Better late than never, here is my final inktober repost! I'll be putting most of the illustrations I made this year for sale on Facebook tomorrow. I'm happy that some of them have already been reserved, having actual people wanting to buy stuff I made feels hugely rewarding. :)



( Days 16 - 31Collapse )

Also in other news, baby could come any day now, but I hope he stays warm a little bit longer and lets me go through some more of my to do list. :D

My double participation in the beautiful Ravage Anthology is now online! <3

Summary:

On a dark red-brown background two naked men are entwined, fighting with each other, tremendous and terrible. Strong fingers are digging into pale flesh, muscles are bulging, distorted by the tension, the twist of the bodies. One of them, ferocious and conquering, is standing above the other, dragging his head back, on the verge of bitting into the exposed throat. The savagery of it is heartstopping.
“Dante et Virgile, de William Bouguereau,” says Hannibal à la française, the words easy on his tongue.

Fic and art for the Ravage anthology.

I have been pretty irregular with drawing every day: some night I just crashed and went to sleep, or real life interfered and I didn't have the spoons to draw once the socialising was done.

Also it's getting hard to sit at a table and to draw for a long time: the belly gets in the way. :D

But despite all of that I'm up to date!

So here we go:

( Day 7 to 15Collapse )

Also some people asked me if I was going to sell my inktober drawing like I did last year and the answer is yes. I'll do that in november (if the baby let me of course), probably on facebook because Etsy takes a fee and for original art I don't need batch handling (also, last year none of my sales came through Etsy, so it doesn't feel necessary to bother).

As always my art accounts are Art of Clem on Instagram, Facebook and Tumblr. If you want to follow along my inktober and not wait for the recap, feel free to suscribe!

Hi! Contrary to all apparences I am neither dead nor vanished from the internet! :)

As you may have noticed, my creative output (be it writting or drawing) and fannish participation have been almost inexistant those past few months. My best guess as to why is that I had a lot of going on irl (we had a death in the familly, moved and are planning a wedding) but the most obvious reason is that I'm expecting for the very beggining of December and the way I see it, all my creative juices were turned inward and I was content to mostly be, without producing of creating anything (else). :)

And yet I have decided to shake myself a bit to do a full Inktober for the the third year running. I greatly enjoyed the previous years, and I really want to do 2019 as well... as long as the spawn doesn't decide to come early, of course.

Most of my art stuff is still in boxes, but I had packed appart a pencil case with a few posca, some staedtler liners, a compass, my travel watercolors  and my trusty pentel brush... I miss the inks, but it turns out the reduced pool of available tools forces me to a different approach and style, and so far it at turned out well!

I will not be resposting here everyday, but I have rigged together my art accounts on Instagram, Facebook and Tumblr, so I have only to update on Insta and the other accounts update as well. So if you are interested you can definitely follow me on your social network of choice (though I may not get the PMs on tumblr: if you want to leave a comment either here or on instagram or facebook would be better).


Anyway, without further ado:

( Day 1 - RingCollapse )

( Day 2 - MindlessCollapse )

( Day 3 - The Hunt (Bait)Collapse )

( Day 4 - Heart of ice, heart of stone (Freeze)Collapse )

( Day 5: To build a FireCollapse )

( Day 6 - Who by Fire (Husky)Collapse )

Last year I tried my hand I writing fics in English: a few time directly to English for various fan projects and exchanges, but also translating recent or older stories and I discovered I enjoyed it, so I decided to translate some more stuff this year.
I have been unable to find the inspiration or energy to write new things since the beginning of the year, but translation in a different beast and I find it flexes different muscles... So I went for it and with the help of Sunlit Stone who betaed, I translated a favourite fic of mine, Les aventures de Tribble #5765, a Star Trek AOS fic told from the point of view of the tribble Bones used as a guinea pig for Kahn's blood before resurrecting Kirk with it. :)
And here it is!

(Or: how Tribble #5765 became the most famous tribble of the galaxy.)

I wrote and drew for Ravage, the Hannibal fan anthology exploring the circles of Dante's Inferno... And now the kickstarter for the book is live and has been funded in 5 hours! It looks like the Hannibal fandom is still living and thriving!:)

[Unknown LJ tag] posted: Signal Boost bookmarklet with user name tags for more sites

I made a fork/update to </a></b></a>melannen's fork of </a></b></a>astolat's signal boost bookmarklet, which adds user name tags for more of the sites recognized by the DW user tag. I also made small changes to the text generated by the bookmarklet.

Four udpate by various people later, the booklet that let's you select a quote from anywhere on the web and instantly create a Signal-boost DW post linkling back to it is now highly fuctionnal and the latest update seems to have fixed the issue I had with the post generated tittle. \o/
This post have been created with the latest version. :)

I used melannen 's super useful sorting algorithm to work out which WIP I should focus on first, based on a totally subjectif mix of how interested I am in writting them at the time, and how close they are from actually finished.

- The Dresden File fic is still far from done, so even if I keep focused on it, I know I'll work on many other fics on the side before it's done.
- I really love my Calvin icon. :D</user> This entry was originally posted at https://jainas.dreamwidth.org/219256.html. Please comment there using OpenID.

stitchmediamix posted: Queer-Coding, Bad-Bat-Takes, And Why The Joker Isn’t That Important to Batman

The comics industry loves villains that appear to be moral Mirrorverse images of their biggest and best heroes. It makes sense with many other hero-villain set ups (like Superman and Lex Luthor, Hal Jordan and Sinestro), and can be used to set up dynamic and intricate plot points that are just part of the tense relations between the characters who seem to be direct opposites of one another.

The difference between the aforementioned hero-villain relationships is that these heroes and villains aren’t set up to owe their existence to their foes in the same way that comic pros and fans insist the Joker and Batman owe one another.

Even with some serious retconning and rewriting on the part of DC’s many writers over my lifetime, it’s a theory that still doesn’t work for the Joker and Batman because they don’t need each other.

A very interesting article on the unbalanced relationship between Batman and the Joker, that also dig deeper in the way the queercoding of the Joker is usually framed. (Aka "The Joker is never seen as more terrifying a figure to Batman and his readers than when he is visibly and aggressively queer.".) Lots of interesting points in there and plenty of food for thoughts given that I still kind of lowkey ship-them and even wrote them once or twice... though not quite in this dynamic of course.
