If I can think of some way to make this an official multi-fandom challenge somewhere, I'd like to. But I'm not sure how one gets something like that started.

Do you think people would be interested in a community for it? I know there's lots of prompts lists out there, but a lot of people must have done the big ones by now and might be looking for new prompts...

If you like both Howl's Moving Castle and Avatar:TLAB, you'll get a kick out of this fanart.

Recently in Avatar fandom I've been writing a lot of fic and have twice now experimented with writing fic for fanart pieces. I've also been lucky enough to have two of my drabbles inspire some fan comics.


Cooperative Fanfic & Fanart

My fic "Got Your Back" was inspired by a K/Z fanart piece by sylvacoer:

irrel did two wonderful fan comics for my drabble parody fic "Culture Clash":

Chapter 1: Culture Clash - http://www.deviantart.com/view/30681022/
Chapter 8: Too Much Information - http://www.deviantart.com/view/30681076/


Recently irrel made a beautiful Z/K fanart which inspired me to write my fic "Rain":
http://www.deviantart.com/view/33679594/


Then jakia wrote a companion piece to "Rain," a prequel called "Tea Leaves".


Which was then followed up by retad's companion fic "Meeting".

- The four main characters from kids to adulthood.
-Just when I can't decide if I love Katara's skull-and-cross-bones come hither stare or Zuko's 50s beatnik cap more, I notice Sokka's wearing goggles and Aang looks evil. Mucho grande love
-Iroh wins, always.
-Zuko now emotes in coloring-book form!
-Clever, Aang. And Katara's expression is adorable
- Kyoshi was a special kind of fabulous.
-Just a pretty Z/K sketch.
- Sokka wonders why these things always happen to him. And this too.
-When it comes to klar's fanart, I can't decide if I like this Zuko picture or this Katara picture more.
- I'd tap date that. You know, if it were legal and the thought didn't sound a little squicky.
-The Last Airbender Earthbender.
-I love the coloring, but Zuko's kinda creeping me out.
- Zuko's not a Village People fan.
- Zuko/Katara, pretty in green.
-Iroh firebends like whoa.
-Zuko & Song, in a very cool style.
-Oma & Shu-- isaia's art is just gorgeous. [aviaq]
- Zuko vs. Smokey the Bear.
- Aang & Appa, nicely done.
- SPY vs. SPY!
-I'd like to be that good at sketching hands.
-Jet... not a fan of irony.
-Group fight, interesting style.

akavertigo is love.

That's so pretty. Thank you. I want to write more fic just looking at it!

This Naruto/Avatar:TheLastAirbender crossover fan-comic amuses me greatly. Because Aang and Naruto would so get along, it's true. And the Zuko/Sasuke comparison is amusing too, even though it's only marginally accurate, because although they've both had crappy childhoods, Zuko's actually a pretty decent kid under all his angst and he hasn't really done anything that bad, and has done a few very good things, whereas Sasuke's done one good thing and is otherwise a complete and total shithead who isn't worth even a drop of the loyalty that Sakura and Naruto give him. If the two characters were to ever meet, Zuko would probably despise Sasuke for being a miniature Zhao.

The fan-comic, though, is awfully cute.

Someone on my flist (edit: herongale) uploaded an episode of "The Joy of Painting, with Bob Ross" a few days ago, and I nabbed it wondering Is this the show with that guy with the fuzzy hair who made painting look so easy?

It is!

I'm watching it now, and OMGIT'SLIKEHYPNOTISM.ICAN'TLOOKAWAY.

Oh look he's adding a tree!

And look at what he's doing with the pond reflection!

The foliage! How does he do that? I mean, I know how he did it because I just watched him do it, but HOW DOES HE DO THAT?

Now I want to get out my art supplies and try all his neat little tips. And I have an urgent desire to go buy some brushes. None of my brushes are as wide as his! How can I paint without that really wide round brush? I AM NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT IT!


Television is evil.

I firmly believe that Kishimoto draws Kakashi with a mouth to get the character looking right, then just erases it at the last minute.

Because although quite tedius, in the end this wasn't as hard as I expected.


( For those curious, here is the full image )

For this kind of editing (and what I did with the Elysia/Envy/Edward icon from earlier this last week), with a lot of cutting & pasting, I've realized it's always better to do all your base image editing when the picture is still large, before you shrink it to 100x100. You'd be amazed how flaws just disappear when you shrink the pictures, and how hard edges become nicely softened, and how it just looks better.


ETA: ...I just realized I have only ONE out of 39 icons loaded on LJ that's solely picturing a female character.

That's weird. I should fix that. I need some gender equality in my iconning...

riddering turned me onto this. She is so evil.

And I'm so gonna waste time playing here.

And make more stupid paintings like this one:

And sending this BTVS one out to 5 random people on my flist who have emails posted in their info pages:

...I really need to do some thing productive.
