Art Master Post: In the Dark

[x_serenade]

So Big Bang art posts have pretty much been the only posts I've made this year in my LJ...lol. Here's another one for ya! nukebigbang

This time around, I had the pleasure of working with escapes. She is one of two authors for this Big Bang that I already knew (and met IRL...srsly, this seems to be a pattern for the authors I work with in big bangs ;)) But because I knew her, it made the experience that much more easier and fun! It was also great to read her fic since I had never read anything written by her before!

Please do go read her amazing (and shall I say, H-O-T) story over on her LJ :) Not to give anything away, but if you are a LOTR fan along with loving the boys, then you'll LOVE this story ♥ And even if you aren't, you'll love it anyway! Trust me! ;)

Anyway, rambling, sorry! Onto the art I did for nukebigbang! :)

Oh wow! What a great book cover! You should design them for a living! It seriously does look like something you could buy off the shelf! Definitely makes me want to read the story! Which I will do because I know it's awesome without even having to click the first link! LOL!... Stunning use of colour and images! Really really well done!

[x-serenade.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. What a very generous and kind comment! It means a lot! I am definitely interested in doing graphic design work in the future :)

The story was lovely but thank you for wanting to read it because of my art! :) I tried as best as I could to depict the story visually and realistically!

Thanks again ♥

Great job. The colours are a perfect match for the story. The blue from the screen... Well done!

Thanks for your sweet words, Ellaface! ♥

Gorgeous icons and banner. I love the bluish/purplish coloring. And shirtless, kissing boys are always nice. :)

[x-serenade.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you so much! Yes, shirtless, kissing boys are always a plus ;)

Also is that a Becker icon I spot? ;)

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

It is indeed a Becker icon. I've recently become a bit addicted to Primeval. :)

[x-serenade.livejournal.com]

Yay! Not many people I know watch it but I love it!

[sweetiejelly.livejournal.com]

I miss your Nuke icons! These are gorgeous. And I really love the poster and banners. So artsy. The poster especially is so 'in the dark' private and perfect. ♥

[x-serenade.livejournal.com]

Awwwww!!! I miss making them, too! I'm so happy someone remembers them! ♥

You are so kind :) Thank you SO much!!!!!

Oooh, looooove the colors with this! The black/blue really is so strong and you blended it perfectly. I love your fonts and the title banners and eeee such pretty icons!

NAKED BOYS ARE ALWAYS AN A++ IN MY BOOK. YEP.

And that banner is fantastic. Gosh, it looks almost like you added paint to it, I reaaaaaally love the texture and the whole effect of it.

This is amazing. ♥

[x-serenade.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you!

NAKED BOYS ARE ALWAYS AN A++ IN MY BOOK. YEP.
MINE TOO!!! What's not to like?! ;D

Gosh, it looks almost like you added paint to it...
Wow, I didn't really notice until you pointed that out! I suppose it does, though! :) I wanted it to look grungy and soft at the same time, if that makes sense?

Anywayyy!!! Thank you so much again for your sweet comments!!! I'm so glad you like the art! :)

This is cool! Love the blues used, and the images insert, for example of the DVDs, are perfect.

Thank you so much <333

[pirl.livejournal.com]

You took an epically written make-out session and made an epically nummy set of graphics!! Holy hell you made our boys look HOT!

[x-serenade.livejournal.com]

:D Awesome to hear you think they're nummy! Thank you!!

If we're being honest, the boys are hot in the first place ;) I just tried to enhance it a bit!

[moongirl24.livejournal.com]

Wow, such beautiful, and can I say HOT, art!! The coloring, in particular, is really, really pretty. I love it ♥ :)

[x-serenade.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you ever so much!! ♥
