Once upon a time...

Some of you might remember Victor Drujiniu's incredible sample pages for BtVS S9 that were sadly removed from Deviantart due to some misunderstanding along with his character sheets for Buffy, Angel, and Spike. However, there is good news! He has reuploaded the sample pages (and hopefully the character sheets will follow). I love his artwork, and no matter what the story was I might have bought these comics had he been chosen to continue to the story (even if that story was shit).

Story Sample A:
Page One: Buffy, Angel, and Spike are in a late Georgian-esque hotel (possibly in Europe). Buffy sits on her bed with her computer while Angel stands around and Spike rummages through a drawer. There are maps and notes stuck all over the crumbling walls. Angel seems particularly grim (as he should have been given what transpired in Season Eight), and Spike says something with a smirk, and Buffy looks like she's going to punch one or both of them.
Page Two: Angel takes a defensive posture, saying something, as Spike continues his scavenger hunt. Spike hands Buffy something, possibly the mini-cam for her laptop. Buffy pulls up a communications system and is able to talk to Xander via the Interwebs.

Story Sample B:
Page One: In what looks to be Buffy's old Sunnydale house, Xander and Buffy are having a conversation in the kitchen (which has been remodeled to look more medieval-y and has more brickwork). Xander appears to be more serious in the conversation than Buffy is as she pours milk into a bowl (of cereal?). Spike appears in the doorway, nonchalant. Xander seems confused, pointing to his neck. Perhaps, Buffy replies, and Xander appears shocked. Looking rather amused, Buffy continues to eat her cereal.

I don't know what the full extent of these storylines were or if they were just randomness handed out for the potential artists to draw, but I like these. The artwork is phenomenal.

I thought I would share a little artwork I did today of the NPCs from my Vampire: the Requiem game I'm starting. I've still gotta colour this, but I want to wait until I have the descriptions of all the players' characters (I'm going to add them in cameos inside of a styled border around the main image). I can't wait to get the game going next week! I've got a really neat storyline cooked up for my players.

Some of you are going to recognize a familiar face in here... Some of you might even recognize two. If you recognize three to six, you get a cookie. :D

Since it's my first Christmas in my own apartment (and because I was too much of a cheapskate to buy an actual Christmas tree), I made my own tree from a Styrofoam cone, craft paint, a bottle cap, and old magazines (I guess it's a little bit of upcycling). It cost me less than $5 to make, and it fits within my teeny apartment. XD

I should be working on a presentation for Monday, but instead PONIES.

I did an update for my Spike & William "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" illustration as an age progression...

And because I can't resist the baby pony design, I did one of Anne and Baby William...

I'm the first to admit that I'm a huge sci-fi nerd... but I don't like "space stuff." While I like the original Star Trek and Star Wars, I'm much more interested in shows like Caprica that are about other planets but are more-or-less grounded in one spot. During this first half of the semester, I found a "space"-related show that I liked! I got hooked on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. In fact, I got so obsessed with it that I created my own starship and crew.

And, of course, one of my characters looks like James Marsters. XD

My brain will not let me be, so I had to do this... William and Spike, MLP: FiM style. XD I sorta want to do a bunch of these. It's really fun to do vector artwork again.

I hope this posts because LJ has been really wonky for me for days...

A very belated but happily Art Nouveau-esque birthday gift for whichclothes!

Title: Wedding Bell Blues.
Artist: fenderlove
Rating/Warnings: G/Worksafe. I guess a warning for Spike in a corset, if that's not your sort of thing. XD
Notes: For blondebitz's request at the nekid_spike fic/art exchange- "I want: Artwork Digital painting. Either a cute Spike/Angel or Spike alone wearing his duster." I chose to do a little illustration of Spike and Angel getting married (yes, I know Angel's ring is on the wrong hand, but I liked the juxtaposition, and I figure that the boys would as well ^_~). Also, I think I could add this one to the "Reasons Why Fender Should Not be Allowed to Design Clothes" collection. :D

Title: All Dolled Up.
Artist: fenderlove
Rating/Warnings: Totally NOT WORKSAFE. This illustration contains Spike wearing a corset and other naughty things (I'm not going to say that he's "in drag" 'cause he's not trying to be a lady; he's just trying to be the sexiest sexy Spike he can sexily be), abuse of stuffed animals, and so much cute that I think I broke my squee. There's no nudity, but Spike in silk underthings leaves nothing to the imagination, and you wouldn't want your boss catching you looking at it... or maybe you would? Pervert. :D
Notes: Looks like Angel tried to make it up to Spike for forgetting Valentine's Day by bringing him a lot of presents. I think Spike's gonna make him work very hard for forgiveness.

Special thank to lilithbint for suggesting the kinky boots! :D

Title: A Frilly Valentine.
Artist: fenderlove
Rating: Completely worksafe.
Notes: Just a little cartoon Valentine for Fred and Spike, my favourite couple-that-almost-was. They seem to be having a bit of a frolic while patrolling.
