Post Your Nikki J Here!!
Hi Ladies, I got my first Nikki J, so I wanted to share and give thanks to the artist herself. Here's mine, post yours, they are always great to see the different stories she tells for each dancer.
Photos she used were from a Jan 2010 photo shoot

Re: Post Your Nikki J Here!!
Nikki's work never ceases to amaze me. That snake looks REALLY scary - especially since you're 4'10"! I really NEED to get her to make me another one - but have the Hawaiian disease right now (LakaLute)...
Anyway, for those who haven't seen it yet, or for those who aren't yet tired of it (I hope!) here's the one she did for me a couple of years ago:

Here is mine! I love it but the eyes creep me out because well I have never seen my own eyes on a cartoon. It's incredible.

Re: Post Your Nikki J Here!!
Oooh! There's a cartoonist who will do "fantasy portrait" type drawings for folks at local conventions I attend, but while he always begs me (and gives me photos for free), I just don't like his art style enough to commission a portrait. This stuff is much better. Less anime-style, which I like. And she seems to get a good balance between flattering and realistic in portraying people, rather than going for the ludicrously enhanced/pared down style that the other guy does. I might try this sometime. :)

Re: Post Your Nikki J Here!!
What information do you give her so she can make the portrait? Does she work from photos and then you tell her what extras you want? For example, Sanoorah, did you tell her you were Year of the Snake or did she ask? ScarletDancer, did you request the shamrocks or did she add them based on info you provided? Zorba, yours is magnificient! I am asking because I would like to commission one for my instructor and want it to be perfect!

Re: Post Your Nikki J Here!!
..l;, funny you should ask, this is my first piece and I really hadn't given her much to go by and I didn't know what I wanted, so to that, I give her much credit for coming up with the piece. I left it opened the day I received it, and my hubby immediatley got the entire picture and was amazed at how the hair and face are dead on.
I started with telling her that I love earth and jewel tones, and proceeded to say I'm not sure what I want, tried to include an array of different types of photos.
She replied by asking if there were any themes or concepts I liked.
So, being true to my libra indecisiveness, I'm a walking contradition, I like water, but like fire, I like stars but I also like sun, etc. So I told her that I'm into astrology (western and eastern) and numerology, and gave her what I was in each. Libra/Year of the Snake, etc.
From that, she came up with the piece. I do want another one later on, and next time I will go with a theme/concept.
Good luck!Last edited by SaNoorah; 05-03-2010 at 02:03 PM.

Re: Post Your Nikki J Here!!
ooh, I haven't posted the one I received last December! I sent her pictures from a photoshoot and added that the tribal fusion piece that I was performing for that shoot was called 'Ice Queen'.

NikkiJ did some more pieces for me in 2008. THis one has a gothic feel to it:
And this one is based on pictures of me in a costume that I bought from Rosemarie in 2004:

Re: Post Your Nikki J Here!!
I love mine too! I can't find it on my computer but here is one that she made for my daughter and her 2 best friends. They are all going to different colleges so I thought this would be a cool gift for them all.
