Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand

This was my art submission for the Dark Angel Reverse Bang. Well, the first. I submitted a wall as well (that will be posted later) but this is just my post for the mix.

You can read the fic over at violettestars's journal! :)


( FALLING MIX )

I was super excited to do art for this fic! The title grabbed me instantly (being an Aussie, it would :P) and then the fandom just sealed it! I loved the premise, and the snippets were fantastic. Also, the whole idea of wipbigbang is to encourage people to finish anything that may be lost in the shuffle. I am most definitely in that category occasionally - actually, I also signed up as an author this round :P But I'd been missing Sanctuary so I couldn't resist :D

You can read the fic over at AO3! Do it! :)

My first of three het_bigbang fics that I chose to do art for and this was for alyse's The Lies You Live. There is not enough love for this fandom and certainly not enough for this pairing! I would have done the art for this based on the author alone, but when you combine an amazing author with such a fantastic fic? No contest! You should have seen how frantic I was to get this fic during claims. I stayed up 'til the early hours and accidentally fell asleep - there may or may not have been a minor panic attack when I woke up ten minutes after claims opened :P Luckily, the other artists were distracted by the sheer amount of awesome fics that I snagged this before most of them could!

Summary: Abigail Whistler has always known her role in life - her mother may have raised her, but she's her father's daughter through and through. Vampire slaying is in her blood and in her bones, but when her path crosses that of a smart-mouthed vampire who seems perfectly happy to die, she's left questioning everything she thought she knew.

While her team work to cure Hannibal King of his vampirism with an experimental antivirus, she finds herself warming to their captive in spite of her reservations. And when their actions turn out to have devastating consequences, Abby's loyalties are left torn.

As events spiral out of control, and with no idea whom to trust, Abby needs to learn to trust her own instincts if she wants to survive.

My third of three het_bigbang fics that I chose to do art for and this was for shirleyann66's Now and Then. I have to say that I hadn't really thought about Beck and Heather together, not because I didn't like them together, but mostly because I was I focused mostly on Jake and who he should end up with. But I have to admit that while watching it, I did like the chemistry between Beck and Heather and was so heartbroken that she had to betray his trust like she did. So, long story short :P as soon as I saw this pairing I just had to do the art for it!

Summary: The USA was changed forever when nuclear bombs destroyed 23 cities. Two years on, the country has survived a second civil war and the last remnants of government authority have been relocated to a small town in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas - a town called Jericho. Major Edward Beck arrived in Jericho as an opponent and is now its staunchest defender. But he also carries a personal burden: his wife and daughter have been missing since the bombs went off. Over time, he’s grown close to the people of Jericho, especially to Heather, the woman he’d hired as his liaison. She’s now his closest friend and ally, and perhaps – in time – something more. Until his wife is found…

I signed up to do art at harryhetbigbang because there are a fair few of you on my f'list that love Harry Potter. As you know, I don't particularly care about the fandom one way or the other but I do love doing art for you guys and I love reading good fics :) I got my first choice, which was mihnn's A Final Goodbye. I loved the fic and absolutely loved doing the art for it! All of the HP lovers on my f'list should definitely check it out!

My slight addiction to BBs may have drawn me over to paperlegends for their claims. I'd only recently discovered paperlegends but there was a HUGE range of fics to choose to do art for! If you haven't already, go check it out! Anyway, RL got in the way for my author and they had to drop out but luckily for me, so did another artist so I was THRILLED to work with darkmagic_luvr's AMAZING fic, Sins of the Father. I love ArMor and this fic was just brilliantly set after 2x08 - Sins of the Father. You can probably tell by the art that I was heavily influenced by my favourite scene in the fic :P I won't tell you what happens but once you read it, you'll get it.

Summary: There are some sins that cannot be forgiven; these sins of the father.

The third fantasybigbang fic that I chose was for a mix for merigreenleaf's wonderful fic, Hidden Magic. It was funny and sweet and something I'd definitely love to read a sequel to! You should also check out the gorgeous art that jack_spire did to accompany this fic.

Summary: Meren, an unusual elf girl (and her more unusual centaur "brother") take up the task of hunting down a band of orc trespassers. When she stumbles into a pitfall, Meren finds an object: an amulet that gives strange new powers. Little does she know that an increasingly desperate young wizard is looking for the very same amulet, and that their paths are destined to crisscross in a weave of chaotic magic...

Another scifibigbang BB fic that I chose to do art for! realstone1903 wrote a fic called A Love Story Born Among The Stars and I loved the idea of it!! I was lucky enough to get to do the art for it and had a real challenge with it! I didn't want to give away too much of the fic but I wanted to draw you in. This is how I went :D

My first of three fantasybigbang fics that I chose to do art for and this was for tehexile's AMAZING fic, The Adventures of Scribe. Fantastic fic, very tongue-in-cheek. Definitely check it out! I also must apologise for the art - I decided to try my hand at actually drawing the art so that it was more like what tehexile had in mind but I haven't drawn in over ten years so my skills are somewhat... lacking. Not even sure if they were there to begin with. ANYWAY, I did up a few pages and then chucked a hissy fit in frustration but my hubby insisted I post anyway because he liked them so this is what I ended up with!

Summary: An unlucky apprentice to the Grand Library of Brokenshire is sent on an errand to retrieve an overdue library book from a dragon. On the way there, a mysterious object falls from the sky and almost hits him on the head. Just when he thinks things can't get any worse, the object turns out to be a piece of the machinery holding the world together, which is broken. He is sent to the Celestial Plane to return the piece to the Celestial Bureaucracy and make a complaint. When the overzealous Infernal Bureaucracy learn what is going on and decide that the world is beyond repair, it becomes a race against time to repair the world before it is removed from existence altogether.

Okay, for crossbigbang I chose to do art for boombangbing's FANTASTIC fic, A How To Guide About Love & Marriage (For People Who Hate Both). It's a The Big Bang Theory/Wizards of Waverly Place crossover and I was really intrigued about how that would work out. I haven't done a whole lot of TBBT work and I was excited about this fic! Make sure you go over and have a read of the fic!
