Dragon Painting process by *svetlania

Was playing around with watercolours once upon a time and accidentally painted a dragon, surprise, surprise.  I’m slowly but surely coming back to my fantasy roots, mermaids and elves and magic castles can’t be too far off now.

Second last page of silly Sherlock Holmes comic. Whee!

Page 3 of my silly Sherlock Holmes comic, in which the formidable adversary lays open her cards and boldly states her intentions. CAN YOU GUESS WHO THE MARY SUE IS IN THIS COMIC 8D  I’ll give you a hint, she’s Russian, she looks vaguely like the idealized version of someone around here uploading art and writing a post right now guess guess guesssss

Joking aside, I have a very special place in my heart for the Mary-Sue character, because as a teenager (and hell, as a somewhat grown-up now, still) I Mary-Sued myself into every book and movie I loved.  Every. Single. One.  Lord of the Rings? I saved everyone in there and wore the One Ring like nobody’s business (without being corrupted, obviously). Galadriel and I had tea on weekends and Lothlorien threw parades in my honor.  In Star Wars I was this badass Jedi lady who was also secretly a Sith and worked with all the awesome people to bring balance to the Force.  THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WEPT!! when I was wounded in the final battle and lay on what could well have been my deathbed (while always looking very attractive, of course). I’m not even going to start on all the good deeds I accomplished in The Chronicles of Pern, but suffice it to say that no dragon deaths ever happened on MY watch.
Oh and yes, Harry Potter.  Ohhhh, Harry Potter…  I think I even typed up some of that fanfic, instead of just imagining it.  Now there’s a piece of writing that will never see the light of day LOL

Long story short, Sherlock Holmes is up against a force that may be too much for even him.  Because even his enemies are likely now in love with the magical Countess Potemkina and will do anything for her.

2 more pages left for the riveting conclusion, I will put them both up tomorrow!

Prometheus sequel idea: Vickers survived getting smushed, bums a ride in Shaw and David’s sweet new alien ship. Cue wacky space road trip movie with three people who hate each other.

At some point they play a game of “keepaway” with David’s head as the ball.

I WOULD WATCH THAT.  …But then, I would watch any Prometheus sequel *loved it*
