Good Omens A/C fans? I managed to purchase the writing talents of irisbleufic in Sweet Charity and here is my prize smut, angst & and snarky dialogue *hugs fic*

Art collection post of the bits and pieces posted elsewhere in January.

They're beautiful. Especially Teyla (I love her expression, laughter in the eyes) and the White Witch.

[leyna55]

*g* Thank you. The reference image I used of Teyla is such a great photo. She has a lovely grin.

[gardendoor]

Oh, I love Teyla, and the White Witch is just staggeringly gorgeous.

[leyna55]

Thank you - the White Witch is an excuse to draw something pretty and Art Nouveau influenced (the Mucha love is strong *g*) without worrying about likenesses which I find tricky to do in this style - too stuck in realism! I admire your ability to do simple but effective likenesses in only a few lines.

[gardendoor]

Whereas I'm agog at the level of subtlety and detail you're able to bring to your work! So much good stuff!

I love that particular smile of Teyla's. Its such an infectious "sunny" smile, so colour wise I'm just being amazingly literal *g*

These are all incredibly lovely - the Good Omens one, of course, but also Jadis, who rather looks like Meryl Streep from The Devil Wears Prada. (But in a good way!)

[leyna55]

Hi! The Good Omens one was interesting and frustrating because this isn't how I picture them but I couldn't translate my ideas into the picture (I'm used to working in TV fandoms where I know exactly how people look *g*).

I used Cate Blanchett as my inspiration for Jadis (found a gorgeous pale profile photo) but Meryl from the Devil wears Prada works for me as Jadis *g*

These are all great, but I especially love Teyla's punky expression. It's so hard to get a good expression across without sliding into caricature. Awesome!

Thanks! I love trying to capture expressions, though wide smiles like that can be difficult.
