I don't think I can do requests
I need an original picture to work from then I change it as I go....
yeah I'm sort of a tracer
I've gotten pretty good at bringing out guys better half though
here's my next pic as an example

See the hat from the first picture was taken from here for Shawn back to the firs one.
then I copied over Shays hair from the first image over here to the second one then changed his clothes...and some other things lol.
if you give me a good quality picture of someone you want *changed* I can see what I can do but no promises.
Some poses are harder for me to do.

Pretty intresting. I'll be popping back in for more.
Oh and just to show I'm a MAJOR geek, 'Shawn' was influanced by TK from Digimon. :P

yeah the art style is definitly influenced and similar to the digimon series, very good regardless. Keep up the good work.

I was curious as to why we would hurt them? *Blinks*

Looks good. And I do the same thing but I don't trace I use pictures as examples and to help me figure out certain poses. But I've been working away from that slowly and I've been getting better. I used to trace when I was like 10. I only trace now if I want to copy my work so I can try somethings.

Not too shabby, certainly better than mine.
Soooo, why is it called 'Better Half'?

I think it's because of the habit of referring to somebody's opposite-sex partner/counterpart as the person's "better half", especially if the person is male and the partner/counterpart is female.
