There were many different short fics on offer in this round of the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang. For my second claim I chose a story with a whole bunch of intriguing tropes; it has timetravel, young Dean & older Sam plus Mpreg! Anyone of those may not be everyone's cup of tea, but as an artist I love to explore all sorts of visuals and I really wanted to put Dean in that big old leather jacket again;)

This was not my first try at imagining Mpreg, but I had not tried to capture it digitally before, and it took me a while to figure out. The result is an endbanner that's behind the cut, together with animated Making Ofs of the storybanner. If you want to see full size versions of either one of the banners, simply click on the images. I hereby present:

Very cool to see the enthusiasm by both authors and artists when I opened another round of the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang. I didn't know what to expect with Supernatural having come to an end and the world (and Livejournal) being what it is at the moment. Yay, fandom!
I was excited to grab a fic myself. Of course then work got busy and I struggled to find energy to get creative, but I used my spare time to brainstorm, so when I was ready to start, I had a full idea of what I wanted to do. My initial design for the story banner showed the whole scene, but I last minute decided on a different framing to make it less spoilery and that made it look more like a book cover, haha. May I present:

The latest challenge in [livejournal.com profile] landofart was called Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me! Obviously this meant that your design had to feature pirates in any shape or form:) From the allowed types of graphics I chose to make Bookmarks, because I like experimenting with those vertically focused dimensions of 300x800 pixels. (Click on the image for the full size version)

I did some research for female pirates and learned about Mary Read and Anne Bonny of whom I found cool old drawings (probably wood cuts from the look of it) that I used in my creations.
For my other two bookmarks I played with some old art I had made myself for the 2011 SPN Cinema Challenge, featuring J3. I fiddled with Pirate JDM:

P.S. I put up the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang Artmasterlist! Go check out all the different artists that joined in this year; I love that it's a very broad collection of art styles:)

beelikej: (GayBoys)
Yay, I had time to choose another short story to make art for in the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang! I had originally planned to do a digital design, but then this fic had a sexy visual that I had the perfect paper for it, so I was inspired to create another papercut piece.

I had a fun time (un)dressing Sam, find out in the fic how Dean feels about it!

Every time I play with paper I learn more techniques and tricks. I'm still not the most organized when I start out with my silly sketches, but I'm getting better at making some sort of plan. It helps that the days are getting longer and I have more light available for extended photoshoots due to fiddling too much;)

When I opened a new round of the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang and chose a story to illustrate back in February, I didn't know what crazy social distancing times were ahead. I'm glad I had this fandom project to distract and amuse me during self isolation. I hope the result and the fic it was inspired by bring a little joy into your life too! I happily present:

Summary: That time back in 1988 when Sam breaks his arm & Dean has to somehow get them both to the emergency room on his bicycle handlebars.

While working on the composition I had some additional thoughts about wee Sam and Dean ... They are in between the picspam and my babbling about the work in progress.

The Making of )

Thank you, [livejournal.com profile] sarcasticplight, for sharing your fic in the QuickyBang and for being patient while I played with these two. I love the trip down memorylane that you created, it's a great little background story to the Supernatural canon.

Do you also want a short SPN/RPF story to make art for? This round of the Quicky_Bang is extended until April; CLAIM FIC HERE!

beelikej: (Daniel Radcliffe)
Woohoo, managed to make reservations for two plays in London in March and July. The latter will be Hamlet with Cush Jumbo at the Young Vic; the first one is Endgame with Alan Cumming, Daniel Radcliffe and Jane Horrocks at the Old Vic. Looking forward to making arrangements for both these weekends. If you're in the UK and want to meet up for a cup of tea in London or anywhere else, let me know! I'm an introvert hermit, but I do like chatting over a (non alcoholic) drink or meal:)

I signed up for a February reading buddy in the [livejournal.com profile] thestoryinside to help me pick what to read next from my 2020 bookpile [DW]. It's a lovely low pressure community where you can chat about books in all genres (including non-fiction). If you would like a bookbuddy too (you get to make a readinglist for them!) - go to this post.

I'm planning to organize another round of the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang. Last time there were plenty of authors and awesome short fics, but a rather low ratio of artists, as per usual in fandom. So I want to warm up first by doing a head count of interested fandom artists. Go here to let me know if you're an artist up for a quicky and spread the word among your social media, please!

Another fandom hangout I'd like to promote is the Sunday Morning Porn Club, aka [livejournal.com profile] smpc; we'd love for more naughty authors and artists to become active members! Of course consumers of pervy pleasures are also always welcome. You are invited to squee or give input on how to make your Sundays better, here:)

Last but not least, a short update on life.
On Friday I had a bit of a surprise, when two years after menopause I got another period. What the fuck, body. I've been having such a lovely relaxed life, don't want to start this mess again. I did some reading and apparently this can happen for 7-10 years? Can I nope out of this? Now I'm even happier with my bath bucket [DW], because soaking in a warm bubblebath for a couple of hours was exactly what I needed. <3

My elbow is healing nicely; I tried to get the stitches out today, but I couldn't reach well enough to cut through them with my left hand. So I do have to wait until my dinner with mom on Wednesday and she can help me with that:)

Went to a really cool presentation on Deep Learning and how to train a computer to recognize bridges, which could be very helpful for collection of geodata in the future. I definitely want to explore the more technical side of GIS, so this was inspirational and gave me a few ideas on how to expand my potential jobsearch (because my contract is unfortunately not indefinitely).
Next month I will train a new group of MGCP data collectors again, so the next few weeks I will be busy updating the course and instruction manuals. There may be some changes coming to the workplace that I'm not too sure about, but I'm still enjoying the day-to-day exploring of the world (currently checking out Venezuela!), so I'll hold on to that until we know more about the future.

In the meantime I also hope to find joy in making some more Japan picspams;)

beelikej: (Chibi Azazel)
Of course I had to grab another awesome ficlet in this round of the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang! I claimed a story featuring Mary Winchester and a twist on the origine of the Supernatural canon. My artwork turned out to be a bit on the conceptual side I think, but I was commited to my first idea and even though I struggled to pull the whole piece together, I had fun fiddling with Azazel. This is the result:

Wahey, a new round of the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang! I plan to claim more fics until the BigBang starts in May;) My first choice was this intense Sam & Dean story that inspired me to make paper handcuffs. They are only partly visible in the banner, because I wanted the focus to be on the pills. You can see the full artwork below, including a peek behind the scenes of how I put the whole image together. May I present:

As a mod, I know what abundance of awesome fics is still available in the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang MatchMaker Challenge and I couldn't resist going for a double date to pick another short story to play with. It did take me a little longer than the two weeks I had planned to get the art finished, due to emergencies in other communities I had to take care of. Then I had issues photographing the papercuttings, but eventually, only four days late, I got it all together, yay! Here's the result (and a glimpse of the many different versions I made behind the scenes;)

Thank you, whispered_story for offering your lovely Sam & Dean story in the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang.

One of my favorite art challenges, if I do say so myself, is the MatchMaker Challenge at the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang (which is still running, by the way!). I chose a Speed Date, which meant I got to pick one of three surprise fics to make art for within a week.
I may have taken an extra day for finishing touches, but other than that, I followed the rules. After I read the story, I went with the first visual that came into my head, struggled for a while to avoid procrastination and dove into my arts & crafts corner. Here's the result!

Every time I open a new round of the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang I worry a little about participation and every time I'm blown away by the enthusiasm of authors offering up their short stories. I love that I get to discover so many lovely little gems in fandom and that I get to play with beloved characters in new situations. How do y'all come up with these beauties? My first claim is a must-read from an outsider perspective. A very special point of view from... a car, that is getting very excited upon seeing the Winchesters and Baby! Well, we all know that feeling, right? May I present:

My cold black heart...it.is.melting.... ;-) The Quicky_Bang is just such a great opportunity to try things I've never dared to do before.

So thrilled to see all the fics on offer in the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang, it's awesome that this little comm of mine is being discovered by more people in fandom:) Of course I dived in the pile of submissions myself and I grabbed this darling short story about young Sam & Dean, aaahw.

The purpose of the Quicky_Bang is to poke the muse and get creative right after reading, so I went with the first visual that popped into my head and started fidding with paper. Meet Spot!

Snot is not completely gone yet, but I can breathe through my nose again and I seemed to have been able to avoid moving on to the barking cough (although I haven't slept through the night yet without waking up from an extremely dry throat, so keep your fingers crossed). Did of course work throughout the week, because it beats being bored at home;)

I've opened up a new round of the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang, so here's a call out to all SPN/RPF authors to submit short fics so us needy artists can claim them and get creative! There are already some stories on offer for eager artists, GOGOGO!



Other fandom news: I'M GOING TO THE SPN CONVENTION IN BIRMINGHAM!!! I know, I know: for years I've been saying a con isn't my thing and I still stand by that, but I'd already bought myself a ticket for the Saturday Night Special (because a concert is different from a con, okay and Birmingham is so relatively close, shush) and then the day tickets went up for sale and the costs for a Sunday seat were acceptable, so I went for it.
I still have to arrange travel and organize a place to sleep, but that will have to wait until after I have paid for the GIS course I'm starting this week.
Even though I am a hermit and a loner, I do love to meet up with fellow fangirls, so if you are going to this CON too, let me know! (PM or mail is cool if you don't want to expose yourself). It's also perfectly fine to not want to meet me there and only share that you're going, you won't hurt my feelings, but we can squeeeeeeeeeeeeee, yay;)

Oh, right, the course, don't think I mentioned that here yet. This Friday I will start a course called Cartography in GIS (Geographic Information Systems). So instead of working on Fridaymornings, I will be getting up even earlier to travel to the GeoFort to learn more about making maps professionally. Since this training will benefit my employer, they pay part of the bill and the rest will be taken from my weekly salary. That's why I can't make arrangements for Birmingham until I get fully paid again. Hey, I'll go camping there if I have to, but I WILL be there in MAY. Who's with me?

After all the preparations for the SPN_ReverseBang, as both a moderator and a participating artist, things finally settled down last week when we handed things over to the authors *grins* This gave me a chance to check the Last Minute Quickies for a fun fast fandom project. Besides speed, one of the other challenging things of the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang is that there are a lot of rare pairs and characters that I don't often get to play with. I was happy to grab a short story featuring bad boys Chad and Chris.

May I present:

Starting the [livejournal.com profile] quicky_bang community was one of my best ideas:) For this new round once again a whole bunch of awesome authors offered up their short stories and it's such a eclectic collection, a true treasure trove for artists who want to be inspired quickly. I chose a fic with a character I hadn't portrayed before and this time I really stuck to the no procrastination part of the challenge. I read the story, sketched an idea and went with it.

Of course doubt set in after I sent the result to my darling author and I started all over again with a digital version. Tsk, tsk. I ended up with two very different headers, but I'm putting the spotlight on my original idea. May I present:
