the blaze lasted a few hours.

"See, this is the good bit about writing. It's what keeps you going. It's the wild rush of 'shit, did I think of that?' with all kinds of weird chemicals shunting around your brain and ideas and images and moments and storyforms all opening up snapsnapsnap in your mind, a mass of new and unrealised possibilities.

It's ten past two in the morning, and I'm completely wired, caught up in the new thing, shivering and laughing and glowing in the dark. Just as well it's the middle of the night. No-one would be safe from me right now. I could read their minds and take over their heartbeats with a glare.

Faster than the speed of anyone.

That's how it works."

ART: two fanart, one original and my sketchbook cover

Title: Doorway
Characters: Death (The Sandman)
Rating: G
Medium: Ballpoint pen, pencil
Notes: Ugh anatomy.

( June 1 )

Title: Sweet Transvestite
Rating: G
Medium: Ink & nib pen, watercolour
Notes: I lovelovelove my new nib pen, even though it makes crazy squeaky noises like it's being tortured sometimes. I might be doin it rong. But the varying line weight, oh, it is pretty. Strictly speaking this is fanart for a really obscure Norwegian novel, but I'll let it slide as original for now.

( June 15 )

Title: Pansy Drew
Characters: Pansy (Harry Potter)
Prompt: 04. Found It
Rating: G
Medium: Ink & nib pen, photoshop
Notes: My sincerest apologies for the corny title, I couldn't help it. This is for

tbranch, who recently walked through a plate glass window. D:

( June 17 )

And finally, not really art, but here's the ( cover of my current sketchbook )

ART: Curl / ART: In Idleness

Title: Curl
Characters: Narcissa
Prompt: 50. Smoke [Artist's Choice]
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, Photoshop, brushes from here
Comments/criticism: Yes, please.
Notes: Inspired by the 1940s-ish style of women drawn for the New Yorker. And no, that isn't some crazy wizard crack she's smoking, it's a wand holder. :>

( It looks like a cigarette holder, but... )

Title: In Idleness
Characters: Pansy
Prompt: 06. What Now?
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, Photoshop
Comments/criticism: Yes, please.
Notes: An older Pansy, drawn in (an imitation of) the style of Lan Medina in Fables Vol. 1: Legends in Exile. Both colour and grayscale because I couldn't make up my mind which one looked best.

( Love-in-idleness, n. One of many old names for the pansy, a cultivated garden flower. )

ART: Black Sisters

Title: Black Sisters
Characters: Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa
Prompt: 19. When I Was Young
Rating: G
Medium: Artist pens, darkened in Photoshop
Comments/criticism: Yes, please.
Notes: A drawing to celebrate this and this; fifty friend-ofs on this journal (the fifty-first is me and doesn't count!), and two thousand visitors to my website since it started. (Of course, I worked in a

fanart50 prompt, too.)

( :D )

ART: Façade

Title: Façade
Characters: Bellatrix
Prompt: 49. Before [Artist's Choice]
Rating: G
Medium: Artist pens, darkened in Photoshop
Comments/criticism: Yes, please.
Notes: Another quick(ish) drawing, very much inspired by Julie Hill (these curls wither and die in comparison to hers, of course). IMO, Bellatrix wasn't always quite as batshit; there must have been some years where she at least occasionally would conceal her particular career choice.

( She hadn't always looked evil. )

ART: Disdain

Title: Disdain
Characters: Narcissa
Prompt: 10. Power
Rating: G
Medium: Pencil
Comments/criticism: Is welcome.
Notes: It's funny; how you can sit down and sketch something in five minutes, and be infinitely more happy with it than a lot of your drawings that took hours. It's happened before, and now it just happened again. Augh! (This one's Narcissa, distinguishable as such only by the look on her face, and barely that.)

( She can only see past the tip of her nose if she's looking down it. )

ART: Or You'll Fall In

Title: Or You'll Fall In
Characters: Regulus, Voldemort
Prompt: 18. Cold
Rating: PG for a recently dead body. Nothing horrific, though.
Medium: Ink, Photoshop, texture from here
Comments/criticism: Please.
Notes: One minute I'm drawing happy pregnant couples, the next I'm drawing dead guys. Er. Watch me procrastinate and flaunt my suddenly-returned Photoshop skills?

( Trot, trot to Boston... )

ART: Firstborn

Title: Firstborn
Characters: Narcissa, Lucius
Prompt: 13. Growing
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, coloured pencils
Comments/criticism: Is appreciated.
Notes: A pregnant Narcissa, with Lucius. (It sounds like a box set.) If it weren't for

katecarden and

spoonfuloftears at

artbeta, Lucius would've looked like a girl, so thanks to them. ♥ Also thank you Caroline

leka_moya for getting me reacquainted with cross-hatching. :D

( They were young, once. )

P.S. You'll never guess who I used as a reference for their bodies without clicking this.

ART: Hogwarts Express

Title: Hogwarts Express
Characters: Draco, Pansy
Prompt: 41. Lucky
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, artist pens, coloured pencils
Comments/criticism: Yes please.
Notes: The scene in HBP when Harry is hidden on the luggage rack beneath the Invisibility Cloak. Please excuse my Gryffindorising of the train compartment--I didn't realise it until I scanned the drawing. :3 I'm getting really sick of coloured pencils, but I'm not sure if I can be bothered to learn how to use something else.

( Anyone would have loved to be in her place. )

ART: Mistress Narcissa Malfoy, and Her Son, Master Draco Malfoy

Title: Mistress Narcissa Malfoy, and Her Son, Master Draco Malfoy
Characters: Narcissa, Draco
Prompt: 09. Protection
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, acrylic paint, coloured pencils
Comments/criticism: I do know that the anatomy is off, and there are some visible spots where I had to piece together the four scans, but go ahead.
Notes: This was actually done for art class--an adaptation of Boldini's painting of nearly the same name--but I used it for

fanart50 too.

( He reminded her of his father. )

Title: Vanishing Cabinet
Characters: Draco Malfoy
Prompt: 12. Waiting
Rating: G
Medium: Pencil, Photoshop
Comments/criticism: Is welcome.
Notes: Blah blah angsty!Draco letting the Death Eaters into Hogwarts this is clearly me avoiding my homework.

( At one point Draco realised this maybe wasn't such a good idea after all. )

Title: Counting
Characters: Bellatrix
Prompt: 05. The Writing on the Wall
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, coloured pencil, artist pens, Photoshop
Comments/criticism: Yes, please.
Notes: Yes, she was supposed to look unbalanced, but not quite this literally. Oops.

( A few hundred days in Azkaban would make the best of us go mad. )

ART: Then They Were His

Title: Then They Were His
Characters: Lucius, Narcissa, Bellatrix, Regulus, Snape
Prompt: 43. Bring It
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, coloured pencil, Photoshop
Comments/criticism: Yes, please.
Notes: According to the new Black Family Tree the ages in this are completely off; when Bellatrix was in her 7th year, Lucius was in his 4th, Narcissa in her 3rd, Snape wasn't starting Hogwarts for another two years and Regulus for three. Then again (according to that family tree) Bella's dad was thirteen when she was born, so. :>

( Consistent character design, what? )

Title: Tangled Up In You
Characters: Draco, Pansy
Prompt: 22. Good Morning
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, coloured pencil, plus a bit of Photoshop for the lighting
Comments/criticism: Certainly.
Notes: My first drawing for

fanart50! (I've clearly gone mad.) The title is from the song Collide by Howie Day.

( The dawn is breaking; a light shining through. You're barely waking, and I'm tangled up in you. )
