Getting some stuff sketched and ready to be woodburned for Geek.Kon. I plan on having all of the AoT emblems on shields and as many tarot cards as I can :)
[Story snippet] Double Hue
Check it out, guys! I’m working on a new story before “Treat Me Kindly” gets published! Some may say I’m crazy, but… well I am crazy, but this was actually done some time ago and I’m just editing/snazzing it up before sending it to publishers.
This is a gay romance story that suddenly turned novel length (oops?) It’s kinda got a crime thriller vibe, with some supernatural elements mixed in and a touch bit of horror? There’s a brief description below followed by a snippet of the two main boys in the story and how they interact with one another :)
Warnings: Geekery, cute boys doing cute boy things, me trying to tempt you with my writing more
Brief synopsis: When something tragic happens in your life you want nothing more than to close your eyes, go to sleep, and make all of the pain go away. For Gable Peterson it’s a little more complicated than that. When detective Maurice Ashford shows up at his door with news that his boyfriend, Avery Blair, has been found dead, Gable is left devastated. Gable does the same thing he did when his grandfather died back when he was a little boy; he closes his eyes and imagines a world where his loved one is still alive.
Only, when Gable wakes up, he’s surprised to see that Avery is actually still alive!
Gable discovers something very peculiar about himself. There’s a place inside of his head where another Gable Peterson exists. This other Gable tells him that he has the power to go back and keep Avery from dying. Of course, Gable doesn’t believe anything that he’s hearing.
Until Avery dies for the second time.
Shortly after, Gable finds himself back at day one. Now he’s more determined than ever to save his boyfriend.
But is it worth the hardship he’s about to face?
This isn’t just some accident that happens to Avery. Gable’s boyfriend is murdered in cold blood by someone who the media has called “The Horrific Homophobe” or “The Double H Murderer.” This killer roams the streets of Minneapolis, kidnapping gay men who turn up dead in a week’s time. They’re not just brutally killed, there are derogatory words written all over their bodies in a terrifying display of the hell they had suffered through during the week. Oddly enough, along with words like FAGGOT and QUEER and HOMO are compliments of nice eyes or beautiful smile and other charming words that have no business being anywhere near such hatred. Gable suddenly finds himself tracking down a killer, but can he save Avery in time?
*gasp* A new story has emerged! Dun dun dunnnnn!
So I don’t know all the intricacies of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (have only seen a few episodes) but I got a commission for a Pinkamena clock. The first time I heard about this version of Pinkie Pie was at Anime Detour last year, when someone commissioned me for a coaster or a wooden button (I don’t remember which) and just called it “The Pinkie Pie with straight hair.”
This newest commission, the request was to make it look, well…. disturbing, lol.
It’s not finished, but I wanted to post a progress pic. I still have to do the eyes, obviously, but I had this moment where I woke up this morning, went to my computer, and saw this like, “Oh shit… I actually drew something like this?! Wow…”
O.K. Phew. Here we go.
The giant arcana coaster project that I never intended to be a project, lol! The first two rows are the finished ones that are woodburned and ready to go. The next two rows are the ones I have sketched so that I can woodburn them.
From what I can gather (including Golden and P3 and such) there are… 25 cards? (please correct me if I’m wrong) I know Golden has 2 for Adachi, 1 for Marie, that adds to the standard social links. And P3 has “the World” or “the Universe” and whatnot.
So at the moment there are 7 complete, 8 sketched, which leaves 10 more to go. I do plan on selling these individually, mostly because I don’t think anyone would buy a full set, BUT I DO want to have ALL of them available before I start posting them on the store/taking it to conventions.
From a Persona 4 standpoint (since that’s my current SMT obsession though EVERYONE knows that) so far the major characters are done/in-progress (Souji/Yu, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, Teddie, Naoto, Dojima, Nanako, Adachi – times 2, Margaret, Marie, and the entire Investigation Team – judgment, or “Seekers of Truth,” if you will). I’m not sure how long this is going to take, but our first convention is Anime Detour and I’d like to have them there?
Fun fact: So far the ones that have been the most troublesome are Chie, Naoto, and Adachi (Hunger/Lust), but mainly Chie and Naoto, because of the crazy details.
Oh! Check out these links, yo ^^
So what does everyone think so far?
An in progress wineglass. This time, it’s Fate/Zero the series just ended so my muses want to make things The different seals are just beginning to be put on things, so I thought I would try them on wineglasses. Waver is first cuz I love him so much and I’m debating between writing “Zero” on the glass itself for Fate/Zero, or writing something like, “You are my King,” because of… certain things that hit me in the feels :(
When the glass is done it’ll be put up for sale on my Etsy page here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop or be at Anime Iowa in a month :) As always, I do take commissions, feel free to drop me a note here or check out the site link.
Progress picture of an upcoming clock that should be finished soon. Operation, “Make a lot of stuff for Anime Iowa,” is officially underway :) So this is what the painted face of one of my clocks looks like before I put it inside the clock.
The idea is to paint the edge of the clock like the collar to the school uniform, yeah, that gray part with the little black parts that, I swear, look like Space Invaders ^^;;;
