I found Joana's blog and quickly gave her an email explaining who I was and that I was a fan and she replied saying she would be happy to create an illustration for me. Judging from her emails, she seems very lovely too as well as really talented :D
On Saturday just gone I received an email from her with a sketch of myself attached:

Then after checking my emails constantly the past few days in excitement, I received the email with my portrait included! And can I just say WOW! I think it looks amazing! I am so thrilled with it XD
I think it really does capture me very well and the people who I've shown it too say the same thing :D
Joana if you are reading this, thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into this for me, I really appreciate it and love it! XD
