Hey, Banu.  I’m not sure if you’re finished yet with anything related to the last job.  If you’re not, that’s OK and please don’t feel rushed.  At some point after you’re done with that, would you be interested in taking on a commission for a character pose?  It would be a headshot of the reptile from the book cover.  This is a previous headshot of the character…

I’d like to have the reptile facing at the reader and winking in a mischieveous and endearing sort of way. Drawing a winking reptile might be sort of difficult, so I should probably offer some references.  I think this has the right tone, and this is more professional but I don’t think that he looks happy enough.

One adapation I’d like you to make on this previous headshot is that I’d like his sunglasses to have earpieces even though he doesn’t have ears.
