Hahaha, reveals have been up for a while, haven't they... I have yet to update both masterlist (and take off the sign on my lj's main page, it doesn't make much sense anymore), but I thought that I'd better link to my submission first. ;P And answer your comments, too! A collective OMGWTFBBQTHANKYOU is so very much in order, before I get back to all of you. I just. ♥♥♥♥♥



Title: The Last Answer
Characters: Sirius. Then Remus. Then Sirius again. And so on...
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: men kissing, but nothing else.
Summary: About mending, taking risks, and second chances.
Notes: This is dedicated to all of my friends — for being there when I whine, for making me laugh when I need it (because, let's be honest, you always do need it), for laughing at my own (often fairly lame) jokes, for the shameless squeefacing, for the silly chatter, the deep discussions, the patience, the love. Thank you. So, so much. ♥










And thus we get to the fourth and last (so far) part of the mini arc I've done for the Games! I had actually signed up for two submissions for the second round as well (yep. I hate myself. Well known fact), but after talking to [livejournal.com profile] brighty18 I cut back to one - and boy am I glad that I did. I don't know, when you go down to it I did roughly half the panels I put out for the first round, but I had to work twice as hard to get anywhere. And the end result was something I did not like and was not proud of - though boy do I feel bad for saying so, especially after the reactions I got. :( Still... oh, I dunno. My best guess is that I was still tired from round 1. (Or that drawing the boys' older versions was hard, difficult, a pain, basically something I'm very simply PANTS at. ;P)

*scratches head* Well, as for the strip itself it's not like there's much to say, really, it's all on there... (In my mind) Sirius has just asked Remus to get back together, sometime after Azkaban, and he's waiting for him to say or do something. Maybe it's right after GoF - at first I'd thought of the OotP-era but, er, I think I might have gotten a little carried away with the length. :P If I remember well and Sirius got a haircut a year or two before, I'm not sure it would have got this long already by then... and oh boy, one thing TLA brought home is how much I do. Not. Like. Long. Hair. On. Men. I can't help it, I just don't. ;) The more I worked on it, the more it alternatively (a) put me in mind of Sadako/Samara from The Ring (couldn't help myself), or (b) made me feel like what Sirius's expression was really saying was something along the lines of "why do you hate me so much". :P It's canon and all so I had to, but next time he might find himself with his hair buzzed off. ;)

Or with an afro.

I could do the afro...

Ah! L'Ultima Risposta (i.e., the last answer) is a Subsonica song. It has also absolutely NOTHING to do with the strip. I just stole the title - though other options were "Breathe" and/or "Free". Free is kind of lame, but maybe I should have gone with Breathe. Oh well...

That's it for my own work - but it won't be the last time I'll be talking about the games. ;) So, stay tuned! ♥

You and I had a lovely discussion about "The Last Answer," but I wanted to state again how wonderful it was. And, even if unintional, what a perfect foil to "Gorecki."

Thanks for all you did!

You really outdid yourself for the games. And I still appreciate that even if you are a traitor on the wrong team. However, all of these pieces were gorgeous. This last one was breath taking and heart clenching. No one does laughter like you, no one. In fact, the emotions in all of your expressions are palpable, just really amazing.

I DARE you to draw afro!Sirius. I daaaaaare you. That said, I feel you on the long hair thing, even though you draw it beautifully. Most of the time i like shorter, shaggier hair on guys... Even if I liked longer hair when I was younger. (I was crazy back then. Crazy!)

<333333333

Oh, okay then. *g* (Haha, beautifully? Sirius TOTALLY looked like Samara, admit it. ;P ) Mmmh... I've always preferred short hair.

...maybe because long hair always makes me think of the butchy, biker types (http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2004/09/11/nyregion/11bikers.large1.jpg)? XD;

Hahahaha, and butchy-biker types always make me think of my DAD because he has a long beard, and his hair used to be long too. He really used to look like a biker! XD

...But instead, long hair always made me think of like... heroes and knights from fantasy novels. Not sure why! And I used to have a crush on that type, but it's faded over the years to be replaced by crushes on old dirty cowboys and pudgy, angry chefs. XD <333

Hahaha! Omg, your dad XD (or the heavy metal types too! They don't... look too appealing either. XD)

Oh! Oh right, there's them too :o I totally forgot about those. ;) But hahaha, I guess as we grow older we tend to like 'em rougher? ;D <33333333

on 2008-09-13 01:33 pm (UTC)
Posted by [identity profile] jou.livejournal.com
heh, absolutely!! Rough around the edges is the way to beeee. Ahaha, and talking about chefs reminds me: I was reading bits and pieces of one of PZB's older horror novels that I used to like, and all I could think was, "wtf... the guys in this are too pretty... I don't like it..."

...And of course, one of them had long hair. ;)

*squints* You meaaaaan Drawing Blood? That the one? (It's kind of a shot in the dark - I've read a grand total of TWO of Poppy's horror novels. That, and Lost Souls. ;D )

on 2008-09-14 01:23 pm (UTC)
Posted by [identity profile] jou.livejournal.com
Yep! You guessed right, it's Drawing Blood. :D Kat's reading it now, actually. I'm working her up to reading Liquor. :D

...Also, haha, it was funny, when I was packing up my books to move, I counted how many PZB or PZB-related novels I own. It was 17. *boggle* And I remember that I SOLD two of them in the past, so if I still had those two it would have been 19!! O_O;

...yikes! XD

Not only do the guys look positively edible, you absolutely NAILED their facial expressions in each frame. I could literally *feel* their emotions - happiness, heart-breaking sadness, hope - simply by looking into their eyes. That is no mean feat. Kudos to you!

Sei... sei pazzesca. Io non ho mai parole quando vedo i tuoi lavori. Giuro che dopo l'ultimo sono a un passo dalla commozione pura. La varietà delle espressioni che disegni, i dettagli più minuti, il chiaroscuro... ogni cosa è assolutamente perfetta. Amo i tuoi Remus e Sirius in maniera spropositata. Tu devi disegnare per mestiere, ripeto.

Perdonami le mie apparizioni sempre molto random, ma ti seguo sempre sempre :)
