Probably should've been asleep. But I couldn't due to some anxiety so. So. I drew nikki. Three times. Fucking SPOTS. I used references found at http://kate-fox.deviantart.com/art/Pose-study-18-512066108and fucking -eyeballed- the hell out of them, so. Yanno. Artist is fine with that, and I really really needed to get out of the whole, standing there holding up a hand rut. Still, Nikki!
Oh i'm not doing commissions right now, though usually they're between twenty and forty depending on what people want :) I don't think there's wrong with referencing either, its a great way to learn, so long as people don't pretend they arent doing it. That's why I do my best to post them if I use them lol.

Ahhhh kawaii!! Loves it!
I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with using pose references, there is nothing better then watch an artist branch out and diversify.
How much are your sketches?!
