I don't know what happened, but yesterday, for the first time in ages I felt the sudden urge to write a new part to Art of Darkness - you know, my infamous WIP. It's some 1500 words, and it is, alas, not the beginning but a scene I hadn't really planned. I like it so far.

I suppose that this means I should just learn to live with my chaotic writing process… My muse is wily (which is irritating), but at least she does show her face now and then :-).

I also submitted Luna Number One to SH for the Deathday Festival. A fragment is behind the cut, as a small preview.




The version I submitted is in colour. I really couldn't decide which was best, the colour or the b/w, so I followed the advice of friends – hopefully I made the right choice :-).
I especially like how Luna's face came out. I deliberately made it slightly asymmetrical, which, I feel, enhances the ‘dottiness’ of her appearance.

So cute!!! She looks utterly spacey. :) Yeah, I think the subtle asymmetry works quite well for this drawing.

Thank you! :-)
I thought she might be a little too pretty, but I hope the dottiness dispells some of that.

Love her expression and how you chose to color just the eyes. And you did something interesting to the mouth. I can't describe it, but it works. And she has the Sigune signature eyebrow tuft!

I'm glad to hear that your muse has paid you a visit. :-)

Well, it was about time too! But she is impossible to drill, it seems... I'll tell her to hang out with yours a bit more :-).

I'm glad you like Luna's mouth! (I'm rather fond of it myself, but it doesn't happen often that viewers share my specific fondnesses, if that's a word at all.)

Wonderful expression! Very Luna ;) I love the eyes.

Good luck with the festival!

Do you mean she passed aramintasnape's Luna Test?! (*jumps up and down*)

Thanks ;)!

[aramintasnape.livejournal.com]

She certainly did ;))

Cute, cute, cute!


Sigune, won't you consider posting one of your awesome Snape drawings on Romancing the Wizard?

[sigune.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure, if you like! (*is flattered*) I was just under the impression that you were looking for 'shipping pictures only, and I have only two of those (not counting my Severus/Brynhild fluffy sketches). I don't really do any except when I'm asked to. Or do you take individual portraits as well? If you have specific preferences, by all means let me know.

[seaislewitch.livejournal.com]

Shipping pictures are good! And Wizard alone pictures work too! SQUEE!

I love this preview! Her eyes have the wonderful spaced property to them and her asymetrical face really does add to the air of her. I can't wait to see the coloured and complete version. :D

[sigune.livejournal.com]

Glad you like it! I've posted the complete b/w drawing here (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25262069/) in the meantime, if you're interested :-).

I'm not quite sure about the success of my colours, so this may very well be the best version...

[aerynstales.livejournal.com]

*roars with laughter* Okay, I officially love this picture! The macaroni necklace and upsidedown Quibbler are priceless!

Hmmm...I'd have to see the colour one to comment which I like better. I love doing black and whites as of late...but always feel odd when there is a white background and the person has light coloured hair. The white on white blends too much.

I like the simplictity of your Luna with only the eyes coloured. It adds to it alot.

I love this Luna picture! She has this daffy yet very serious expression on her face. I can totally see her talking about the Rotfang conspiracy.

Oh!! Beautiful!! Sincerely, I love it( I saw your works on DA: Your artwork is awesome!!). Very great job ^__^ ! Congrats.

I forgot but I added you in my LJ friendlist ^.^;
