Duane Berry on Virgin...'agent' Krycek all proper and pristine looking, adorable double player that he is :)

heeee! :)

And I'm the cat, obviously
..will someone have pity on me and point me to this Jason Manns' posting defence of the price for the single he produced (with him and Jensen singing?)
Pretty please?
I keep seeing it mentioned and can't find it.

RL
Ion, I'll be in Italy from the 8th to the 15th.
Watch me flying.
Watch me stressing.
A dragon would make it all much bearable...have to wait till July for the next Temeraire book!


And some fandom-related recs/links/stuff:


- rhymephile has created a new M/K community: mk_drabbles

- The 'Supernatural Virtual Season' written by candygramme and art_of_mayhem is here, long and delicious: vss_spn

- fluffy_o is writing an intriguing Dean/Krycek story, HERE ETA: the story is not locked :)

-disanddat has written and uploaded to the Young Jeffrey Archive a short, saucy story involving Sharkey (Jeff's character from Uncaged and an OC related to Supernatural, "Uncle Dave", Detective David Winchester (since franzi1981 says that Clive Owen looks like JDM it looks like a good casting choice ;).
The story is HERE.

Why Fandom makes RL bearable

-I spent a lovely Sunday lunch and afternoon with elizabethoshea and msmoat a few weeks ago: there was Pros fangirling, writing (fan)fiction pondering, RL chatting and overall I had a splendid time with two of my dearest friends whom I'd have never met if not for Pros and fandom - and elizabethoshea cooks a gorgeous lunch, I tell you! It was wonderful to see you both :D *hugs you*


-A month ago I went to Edinburgh for the 10th anniversary of the Marcus Testory Appreciation Society, and I had a grand time. I have notes for a con/meet report, maybe I'll get round to write it eventually! *waves to franzi1981* Always great to see you, dear :)


-The Milton Keynes SPN convention was brilliant too. Again, I do have notes for a con report, but, erm...maybe one day (next year???) I'll be able to write it down coherently. A great time was had by all, and there was fangirling: lovely to meet more of you UKers! (and a few from Europe as well!) Looking forward to next year's UK SPN con :D


- I finished my very own first knitting project! I'm looking forward to start my second and third, chose the patterns alrready, need to buy the yarn. Crappy knitter here, but it's fun and I enjoy it and it's been very soothing in these stressing past weeks. (okay, not fandom-related, but randomness, yes?)


-I have stuff to finish making for people (graphics for SC, burning copies of TV shows etc), I'll get to it asap.


And last but not least:
a HUGE round of applause for doccy, please!

I bought doccy's mad cookie-making skillz for the extra Sweet Charity auction, and the cookies were PLENTY, DELICIOUS, and were DEVOURED by the household in the turn of a couple of days! I'll be first in line if he decides to offer his cookie-making skillz again *nods* :D I've been told there are pics of the cookie-making Adventure...me, I didn't stop munching for long enough to actually take pics. Erm. Sorry!

Hee :)

candygramme wrote me a ficlet for the prompt:
first time Krycek meets an alien (Guerin) and decides not to kill it/him

It's HERE..Krycek meets Michael Guerin and mischief ensues, YAY!
Go read! :D

Nexus!Krycek has a few secret places he hides in, feral pretty boy that he is...disanddat and lorelei633 were discussing it and describing it and my fingers itched... (also, drawing, like knitting, is the best relaxing/anti-anxiety activity, I swear. Makes me feel good. Love it.)

...I'm getting SLIGHTLY better at using Painter. Slightly being the key word there ;) There are a few things that I really like in this illo, and some that I'm not as happy with, but it's always going to be a learning curve.

Any comment/critic very much welcome, tell me what works and what doesn't for you.

One final note: photobuckets shrinks the original due to its size (1000x800 px) - so the version under the cut is smaller than it should be and it suffers for it a little. I'll see if I can upload it somewhere else, and ETA accordingly if successful.

ETA: bigger size in LJ Scrapbook

I also apologise because I have to reply to email/comments, but couldn't face it yet

( Drawing of Krycek in the Nexus under this cut )

I was/am doing a Project Krycek, ie. iconing all Krycek's X-Files episodes...but I sort of strayed so, uhm...yes.
That's still in my List Things To Do, but somewhat delayed.

I bring instead you a number of Krycek icons I made in the past three years (a few of Nick and a few from Nick's other roles too).
All of these were made for disanddat, so she got first choice.
There will be inconsistency of style and experimentation :)

I suppose this is called Icon Dumping *G*

In a few cases, I've used brushes that weren't mine, but in all honesty I don't have the original files
anymore and thus can't credit the brushes author - if you recognise the brush, please let me know so I can credit.

( 60 more under the cut - and I will learn to make pretty tables one day *g* )
