half of the time we're gone, but we don't know where

Hrm, I am several days behind on snowflake_challenge! Need to catch up. The thing is, Day 8 was about setting fannish goals, and ... I don't feel like I can do that right now. I mean, I suppose I could set a goal for the summer, but I think it's better if I don't even think about it. Thesis.

Day 9, on the other hand, was awesome ... it just took me two days to complete: In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something. I drew some fanart! Inspired by someone's Day 4 wishlist, because I love the whole circle of fannish gift-giving. So mammothluv wished for
"crossover fanworks of any of my favorite ladies." We seem to have a fair number of favorite ladies in common, so that took a bit of narrowing down ...



I dressed Renee in her Question gear, but ... I was figuring that she might have been liasing with Beckett as a former (or even pretending to be a current) Gotham detective. (Mostly I just wanted to draw her face.) I've been having a weirdly art-blocky sort of week ... full of ideas, but execution has not been working out so well. However, I'm mostly pretty pleased with this, especially with Kate and with the background.

I'd like to see the prompt I was going from get filled repeatedly in all kinds of ways, but I hope this will do okay for one. :)

Day 10's challenge--rec a creator--is also awesome, and I want to do it justice! I may post again later today. Right now there are things I need to get moving on. I have the day off (breaktime work schedule is kind of nice), and I think I'm going to hop the free commuter bus a couple towns over and work in a cafe with fewer distractions. There is never, never enough time!

Still, David Bowie announced this week that he's putting out a new album in March. There are always, always things to look forward to, jfc.

This is completely badass. I LOVE the expression on Renee's face! And the calculating, assessing look on Kate's! And Batwoman in the background, eeeeeeeeee! :D You did a great job, bb.

Aw, thank you, honey! <3 (This is the happiest I've been with my work so far this year, so hopefully that's a good sign.)

[fleurdeliser]

Ugh, GORGEOUS. ♥

[reflectedeve]

THANKS. :D

Ahhhhhhhhh! *flails excitedly* BEST TEAM-UP EVER. Ahhhhhhh!!! I'm trying to decide if I like this better in a straight up team up where they are bad-ass cop ladies with cases that have crossed over so they decide to team up AND MAKE WHATEVER BAD GUY SO SUPER SORRY... or If I like it best in a cracky way where Beckett finds out the world of DC Comics is real and then gets to team up with Renee BECAUSE SHE LOVES COMICS SO MUCH AND I BET RENEE IS ONE OF HER FAVORITES AND CAN YOU PICTURE HER BEING PRECIOUSLY STARSTRUCK ABOUT IT WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN A COOL AND PROFESSIONAL DEMEANOR AROUND RENEE. Never mind, I'm just going to sit here and stare at this and like it ALL THE WAYS. But oh my gosh look how tough they both look AND SO HANDSOME IN THEIR JACKETS and so comfortable working with one another and no one would get anything past them and they're such an intimidating sight to badies. *hugs computer screen*

This is AMAZING. Thank you ever so much for creating this and for sharing!

Oh my gosh, what a lovely comment to get. I am so thrilled that you like it! <3 And I am enjoying your scenarios (I would not be able to pick). Thank you for the awesome prompt!

Aaaaaaah, that is AWESOME.

Gorgeous art! <3

[reflectedeve]

Thank you so much!

[rhivolution]

FANTASTIC. Lovely.

[reflectedeve]

Thanks, hon! :)

[lilacsigil]

Ah! Gorgeous! I love Renee's hat and the way they both look determined and yet entirely unimpressed.

[reflectedeve]

Hee, thank you. (Fedoras, as it turns out, are pretty challenging to draw from any angle. Yeesh.)

[summerstorm]

Oh, my. This is wonderful. I'm not familiar with Renee, but she looks badass, and your Beckett looks amazing. And the background is so cool!

[reflectedeve]

Oh, thanks so much! I had a lot of fun with that background.

(Renee Montoya is a DC Comics heroine; formerly a detective in Gotham PD, now the costumed hero known as The Question. Has a history with Batwoman. :))

Ugh, I love your art. That's gorgeous.
