Something about

tsuki_no_bara's fic summaries must appeal to me because once again her story was top of my pick list, and I was lucky enough to snag it too!

Story link HERE!

I usually do a banner but left it too late this time, so I'll jump straight in with the main picture. I won't say too much because the images by themselves aren't spoilery but if I explain, they will be and I want everyone to enjoy reading the fic first.

Here's Jensen, sitting on his bed on the stage of the abandoned theatre.( Read more... )

It's only 3 years late... but finally here's the art I promised you way back in the dark ages. This is a scene from your exciting adventure story, The Battle of the Nations, my dear

I hope you like it!

There are a ton of other things I should be doing, but I read this fic by

kalliel for the first time this week,and it made an impression on me. So much so, I was left l with a burning urge to illustrate one particular scene... so here it is. NB it is kind of spoilery, but not, because you can't tell what happens next, or how he got there, or even what is really happening...so...

Halfway through being happy! Ha ha ha!

Today's post is a picspam of terrible quality phone photos I took today at a truly wonderful art exhibition across the road from our house. It's of childrens' book illustrators who all have some connection with the town's art school. Strangely enough, one of the sets of artists, Anne and Janet Grahame Johnstone, were among my fave artists when I was growing up. Mainly because they illustrated my books on Greek and Roman myths which I loved so much. The best thing about this exhibition was seeing these twins' working processes, using tracings of their drawings so if they made mistakes in the painting they still had the template for the picture to fall back on. Makes me wonder how often they made mistakes! I really love the beautifully confident pencil strokes they use in their work. And it's fascinating to think how the two women worked together as a team, illustrating books for decades. One sister died and the other carried on for several years alone - how weird as well as devastating must that have been?

So to the pictures:

I was very taken with this summergen ficlet that has now been revealed as being by

ratherastory, and the final scene haunted me.
Pic is spoilery for the fic (obviously!)

This one was a bit different - a Loki fic by

morgynleri . Well, not so much Loki as Loki's children, actually - so I got to draw the great wolves Fenrir and Váli, as well as the more human-like Nari and Hel. All of Loki's six children feature - Jormungand the great serpent is in between the two wolves, and Slepnir, Óðinn's eight legged horse is in the background behind Nari and Hel.
