It's that time of year again: Small Fandom Bang! This round I got paired with melime & bruna_g who wrote a wonderful fic you can find here. It's much more introspective and evocative than action-based, so I figured a more Symbolist take would suit (which was totally intentional...). I imagine this as the moment directly after the fic. Enjoy!

Ahhh, I can't believe I got this wipbigbang art claim done, and on time! This piece kicked my ass and it's not quite what I envisioned but it still came out pretty cool if I do say so myself. This is from the climax of Broken_Twisted_Lullabies' intriguing fic, which you can find here! The main submission is the first pic, the rest are some detail shots and a glimpse at my process making this.

Art Warnings: religious imagery, unconsciousness, fic spoilers

Oh hey, sorry this is a billion late but for wipbigbang I did a pinch hit for "We're at the lost and found" by mercurialkitty, which you can find here. It has a lot of great imagery, so much so that in my first draft I couldn't decide what to draw so I had a bunch of the torn out pages also in this drawing, but it turned out to be way beyond my skill level, so I settled for what I have now. I definitely wanted to include two of the major Cas characterization moments, which is what we have here. Weirdly I've never drawn SPN before I don't think? Anywho this is probably the hardest thing I've ever drawn but I'm happy with it, though once again the camera doesn't do it justice (especially the metallics on the title page).

Fic Title: Nature Full of Grace
Fic Author: noxelementalist
Fandom: Power Rangers Wild Force
Type: traditional
Media: paper, coloured pencil
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Cole/Merrick
Warnings: implied sexual intimacy

(LJ deleted my work and I had to start over, keeping it classy) I always end up in the strangest places for smallfandombang, and this Round I watched Power Rangers for the first time, which was an experience. For the second year in a row, I've been paired with the wonderful noxelementalist, whose fic you can find here! There was plenty of good material to work from, but I decided to keep it simple and just draw their little plaids. Why I thought plaid would be simple is beyond me considering how unforgiving coloured pencil can be, but I did learn a lot about topography and how not to draw carpet! I've included a banner version and the original drawing.

Fic Title: An angry gorilla with the kitchen sink
Fic Author: noxelementalist
Fandom: Teen Beach Movie
Type: diorama/calligraphy
Media: paper, pen/pencil/printer ink, Kitchen Bouquet, MS Publisher, VSCO
Rating: G
Characters/Pairings: Butchy/Tanner, Giggles
Warnings: NA

Oh wow, so for like the first time possibly ever I finished an art project long before it was due!! I had a blast making this for smallfandombang, despite having to restart Butchy's letter like 30 times and fighting with my printer. Because the letters in noxelementalist's fic, which you can find here, are described in such detail, I went ahead and wrote them out. Things I learned way too much about in researching for this project: 20th century handwriting instruction (including Palmer, Zaner-Bloser, and D'Nealian scripts), motor oil, Kodachrome, 60s food fads, ballpoint pens, kawaii culture (specifically the historical emergence of dotting i's with hearts-- it starts later than this period if you were curious). I'm honestly surprised it turned out as well as it did because my regular handwriting's atrocious, also it is REALLY HARD writing like someone else, let alone three people (well, two-and-a-half, Giggles' is just mine but neater and slightly more period). Also this gave me a chance to mess around with VSCO's new Kodachrome filter which is uncannily accurate. ANYWHO, the first pic is the actual submission, the rest are detail shots of the letters; you can find larger versions on my LJ post.

Fic Author: froggydarren
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Type: traditional
Media: pastel and pencil on paper
Art Rating: G
Characters/Pairings: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Warnings: n/a

Oh hey! So originally I was gonna finish a fic for wipbigbang, but, well, I didn't, but then I saw that froggydarren was doing a Teen Wolf fic with Stiles in "girl's" clothes, which if you haven't guessed is Really Important to me (you can find the fic here). SO, I did a Thing and you can see it below. I still haven't gotten the hang of faces, but whatever.

Title: Let the Water Take Me
Type:femslash, trans girl!Stiles AU, monster-of-the-week, hurt/comfort, established relationship
Word Count: ~5600
Rating: NC-17
Characters/Pairings: Lydia Martin/Stiles Stilinski, past Derek Hale/Stilinski, Scott McCall/Kira Yukimura
Warnings: body dysphoria
Summary: Stiles pisses off some mermaids and might be turning into one? At least her girlfriend is there to piece her back together.

A/N: I'm really glad I got to write this, based off of witchaphe's art for twreversebang, which can be found here. Trans!Stiles will always be my weakness.

Title: I Need to Breathe and You're the Only Air
Mix: I Need to Breathe and You're the Only Air
Mixer: tryslora
Type: slash, queerplatonic relationships
Word Count: 12k
Rating: NC-17
Characters/Pairings: Derek Hale/+Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale/Original Character, Stiles Stilinski/Malia Tate
Warnings: rape/non-con (dream sequence only), infidelity, emotional abuse, victim blaming, Nice Guy trope, homophobia and biphobia (internalized and externalized)

Summary: Stiles learns the hard way that relationships aren't his thing. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to make it work with Malia. Of course, Derek accidentally falling for him at the same time just makes matters worse.

Nine years in the life of Derek and Stiles. Plot twist: They're not in love. But that doesn't stop them from caring.

A/N: I'm very excited to present my submission for bigbang_mixup, which you can find here! It was based off of this mix by tryslora which is still stuck in my head. As always, betaed by the delightful Raven.

Agh!  Finals week, why you steal my soul?!  Here's the artwork I've done for bunn's delightful story The White Hare as part of smallfandombang (finally). SO sorry for the wait (a month?!), and hope you enjoy! I'm actually pretty proud of it, considering. PS sorry the photo quality is bad; it's a lot better in person I promise!

Title: Lip Gloss and Black
Type: femslash, vampire!au
Word Count: 3k
Rating: M
Characters/Pairings: Julia Baccari | Jennifer Blake / Kali
Warnings: language, some sexuality, xenophobia, canon-typical violence
Summary:
In literature— Julia only really cares about literature and hunting— the vampire is a figure of seduction, of temptation to evil, literalized by the voluptuous figure of a woman. And if ever there were a walking cliché, it would be Kali.

A/N: Sorry I'm late!  As part of twreversebang, here is my story based on this artwork by kymericl.  One of these days I'm gonna figure these two out.
