Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

A couple of years ago -- literally, I'm talking 24-26 January 2011 -- I did a rough sketch of a cranky, butch girl!Zuko.  (I have some feels, apparently, about rule 63 stuff that makes the female version of a character ultra!femme and often the victim of sexual violence.) 

Shamelessly egged on by sohotrightnow, I then wrote "You Had A Boyfriend (Who Looks Like A Girlfriend That I Had In Èr Yuè)", in which Zhao is creepy and Zuko is the queen of bad decisions.  Which, come to think of it, makes that complaint about rule 63 versions being subjected to sexual violence seem kind of hypocritical, though I'd argue that (a) there is no actual violence, and (b) hey, at least Zuko isn't banished because she's a pregnant rape victim like most of the other versions.

This week, among many, many other things -- ask me some time about my to-do list.  NO, DON'T, IT WILL TAKE ME TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN -- I've been going through my old sketchbooks, and found what looks like follow-up art to that fic, moving girl!Zuko into season 2.

How much do I love you, show?  LOTS.  Even when Lis has set voice tremble to maximum.  LOVE.  ( And spoilers! And a rather large sketch. )

I AM SPAMMING YOU ALL WITH FANWORKS.


Four and Romana by ~lizbee on deviantART

I just uploaded a whole lot of sketches to my DevArt account, for I compulsively draw while I listen to audio stuff. Any decade now, I expect to master hands.

1.  It would be a really bad idea to embark on a Draw Every Companion project, wouldn't it?

2.  Drawing in Photoshop is hard.  The brushes aren't quite right for it.  Or, more likely, I'm not very good and need practice, but still, I'm having brush issues.

( 3. Proof: Donna sketch. )

lydaclunas drew this on my graffiti wall in Facebook, and it's so brilliant I kind of had to share it with everyone.



IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S NOT THAT FAR FROM THE TRUTH.  And it's a bit terrifying because there's, like, actual shading and detail there, and it's quite scary what lydaclunas can do with a basic little online art thingie.

Irrelevant remark: I hope Amy Winehouse lives long enough to make another album.
