I wasn't planning on posting anything again quite so soon, but I had a couple of things ready, and there's not much point in waiting. So here you go. As always, click to enlarge.

Oh, and sorry I keep forgetting to mention whether stuff is worksafe or not. The following probably is; I'd give it a PG rating.

Haha! I bet you'd get funny looks from people if they saw you holding a book with that image on the cover!

I actually used my own hands as models for theirs, and it was mighty hard to get them positioned right. But it was worth it, too, for your gushing! Thank you!

Oh, I know no one here would mind. It's just that I was going to wait and post maybe a couple of other pictures with these two, but then I would've had to wait at least another week to even get them created, and I'm super-impatient.

The funny looks would be worth it if I could pull that cover off of my shelf, stare gleefully at the accidental rockstar pose, and read the whole imaging wee little Jeeves wishing for a sledgehammer :D

If your hands are the models, I would love to read your palms sometime. Aside from the fact that we will probably never meet face-to-face. Technical detail! And now I'm imagining you twisting your hands around someone's neck--"Wait, wait, I've almost got it--lean closer! I can't curl my fingers right!" (It might be time to cut back on the caffeine.)

...there's more coming? Soon? OH GOD, it's like Christmas + Birthday + all eight days of Hanukkah + a pile of chocolate chip cookies, but with more slashing and well-drawn hands.

Alright, alright, shutting up now...>.<;;

You do palm readings? Intriguing! How accurate do they tend to be?

Yeah, there's more coming...eventually. I haven't started any new drawings yet, but there will be more.

Fairly accurate, even for strangers, although oddly enough I can't exactly say how I do it. It's not like reading people and then pretending that I'm finding the information in their hands, and it's not about making general statements and hoping they mostly apply. A lot of it is in how the mounds and lines and fingers relate to each other, but there are just some things I sort of...know from touching and looking at the hands in general rather than intimately analyzing the lines. That sounds a bit like nonsense, doesn't it? I can't really explain it any better than that, although I'm told it's disturbingly on target a lot of the time.

Very interesting. So how does someone know they have a gift for that sort of thing? Did you just try it out and find that you were good at it? Is it something anyone can do, or do you need special perceptive abilities?

No, it makes sense to me. :)

Honestly, I don't know if everyone can. I personally think so--the act of learning something like tarot or palm reading opens up the natural perceptive abilities of a person, if that doesn't sound too new-agey, but I've never tried to figure out if this is true. I just picked up a book on it because I'd always thought it was neat. I was expecting it just to be a cool parlor trick, reading a couple of lines for friends and having a laugh about it. Imagine my surprise when it turned into this strangely perceptive thing. The other weird thing is that it's exhausting--two readings in an hour and I get silly, tired, have a hard time focusing and can't do any more until I've had a rest and some carbohydrates. This isn't usually a problem, except that one accurate reading usually means that everyone in the room wants their turn too, and you don't want to turn them down because they're so excited over it.
