Very nice! It's so cute.

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ^__^

Oh PLS let this be his outfit for his theater bit in Feb.

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope so. I hope Stev ops for the Sugar Plum costume. James is probably used to tights and leotards from his "Modern Dance" classes in high school, but Stev is probably going to be a little... chaffed. XD

[bendy1.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, the whole event with Stev picking the knickers out of his bum.

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

Better him doing it himself than James. ^_~

[bendy1.livejournal.com]

Oh I dunno. Although it might be worth a slightly higher ticket value.

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

I pay to see it. Of course, I'd pay for anything involving Stev Himba in tights. James is just a bonus. XD

Charming painting!

Thank you! ^__^

Lovely as usual :D How long does it take you to make each one?

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Each image is different in how long it takes. Sometimes, I really get into an illustration and it doesn't take as long. I think this one took about three days. At a minimum, these usually take at least two.

Beautiful! That's so well done. Love the costumes.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it!

That's so sweet of you, fender, and it's so pretty! Have you read the Spred fic "Her Saving Grace" by authoressnebula? Its first chapter has an impromptu little ballet scene like your picture, but without the costumes:

See, now, I missed this one and it's PINK!!!

SQUEEEEEEEE! with candy canes and ... Spike and candy and tights oh my!!

so glad I peeked.

SQUEEEEEEEE! PINK!

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

Hehe, yes, lots and lots of pink. XD I'm actually doing a series of images for ballet with Spike so he'll be in tights a lot. XD
I think I need to post this to nekid_spike because I don't think I did before. LOL.

Exquisitely beautiful!

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D

Oh! Oh! *is super excited* I love, love, love the ballet - and this inspires Fred/Spike Nutcracker fantasies. *sigh* Perfectly wonderful, fender.

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I actually planned out to do the entire Nutcracker Suite in artworks. I got so fair as Sugar Plum Fred and Prince Coqueluche Spike up there, and then my Arabian Coffee with Angel and Spike... I have sketches for the other food-related dances as well. Spike and Drusilla are going to be Russian Peppermint, for example... if I could ever find the time to finish them all. XD

[maryfic.livejournal.com]

That would be an epic series of artwork. And I would swoon. *g*
