AFK

Gonna be away for a week, but I’ll be back on 2nd December! I won’t be checking emails until I’m back, so commissions are on hold for now.

If…

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man my son!

by Rudyard Kipling.

On Commissions…

This is a heads up to those of you considering commissioning me – my prices will be going up after Christmas. I’m sorry but I put so much time and effort into everything I do and the money just isn’t covering my time anymore.  Anyhoos, the listed prices will remain until after Christmas. I haven’t chosen a specific date of change yet but I will let you guys know.

Myriddian!

Hey you artists out there! Have some time to kill? Feeling creative? Good!

Because I have an original character that I would love to see people draw!  All pictures created of my character will be permanently displayed on my website and in my favourites folder in my deviantART gallery if you have a DA account. They will also be featured in my deviantART journal!

Description:
• Name: Myriddian (female).
• Body: Athletic yet curvy.
• Skin: Pale.
• Eyes: Deep blue.
• Hair: Long, straight, very dark burgundy hair, usually tied in one long braid.
• Scars: Three long scratches on the right side of her face from her hairline to her chin.
• Clothing: Everything she wears is black. Cloth pants and shirt covered by a leather vest, long leather boots and a long cloak clasped at her neck by a dark blue gemstone brooch.
• Personality: Intense. She is a fighter but speaks rarely and never smiles. She has lost much in her life and exists only to exact revenge on those who destroyed her life. Yet she cares deeply for those around her and would die for those she cares about.
• Weapons: She carries a sword and matching dagger with a dark blue gemstone in the pommel ( same blue as brooch).
• Examples: Sketches ‘n’ Stuff | HoneyDragon.net

What to do:
• Draw, sketch, paint etc Myriddian and email the image to me so I can upload it here!
• If you use the image anywhere please include “Myriddian © Kathryn Whiteford” somewhere in your description.
• Please no explicit scenes/nudity/excessive gore etc.

email: kwhiteford@honeydragon.net

If you have any questions please email me. Oh by the way – there’s no time limit on this. If you show me a pic of Myriddian a year from now I’ll still add it to my website. ^^

ED FREEMAN

Medal of Honour

You’re a 19 year old kid. You’re critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray , Vietnam.

Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 – 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the Medivac helicopters to stop coming in. You’re lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you’re not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you’ll never see them again…

As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.

Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn’t seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it…Ed Freeman is coming for you… He’s not Medi-Vac, so it’s not his job, but he’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.

He’s coming anyway.

And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses.

And, he kept coming back…. 13 more times….. And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.

Medal of Honour Recipient, Ed Freeman, died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise.

May God rest his soul.

I bet you didn’t hear about this hero’s passing , with all the media obsessed with the death of a pop star…

Don’t let this true hero be forgotten.
