Lovely art!!! Enjoyed looking at it.

Wonderful art!

Really lovely banner and art! And I love when people share their process so thanks for that! :D

[mizzy2k.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ♥ I'm glad!

[mizzy2k.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! ♥

Thank you! :) I was taking screenshots for my author as I went through - mainly because I know how nervewracking it can be when one artist has to drop, it's easy to be paranoid the replacement will too, haha - and I really love seeing other people's processes too, so figured someone might find it interesting. ♥ (I skipped some of the early sketches though, but that was just blocking shapes mostly.)

I really like the shading on Jensen's face! He looks so strong and intense!

Aw, thanks! I was trying for something in that area so it's nice to know I succeeded. :D I'm trying to be less scared of light and shadow, and as Maaldas isn't afraid to write the boys with light and shadow, i figured I shouldn't be nervous of painting them in light and shadow too. ♥

Cool composition in the story banner: I'm impressed that you had that figured out with your first sketches; it turned out very nice! (Thanks for sharing the process:) That moon works well in the banners too, I like how you combined it with photo-images and the lettering is perfect.

Thank you! I had a pretty good picture in my head when I sat down to sketch, and I'm glad this mostly looks what I'd imagined (that so rarely happens in the rare times I art that it's nice to have happen this time :D) - but when I was colouring it, I did end up separating out the layers so that the elements could move if the composition didn't work. :)

The banners were an afterthought, so i was beyond happy that they looked cool - I've never really combined drawn and photo-images well before, so it was a nice surprise that it came together. The font for the lettering is Agency FB Bold Condensed (I think it comes with Microsoft Word 2007! Normally I prefer free font downloads, but this one is so clear, I love it.) ♥

These are very nice. Great job! :)

Loved all the pieces and seeing the behind the scenes progression.

Cool, cool art! Love all the dividers/chapter headings and that you drew the pretty doggy. ^___^
