The incredibly talented look_alive did 2 amazing drawings for my fic. I can't believe how lucky I am.

I do not have words for how amazing this is! I mean...lookit! They are so in loooooooooove. All the details are just incredible; the shading and texture of their clothes (the buttons on Brendon's leggings <3 ), the fact that Brendon is on his tiptoes and

GUH! ♥ ♥ ♥

I can't even. You just made my whole week. I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE THEM! You are so, so completely welcome.

I need to go read the finished product and leave you a legit comment on the fic itself, but before that, can I just say how lucky I felt when I chose it and read it and it was. Just. This fic makes me really really happy. I'm so proud that it was my pick. I've been gloating for weeks.

CHICAGO PRIDE YES! o/~♥

oh honey, thank you! seriously. I'm gonna frame these suckers. And please go read, it's 15k longer than the somewhat shitty version you got (i felt really bad about how rough the rough draft was) and if you want to know what the hell everyone is on about, please have a look at the previous fic, all i want.

thank you so much, you have no idea how blown away I am.

Hahah omg hi!

Yeah, I plan on reading through the first one, so I guess I'll just go straight on through. My life is kind of in massive upheaval right now, so it's been taking me forever to read stuff, but I've seriously been stalking my flist for WEEKS, waiting for this to get posted.

The rough draft was fine, dude. Seriously, it thrilled me. I've read so many fics that take place in Chicago whose authors have obviously never set foot there, and yours basically ended up reading like a checklist of my big shiny YES YES YES buttons. For the Chicago thing and for many other things.

...While we're self-promoting, this is my blogspot with the rest of my stuff. Which is also on my LJ, but this is easier to find. /shameless

[cloudlessclimes]

thanks for the blogspot link! i almost peed my pants laughing when i looked at all your Vices & Virtures drawings. You're amazing <3

i hear you about life getting in the way. it took me FOREVER to finish this, and i'm glad I decided to do it as a bigbang. i guess i'm a little excited for it to be out in the world and see what people have to say.

We need to wish for more stuff, because your art was awesome, and my art was awesome... and and and ;)

[cloudlessclimes]

we do! (what do you think would happen is we wished to win the lottery?)

[speep]

oh wow, I haven't read the fic, but the art is absolutely stunning. I love love love their shoes, and faces, and just y'know, all of them!
(definitely encouraging me to put this fic on my 'to read' list.)

[look_alive]

I haven't read the final yet (curse that nasty employment of mine), but if the rough draft was anything to go by, you should absolutely read this fic. It's sweet and wonderful and basically amazing. Plus all of the cross-dressing. All signs point to yes.

And thanks! I feel so lucky to have gotten a story I like this much, I hope I did it justice. I'm not used to drawing like. Legit likenesses, idk. /o\

[cloudlessclimes]

you nailed it! seriously, so perfect. and i am so relieved you liked the fic. i was sort of shocked you picked it, tbh. i gotta admit i sort of stealth stalked you after i saw you'd picked me, and i thought you were more into the mcr side of bandom. but i am so very very glad you picked my fic and that you liked it. the results are truly awesome.

[cloudlessclimes]

they could not be more perfect. they seriously ARE the brendon and spencer I wrote. I am so very lucky!

[squashbee]

These are so sweet and adorable! They are obviously in love and comfortable with each other, you can feel it. The lines are so clean and they aren't just plain grey which makes it more interesting. :D

Cute!

[look_alive]

Hahaaaa ohgod welcome to the wide world of look_alive hates coloring stuff! I'm glad you like my half-assed duotone alternative. XD

The chemistry between characters was one of my very favorite things about the fic itself, so. Glad that kinda translated.

[squashbee]

Daw?! I would have thought you like coloring. I guess it's because of the colored lineart. XD

[cloudlessclimes]

it's a good thing they're NOT in color, I don't think my heart could have stood it :D

[my_twistedshell]

Oh my god these are absolutely ADORABLE. Also, can I say the anatomy is awesome? Because it totally is \o/
Yay you got such wonderful art :D

[look_alive]

...I'll just be over here. Blushing forever.

(Thank youuu!~)

[cloudlessclimes]

but it's all true <3

[cloudlessclimes]

I love their hands (and the nail polish <3 ) my bro has an mfa in cartooning and he says that hands are really hard to get right. i am in love with my art, it's true.
