Loving the forced perspective in the first piece, and all those cute little cars. Nice work!

culper355 July 27 2012, 02:55:13 UTC

Glad to know the perspective is more or less convincing (especially since I more or less had to work it out myself sans reference images -_-'). I like my cute little cars ^_^ Thanks for dropping bye you! Hope you are well <3

Oh, it's definitely working. And I like The Soul Review too, very Edward Gorey. (Totally a compliment. I'm a big fan.) (Ah, yeah, I'm doing fine; hope you are too!)

I LOVE Edward Gorey. Funnily enough, he and Sir John Tenniel (mostly his Alice in Wonderland images) were kind of my inspiration for this piece. So, hurrah for references!

Wow! Great lines and musculature. I love the colors on the banner and your shading is exquisite. Excellent work!

culper355 July 27 2012, 03:03:44 UTC

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really enjoy attempting to draw musculature (I find it really compelling and pretty....which is why I ended up taking perhaps a little too much artistic license with some of the illustrations (although my author was very accommodating) and the boys....well ended up practically naked). Colors and shading (especially when it comes to computer graphics) always give me some trouble, I am glad to hear that you felt they succeeded ^_^

Well, pat yourself on the back for a job well done! It all worked for me, everything flows so well together. And I think the artistic license works well the story (and there is never anything wrong with naked J's :) As for your author, she's wonderful, isn't she? She is acting as a beta for my forthcoming BB fic and has kept me going, even when I wanted to quit nearly every week.

I look forward to seeing more of your talented art.

I know! She is definitely wonderful. I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of working with someone so enthusiastic and on-top of everything from the get-go before. She really put me to shame. Generally, I am not one to flake-out or procrastinate too much; however, RL just kind of got in my this time around, and I am sure I drove her nuts (I kept having to push back deadlines, which I hate -_-;), but she was nothing but patient and supportive. I am deeply honored that I could create something for her that people find worthy of praise :) Thank you for your kind words!

So many awesome big bangs have come out, I know I will never read them all. This summary had me thinking... maybe? add this one to my list, but your art definitely tipped it over into the definitely category.

culper355 July 27 2012, 03:17:43 UTC

WIN. That is the biggest compliment you could have possibly given me, thank you. If my art is convincing and is able to sell the story, then the work is successful. Please enjoy the story!!!!!!

culper355 July 27 2012, 03:18:15 UTC

Also, I LOVE your icon. It amuses me greatly o_O

jaimeykay July 27 2012, 03:33:54 UTC

Wow, this is terrific. That last image is my favorite, I think, with them all wrapped up together and with the style you chose, it's hard to see where one ends and the other begins ♥

culper355 July 27 2012, 20:47:28 UTC

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! That image is a personal favorite of mine as well. I am inordinately happy with how it came out, and deeply honored that it struck a cord with you!

Thank you for gifting me with your artworks for my story. I really feel like they help tell the story even better.
I really enjoyed working with you and getting to see your creative process a little bit.

culper355 July 27 2012, 20:50:20 UTC

Well thank YOU for gifting me with such an inspiring piece of writing from which to draw such creations. If they help augment and facilitate the story then I know that they are successful :) I also really enjoyed working with you! You definitely put me to shame with how on top of things and invested you were with the process. I do apologize for my "creative process" which admittedly a little more rushed and scattered then I like it to be. Your patience and support have been deeply appreciated <3
