measure me in metered lines
because i am like, a huge fan, okay, i drew fanart for stereomer's amazing and exciting and trancending-new-levels-of-cool dressed to the nines, dressed to kill!
&&
geraaaaard. i wanted to make it look like a comic book cover, but it didn't happen.
drawn/colored in Photoshop 7 on my beloved wee Wacom tablet. :3~
p.s. i am sad i lack the skills to draw a frank iero into this! too many details, what with all the pretty tattoos on the dear boy. oh my hands, they fail.
O HAI: i'm interested in the idea of opening up a fanart community for bandom, especially focusing on people making illustrations for authors/fics that they enjoy. i have always liked seeing people give back to fandom, in one of those giving-sharing circle things, in fic exchanges, gift ficlets, etc, so why not illustrations too?
but i am not really wanting to put myself through modly things again, with the set-up and maintenance and checkups and making sure everything is spic&span!1 talk to me, flist! is this something bandom might need right now? 'cause i think lots of illustrators working with writers would be most awesome.
1however, i can't complain about we_are_cities. i run it with my favorite person in the WORLD, and also, the system we started out with (stay positive, be gentle and quiet, and hopefully people will do the same) is still working really well. there's a few snags here and there, but people have been so kind and supportive to us through the comm's "growing pains", i guess you could call them. and now in a span of about 6 months, we've grown to nearly 400 participants! \:D/ yaye.
you know what would also be awesome? COMICS. for bandom! like, fic, but with panels and stuff? i really want to, you guys -- at night before i sleep i say my prayers like jesse lacey probably wants me to i think about panel and page layouts, how dialogue appears in talk bubbles, various boxed scenes. but producing a single standalone page would take me all of fucking forever, so uhhhh. no.
other news today: i sound really whiny. sorry sorry.
