Fics and Writing

Thanks to our magnificent Countess,

12mowrimo, I know that my 2017 word count is 152,679. I'm definitely happy with that, even if that productivity hasn't translated into masses of stories on here.

Completed fics:

spn_cinema - Per Aspera ad Astra on LJ |AO3

j2_reversebang for dollarformyname co-writen with blackrabbit42 on AO3

spn_reversebang Fic for cassiopeia7 J2's Excellent Supernatural Adventure

spnspringfling for keep_waking_up - Shadow Boxing on LJ | AO3

sammybigbang - The Ship that Lost its Soul on LJ | AO3

A J2 birthday fic for zara_zee - Net Asset Value on LJ | AO3

And that seems to be it. I think I've only written one drabble this year too, which ain't impressive, but never mind.

2017 was a bad year in some ways but at least it was productive. So much so, LJ won't let me post it in one go!

Pigma micron pen and Japanese brush pen. Just wanted to try something for fun.( wolf under cut )

Back to Part 1

~0~0~0~

Victor and Reidy were a few minutes west of Teec Nos Pos on the US-160 when the reports came in of a shooting near Yah-Tah-Hey. The FBI wouldn’t normally be interested in disputes on Reservation land, but Victor exchanged a significant look with Reidy when the details filtered through. The report mentioned three things that got Victor’s pulse racing - a weird blue light; an apparent miracle; and last but not least, two male suspects taking off from the scene in a black classic car which might have been a Chevy Impala.

Here's the first of my

spn_cinema fills. I'm not that thrilled with it but...

Title: Red
Author or Artist: Me
Movie Prompt: Hero
Pairing: J2
Rating: PG
Word Count or Media: Traditional art - Pastels
Summary: The colour is red.
Notes: This didn't go well. Me and traditional media have a rocky relationship. The film uses colour beautifully as it tells the same story of love and betrayal from different points of view. There's a fantastic scene where the two women protagonists are dresses in shades of red and fight each other while golden leaves fall - that's what I was trying to capture.

This is the final version, which is a combination of two traditional art pieces mashed up in Photoshop. The colours were enhanced by duplicating layers and using hard light on the top one.( Read more... )

I've been pushing myself to try new things this year so here I am, venturing outside of SPN. Ok, in some ways, I didn't venture very far, since I can't help but think of Jason Todd as being played by Jensen Ackles...
This dcu_bang fic is A New Taste of Love by Empires & Salvatore, and as you might guess from the title, it's a love story - though the two protagonists don't realise it, and have to be taught a few lessons first. Which, by the way, is a trope I have a huge fondness for!

Click on the banner to read the story.

For those of you who dabble in DCU, it's a Dick Grayson as Nightwing/ Jason Todd as Red Hood story.

Once Where's Wally came into my head, I couldn't do anything else! LOL

I can't believe I've made it this far - only two more days to go! In honour of that, and because we know our boys are together forever, have some Wee!Chester unity.

Because I'm British, I couldn't go with fall being autumn, and having done climb, I didn't want to go for fall as falling down, or falling over, so that left me with this... and J2

A last minute rushed job. But I did it on the right day so yay!
Here it is, Climb.

A very silly interpretation of today's prompt - yup. Hide and squeak...( Read more... )

I was a bit ahead of the game with this one as I'd drawn the face already. I wanted to see how effective dripping the indian ink would be. Reasonably so, I think.

Paul wanted to know if I'd be doing a picture of my rear end for him - that was a resounding NO! Bwhahahah!
I wanted to try a wet paper technique but my results were far inferior to the ones

goss has been doing on dreamwidth's

drawesome, but it was fun. And I love that I didn't waste a new bit of watercolour paper as I used the back of the piece I'd messed up the other day for the Deep inktober one! LOL

I'm back on the Winchesters for this one, in the gym this morning I was thinking about Dean being so determined that they have to turn their backs on the past; Mary's gone, Cas is gone; everyone they cared about has gone...

Back to brush pens and wash - I feel safer. Ha ha!
Imperator Furiosa - and one day I will watch my DVD of this film.

Because I only just found out there's a Deep Web as well as a Dark Web.
A little joke

Indian ink, masking fluid and a touch of watercolour. Oh and proper watercolour paper!

Back on schedule in spite of myself! Done with brush pens and wash, and I refuse to say anything negative today (also in spite of myself ha ha ha!).

So I had a bit of an Inktober mare yesterday, but I said I'd post everything regardless, so I am. LOL
Plus my creative sketchbooking course has started again so I'm due a post of the experiments we're being pushed into.

First the Inky nightmares...
The prompt was Filthy, and I had this bright idea about having Dean cleaning the Impala.
Attempt number one - using masking fluid and Zebra brush pen.

Does it count if I had the idea yesterday?
Inktober Day 17 Graceful.

I thought about Anna and her grace, and took the opportunity to watch Season 4 Episode 10 again. Oh Season 4, how I love thee still.( Read more... )

This had to be a fannish one - in fact, it's my first Dr Who fanart, I think.

The Tenth Doctor with an Adipose (because they might eat kids but they are kind of cute, nonetheless).

( See pic )The peachy lighting is actually thanks to Hurricane Ophelia turning the sun a pinky orange this morning. Apparently the air was full of dust from the Sahara, which turned the sky yellow and made the sun go sunset colours at 11am. Now (2pm) it's bright normal sunshine and VERY gusty winds.

Done with my Japanese Zebra brush pen, my new Zig coloured brush pens and a wash.
