And here it is! My contribution for tw_bigbang. Go read the accompanying story, Holding to the Ground by thescarletwoman.

After one of the craziest weeks imaginable and a generous extension, I finally managed to finish my art for tw_bigbang. *wipes brow* It'll be up later this month, and I'll post it here as well. I can't wait to see how it looks with the story.

As for the second chapter of Missing Pages, it's . . . getting there. Did I say I've had a crazy week? I meant crazy month. But hopefully I'll have more time to start writing again soon.

And now for something completely unrelated to fandom: here's some art I made today!

I have two new pieces of art, done for different monthly challenges over at hp_fringeart.  They are both sort of retro, and very derivative of other people's work. :)

For September's challenge, Seasons:
Snowy Owl
Hedwig, G

For October's challenge, Sunday Mornings:
Sunday Mornings Are For
Hermione, Ron, and Harry, G

After a silly amount of waffling, I finally decided to sign up to do art for Torchwood Big Bang.  Since I still don't know Torchwood fandom that well, I'm hoping it'll be a good way to offer something where people might see it.  And maybe read some good fic in the process. :)  Plus, I'm an illustrator at heart - I love having an assignment to work off of.  Posting will begin around mid-November, so I should have plenty of time.

In the meanwhile, I'm FINALLY finishing up the first chapter of an untitled Harry/Cedric suspense story that I've been brainstorming on and off for way too long.  Heh.  I'm super excited about it, because I have the help of the incomparable b00kaddict who is somehow making perfect sense of my scattered outline.  It's going to be longer than anything else I've written, and plottier too.  *Fingers crossed!*  The first chapter will be posted sometime in the very near future.

So I haven't done anything big lately, but there are a few little things I've posted here and there. First, two ficlets inspired by the new film:

Title: It Felt Like This
Characters: Harry, Hermione, implied Harry/Cedric and Hermione/Ron
Rating: G
Summary: He found Hermione sitting at the bottom of the stairs, her head surrounded by a halo of circling yellow birds, and she was crying. Definitely crying.

and

Title: Extracurricular Matters
Characters: Dumbledore
Rating: PG
Summary: Harry's personal life is the last thing that Dumbledore should be concerning himself with.

And now for the art! This was done for the International Day of Femslash challenge at hp_femsmut, so keep in mind that there's sexin' involved.  Though, to be honest, it's pretty tame.  This was both my first work of femslash and my first work of smut, which made it a fun challenge.

Title: Grass Stains
Pairing: Hermione/Ginny
Rating: R-ish, NSFW
Warnings: Mild nudity, mild sexual content.
Medium: Pen, digital coloring

Last year, in a fit of generosity, I offered to make art for everyone on twoseekers who put in a prompt. A year later, and I've finally posted the last one! I also gave myself the added challenge of doing each piece in a different style. It was fun to break away from my usual way of doing things, and it was a good excuse to experiment a little.

I've posted some of the (IMO) better ones below the cut. But you can find the rest of them in my memories here. They're all rated somewhere from G to PG13.

I seem to be all about the fanart lately. I even plan to draw a prompt at hp_femsmut in honor of International Day of Femmeslash, so we'll see how that goes. The writing bug will kick back in at some point, I'm sure, but for the moment it's all about the art. :)

In honor of the upcoming movie with all the awful Matrix-y posters, I was inspired to do a little art making. :) I want to use it in my RL portfolio, too, so I actually put some effort into it. Haha. Enjoy!

Title: All Grown Up
Characters: The Trio, then and now
Medium: digital
Rating: as G as it gets
Disclaimer: Harry Potter and friends don't belong to me

A silly five minute Keith Haring tribute won me a prize over at hp_fringeart.
