Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

At the end of June there was a fandom auction to help out a fellow fangirl. For me it's easier to donate than to art, so I usually give money or take the opportunity to bid on an author or artist. But as this was only a tiny corner of fandom, I felt brave enough to experiment with offering my arting-services, figuring if no one would bid, the crowd was small enough not to feel bad.
I was pleasantly surprised people were interested in my offer of paperart:)

What I offered: a paperportrait or a paperpuppetworksheet of the character or celebrity of your choice. (If you're willing to share your address I can send you the original design; if not, I'll make a high res digital image or worksheet)
Samples of my work: my papercuttingart projects
Fandoms: My personal fandoms vary from Supernatural RPF to CSI to Harry Potter to bandom, etc., but your wish is my challenge. However I do reserve the right to refuse suggested characters/people if they make me uncomfortable (see squicks or ask;).
Squicks/Dislikes: Character bashing, smoking, drugs, alcohol, misogyny

The highest bid was made by talitha78 and this is what she asked for: "Art based on either Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes) or the actor who plays him, Sebastian Stan." - thus giving me a wonderful challenge to take a step outside my own fandoms! I have not even seen any Captain America films - only the Avengers. I did do research of course and -no- the title is not a mistake. :-p

Now that the original artwork arrived in the US, I'm revealing the process behind the scenes and of course pictures of the result. Hope you enjoy it! Comments are always welcome:)

Thanks again, talitha78 for bidding on my offer of art and taking a chance by putting your favorite in my hands to play with.
