Draco and Harry Never Sing in the Rain

Hey there, puppies!

I'm so tired, people. This is going to be incoherent, and not my normal type of "aren't you a character" incoherent, no, this time I'm going for "aren't you that person they were warning us about on the news" kind of senselessness. Be warned.

All right, first off, I'm going to Florida. Uh, now. This was a trip that was planned, and then cancelled, and now, whoops, here it is, back from the dead like the slasher flick of recreational activities. I'll be trying to stay near an internet connection, but at the moment both my plans and my luggage are unknown. (Seriously, I just threw things in there. It's entirely possible that I've packed only parkas. )

However, in the art department we have something for everyone this month. In fact, if you put all of these pictures together, it's almost like an orgy. If only I'd drawn Hermione and Ginny necking somewhere, it'd be perfect. (Heh. I actually did color aome's excellent picture of that. That counts, right? *grins* ) However, I'm going to post the Harry/Hermione and Draco/Ginny pictures later because... *looks at watch*

Argh. Yes. Must leave.

All right then, let's go:





I love this picture, I really do. I drew it for wayfairer in response to the Armchair's Christmas Challenge. It's a picture from her lovely story, Who Loves the Rain, and at this point I should think that the answer to that would be obvious: me. I freaking love the rain, and particularly drawing it, and particularly the way it takes forever and never looks quite right, because how else could you explain...

This - Still More Rain, Opens in a New Window

Which is an animated picture of Draco and Harry kissing in the rain that I will be seeing in my dreams for the rest of my life. And yes, I know I said that about the other animated picture, but that was fifteen frames and had four seperate faces to draw. This? Thirty two frames and has pouring rain. What the hell was I thinking?

Ah yes, right, I was thinking that, wayfairer being a mod at the Armchair, knew who was doing her picture early and had to do the work of coding it besides, and that it wasn't really fair that she didn't get a surprise like everyone else. Possibly at this time I could have decided to send her, say, a fruit basket, but I did not. No, I went with an animated picture that took over six hundred layers and about half a gig of file size. (The original is larger, of course, but still.)

I'll probably be posting a walkthrough of how I did this picture, from the original stick figures to the rain, just because I'm... well, proud. And I feel like lightning should strike me down for saying that, but it's true. *grins*

Say something about this picture, particularly about the rain or the hands, dear god, the hands, and you will have a friend for life. Um, me. In case that wasn't clear.

Just... so tired. But happy. And never, ever, going to draw rain again.

Whee!
