like a picture of a sunny day

Hey kids! I know I've been . . . extremely absentee this year. I've been very busy, and fandom just hasn't been ranking very high on my list of things to do. However, how on earth could I resist a femslash cliche challenge? I've drawn these two pieces as entries for alien_altars. Both are Marvel comics femslash, and both are Not Safe For Work, so view at your own risk.

In both cases, I kind of had a cliche in mind, but neither one really worked out. ^^; Fortunately, artists weren't actually required to use cliches. (They really do work better with narrative; if I'd had time, I would've written a cliche femslash comic. I still may, at some point.)

Fandom: X-Men (comicverse)
Pairing: Rachel "Marvel Girl" Grey/Kitty "Shadowcat" Pryde
Rating: NC-17
Summary: This picture has a bit of context.
(failed) Cliche: I'd say "telepathy/soulbond," but that would totally be cheating.



Fandom: Runaways
Pairing: Karolina/Xavin
Rating: R (for nudity)
Summary: I guess the idea is Karolina accepting and loving herself for who she is (a sparkly alien lesbian). So here, Karolina is admiring herself in a mirror, while a happy post-coital Xavin looks on.
(failed) Cliche: Started out as voyeurism, but didn't wind up qualifying.



Enjoy, guys . . . I have to go to bed already. I just wanted to get these up now, rather than after work tomorrow.

*dies* The Rachel/Kitty one is incredibly hot and very cute, and I love the context. It's lovely, and so is the K/X one. The colors on the second one are splendid and it might have been my favorite out of the two if I weren't such a Rachel/Kitty shipper. This is beautiful work. :)

Aw, geez. I'm really tickled that you like them, honey. :) I always think of you when I draw Rachel and Kitty.

(And god, how much do I love that icon?)

These are beautiful! I especially love Karolina - the colors are stunning, and I just love her pose.
