*TACKLEGLOMPS THE WHOLE FLIST*

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS I MISSED YOU SO EFFING MUCH! SO MUUUUUCH! Never leave me again, okay? Okay. Btw, the move went surprising well (except for the part where I can't find my sketchbook anymore D:) and we are slowly getting used to the new place and making it home :) I'll probably post some pictures later on when the house won't look like a storage space from hell.

A-hem. Before I start babbling about other stuff, let me thank [livejournal.com profile] saba1789 (we're gonna meet for sure! It is my goal for 2011!), [livejournal.com profile] coreopsis (omg the gnome! <333) and [livejournal.com profile] squashbee (kitty!Spok and puppy!Kirk ♥___♥ and the candycane :9 Also, it's February 28th ;)) for the lovely cards! They're so adorable <333 *smooches you forever*

Okay, so. I missed all the "end of year" memes which is, in fact, a good thing since nobody needs me to list all the silly stuff I did in 2010. There are, though, two things I didn't get to post last year.

The first one is the exclusive art I did for [livejournal.com profile] mfac. I love this fandom calendar like burning and being able to contribute to it for the second time was a true joy ♥ You can find Santa's Little Killjoys right here together with [livejournal.com profile] coreopsis's adorable story Lucky Thirteen.

The second drawing is the piece I did for [livejournal.com profile] yuletart :)

Title: Aim and Fire
Fandom: Inception
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Rating: G
Warning: um. Guns.
Summary: Love means never having to watch your own back.
Notes: Originally posted here. This was drawn for [livejournal.com profile] xenakis_, who was my assigned giftee for [livejournal.com profile] yuletart. [livejournal.com profile] xenakis_'s prompt was "Arthur and Eames being kickass in a dream (and so in love)". I have to confess I angsted over this piece because I wasn't sure I could draw something good enough to make justice to this prompt. That's not to say I didn't have loads of fun when I decided what to draw, though <3
Also, uh, I need to credit the reference pictures I used because they were a big help. Drawing action poses is not one of my skills so the Way brothers were a true manna for figuring out Arthur and Eames' pose. fuckyeahghosttowns is a mine of stunning pictures and provided me with the one I selected as reference: an abandoned aquapark in Moscow. I cleaned it up and renovated the place to give the boys a setting where to show us that covering each other's back means I love you in kickass speak.
Also, also! Many, many, many thanks to L for the tireless beta and a shower of chocolate kisses to [livejournal.com profile] angelgazing who held my hand when I was ready to pencil-stab my sketchbook and brainstormed with me <3







Okay, now that that is taken care of, make way for the first doodle of 2011! Just before the holidays, [livejournal.com profile] delires had a Spread the Happy fest where people could ask her for ficlet/recs/pictures/whatyouhave that would make them happy. I asked for lit recs (because I'm always starving for them) and not only she delivered delightful recs, [livejournal.com profile] delires also wrote me an utterly charming original ficlet I spazzed over like a demented windmill (and that everyone should read because it is so freaking adorable I don't have words for it, okay?). I was so overjoyed with all these awesome gifts that I offered to draw something for her in exchange and since [livejournal.com profile] delires and I share a burning love for Perrault's Donkeyskin, she asked for a drawing of one of Donkeyskin's dresses. I am so very late in delivering this drawing (damn rl), but it is finally here.

Rating: G for Garments! one day, I'll tire of these lame puns...
Fandom: Is there a fandom for Perrault? I want one.
Notes: This is "the dress as bright as the Sun", the second dress Donkeyskin ask her father for. Dear [livejournal.com profile] delires, it is very clear that I would be a crappy stylist, but I hope you'll like this dress anyway ♥







And now... WHO IS EXCITED FOR [livejournal.com profile] inception_bang? I AM SO VERY EXCITED \:D/ And I have internet back which means I won't miss anything :DDD (and, ahah, I'll be able to send in the fanart I did for it *sighs in relief*) Also! I'm sure everyone already knows about this but I am starry-eyed over it so bear with me! [livejournal.com profile] harlequincepted opened up shop \o/ You wouldn't believe the hearteyes I made when I found out about it! I am so very excited about it too \o/ \o/ \o/

Oh! Speaking of harlequins! Does anyone know if [livejournal.com profile] bandomvalentine will run again this year? It was such a lovely excuse to doodle/read teethrotting fluff without feeling guilty about it <3

Off to find that blasted sketchbook. Feel free to leave me a comment with all the things I missed during my forced hiatus! *hugs you all very tight* *never lets go*

OHEMGEE HI BABY, HI HI HI! I HAVE MISSED YOU SOOOOO MUCH! :DDD

THE SUN DRESS! Darling, it is so beautiful, I legitimately LOVE it. I love the collar and the little diamonds like the sparkles of the sun! Also, it is so ironic you chose this one because of the three dresses, THIS was the one which there was not a picture of in my book. ARE YOU PSYCHIC?

Eeeee, I honestly love it. HEARTS FOREVER! ♥♥&hearts

BTW, I AM WATCHING ANASTASIA RIGHT NOW. \o/

AHAHAH NON HO SAPUTO RESISTERE! Secondo me sarebbero dei perfetti Piccoli Aiutanti di Babbo Natale, si si! :D

HI HI HI! I MISSED YOU TOO! :DDD

OMG, it is totes possible that I am phychic for this kind on hings always happen to me. It is kind of cool but also creepy at times :| BUT BUT BUT! I am so happy you like it! And also very very sorry that it took me so long to give it to you!

ANASTASIA! If it weren't for that extra A I'd have a princess' name, but whateve! Let's talk about the real star of that movie: ISN'T BARTOK THE BESTEST EVER? HE'S MY FAVOURITE! Also, the songs are so amazing, I can't stop myself from singing along everytime I watch it! <333

[identity profile] delires.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Do not apologise! I don't care how long it took. It is awesome. :D

HAHA yes you must be psychic for realsies.

I KNOW I KNOW THE SONGS ARE SO GREAT. Also, I was always a bit in love with Dimitri.

I THINK I HAVE A PRINCESS NAME TOO - YO, HELEN OF TROY! << Legitimate.

NAS I AM NEVER LETTING YOU GO AGAIN NOT EVER

*clings like...a clingy thing. Like EARLY PANIC BDEN*



Also, also, Nas, OMG THE DRESS. This was obviously a tactical error on your part, because now if I ever write the Project Runway AU.... ahahahahahhaha

OH MY GOD I MISSED YOU.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
You are amazing <3

I think Dimitri made all the little girls swoon and develop a chronic case of hearteyes *le sigh*

TOTALLY LEGIT!

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG NEVER LET ME GO! NEXT TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN I'M HOPPING A PLANE AND COMING TO LIVE ON YOUR SOFA, OKAY?

*clings harder than Bden ever did*


..... O_____o Oh shit. Are you sure you wouldn't rather I draw... I don't know... something that I can actually draw?

I MISSED YOU SO EFFING MUCH!!!

[identity profile] delires.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha also Aladdin. I loved him too. Which was my favourite Disney Prince? OH LOOK THE ONE WHO DOES NOT WEAR A SHIRT.

Apparently I was a perv even as a child. D:

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh Aladdin, you rough diamond, you! He wasn't my fave, but he sure was the most fun.

Um. I used to have a crush on Taran from "The Black Cauldron" because he had tight pants. You're not getting judged from this corner.

[identity profile] delires.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
WHO WAS YOUR FAVOURITE???

(Um...I honestly still get a bit turned on by 'One Jump' - SAD FOR ME)

I don't think I ever saw The Black Cauldron...what was that?

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
MY FAVOURITE WAS PRINCE PHILLIP! Because he had a red cape (very important!) and also a very funny horse (also very important!) and I liked how he fought Maleficent (he slayed a magical dragon! My little-self was easily impressed by competent sword wielding....)

OMG! The Black Cauldron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Cauldron_%28film%29) is one of my favourite Disney movies, up in the top 5 for sure! It has the scariest Disney villain, imo, and also a princess who is not a princess but is cool anyway, a hero who's not a true hero and owns up to that fact and a real hero whose tagline is "munchies and crunchies" :D

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO JACK. I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO!

...

Nas, NAS, I HAVE JUST SEEN YOU DRAW A DRESS. Your argument is invalid! There is nothing you cannot draw. Nothiiiiing.

I MISSED YOU MORE, NAS. SOOO MUCH MORE!

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, but COULDN'T THEY HAVE SHARED THE FREAKING CHUNK OF WOOD?! God >:'(

Do not be silly! I am unable to draw anything Tim Gunn would approve of, therefore my involvement in your ProjectRunway!AU would just ruin the experience for the readers, I fear. BUT I'LL DRAW YOU CHIBIS FLAILING ON A GIANT PINCUSHION! :D? ETA: OR CHIBIS TANGLED IN A MEASURING TAPE?

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE! YOU HAD THE INTERNET TO KEEP YOU COMPANY WHILE I WAS GONE! I HAD ONLY "THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF THE MISSING SKETCHBOOK IN A BOX" TO KEEP ME ENTERTAINED (sketchbook is still missing, btw :((()

I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK. And I love your art, even for fandoms I am not in. ♥

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-01-06 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
AHAHAHA I HAAAATE THAT MOVIE.

Lies! Tim Gunn would totally approve! Also, we aren't talking Tim Gunn here, we're talking Arthur! ARTHUR IS EAMES' BIGGEST FAN, NAS. Ahhh now I've had to look up my notes on this again. NGL, I'm mostly in it for the ending scene. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE MIDDLE WOULD WORK. D:

But omg omg omg tangled in a measuring tape! Flailing on a pincushion! Dying! Dyiiiing!

BUT THE SKETCHBOOK MUST TURN UP. IT MUST. DDDDD:

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-06 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
IT WAS A HORRIBLE ENDING! (btw, do you remember when there were rumors about a sequel and someone made a mock trailer where it was implied that Jack was trapped in a block of ice and then the ice melted and he woke up in the future? I remember thinking that at least he wouldn't be saddled with a partner who WOULDN'T SHARE THE FREAKING PLANK >:((()

Ahaha, Arthur would set my dresses on fire! Where are these notes ou speak of? I want to spazz over them! The middle would be all about Eames playing nice with the other stylists, but ultimately thinking about himslef and getting grumpy when Arthur tells him to "make it work" and wonders aloud if Eames can work with "sketches that lack specificity". Also, there would be all kind of challenges! The "Fairy Tale Challenge"! The "Total Black" challenge! The "Stationary Challenge"! The "Globe Trotters" challenge! I-am-clearly-losing-the-point-here challenge!

They are all 2 inches tall! Eames says that there shouldn't be an inch of space between them! Arthur is trapped in a forest of colourful pins!

WHY DOES IT NOT TURN UP? I HAVE CHIBIS TO DRAW ç_________ç

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-06 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
ISN'T IT? My eyes turn into stars everytime I look at all those gorgeous pictures *__________*

Aww, thank you bb ♥

(I AM SO EXCITED! And so very glad that I already finished my piece. How is your writing going? Did your artist check in in the end? I remember you were worried they hadn't left a comment on the check-in post yet)

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-06 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
I am so glad for my polifannish ways \o/

Thank you bb! Do read the fic! It is so precious <333

Oh, Donkeyskin is my favourite Perrault's fairy tale! You should check it out! :D

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-06 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ahah, thank you! Finding a balance between badassery and adorable was really hard (and I'm still not sure I managed it well enough) but I had loads of fun drawing it :D

OMG ANOTHER ADEPT OF THE DONKEYSKIN CHURCH! I swear, nobody I know irl knows this story! I am so happy to have found another person who loves Donkeyskin <333

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2011-01-06 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
BB HI! *hugs*

Hee, thank you bb! I promise I'll start churning new bandom doodles as soon as I'm settled in <3 Also, I need to find my skecthbook because that's where I put the rough sketch for your hedgehog coda <333

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-01-06 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahahahah I do NOT remember that. Though it still pains me not to make a Titanic joke at the beginning of Inception, so...

Arthur would not! He is totally Eames' biggest fan! Only Eames doesn't realize, because, you know, he's Eames. IDEK. Arthur is all "excellent use of color, Eames," and Eames thinks he's being SNARKY and his next dress is ALL BLACK and Arthur is like Eames you are showing a lot of depth, this is a very mature look, so Eames turns it into a mini skirt. And anyway, at the end, Eames goes to Arthur and when Arthur answers the door all Eames can do is say, "... You're wearing my shirt." Because Arthur owns a sweater from Eames' very first collection and it's one of his favorites ever? UM. IT IS THE CHEESIEST, OKAY, I AM AWARE OF THIS.

alksfjldkghfsjlgkjslgjs DYING DYING DYING FOR THIS.

CURSE YOU, SKETCHBOOK. CURSE YOOOU.

OMG! It was so hilarious! YOU HAVE TO SEE IT!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD4OnHCRd_4) :DDD

EAMES WHY ARE YOU SUCH A BOY? OMG WHY DO THEY MAKE ME WANT TO SMOOCH THEM AND ALSO HIT THEM ON THE HEAD? NNGGGHHHHHH! OF COURSE ARTHUR HAS A SWEATER FROM HIS FIRST COLLECTION! OF COURSE! THIS THING IS RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING I WANT IT RIGHT NOW THANK YOU <333!

I WANT TO DRAW THEM SO MUCH!

CURSE IT INTO NEXT WEEK >:((( (but omg come back to me my darling ç____ç)

Yayyyyy <3 I hope you enjoyed the card (despite it being less than adequate orz). And ty for the information. ;D IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE BEFORE THAT DAY APPROACHES?

I would like you to know that I missed staring at your art! <3 The Inception fanart is absolutely exceptional. The second one I can imagine irl! It would make a stunning impression on people. :D

If they do run, I can bet you it's because it was too awesome for their eyes to handle. ;)
