ART: rs_games 2009 - Team CANON
We got beat out by Team AU, but it was SUPER CLOSE according to the stats in the mod post. I was worried we were gonna get taken by a landslide, because there were some really good AU pieces, but we had really good pieces and OH MAN IT WAS INTENSE.
Some of my favourites:
Whether True or Fabricated, Whether Planned or Happenstance by wutendeskind NC17 - Sirius and Remus meet at an art museum.
Exhibit A by minnow_53 R - A key witness tells the events leading up to a murder trial.
Ceiling Cracks by yngidot R - "Sirius isn't sure that he exists. Remus has the memories to prove he does. "
Conversations with a Turquoise Erumpent by dear_tiger PG13 - "Sirius, stuck in Remus’s room during Easter holidays, impersonates a magical beast.">
Oh, there's more, but I'm tired.... HERE is the master list, instead. Now! For my submission!

Prompt: 'Turquoise' + the poem behind the cut
And the wheel that broke as the cart went by.
It is not a voice that is under the eaves.
It is not speech, the sound we hear
In this conversation, but the sound
Of things and their motion: the other man,
A turquoise monster moving round.
From Wallace Stevens, "Continual Conversations with a Silent Man"
notes:
+ This is my first serious attempt at a proper layout and formatting for a comic-based piece. I did a Sev/Remus bit once before, but it was only single images. This was actually an attempt at frames and narration. I think it could have been a bit cleaner, and I'm still not happy with how Padfoot turned out, but I've always had more difficulty with drawing animals than humans. I started colouring this in one way, but then I had to leave it for a few days and I couldn't get the feeling back. :| So it's a little bit inconsistent in that fashion.
+ Overall, I'm really quite pleased with how this turned out - it was pretty much complete when I did the sketches, and the prompt translated quite easily. I think it was received well, too, so that's always a bonus. :D
