H/D fanart in 2007
Just went through all the art I did in 2007. Each piece reminds me of what was happening around/to me at the time, so I thought I might share?
Links to all my h/d art (yeah I draw nothing else) and a few non-h/d ones, w/ personal notes attached
January:
Kissing Under the Mistletoe (H/D, PG) - there was supposed to be more leaves.
Gift art #1 (Draco, G) - outfit inspired by Oilily's children's fashion catalog
Gift art #2 (Harry, PG)
Quidditch One-on-One (H/D, G) - I switched to extra-fine grain watercolor paper since then.
Draco and Harry (G) - reminds me of left-over watercolor "cakes" on plastic deli food trays (I kept using those trays until after I moved to Tokyo. Now I use two free Moomin dishes I got with 15 stamps from circle K)
February:
Daisy (Harry, G) - Did it in school library. My feet were cold.
Blinding Light (Draco) - I used a Hispanic male as reference. Not a bright idea, consider Draco being white as a ferret.
Doors (Harry, R) and Windows (Draco, G) - took off to Yokohama right after posted. It was a horribly stressful yet fruitful trip. I couldn't take a shower on my way back home because of the overnight bus schedule, and had to use the washroom at Starbucks to somewhat sanitize myself. Again, it was cold.
March:
In the woods (H/D, G) - inspired by a German film. Can't remember the title.
The Road - Chapter 6 (Draco - PG) - Did that one in 2006, if I didn't remember wrong.
The Road - Chapter 7 (Draco, G) - Regardless of the lack of comments, I liked this one better than any art I did in 2007.
The Road - Chapter 7 (Harry, G) - Took two tries before getting it right.
April:
Art #1 for serpentinelion's secrets-and-wishes fest. (H/D, R) - Dark, cloudy weekend afternoon.
Daisychain!Draco (Draco, G) - Every day to work I drove pass Kenroku-en, a famous garden in Ishikawa prefecture where pretty pretty cherry blossom could be seen during the time of the year.
Secrets and Wishes Fest, prompt #58 (H/D, R, NWS) - Do people wear their glasses while having sex? Harry is not Harry without his pair of glasses and/or his scar.
Voldemort (G) - I got a stack of old ジュネ magazines (the oldest is published in 1979), and was in old-world Yaoi heaven.
May:
Draco (G) and Blanket (H/D, G)
Red Silk (H/D, R) - Dark chocolate love.
June:
Strawberry whipped cream (H/D, PG)
Remus, Sirius, and Narcissa+Bellatrix (PG)
July:
Yukata Ryojo (Draco/OC, R) - I want want want Takato Yamamoto's Artbooks. Want them all. All of them.
Confession (H/D, G) - I gave the drawing to a colleague of mine. Didn't tell her it's supposed to be slash, of course.
Crocodile Tear - Fanart for The Good Guys (H/D, R) - markers of different brands don't mix, even if one is a copycat of the other. Trust me on this one.
Once Burned (H/D, PG) - the huge jar of Chinese ink I bought for this was trashed during the move. I only used up 1/20 of the ink.
Interlude to Once Burned (H/D, R) - weekend drawing frenzy
H/D subtext fanart #9, #8 , #7 , #6 , #5 , #4 , #3 , #2, #1 - Did them in the midst of my move. I remember myself trashing and packing stuff on a daily basis. Gave away too many comic books to my likings.
All is well (H/D, G) - did it in a food court at the new department store close to the hotel I stayed, 3-4 days before taking off to Tokyo for good. Started before 10. Finished at around 11am. Had some very good walnut raisin artisan bread while working on it.
August:
Reversed Handshake - Draco and Harry were done at the hotel before the move. The hand-holding was done after arriving Tokyo. The pictures were uploaded at an Internet Cafe in Jiyuugaoka. The cigarette smoke was killing me. The drinks were free, but I was about to throw up from the smoke so I didn't get to enjoy them.
Fanart for Nothing Scarlet or Grey (H/D, G)
The fall (H/D, NWS) - Did it a month before for reversathon? Did it in school library, as usual. I remember pulling out a couple huge books from the bookshelf behind me and stood them around my workspace, for fear that people might see what I was painting.
September:
Fanart for Maya's birthday comm merrymonth - Did the H/D one on a Sunday. Very sleepy. It was some stressful weeks.
October:
I promise to let you go - for the_eros_affair - weekend drawing frenzy, again. Must have been the hormone.
December:
Mpreg Gift Art for hd_inspired (H/D, G) - Spent approx an hour a day and did it in five days. Each morning I would look at the time I had and my wakefulness, and decide which part of the drawing I should do. Draco's face was done on the day I was half-dead; the sofa backboard when I was rather awake.
Scene from The Price We Pay For Wings (H/D, G)
Fanart for The Kiss (H/D, G) - did it before watching Moulin Rouge DVD. The last time I watched it I was still in Canada. I used to feel sorry for Satin for her life was ruined by this "all you need is love" business. I don't think so anymore.
Holiday art (H/D, G) - work-related stress, and the non-alcoholic way to deal with it.
Sketchy art (H/D, G) - when everybody including their mothers go for digital art, I went backward to color screen tone. I spotted some left over screen tone in the drawer, and I had the urge to cut something with sharp, sharp knife that day.
And my little CG attempt -
