My university literary magazine's deadline was yesterday so I submitted a little art titled:

More like Victorian youth, haha, but I like him. He's totally period except for the hair (and possible the boots), lol. Even if this doesn't make it into the aegis magazine, I'm still considering it a smashing success. The art nouveau styling looks neat, and I really like how nicely the marker colors turned out (I'm trying to practice more with markers). It's a pretty finished piece. (Free internet cookies to anyone who can guess the building who's silhouette makes up the top of the pic.)
Oh, and for those of you who liked my characters Wilhelm and the General (from The Frozen General and The Broken Sergeant), you'll be pleased to know that the freakin' cold New Hampshire weather has inspired me to write more about my favorite Eastern front officers. *grin*

I'd forgotten that people had actually really liked Wilhelm and his General. *went back and read the comments on the original fic posts* Anyways a Norwegian song inspired the first story (a serious three part fic), but after teh srs bsnss is over there will be unrepentant Wilhelm/General porn. Also drawings (not porn) since I've finally decided what the General looks like. ^^
Thank you, and thank you too, Nels. Hopefully poor Reynard's problem won't be too serious.

Thankies. And in the meantime while I'm bonding with Pentheus the netbook, I can try to figure out the mysteries of using his webcam.
