Fanart: Trouble [Harry/Draco, G]
It's been a while...
I'm swamped with work and I'm sick on top of it. I'm feeling overwhelmed and all kinds of miserable right now. Boy, don't I sound like a killjoy. Anyway, I thought I'd repost my hd_fanart submission, in lieu of a proper update when my head's not swimming.
This was my first real attempt at doing fan art. It was an interesting process. With writing the biggest struggle I have is with finishing and finding my voice (those are not mutually exclusive. In fact, I usually can't finish a fic until I find exactly what I want to say, or the story I want to tell. *looks balefully at my half-written hd_holidays fic). With this piece of fanart, I knew exactly what I want to draw (or say), and I sketched it out early on, but getting it to the point where I thought it would be an acceptable submission became the struggle. So, yeah, I redrew this bad boy about two dozen times, and if I didn't have enough respect for fanartists, I have even more now.
Anyway, forgive my blather and enjoy...
This was drawn for orpheus_samhain, who came up the thoroughly awesome prompt of film noir
Artist: mizBean
Title: Trouble
Media: Adobe Illustrator
Rating: G
orpheus_samhain's prompt:
Time-period or theme: Film Noir
Place: some half-lit, clustered room or dark, dingy back-street
Sense: sight and/or touch
Object: cigarette
Action: stalking?
Mood: dark, suffocating
Notes: When I think of "Film Noir" my mind immediately goes to those flicks where the main character is a hard-boiled private eye who keeps his heart deeply hidden beneath his trench coat and fedora, and who always falls for the wrong kind of dame. You know, like half the movies Humphrey Bogart starred in in the 1940s. But I don't quite see Harry as a Sam Spade or Phillip Marlowe, so he became Dick Tracy instead, an honest cop trying to keep peace in the big city. And Draco? He was born to play the part of a mysterious blond with a face like a choir boy. One can only imagine what kind of trouble they both got up to. (*g*)
Thanks so much for the mods for running such an enjoyable fest. It was a pleasure to be part of it.
