The Electric Things Have Their Life Too*

[steammmpunk]

I'm temporarily back (if anyone noticed my absence, that is) to post the art for paintedspires. The prompt is cyberpunk AU.

RL's a little rough right now (that I finished this on time is nothing short of a miracle. Really), but hopefully I'll be back soon. Without my happy place = fandom, I'm just extra grumpy. I miss you guys all. *hugs*

And don't forget to check out paintedspires!

Aaaahhhhhh omg pretty! So lovely, I love your colors and your lines and John's face and lips mmmmm. I love the circuitry and the smoky background through them, so beautiful!

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeee thank you so much! And really, kidnap me anytime - just feed me and um, walk me. ;D (Thanks for the rec!)

I love your take on this prompt. The colors are gorgeous and they just fit the gentleness and softness of the moment perfectly.

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it!

[sardonicsmiley.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is gorgeous. I love the city in the background. And their soft, soft hair. Also, the machinery in John's arm is great.

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm glad you liked it, thank you very much!

Wow, that's stunning! The circuitry is great and I love their faces, particularly the eyes. Gorgeous. :)

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked. :D

[eveningblue.livejournal.com]

wow, that's really gorgeous. I love the translucent quality of their skin, that you can see the background through it.

That is just one of the most arrestingly beautiful things I've seen in a long, long time. I love the ambience of the colors, the way the mist and steam become the silhouette of the city, and the way the mechanical details of the exposed components contrasts with the very, very human curve and luster of their skin. And my god, you've nailed the likeness on both of them so beautifully (neither being an easy guy to draw right, in my opinion), and the sheer intimacy of the moment, John's thumb on Rodney's shoulder and Rodney's thumb pressed against John's lips, their half-lidded eyes ...

It's just amazing, startling work. Probably one of the best pieces of fanart I've seen in five years and half a dozen fandoms, and one of the most gorgeous illustrations, sans any genre caveat, that I've seen in a long time. And I'm on the outskirts of a group of independent comic artists, so I get to see a lot of good illustrations. Just incredible, really.

*blushes furiously* Oh wow. I'm really thrilled that you liked this, and incredibly flattered by your feedback (I adore and admire your stories, and even your feedback's awesome). Thank you so much for your kind words! ♥

So cool! I love the whole feel of this--the harsh machine parts mixed in with their tender looks. I especially love the look on John's face. It's so honest and open.

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

*beams* Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

God, this is so incredibly beautiful.

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you so much! *dances gleefully*

[thingswithwings.livejournal.com]

oh, wow. the softness of the colours is perfect, especially with the smoky drifting Atlantis-background; really I can't get over how soft and delicate and warm you've made them here. And the looks on their faces - I can see a whole story here just in their expressions, John's vulnerability, Rodney's aching desire to comfort, to reassure. Really, this is gorgeous work.

[steammmpunk.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you so much! I'm absolutely thrilled that you liked this. *beams*

[cupidsbow.livejournal.com]

Ok, uh, since I'm back and staring some more (like every other commenter here, trust me), do remember last time, when I made flaily noises and you revealed to an angelic chorus that you had a larger more wallpaperish size? *hig hopeful eyes*

[maxinemayer.livejournal.com]

Love, max
