening.<br>I'll run to meet you,<br>barefoot, barely breathing.<br><br>As I lay me down to sleep<br>this I pray:<br>That you will hold me dear,<br>though I'm far away.<br>I'll whisper your name into the sky,<br>and I will wake up happy.<br><br>It's not too near for me,<br>like a flower I need the rain.<br>Though it's not clear to me,<br>every season has its change.<br>And I will see you,<br>when the sun comes out again.<br><br>As I lay me down to sleep<br>this I pray:<br>That you will hold me dear,<br>though I'm far away.<br>I'll whisper your name into the sky,<br>and I will wake up happy.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Prize</span><br>The winner will receive at least 12mil VPC. I may add in 200/280 trainings. If I feel you have put a lot of effort into your picture, I may reward you even if you didn't win.
