Noirenails has inspired me.

Here's an illustration of a scene from the Red Dwarf Novel I'm currently writing. Thought I'd share. :)

God damn you're good. Lovely, brooding negative-space style. Magnificent body language.

*stares*

Encore.

I have a sketch I've been working on currently, but it's a touch non-con. I'm not sure if that's kosher here, it does have relevance to my story, of course. It's a scene from a couple chapters beyond where you've beta-ed too.

I'd love to see it, although of course that's the call of the mods. I love a good bit of non-con.

I don't think I've enjoyed beta-ing a story more.

Oh, lovely. Lovely boys. I like your style - it reminds me a little of the Norwegian illustrator Thore Hansen; he does SF illustrations too.

Novel, eh?

I took a look at his stuff. Definately interesting, I like the twisted perspective he uses. No discernable groundline.

Roadstergal and zekass have been helping me out betaing the chapters of a novel I'm writing.

I have a complete outline currently, but I'm debating if I should post a couple chapters before I have finished it in it's entirity. It will be 100,000+ words by the end. It is slashy, yes, but also has a bit of het.

I don't like it when online authors don't finish a project in a timely manner so I don't want to do it myself.

Oh man, I wish I could write novels. Well, I can. But I'm bad. At it. Sort of. I dunno. It's difficult. :)

I have the opposite problem.

I really have to strain to write short stories. And when I think I've actually done it, actually written a short story I get the same con-crit every time, 'it's too big, it should be a novel!'

My problem is detail. I make things too intricate, introduce too many questions. And I've tried, oh how I have tried, to reduce detail and create a short peice.

Although I guess I must have done something right at last since one of my 'short' stories won the yaoi-con fiction writing contest. :\

Now if I can only beat the others into short story shape as well...

*whine* I really want to know what's going on in that pic. Well, the part of me the isn't going 'omg black = pretteh'. Which is a large portion of me, at the moment.

I second the Novel, eh? comment.

Um, OK, wow that's... intense!

Beautifully drawn.

Very compelling, and quite lovely.

So how far along is the novel, if I might ask?

[typhonblue.livejournal.com]

Around 22,500 words in. So 1/4 of the way.

Gorgeous pic! Dark and broody - just how I like 'em. :)

If you like the art, then read the story it's based on! :D

BTW, thanks for the compliment.
