Variable suggestive factors aside, I really like the concept of this drawing, since it apparently shows what I was thinking about at the time. As a matter of fact, as I recall, I got paid for my first commission job shortly before doing the line work for this piece, but the coloring came months later. When I was originally drawing this piece, I was thinking about making the most whacked out, yet cute and logically sound hair ornament for Xyni as I possibly could, and came up with the idea of a price tag. Of course, just a price tag alone wouldn't do the trick, I had to also put some bling whales into her hair, various currency symbols, and a hand washable tag, although it's partially covered up, it might actually say "Machine Washable", you just have to look closely, but really, which one would you prefer it to say?

To the casual observer, this drawing might seem to be pretty normal, for my standards anyway, but I put one mistake in it, that I only noticed much later. If you want to have a little fun, try to notice it before moving on the next paragraph. I'm not referring to the fact that Xynthica's on sale, nor the fact that she's cheap, nor the fact that one sleeve is missing, that bit was completely intentional. Gee, now that I think about it, I sure did make a bunch of interpretable mistakes in this piece.

Okay kiddies! If you didn't notice this, that's fine, it's human, and humans often have better things to do. If you did notice the mistake, then consider yourself super humanly observant. Discount Xynthica is labeled as being 0.99 of a cent, not 0.99 of a dollar, in other words, that's below anything you can find in a spare change bin, she's apparently worth less than a single penny! Ah, but you see, I'm great at making excuses for big glaring mistakes! That's a natural talent that evolves with being an artist, so I'm going to make up a lie on the spot to as why I made that mistake. You see, Xynthica's a piece of intellectual property, along with being the mascot of my "company" with the same name, and where in the world do you ever see fractions of a cent being uses? Why, in the stock market of course! So for now, although my "Company" might be worth slightly less than a shambling cent per share, someday it'll be marginally more! Okay, I really have no idea how the stock market works, but I figured that if I sound like I know what I'm talking about, everybody else in the world that's clueless about the stock market will think I know.
