Second x-post
Long time no see! At least it feels like it.
I've been more productive these past few days than I've been in ages! I've even entered a couple of icontests over at samcro_stills and merlin_stills. Even won me some banners!

Anywhooo....

Icons!

Teasers:



( Motorcycles and Magic! )

...is not much, I know. But I want to keep up the posting pace I've gotten into - and this is all I have to offer at the moment.

No teasers - cus' there's not much to tease about!

( Ya'll have to click the cut to see them. )

I've been sporadically adding to my "unposted" folder for the last couple of months. There isn't much, but I feel I should post what I've got anyway.

Behind the cut there's a couple of icons from SPN, Dark Angel and even one QaF(!). Some of them have been seen around already, but I haven't posted them here yet. There's also one SPN wallpaper and one James Masters one!

'nuff with the rambling and on with the teasers:



( Cut for icons and walls )

Summary: It's 1958. Jared is the high school superstar: all-around athlete, straight-A student, and one half of the most popular couple in town. Jensen is the teen rebel, all motorcycles, hot rods, and rock ‘n’ roll. When Jared’s life veers closer to the edge, he finds Jensen waiting for him there. The collision is inevitable.

Fic Masterpost

On Monday I got contacted by wendy over at spn_j2_bigbang @LJ, who asked me if I was interested in doing another pinch hit for a fic that had already been posted, but who's artist had to back down. I had the day off the next day, so I of course said 'Yes'!

So this is my THIRD Big Bang thingy! Not too bad for somebody that's been out of the loop for a while, huh? :P

Here goes.

( Not as much as I wanted to make - and not nearly as much as the story DESERVES! )

I've been away from fandom in general for a while now so when I signed up for spn_j2_bigbang over at LJ I got a bit nervous!

Now both fics I've done graphics for are posted and here's a "Masterpost" with all the graphics - along with links to the fics - I made. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out in the end concindering I've been away from graphics work for a while now.

Fic 1:

Title: As Everything We Know Fades to Black
Author:engel82
Artist:zaipixie
Betas:anangelsdeath15 and lizard971
Genre: RPF
Pairing: Jensen/Chris, Steve/Sandy, Jensen/Jared , mentions of Chad/Jared,
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 27 530
Summary: I shut the world away from here, drift to you, you are all I hear, As everything we know fades to black. – Gavin Rossdale
Meet Jensen Ackles; 22, disowned by his family when he fell in love with Christian Kane, and Jared Padalecki; 19, not so invincible freshman, busy partying with his high school boyfriend Chad. Their worlds violently crash together the night that Jensen and Chris are rushed to the hospital forcing Jared to reconsider if fighting for his own life against Leukemia again is worth the pain his family go through when they stand by him.
Warning: Minor character death, angst

Fic Masterpost

The subject for this fic actually falls close to my heart and it made working on this so much sweeter.

Fic 2:

Title: I Can Fly (but I want his wings)
Author:mystik_ivanow
Artist:zaipixie
Beta:doctor_dorothy

Rating: NC-17
Word count: 25.934
Summary: After a tragic death a couple years ago, the life of nineteen year-old Jared can be described in one word: numb. But one day, he meets a man that can change his life for good. A man that is literally different from anyone he ever met and that will turn not only his present, but his past upside down. Aliens are real after all.

Warning: Sci-fi, deathfic, only not any J death

Fic Masterpost

I Can Fly is sort of the love child between two of my fandom loves: J2 and Doctor Who! It has all the stuff you'd expect: adventure, sweet sweet love, quirky-ness and a hell of a ride!

In the wake of the passing of Kim Manners, I'm now posting these.

Teasers:



R.I.P. Mr Manners. You'll be missed.

( Paying homage in my own way - seventeen more behind the cut )

Long time, no posts...

This contains:

- Queer as Folk(US)
- Supernatural
..and also a La Femme Nikita and a Gale Harold

Teasers:


Some of these are made by request. If there's one that was off-limits by the requestee and I have posted it by mistake, please tell me so and I'll remove it.

I have been participating in Round 2 over at firefly_rumble @LJ. Again, I did very well and am pleased as punch!



( icons and separate challenge banners... )

This round has been long time coming. Both me and Alex love this show, and it's because of it that we actually met! So we owe it a lot.

Queer as Folk (US)

Since it's the last round, we opted to do something different. We each provided one image and one "extra".

I brought this to the table: Image from the defunct ibedesign collection, re uploaded by marilla_pm67, and the extra is the lyrics from "Wonderful Life" by Black - "look at me standing / here on my own again / up straight in the sunshine "

Alex offered up: Image and a texture by abernathi@LJ.

And this is what we came up with:

Mine:


1024x768 |1280x800 | 1280X1024 |1440x900

( And Alex made this beauty! )

Thanks for playing with us!

I've actually been meaning to do this for a while now, and a couple of days ago my muse went into overdrive. It did help that I found some really pretty textures to use by innocent_lexys and tiger_tyger!

Under the cut is twenty stock icons with the theme "Sweden".

Teasers:


( Du gamla, du fria, du fjällhöga nord.... )

Stay tuned for the last round in mine and ohfreckle wallpaperbattle. Wonder what show we're doing this week.... hmmm..... ;)

Quick recap. Each week one of us will provide two caps from one of the tv-shows we both adore. The other will provide something "extra" (a texture, another cap, some text) that has to be used as well. And then we go to our respective corners and play with Photoshop to our widdle hearts content.

Back to the brilliance that is Joss Whedon: Dr. Horrible!

Getting hold of hi res images for Dr. Horrible has proven to be very very difficult, so this round we've be battling with an extra difficulty - trying to get ordinary low res screencaps to look ok in a larger graphics!

I capped and provided the images: Image One and Image Two

Alex was in charge of the "extra". This week it's anther texture. It's one of her own.

All three things must be used in the wallpaper.

And this is what we came up with:

Mine:


1024x768 |1280x800 | 1280X1024 |1440x900

My muses are getting up to speed! I guess I really needed some new shows to get excited about. I still love QaF, but I really needed a change of pace since I've made well over a thousand QaF icons already.

This post is my first ALL Supernatural icon post! Joy joy! :D

Mostly from ep 406, so beware of spoilers if you haven't seen it.

I haven't had the urge to make icons in ages. Until today! My muse decided to crawl out from her hiding place under the couch to play with me, and I actually dropped everything else to do just that. Fifteen icons came out of it, and I had so much fun!

But... yeah. This is for the Justin-theme over at qaf_icons.
