Taps Commissions

These are commissions I've had done of Taps (and some of her other world friends):

Art piece description:
1. Taps as her amazing self.
I've just always loved this pose that the artist was able to give her.
2. Taps and Aneth Willish (child version).
Taps is placing a cautionary hand on Ann, as she allows the child (from another world) to hold her tapper. A rarity indeed. A western meadow lark (bird) and Chizy (my sister's character) watch the magical stick with wariness. Jeffery, knowing all-too-well what the tapper is capable of, uses a magical serving tray to provide some possible protection. And the poor teapot is shaking with worry! XD
3. Ann (now an adult) shows Taps the way.
Poor Carth Onasi! XD He's always had trust issues and now a member of their party has powers that can't be explained.
(If you've ever played the Knights of the Old Republic 1 video game, or seen any of this artist's work, regarding Aneth and her "Crazy Revan" adventures, you'll understand these characters references.)
4. Raspberry? How did you know?
Revania Everett hands Taps a lollipop as a sign of friendship. Whenever Rev hands out a lolli, it will always be the responding character's favorite. I thought the idea was a fun one. (Revania belongs to MaskedSugarGirl)
5. Taps meets Ky.
When I first wrote Taps, I always thought it'd be fun to have her meet my SW (Star Wars) Kotor 2 (Knights of the Old Republic 2) exile.

*Author/artist note: I'm a very picky commissioner - I want things "just right". There in, I make few compromises.
Taps' world is bright and beautiful. There's SO much I want to add, but there's a limit to my wallet right now. (Hopefully that'll change soon. I like seeing the world unfold from different artists point-of-views).
If you're curious as to why I constantly have the word 'Believe' above Taps, it's a big theme of the series to believe in yourself.
