I learned my lesson and I do make a post about the stunning number of work assignments I received in the past few days, and that job hunting seems to be way more effective after the holiday season. Just in case I disappear again for a little while, you know.
Also it would be nice to move out of the house, if I get my way, and if I get a steady job. This can all potentially interfere with fandom life, and I don't want to drop off of the face of the planet without a word again. (However I'm not very eager to drop off of the face of the planet, so this is just for safety's sake.) :D :D :D

OTOH life can be fun when you have to draw things like this. LOL! Advertising graphic design of doom (it was not my idea, I swear!):

Happy Belated Birthday, lizardspots!
I know it wasn't easy for you - and Soda - recently, hon, but I'd like to believe that these hurt feelings will fade soon. I'm not sure why some people was angry enough to lose their cool, or if there were really so many donators who wouldn't buy arts if not for charity, and the only thing I know certainly is that I gave arts plus a good deal of money to cover their safe shipping, and still art2therescue is one of my best memories. Ever.
And I believe mistakes made with good intention should be discussed without shouting and yelling at each other, but maybe I'm wrong... *sighs* Somehow everytime I poke my head in here there's hate against sockpuppets or charity volunteers or any number of other things... It's a little sad, I think. :(

Anyhow, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, as belatedly as it is, my dear.
Have a wonderful year, and never stop sharing your sparkling talent with us! :))) *hugs*

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and that 2006 has started off well! :)
I'd like to say thank you for the birthday greetings back in December. I hope I thanked everyone individually at the time, but I wanted to say it again.

Well, and (better late than never) I wanted to show you this terribly cute story by arionrhod and scribbulus_ink, Boomslang and Bathwater (R rated, Snape/Lupin). It's sweet and OMGSOHOT and heartwarming, and has my all time favorite version of Remus and Severus. It's based on my drawing, Candlelight, and they dedicated it to me, and I really squeed my silly head off over it.! ^_^

And while I'm at this, I'd like to go on to pimp some more. Secret Snupin Santa was a truly awesome exchange, and the first one I participated in. There were loads of great Snupin themed gifts from writings to icon sets, and gosh, I got an incredible gift fic from thetreacletart, Tidings of Little Comfort and Questionable Joy (PG-13 rated, Snape/Lupin, Harry, Draco). Not your average Christmas Fic, so romantic and hilarious and perfect, and if you fancy a really good laugh you should try this. Brilliant. :)

Just one more, okay? I didn't have much time to read recently, but I started to follow hello_hbp because I have absolute trust in the authors, acid and sinick. There are only two chapters so far, but they are more than promising, and highly recommended to anyone who wants to fall in love with post-HBP Snarry. Go, ladies! :)

And I came bearing artses! It has been a long time since the last update - there are pictures scattered all over LJ I have yet to post here. The first dose with the smutty stuff was friends only, but here are the not-so-naughty ones. :)))

No "serious" stuff yet, only a few silly sketches, but I'm working on something, really. Don't give up on me, pls! :)))))

1.
The first sketch is not a new one, but I didn't post the link at the time, so I do now.
Blaise Zabini (G rated) - from the_leaky, in graphorn hide cursebreaker gear. I wanted to try if such a futuristic wear like a leather bodysuit can be designed so that it wouldn't look very out of place in a fantasy setting. :)
Based on this scene.

2.
I blame the second piece on marksykins for writing the story, and underlucius for prompting it. And also on mctabby a bit, because she created the Blame Each Other mini-fest. These ficlets gave back my will to live when I needed a little laugh more than anything, and on the top of everything I bumped into this:
Title: The Winner Takes It All
Pairing: Harry/Neville/Ron (er, sort of)
Rating: PG-13
Warning: Pure crackfic. Plus, disco and virgins. Oh, and more than one Georgia O'Keeffe joke. Don't look at me like that.
Notes: For mctabby's "Blame Each Other" mini-fest, written for underlucius who made me write, "Neville's experiments with the Mimbulus Mimbletonia lead to Harry and Ron becoming Harriet and Ronata, the best double act singers since Abba." Eee, yep. Title from ABBA, naturally. ~2100 words long.

I read it and I knew immediately that I am not supposed to resist such temptation. :)))

Um. Maybe my art constipation is over...? *hopes* :)
Drawn for the_leaky RPG.

Title: Anniversary
Pairing: RL/SS
Rating: G
Note: Commissioned art for arionrhod and scribbulus_ink. Please don't use it without their prior definite permission!
Gift art for the Leakyverse Snape-Lupins' first year anniversary - a double portrait of Adrien Brody as Severus and Jamie Bamber as Remus (er, at least I tried to capture some likeness of them...) :)

Link: (to the original post)

Yes, another Super Sekrit Project, another exciting collaboration, and it's about the_leaky again. Eh, it seems that even my surprises start to become kind of predictable... *rolls eyes* :D :D :D
But the LeakyRPG is one year old today, and that's a good reason for any addicted reader to celebrate. ;)

The Leaky Yearbook

is a portrait collection of the Leaky's characters. The site is still incomplete, and we want to continue it - we are only about halfway done now. We started it at the beginning of the year, and it's a team work of
artimusdin
doomandnachos
karasu_hime
khames
lizardspots
werewolfboi
and me. It was SO thrilling to work with them all! &hearts
(That said, I have a new found respect for webdesigners. It's too complicated job for a simple mind like mine.. *falls over*) ;D

I simply didn't get around to make this post... Hmph!

*snerks* Really, it's nothing new:

Hi, it's just me, abusing an innocent note block, really...
So, have you seen mctabby's Greatest Hits?
OMG I'm SO going to read all the previous Summary posts - as soon as I am sure that I've fully recovered from this one... :D :D :D
Um. Don't expect anything sophisticated, these are only minimalistic one minute sketches, but it's hard to resist "creative" urges when most of these summaries are beyond brilliant. ;)

Just finished reading HBP... Wow.
My apologies to JKR for every single disrespectful word I ever thouhgt about her while reading OotP. I am totally humbled.
And now I can't wait the next book to be released...

Geez, I guess that a LOT of shippers have a field day. Even me *clings happily to her Snupin, among others* Oh, the wonderful stories I can see in my mind's eye! :)))
