Wow you did a TON of art! akintay must be delighted! I really love the coffee cup hearts, Jensen's eyes and JDM; I think those are my faves.
I also love the pretty bonus banner you didn't use (just to be contrary LOL)

Haha! Is it still contrary if I love to hear it? Given how colorful and beautiful and other-worldly akintay described the fae world to be, I'm kind of sad that I decided to art mainly in b&w. That being said, it was always my intention to do at least one larger piece in full color. Given that there are *spoilers* already time-stamps written for this fic, I may yet make art more similar to the abandoned banner. We'll just have to see! But I'd love to add more art of color to this world (especially after discovering a brush in Corel named 'Fairy Dust'; I was so excited to find that, you have no idea, lol).

Jensen's eyes are my favorite, and when I get around to adding all my notes, you'll see why, but it's because I did them completely free-hand, which makes me especially proud of them. (Plus the fact that they're just SO EFFING PRETTY.)

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! <3 <3 <3

Jensen's eyes ARE so effing pretty, and you've totally done them justice here so give yourself a massive pat on the back!

Wow it must have been hard to decide which of these beautiful pieces to choose from. Great job. Off to read.

Choose? Who said anything about choosing? ;) Thank you! I hope you enjoy the fic! ♥

What an art set! There's so much here, and so much variety too! I love it all.

Thank you! I had a lot of fun drawing whatever came to mind :) Depending how things go this summer, I might even draw some more! ;) ♥

Awwwww I remember seeing this on AO3 and loving the wispy dreamy feels I got! I was so impressed with how much art you produced! Your author was one lucky duck! Gotta go back and finish the story soon! You're so talented! It's all so gorgeous :D :D :D <3

oooh, wispy dreamy feels! Excellent! I'd say that fits the fic pretty well, so I'm very happy my art communicated that for you ^_^ I seriously feel like such a jerk for saying this, but I wanted to make even more art for the fic (it's the *principle* of the thing, you know? It feels incomplete to me, for not every section to have a picture like I'd wanted)... and I might make more even still. Perhaps someday, future readers will have even more art to enjoy as they read to increase the whimsical feelings :) ANYHOO, I digress. THANK YOU so much for the wonderful compliment! I hope you enjoy the rest of the story! ♥

Sooooo, I finally managed to make time to catch up on other people's art and this post was on top of my list:) Goshdarnit what a ton of work! And so much babbling about your thought process as well, I love it!

The black and white looks very good, especially since you put so many details in the drawings; I think limiting the colours not only helps in pulling it all together, but also tones down the complexity (did that sentence make sense?)
Your progress definitely shows; what an awesome project to get some serious arttime in. I love that you continue to experiment with the tools and explore the drawing program.

My goodness, Jensen's eyes at #7? GLORIOUS. Hands are devilishly hard to draw, I'm so very impressed by both versions of #8.
I feel so very sad for the pizza, look at that scrumptiously dripping cheese *pouts*
Okay, I'm not gonna comment on every individual piece, it's ALL good. A special mention for the intricate motorcycle at #21 and of course for JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFF <3<3 O my gosh. Also: Chad in all his squinting ( ... )

Sooooooo, I finally made time to reply to this awesome comment. Shouldn't have taken as long as it did, but I canNOT seem to figure out the LJ mobile app, lol ( ... )
