ART: "League of the Green Carnation"

2008-07-20T18:29:07Z

anthimaeria commissioned me to draw the characters from her very interesting-sounding gay-themed original novel The League of the Green Carnation. :D The novel is set in a men's college in 1900-1910 America, I believe, and I had awfully good fun with the costumes in this piece. :D I attempted to photoshop the picture to give it an old photograph look... with debateable results. xD But hey, I thought it looked neat!

Title: League of the Green Carnation
Rating: G
Medium: Open Canvas, Photoshop
Notes: As per the usual rules, do NOT use this art without anthimaeria's permission first. :)

The characters are:
- Thomas Ardesco (with black hair & goatee), the impatient grumpy Professor who's not as gay as he thinks he is.
- Celeste Douglas (with massive flowery hat), the romantic, emotionally messy dreamer who aspires to be an actress.
- Sebastian Clay (with blonde curly hair), the athletic, priveleged student who tries to live up to his family's expectations.
- Phineas Lofting (with brown hair, laying in the grass), the intelligent, working-class student who has his head in the clouds.

raitala also drew some really awesome portraits of the characters here. :D

ART: Samwise & Gimli

2008-07-19T17:26:11Z

wildfyre commissioned me to draw gift portraits of Peter Howe and Sevan Stephan, the actors who currently play Sam and Gimli (respectively) in the Lord of the Rings musical at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

Tonight is the closing night of the show, which I'm sorry to hear because I went to see it 2 weeks ago (courtesy of wildfyre ♥!), and I thought it was fantastic. :D wildfyre will be presenting the portraits (framed!) to the actors after their closing show this very evening, which is awfully exciting! I hope she takes photos. :D

Character: Gimli (Sevan Stephan)
Fandom: LotR musical
Rating: G
Medium: ink, watercolours, and colour pencils

Character: Samwise (Peter Howe)
Fandom: LotR musical
Rating: G
Medium: ink, watercolours, and colour pencils

Sam was definitely my favourite character in the musical. :D He and Frodo sing a song to each other, and it's so ridiculously slashy and precious, I could have wept with joy. :3 Behold, this clip which shows a snippet of the song: Squee!

Title: On The Prowl
Character: Pansy Parkinson

ART: "Forest Fairytale"

2008-06-16T19:11:37Z

Commission art for the wonderful weirdosayswhat, who asked me to draw this wonderful scene based on her original fairytale-inspired novel. :D I had lots of fun with it. I even drew a wolf! *shock* And animals are not my forte.

Notes: As this is a commission, please do NOT use this artwork without weirdosayswhat's permission first. :)

ART: Harry & Patronus tattoo design

2008-06-12T23:19:03Z

Another tattoo design, commissioned by tonights. She wanted Harry with his stag patronus in the Forbidden Forest. This was quite a struggle to get right, but I'm pleased with the end result. :)

As this is a commission, please DO NOT use this design for your own purposes, especially for a tattoo of your own. Thanks. ^_^

ART: "Arabian Night" (Draco/Hermione)

2008-06-06T13:28:46Z

Another commission! An incredibly long overdue one for the lovely jadarene, who has the patience of a saint for waiting whilst I got my muse to behave. Thank you! This is an illustration for jadarene's Draco/Hermione fic Arabian Knight, which was a rather fun romp to read. I enjoyed illustrating it very much. :D

Title: Arabian Night
Pairing: Draco/Hermione
Rating: PG-13
Notes: As this is a commission, please do NOT use this artwork without jadarene's permission first. :)

ART: "Dreams, take 2" (Snape/Harry)

2008-06-03T21:03:04Z

Way back when in 2004, when I was still relatively new in fandom and my art style had yet to mature, accioslash commissioned me for a cute snuggly Snarry picture, where Harry looks not quite 16. *coughs*

Accio commissioned me again this week to redo said Snarry picture, this time in pencil, with aged up Harry and Snape with reading glasses. :D I tried something a bit different with my pencil shading, and I'm quite pleased with the result. *wonders if anyone except me will notice the difference!*

Title: Dreams, take 2
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Rating: PG
Medium: good old pencil
Notes: Since this is a commission, please do NOT use the art for your own use without accioslash's permission first.

2008-06-01T19:06:50Z

Here is another fairy tattoo design, commissioned by the lovely lnalvgd! She wanted something to go with an existing tattoo she has of a moon and lotus flower. :D

Collab with snegurochka_lee! "Yes, Master" (Snape/Lupin)

2008-03-27T00:13:35Z

snegurochka_lee and I have been working on this collab for the past few months, and it's been oodles of fun! Lee is an absolute delight to work with, and her writing makes me fall to the ground in awe. ♥♥♥!! I told her right from the outset: "I want to expand my repetoire - kink and filth pls!" *grins* Thus we bring you.....

Title: Yes, Master
Author: snegurochka_lee
Artist: lizardspots
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Rating: Fic is NC-17; Art is NWS.
Word count: ~10,200
Warnings: Explicit BDSM. They-didn't-die AU, although canon-compliant up to that.
Summary: Snape had spent twenty years of his life bearing the mark of a glowing green skull on one arm and summoning a silver doe with the other, and adapting to life without either would require some changes. A servant without a master, after all, was simply a fool on his knees.
Notes: A fic/art collaboration for slashfest Round VI. Many thanks to swtalmnd for art beta, islandsmoke for fic beta, and wook77 for her modly patience. :D

( original fic/art post at slashfest )

( fic/art post on Lee's IJ )

I hope you all enjoy! This is my filthiest drawing to date, and I wasn't disturbed in the slightest. *glee* I do believe Lee is a bad influence. :P

TEH RETURN OF LIZARDJUNK.NET

2008-03-18T19:33:48Z

I guess there's no way of making this announcement other than being brisk and hoping for the best, but.... Over 2 years ago, I took my website offline to refurbish and update it. Since then, it has suffered all manner of dreadful setbacks. By now, I'm sure the majority of you have all but lost interest in yet another fanartist's website. Nevertheless, I shall persevere.

But finally, thanks to the tireless and patient efforts of my dear, wonderful web designer, we proudly present to you:

Lizard Junk Dot Net

Isn't it gorgeous!? *beams with delight* It's got funky javascript and scrollover lizard motifs and other splendid little things. There are still a few minor things that need to be fixed, so please bear with us while those are sorted out.

So, please go and browse and click around, and if you are so inclined, let us know what you think either here or on the site guestbook.

I hope you enjoy!

ART: "Increments" (Harry/Charlie)

2008-03-04T17:13:39Z

Title: Increments
Pairing: Harry/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Notes: This is the art I did for florahart as part of hpvalensmut 2008. :D! It's an illustration of a scene from her amazing fic Increments Of One, and I only hope this drawing goes some way to show how much I enjoyed that story. ♥ Many thanks to nqdonne for her excellent vile enabling skills and constant source of inspiration. Once again, she's saved my arse. :B

Original post with comments here.

My Harry/Teddy gift fic was by the lovely darkladyvamp!! Thank you so very much, hon, I really enjoyed my gift! ♥

In other crappy news, I have been AWOL with mountains of work sitting on my head.

In further news of interest, I am growing my hair long and am becoming quite enamoured of all the possible funny braids and buns I can do to it eventually. Mother is pleased, says I'm looking less modern.

And in final news of jubilation, I passed my driving theory test about an hour ago. *dances about* PWN, hazard perception. PWWWWWN.

ART: "Hell Bent & Heaven Bound" (Harry/Draco)

2008-02-04T17:37:19Z

Title: Hell Bent & Heaven Bound
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Medium: Open Canvas
Notes: This is a COMMISSION for the lovely melusinahp, who asked for an illustration from her H/D fic Hell Bent & Heaven Bound. Sorry to everyone if the image is a bit too dark for your screens.

This is my second foray into defying my delicate sensibilities and drawing spunk. :P Funny how it doesn't bother me in the slightest anymore.

Sibling Birthday Joy:
'Twas my little brother's 12th birthday in the weekend, and I persuaded my mum to buy him this racing video game that he's been dying for. My mother, being a high school teacher, always insists on buying him "useful" presents, but the poor boy kind of sucks at being diligent with his studies, so I stepped in.

I then took him and his friend from school to the cinema to watch, horror of horrors, Alvin & The Chipmunks.

....

90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. God, it was SO BAD. I can't even articulate how much I actually wanted to leave the cinema. xD But I must admit, the songs were dreadfully catchy, in that annoying, sticks-in-your-head-no-matter-how-much-you-hate-it way. The way that Crazy Frog or something by the Vengaboys will keep going onnn and onnn and onnn and onnn in your head when you're trying to concentrate on something.

....

Blast, now I have Aqua stuck in my head.

Pairing: Tsuzuki/Hisoka (I think... I can't remember the names, sorry!)
Rating: G
Medium: Ink and watercolours
Notes: This is a COMMISSION for raelinschaos so do not use this art for any graphics without her permission first. I drew this as a birthday present for raelinschaos' friend Niall, so I wasn't allowed to post it back in December when I actually drew it, hehe. I am informed that he was pleased with his present. :D I hope you all enjoy, too! It was fun to try an unfamiliar fandom. :)

Although I can see lots of mistakes in this picture, I think it turned out well overall. I'm going to be using this pic for my new art website layout. :B

Title: A Cruce Salus
Character: Draco
Rating: very NC-17. Warning for dark(ish) themes.
Notes: Tablet on Open Canvas. I drew this back in February 2005 for a project which unfortunately fell through.

Yes, that's a bottle of poison. No, he's not dead. Yet. Haha. *points to the suicide note* I reckon he 's a Deatheater whore "sold" to Voldemort by his own father.

Title: Bubbles
Pairing: Cedric/Harry
Rating: R, bordering on NC-17 for a small hint of cock
Media: Pencil on paper, coloured in Open Canvas
Notes: I drew this back in 2005, immediately after I'd seen Goblet of Fire at the cinema. :D Prefect's Bathroom, yaye! Warnings for underaged nookie, obviously....

Always makes me laugh how ridiculously popular this picture was, despite it being such a crappily coloured rough sketch. *snickers* Robert Pattinson inspired a hell of a lot of new Cedric/Harry fans. ;DDDD

ART: Fairy tattoo design

2008-01-13T20:13:03Z

This is a COMMISSION for magic_at_mungos, who asked me to design a cute Luna-like fairy for her new tattoo. I'm really pleased with how this came out. :)

Please DO NOT take this image for your own use. That would be very naughty.

I'm finding this tattoo design malarky surprisingly fun! :D Who'da thunk?

Fanart Year In Review: 2007

2008-01-09T14:04:29Z

Sorry for the lateness of my year in review... I had to wait til the winter fest reveals were all posted, and then I had to fix all the posts from the first half of the year from before my website crashed. Blergh.

Anyway! On with the show!!

~Summary~

Total decent art I drew this year: 30 (an average of 1 drawing every 12 days)
Bonus!: 1 fic posted, whee
Rated G: 11
Rated PG-13: 2
Rated R: 6
Rated NC-17: 12

Very poor productivity this year compared to 2006 and 2005 - I blame the horrors of my first clinical year at uni, which didn't end til late August >:0! But a relatively high proportion of smut, clocking in at 60% rated R and above. I have also, at long last, broken my spunk-drawing cherry with Snape/James desk!porn. *grins*

( art for this year, with bonus statistics! )

2008-01-09T02:23:32Z

This was a sketch I drew for alisanne on her last day in London (I cleaned it up a wee bit in Open Canvas). She wrote a cute smutty ficlet to go with it, awww. So I guess this could be called our first collab! ^_^

Pairing: Snape/Harry
Rating: NC-17, not-work-safe art within the fic post
Author notes: 682 words. Harry wants something more out of his life. Beta'd by sevfan.

ART x 2: the Deathly Hallows canon ships

2008-01-09T02:14:43Z

nessime_lisen kindly sent me photos she took of some of the art I sketched in people's copies of Deathly Hallows. Here are two of them. I'll post more later in the weekend/next week.

Spoilers for Deathly Hallows, obviously. :)!

First, for nessime_lisen:

Harry/Draco, set during the victory celebrations. Draco doesn't feel he belongs there. Aww. Totally canon! :D

And also, for maryx_:

Snape/Lily, aged 10 or something, sitting under the tree before they're aware Petunia's spying on them. OMG SO CUTE. ♥ Otp 4eva.
