(Aug12) Okay so one, by "yesterday", I meant the fifth, and two, It turns out it wasn't a JAG office, but it is still law-based. Though, I was told to do away with the eagle, I might just try something diff w/ it instead. Also, the Sword and scales HAVE to be together on one side. Now I just need to fix them together nicely and do something on the other side next. ◎
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

Yeah, I changed the word "yesterday" to "5th (6th)" on the first post.
My parents got me a new sketchbook and pencil set (w/ black and beige pastel sticks, eraser, pencil sharpener, sandpaper block, n maybe 1 or 2 other things, idr.) for me to draw it in cuz he had to take the piece as a paper with him, physically. And boi, did all that sketching pay off!!! I managed to draw big enough and even made a variety for him to choose from!! And he did!!! Then I drew most of the cleanup and rushed the

-and rushed the final quarter of the coin, stars and words.
And I thought I was done since we both know what's supposed to be set on the other side, their logo, and at first, he was upset with me, but he still had stuff to pack before he left to return to his apartment in D.C. (he's in the process of moving outta there and in w/ us) and that's when mom managed to convince him to go take a shower cuz Kippy :dog: was licking him up prior.

And let me tell you, that was the FASTEST I've ever drawn in my LIFE!!!!!
Sure, it was mainly tracing over what I had drawn from the cleanup, but that was only a few things!! I STILL had to GUESS for EVERYTHING ELSE!!! The handle/hilt, I used the ruler to help me place the strings holding up the scales in the right spots. OH! And don't worry, I took a picture of all the pictures I drew before mom placed them in a big yellow envelope so he could take it w/ him when he went back to the PENTAGON!

He had calmed down by the time I was done with it cuz he was also looking for something else, I'm not gonna get into any details on that stuff. He gave me permission to share the sketches I had made on here so that's why I'm sharing them all here with y'all now!!! Here you go! :grin:

I think he was also really stressed, and I WAS supposed to finish it by today, I had also gotten stressed about getting ready togo to my old BFF's wedding, but either way I don't blame him for getting upset and you shouldn't either. Just be glad that I finished in time for him to take it with him to work to get it turned into an official coin, okay? :wink: :grin: :sigh: PHEW~

Also btw, the huge color spheres are what I had tried to manually color match from all the challenge coins he had brought home for me to use as an example of how to make one for him and his office buddies and chief.
