I hope I can write one next time around. I miss writing fic.

It's hard to say what will grab an artist's eye. It's certainly random as shit.
I can't imagine how you'd choose, honestly, other than weeding out the Do Not Want. Total sensory overload.
Anyhow, I got picked! Off to stalk my artist-to-be...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm learning that apparently people make arrangements beforehand and pretend they're picking blind.
I feel a sense of moral superiority that I didn't do that.
Then again, watch me have a miserable experience and come back next year and only illustrate Buffista stories.
I can't imagine how you'd choose, honestly, other than weeding out the Do Not Want.
Honestly? I started by reading all the D/C and passing on it because it sounded scary to draw, and then to the gen, and started wondering if the authors would hate me, and then I panicked and picked one who mentioned characters I liked. No doubt my author has never heard of me and is wondering what they're going to do with a black and white artist who draws D/C bondage and schmoop.
Man, I at least wish this had happened after the spn_cinema posting. It's not my best work, but it does make me look a bit more diverse, I think. But I don't post until next Friday.
Author? Call me!

I felt really guilty that with the BB I bailed on, I got a photoshop artist. I was so disappointed. Which wasn't the reason I bailed, but I wanted real art so much.
Which must sound terribly snobbish to people who shop stuff for fun, but it's just not what I wanted, when there are so many fabulous traditional artists out there.

Most manippers don't do art I enjoy looking at. And often, the better it is executed, the creepier I find it. So it's a no-win situation.
As for people who composite...I don't even know what to call it...you need to be REALLY good for me to feel as satisfied looking at it as at a middling good traditional or digital artist's work.
It's not that I necessarily think it's easy, or that I could do it, but it's just something about the finished product that lacks satisfaction.

I just PM'd my artist. She's a photoshop artist, which is something I'd normally be leery of, but I like her style.

Sn is today? My local rag says it is being displaced by 2 hour smallville. Of course they are famous for getting everything wrong.

My author hates me and is ignoring me. It's the only possible conclusion.
Castiel looks us in the eye in fifteen minutes. Well, you, anyway. Not me for another three plus.
I wonder how much fuckery they're going to put the boys' relationships through tonight. ::sigh::
