What is your weirdest request?

I thought it would be fun to hear what the weirdest request everyone has had from the kids they paint. What was your weirdest?

Mine was a peeled banana. Wish i had gotten a pic.

mating dragons, dont think that wasnt a challenge to paint it, and yet make it look like they were just playing in mid flight so i didnt get tossed in jail

a(full face) rainbow globe, a dragon frying a chicken, a toilet, a dirtbike helmet(full face,) a (full face) praying mantis....

I get a lot of weird requests because I don't carry around a choices sheet. I just let the kids tell me what they want and I do it... so yea. sometimes they think of really weird things!

Dragon frying a chicken, wow.
I had a thirteen year old boy ask for a half tiger/half butterfly face. It turned out cool, but as soon as his dad saw it he made him wash it off.

My strangest so far was a rainbow villain. I do wish I had taken a picture. I was stressing about it but it turned out great.
Ashley, yours are great! I would love to see what you came up with!

A corn bread, Mc Donalds sign with seagulls, Spawn... :p

The other weekend, I had my first real penis request from a teenager who was trying to act cool in front of his friends. :p Of course, I didn't do it as this was a family event, duh.

The word 'Bakugan' across a boys forehead. He had to spell it for me as I'd never heard of it...(he told me 'you've probably never heard of it)...I was worried it was something weird so I had to confirm with someone else it wasn't a swear word in another language or something. Since then I found out it is kinda like 'transformers', just a kids game/toy thing. I have girls!

Also had a boy ask for what I call 'Barbie eyes' which I changed to 'Ken eyes' and just didn't do the 'eye makeup' and lashes portion to make them more manly. Turned out pretty funny actually. If he hadn't asked I never would of thought of making them 'guy friendly'.

Too funny! I don't have any yet, but the best was silver brass knuckles, with a huge emerald where the ring finger would go. It's the logo of the Circle City Socialites, a roller derby team, and I painted it on a derby girl. She was awesome.
But it's a shame my photog didn't get a good pic of the work! I was super proud of it!

I love the dragon frying chicken! Maybe for the next weekly challenge, we should pick something from this list!

hahah I had the same question for the other forum...lol

mine would have to be a flying helicopter-pig-cow.
it had a helicopter body - cow spots and utters, a pig face and little pig tail.

Wow, that's some crazy stuff. The kids I paint better pick off the board, lol!!

Mine was a "Dead snake, in a pool of blood". This wouldn't be half strange coming from a boy, but this request was from a 9 year old little girl.

Today I had 4 hamster requests, saber-tooth tiger and a little girl who sobbed when I told her I couldn't do a real henna design because I only brought paint with me. Good day

I've had a hamster request a time or two - I don't consider it wierd.
