*g* Yeah, I don't know if it would always be as productive as all that. (It depends on everyone's mood/committment to what they're working on. Sometimes when I manage to get together with another artist, we just work quietly; other times chatter takes over.) But fun is every bit as good a reason to hang out, and you can exchange tips and ideas even if you don't get a lot done. :)

Yeah, I'm not at all sure that I'm getting him, even in the slightly simplified style I'm working with. (I really need to suck it up and finish, though; way too much time already being spent on a silly piece of fluff.) I would love to see him in your style, though. *_*
