OH MY GOD YOU GUYS I MISSED YOU SO EFFING MUCH! SO MUUUUUCH! Never leave me again, okay? Okay. Btw, the move went surprising well (except for the part where I can't find my sketchbook anymore D:) and we are slowly getting used to the new place and making it home :) I'll probably post some pictures later on when the house won't look like a storage space from hell.
A-hem. Before I start babbling about other stuff, let me thank
saba1789 (we're gonna meet for sure! It is my goal for 2011!),
coreopsis (omg the gnome! <333) and
squashbee (kitty!Spok and puppy!Kirk ♥___♥ and the candycane :9 Also, it's February 28th ;)) for the lovely cards! They're so adorable <333 *smooches you forever*
Okay, so. I missed all the "end of year" memes which is, in fact, a good thing since nobody needs me to list all the silly stuff I did in 2010. There are, though, two things I didn't get to post last year.
The first one is the exclusive art I did for
mfac. I love this fandom calendar like burning and being able to contribute to it for the second time was a true joy ♥ You can find Santa's Little Killjoys
right here together with
coreopsis's adorable story Lucky Thirteen.
The second drawing is the piece I did for
yuletart :)
Title: Aim and Fire
Fandom: Inception
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Rating: G
Warning: um. Guns.
Summary: Love means never having to watch your own back.
Notes: Originally posted
here. This was drawn for
xenakis-, who was my assigned giftee for
yuletart.
xenakis-'s prompt was "Arthur and Eames being kickass in a dream (and so in love)". I have to confess I angsted over this piece because I wasn't sure I could draw something good enough to make justice to this prompt. That's not to say I didn't have loads of fun when I decided what to draw, though <3
Also, uh, I need to credit the reference pictures I used because they were a big help. Drawing action poses is not one of my skills so the Way brothers were a true manna for figuring out
Arthur and Eames' pose.
fuckyeahghosttowns is a mine of stunning pictures and provided me with the one I selected as reference:
an abandoned aquapark in Moscow. I cleaned it up and renovated the place to give the boys a setting where to show us that covering each other's back means I love you in kickass speak.
Also, also! Many, many, many thanks to L for the tireless beta and a shower of chocolate kisses to
angelgazing who held my hand when I was ready to pencil-stab my sketchbook and brainstormed with me <3
Okay, now that that is taken care of, make way for the first doodle of 2011! Just before the holidays,
delires had a
Spread the Happy fest where people could ask her for ficlet/recs/pictures/whatyouhave that would make them happy. I asked for lit recs (because I'm always starving for them) and not only she delivered
delightful recs,
delires also wrote me an
utterly charming original ficlet I spazzed over like a demented windmill (and that everyone should read because it is so freaking adorable I don't have words for it, okay?). I was so overjoyed with all these awesome gifts that I offered to draw something for her in exchange and since
delires and I share a burning love for Perrault's
Donkeyskin, she asked for a drawing of one of Donkeyskin's dresses. I am so very late in delivering this drawing (damn rl), but it is finally here.
Rating: G for Garments! one day, I'll tire of these lame puns...
Fandom: Is there a fandom for Perrault? I want one.
Notes: This is "the dress as bright as the Sun", the second dress Donkeyskin ask her father for. Dear
delires, it is very clear that I would be a crappy stylist, but I hope you'll like this dress anyway ♥
And now... WHO IS EXCITED FOR
inception-bang? I AM SO VERY EXCITED \:D/ And I have internet back which means I won't miss anything :DDD (and, ahah, I'll be able to send in the fanart I did for it *sighs in relief*) Also! I'm sure everyone already knows about this but I am starry-eyed over it so bear with me!
harlequincepted opened up shop \o/ You wouldn't believe the hearteyes I made when I found out about it! I am so very excited about it too \o/ \o/ \o/
Oh! Speaking of harlequins! Does anyone know if
bandomvalentine will run again this year? It was such a lovely excuse to doodle/read teethrotting fluff without feeling guilty about it <3
Off to find that blasted sketchbook. Feel free to leave me a comment with all the things I missed during my forced hiatus! *hugs you all very tight* *never lets go*
