Off with the wind...

 Here it is; the final costumes for the Slayers steampunk..



Don't everyone look awesome? I especially like Amelia. I wanted to do a photolike pose so I can add a background and color it sepia style. Oh yeah. I hope you guys look forward to reading it. I'm hoping the reception of this fic written by Earthstar and drawn by moi will be good and not a "oh hell, another alternate realiy fic!" Trust me when I say; you'll never expect what's going to come up in it XD

Aside from that, i'm currently working on my own new banner for the Lj. I like this one. I decided to go for less characters this time. The first theme was panel. This one was inspired by a lyric in a song I suddenly heard on the radio... "Photoshop the horizon!" Now if I only knew what the song was? anyways, it's basically very simplified. The background turns into colors. A single work is present, a yellow brick road runs towards the horizon and on it the Slayers cast will be walking. I like this banner. It's kinda peaceful...



Spent the evening working on storyboards, cleaning and packing. Off to Montréal for the weekend. Yay!

Oh, that is awesome! It really looks like it could be a photograph of the gang. Zel looking deadpan, with Lina striking a pose--it's perfect! ^__^ Their outfits are excellent, too.

I do like the banner! You're right, it's very open and peaceful. ^^

I wanted o get their personas out, see if they matched the clothing...

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

Awesome! The outfits fit each of them perfectly. I love Amelia and Lina's outfits. I want her goggles! Even if no one ends up liking the fic, it's not going to stop me from writing. I'm having too much fun. ^_~

Speaking of which, you'll be happy to know that I'm currently editing the prologue and chapter 1 of the fic. I'll be e-mailing you them probably by Sunday at the latest. I'm also going to try to type up the outlines for Part 2 and 3 sometime this weekend, since I think I got the plot for them both figured out.

Also, I like the new banner. It has a nice calm/artistic feeling to it.

At the rate I'm going, I *might* get the first 4 chapters done within the upcoming weeks. *crosses fingers* Here's hoping.

The goooooooggles.

don't feel in a hurry heh, we've got all the time in the world. I'm not trying to pressure you into writting just because i'm posting drawings. That said, I can't wait to read the first chapter!!!!! :)

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I just find seeing the drawings for it gives me good motivation to get working on it. I have the energy now, but let's just see how long it lasts, especially once I get more homework. XP

(I think you'll like the first chapter. *evil grin* Lina and Gourry's first meeting is FFUUNN!)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. I so want to read that now. You evil! :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Hey I just though of something that would be hilarious to draw - Lina wielding something, using a miniture flare arrow rather then a mahcine.

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

Cool! Hey, she could be holding the mini flare arrow like a dagger.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yeah! THat would be hilarious. Basically she can't use her powers in broad daylight all the time so she keeps in shape by training hiding in a forest and by doing little things in her shop (like raywing to the top self)

I really like how the steampunk Slayers turned out.


And the new banner looks lovely so far!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

thanks!

It sucks that coloring takes so long.

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

That is true, but everything has to take a little time.

Admit it, my major dislike for dresses has seeped into your consciousness... A sepia-tone picture would look really cool! (On that note, have you ever read Lackadaisy? She loves using that color scheme for her whole comic, and the look is impressive!)

I like the fact both your and Pascal's face are turned away from the viewer and to the path ahead of you. (The fact your hand is reaching back for his only adds to what I think of this picture!) Man, I'm still excited for that upcoming future event!

(So what colors are you going to use? Will the dress be frilly? The cake chocolate? The groom only...half-hot?)

I'll stop now! XD

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

(Thank goodness I haven't gotten asked those yet!!! ^_~)

I agree with Diane. I think that the banner fits the tone of where your life and art is going. This is really a sign of you moving toward the future and embracing all that it has to offer .. and that you won't be alone.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

...wow, over analysis of the banner! *laughs* but it does fit I suppose.

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

(Nor will you ever by me! As I was telling Isa last night, I just don't care about those aspects of weddings.)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I never read that comic, but I did see images of it and I was always really impressed! I'll have to staart reading it!

(Aw, you suck. Don't tease me or i'll keep on making you blush!)

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

The comic is a bit on the...not gory side, but it does have violence. The art is great and the story is interesting (a retelling of the Prohibition Era), plus I really enjoy the characters so I keep checking the place for updates.

(That's the last of it, I promise! I was still laughing after you finally went off to bed, so I couldn't help myself.) ^_-

Seconding the Lackadaisy rec!!

*has to use her grouchy Mordecai icon*

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

That's awesome.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

thanks!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Steampunk looks awesome! I like the goggles Lina has. I like goggles though, so...


I can't wait the see the banner all finished. It sounds like it'll be neato! Have a fun weekend! Tell Linkage I said howdy!

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

I love Amelia's pose!

[grimorie.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's lovely! It reminds me of Girl Genius!

I was looking around for Slayers fans and found your journal, hope you won't mind if I add you to my reading list!
