I did some digital art for the story Three Body Problem by zoemathemata on AO3

Here are the two thumbnails.





here's the Link to my artwork on AO3

The second piece was the one I was attempting to work on during the blackout. It's a strange experience to work in the dark and have to stop every so often to charge the laptop and to use the flashlight to see the keys for some things. I usually touch-type, but for 'alt' and 'ctrl' I need to look - because the layout of those changes by the keyboard. Luckily the power was on Friday and I had time to finish the illo.

xanthelj Thank you for a very intense and enjoyable story that kept me up till 2am for a week! As soon as I read it, I wanted to do art with wolves!!

I'm so sad to hear about the broken foot and hope you get well soonest!

The reveals are up at sgaartvalentine and h5oartvalentine. I did one piece of art for each.

For sgaartvalentine

This was the piece I had the most trouble with - and needed the most handholding from the ever helpful beta bluespirit_star. I started off with a different pic in the lower, which wasn't as happy, and kept trying for some song lyrics. Which kept not working. Finally I put a chessboard and their names there as a last minute 'oh my god, I just got to finish this.' I was very relieved that people liked it. Whew!



Having Fun for mific

For h5oartvalentine

I was very nervous about doing a secret exchange for this fandom. New fandom, haven't really done art yet for it ... but I REALLY wanted a shirtless Steve wallpaper (which I got!), so I'm glad I did. And wouldn't you know it - this piece I finished first, did in a few days and like the most.



Hawaiian Sun for anuminis

sheafrotherdon is doing The H50 Car Fic Festival

I did a quickie Hawaii 5-O piece of "car" art Here!

I’m here! Honest. Just uhm.. being easily distracted by all the choices to read at the moment.

Ohh! Cookies from neevebrody and friendshipper! And hot chocolate to go with them from amdir_jas Thank you all!

I got my Holiday cards out monday... not as early as I wanted. I had a stack of overseas.. and the local post guy kind of laughed at me when I asked how long overseas was taking. *sigh* Seems I misjudged the timing there. I didn't realize you had to mail them the 1st of December? I think of doing cards after Thanksgiving – but for some reason I think that's too early to mail them, so I wait, then when it seems time, it's too late. So, all my overseas pals.... You will receive 'Happy New Year' cards!

I've been slow also with Christmas shopping. Keeping going to the mall and wandering around aimlessly not seeing anything that really 'speaks' to me for anyone on my list. There's a reason I'm usually shopping on the 24th!

I participated in one holiday exchange - sga_art_santa . Lots of wonderful art has started to post. Go take a look! And one of them is by me – and one for me too! Whee! I want to thank bluespirit_star for being my wonderful art beta and helping me to refine the art to something that came out much better than I was originally imagining with just some little adjustments.

And the one for me has posted! Shore Leave A beautiful romantic piece that I immediately put as my wallpaper! Thank you santa! (and I've been looking at it trying to figure out how it was done! I love all the stuff I learn)

And not only art, but so much good stuff to read at sga_santa, undermistletoe, and ts_secret_santa. Oh my! And just a little while ago I was bemoaning the lack of stuff to read. No more! Now there is so many I want to hide and read all day! (which really cuts into the shopping and things like, you know, work!). I'm behind in reading and commenting on all of them. I hope to catch up one day.

ETA: Oh - and bluespirit_star is doing a daily advent of goodies art and stories too! She's so ambitious!
