DUST AND WATER - BB ART

My second of three [livejournal.com profile] fantasybigbang fics that I chose to do art for and this was for [livejournal.com profile] quantumlobster's brilliant fic, Dust And Water. It was nothing like I thought it would be! I absolutely loved it but my only warning is that you need to make sure you have your tissues with you when you read it! [livejournal.com profile] pekori did the mix for this fic so make sure you have a look!

Summary: Aren, a young officer in the army of the Tyrunian Empire, is brought on trumped-up charges to an internment camp established by his own army to contain political prisoners, built in the middle of the enkava, the poisonous dead zone around the destroyed city of Dracia. He reluctantly joins the other captives in eking out a marginal existence, though there seems to be a hidden purpose to their actions that he cannot discern. Upon fleeing the camp after the other inmates were killed by Tyrunian soldiers in response to shifting political winds in the Empire, Aren finds himself the unwilling custodian of the secrets that they had risked their lives to preserve.

I echo what QL said about the rocks appearing as the building of Dracia! That was precisely what I'd thought, too.

I think I'm most partial to the second banner and icon ten -- there is just something about that particular rock-shape and the lighting behind it that strikes me.

Fantastic work with all of these! I love how everything came together as if we were all of one brain. :3

Thanks mate! I have to admit, that was the first time I've ever worked on a BB team that has been so in sync so I'm totally excited!!! The mix was perfect and everything together is just perfection! If this were a contest, we'd totally win!!! :D

You both realize that you've spoiled me for future BB's with your awesomeness! We ought to keep in touch and do a reprise at some point in the future.

And yeah, we'd totally win if this were a contest!

That would be so cool! And plus, I'm in about a zillion BBs so chances are you guys will pop up again :D Mostly art but I've got a couple of written pieces due soon and I just signed up at [livejournal.com profile] bigbang_mixup as a mixer, author AND artist so my feelers are out. Though if you ever wanna do something off the BB list, I'm DEFINITELY there! :P

Oh my goodness, [livejournal.com profile] bigbang_mixup looks like so much fun.... What a challenge to write a story off of a playlist!

Yeah, I have no idea what I'm going to write! But I'm really excited to see the mixes!!! :D Besides, it's really awesome to get a mix and use that - the bunnies will be EVERYWHERE!!! :P
