and I want this night

reflectedeveI have some reservations about the Decemberists' new album, but for the life of me, I have not been able to get "The Wanting Comes In Waves" out of my head since Saturday night.
So I'm thinking that I'd like to participate in Sweet Charity (not before time, as this is apparently my last chance). I've never signed up before because I'm kind of uncomfortable with the idea of doing commissions in general; I don't see myself as having the chops to do illustration I haven't specifically chosen myself. (Particularly since drawing romantic/sexy art can be really hit-or-miss for me, much as I wish otherwise.)
But, I had a brainwave! I could offer to make a short comic out of someone's drabble (or just a description, or even a script). That's more in my line, and something I've wanted to try again since doing that Eroica comic based on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mosellegreen's ficlet. I'm thinking I'll limit it to My Chemical Romance (with optional Pete Wentz, Lyn-Z or Alicia, if my bidder wishes), since that's the fandom/band I feel most confident about right now.
I'm kind of stuck on what to put down for a minimum bid, though! I see a lot of people putting $1-$3, which seems low for the amount of time and effort I know I'd need to put in. Then again, I've never tried to put a price tag on my art, and this is for charity. (I'm kind of worried that this is too specialized or random an offer, anyway. :/ And I'm nervous about being able to live up to the expectations of a generous person who is actually willing to pay for my work!) Guess I'll sleep on it, as sign-ups are still going for a few more days.
Time to go ink to an episode of "Being Human;" I've watched two episodes so far and I love it. :D
