ART: Art dump post for 'Now, As Before', and Watchmen Zombie!AU in general, MOSTLY NOT MINE

[etherati]

Throwing this together because some awesome and wonderful people have drawn me art for my crazy zombie Watchmen AU and art gifting always makes me weep with joy and lust hero worship. *coughs*

A note since the expansion: If the fic isn't named specifically and linked to, then it's from Now, as Before, which is a good place to start as it is, in

Awesome! I admit to an 'eek!' when I saw Liodain's stuff. I've been admiring that stuff for awhile! (Having said that I still have to say that you're drawing from Chapter Ten was more like what I imagined when reading it...)

[etherati]

Haha I dono, cause I was feeling 'argghhh this isn't working' and then when liodain threw that over it was just like. Yes. This. This is exactly correct. Plus mine just sucks incredible ass to begin with.

But I am just... amazingly lucky to have artists drawing me things that make me squee all over the place and then fall over from joy. Thank you so much for your contribution to the squeeing and falling over. XD

Honestly, I think yours has more of the messy hunger that the writing portrayed, which makes sense, since you're the one that wrote it!

I have a few more doodles that I can show you if I ever get them presentable.

[etherati]

OMG YES. MOAR ART PLZ.

(... ...... I sometimes get these odd moments of 'do people actually still think I'm a writer, when I say things like that?' Like this odd out-of-body thing where you see yourself from 20 feet up and go SHIT I LOOK TERRIBLE FROM 20 FEET UP. I dono. Just an aside.)

I love Liodain's stuff, and Hermitchild's really bowled me over (Frightened and Frightening in particular. Wow.) I love your stuff as well, though, stop with the fail! I love the character sketches, particularly the colored ones. I was curious to see what you envision his eyes as looking like.

[etherati]

Weirdly, the thing I like best about his eyes was never even explicitly stated: that because he has that reflective cat-eye thing going on, his pupils are never totally black. They always have some amount of the gold reflectivity that you see in cats, the degree obviously depending on the angle of the light.

Of hermitchild's stuff, I think I like the 'entirely too close' one the best, mostly because it hit on an angle/dimension that I'd completely missed, writing the scene from Dan's POV. Which I love, because it lets me look at my own stuff and find new things lurking in it which is just so much fun. :D

[aceles]

That's really interesting. For some reason I never put the two together into one image, but I like it. Quite a bit. Spooky eyes have always been a favorite of mine.

...for some reason I clicked that one and it never came up, apparently. Christ. That's pretty amazing.

[etherati]

Yeah. I was honestly tempted to add a line about it to the story, but decided against it. There's a point where you have to call a story done and finished and accept the oversights. Honestly the bigger oversight was OH FUCK HOLLIS. Because there's no way Dan wouldn't have been like LETS FIND OUT IF HOLLIS IS OKAY. And that one, I'm actually really ashamed to have forgotten about.

Man. I stopped reading fanfiction for many years until my friend pointed me to your fics and I've become hooked. Seriously needing to fanart you sometime. Srsly. Expect it when you least expect it. >:|

[etherati]

I will therefore try to not expect it as constantly as I can XD Because your art is awesome and wonderful.

Seriously, thank you, that's a huge compliment and as usual, I have no idea how to coherently respond to it. <3

[biliousneko]

ZOMBIES. AND WATCHMEN. What's not to love about that combo? |:

[etherati]

Nothing that I can think of! I've gotten the occasional bit of flak from extreme fandom purists but not a whole lot. XD

[lampsh4de]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFaaah I love how much epic art your stories attract. :D

[etherati]

I DO TOO IS THIS A HUGE SURPRISE I DOUBT IT

[lampsh4de]
