genteensy bang - Lemons with Honey art for morrezzela

[amberdreams]

I feel I owe the lovely patient morrezela an apology for this, as I ran out of time to do more art for this charming fairy tale!
So all I have is a banner and one illustration and neither came out exactly how I wanted. *sigh*
Still, hopefully they will tempt you to go and read the fic - I mean, it has Genevieve transformed into an orange jelly sweet and Jared is even sweeter! How can you resist? For the genteensybang 2014.


This isn't really spoilery but here's a scene from the fic after Jared and Gen have entered her kingdom. Sadly I failed at conveying the chocolatelyness of the trees and path.

Click on the pics to see them larger.

Both were done in pencil then photographed so I could colour them in Photoshop.

Gummi!Gen is lovely! Love the color and semi-translucency!

The second piece sorta reminds me of wreck-it Ralph :) I love the striped grass and the purple trees in the far back, and the misty air. Jelly sweet!Gen is intriguing...I must read this one!

Aw thank you - none of this turned out anything like what I had in my head (which was awesome! LOL) so I was quite disappointed. So if anyone likes it that is a bonus.

Thanks for finding something to like about these!

Ooh I like both of these! Gen's face is beautiful in the top one, and I really like the pattern you chose to superimpose (and also the colouring that you picked for it - it's rather autumnal and wistful) and the lighting was a good choice as well.

The second one is my favourite - you get a great sense of ease between them - Jared's carefree pose and Gen's reluctant little smile. I'm also very fond of your trees.

Thank you - I wanted to do so much better than this so your kind words are very comforting!

What gorgeous, expressive colors! I love that you played with color as a way to tease the fic. There's something so fresh and happy about them!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Well maybe I got one thing right then... It is a fresh and happy fic.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, "One thing right?" Lady, the art is adorbs! If you move the viewer, especially to make them smile and feel upbeat and springy, that's way more than "one thing." Art must communicate. There are a shit ton of technically brilliant artists out there that leave me stone cold; your art always warms me up. SO THERE!

(And actually, monicawoe and I were just talking about how much fun it is to see your art, because it just keeps getting better and better. No lie.)

Ah, you guys! Give me the warm fuzzies. *hugs you both*

Gen looks absolutely delish :D And what a be-yoo-ti-ful landscape.I love how animated and spritely Jared looks just walking *g*

Aw thank you!

Stunning art, once again...really beautiful. It's got a real fairytale feel about it to me which is really wonderful.

Great work. :-)

I am totally convinced to go and read the fic - what lovely, *sweet* art!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you so much - fairy tale was what I hoped to capture...

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ha ha thank you - I'm so happy some folk like these as I really wasn't sure they'd worked at all.

[saltandburnboys.livejournal.com]

Well, mission very much accomplished! :-)

You don't know how relieved that makes me! :D

Beautiful! I love the close up of Gen and the different shades you did her face in. Very, very sweet ;)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[morrezela.livejournal.com]

I totally forgot to comment on this back when we posted! (Dur)

I'm still so thrilled with what you did. Gummy Gen is so awesome!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh! Ha ha ha - thank you my dear! I am still pleased that you were pleased.

[tipsy-kitty.livejournal.com]

This is gorgeous! Gummy Gen looks good enough to eat, rowr :)

Thank you so much!
