Art of Grab Bag Quality

I'm trying to shift my time-wasting activity from Overwatch to doing artwork again, so I thought I'd offer some sketchy (pun intended) services for Tattered Weave currency!
Price: 75 gems or 11,250 shards (which is roughly the equivalent of $0.75, which seems fair for at least a sketch)
Grab bag you say? Since I'm rusty, I was just going to offer straight-up sketches, but I also want to focus on improving my coloring... and this is just supposed to be for de-stressing, so instead of holding to rigorous categories, I thought I'd do a "pay one price and see what you get" deal.
Likely outcomes:

Feel free to ask questions if I wasn't clear enough. I tend to be slow and I'm writing my thesis for the next two months, but I really want to improve my drawing again. uou We'll see!

Just wanted to be clear I'm 100% okay with you reposting and rehosting the art wherever you'd like, including offsite. A mention of my name is appreciated!

Could I get one of my licorne Hiwn with my avatar? I can send you 150 gems since it's two characters (just would need to know if I should send them to you before or after).

@Maripo Sure, I can take a shot at that! You'd like Hiwn in their current stage, right? And I'll screenshot your outfit too in case you feel like changing.
I think it makes the most sense to send a trade with the payment now, and then I'll leave it hanging in limbo and only accept after finishing. I think that way, it's not sitting in either of our inventories while in transit?

@Maripo Sorry it took so long even by my standards, but I wanted to try my hand at black and white with an accent color. And coloring on a single layer / everything simultaneously before fixing edges. It was fun!

Ooooh!
Could I also pay you a double-rate for two characters, to get a sketch of Dr. Stuffy and Seeba at a tea-party? Or other scenario together as it strikes your fancy?

@Sefria Sure! I never play Hoof It, so I didn't realize who Seeba was at first. But Google had my back. |D And Dr. Stuffy the new item, right? I have this vague memory of drawing stuffed animals in high school, but I doubt I'll ever find it again lol. Do you happen to know if there's actual storage space in Seeba's mouth? Or for all we know is it a wormhole to another dimension? (Unzips stuffed animal, tatters start falling out...)
A tea party sounds really tempting, but also consider: both of them playing tag team or two player Hoof It.
Also @Maripo, I don't think I mentioned that I'm totally fine with you posting your art on profiles or in posts or on other sites. A mention of my name is always appreciated. <3 (And thanks again!)

Since this is a service you're offering to help get back into art, I am open to any scenario that you find inspiring!
(Pretty sure that Dr. Stuffy, yeah. Lycus' old stuffed animal which was recently offered in the Lab. You can see it being used by Miranda's new kith. For some reason your link is not taking me anywhere, although that's probably just my connection/computer)
Seeba is also visible when you visit Piper in the arcade!
From which view, I'd assume there is not a hole in reality in that zippered mouth... or at least, if there were Nic would have confiscated Seeba ages ago.
One hopes.
But hey! Who really knows, after all? Piper is pretty crafty! Maybe regular tea parties are the only way to appease the Unmaker and keep Hope safe....
(If there's been mention of Seeba's carrying capacity in Discord I would not know of it).
In any case, let me just send you over some gems. :)

(I can confirm Seeba doesn't have a black hole in their bag, based on one of Piper's 4 portraits, which includes her reaching into the bag. :P )
