Summary: Slightly alternate time-line, Riley lives...Cameron's glitch continues to make itself known, and Sarah...well Sarah gets to learn what it's like to be in John's shoes...in more ways than one.
AN: Many thanks to inspectorboxer, a couple of Cameron's better moments in this one came from her, and to revolos55, for her typo scouring.

No, it's not the Tscc pics I've promised you, but those should be coming soon. This is a much more belated illustration I did for my best friend's birthday. I started it on time, but life intervened and then there was always something else that needed doing...All done now anyway, and I don't think it turned out too badly. Done in pen and ink on 36"X22" water colour paper

World of Warcraft theme of course. From left to right is my troll warrior, Gnashmarl, the birthday girl's troll hunter, Zaugreb, and her husband's undead priest, Mazam.

At least for me...

This has been an absolutely crazy week... Work+Classes+an attempt at a social life = < 4hour's of sleep on average per night. Result? Guinea Pigs.

No joke. I was trying desperately to focus on my class this afternoon and this is what happened. I have no idea why. Apparently once everything resembling cognitive thought has been leeched from my brain, the only thing left is small fluffy mammals going "Wee, wee, weeEEE !"

The one on the top right is more or less how I'm feeling right now.

Now, off to a weekend up in the technologically disadvantaged north, I'll be back on Sunday, hopefully with my chapter 9 edits finished, and a rough draft of 10.

have a good weekend everyone!

I am a big Halloween junkie, and it's not about the candy... Honestly... I mean, the candy helps,  but seriously, it's all about the costume. This year I went all out and tricked myself out as my troll character from World of Warcraft. By tricked out I mean I made all of the armor and the axe (If any of you play WOW, you might just recognize "Edge of Ruin"), painted myself blue and temporarily colored my hair. The only thing I failed on was the triple mohawk... I had a friend lined up to do it, but since we were all dressing up and hitting Medieval Times together, we ran out of time.  

Yes, I am a geek, and no, having passed my first quarter century doesn't mean I'm too old to dress up...  I have the pictures to prove it *G*.


So what did everyone else do for Halloween?

AN: Many thanks as always to inspectorboxer, for her help on this chapter, and to revolos55 for getting this back to me on her birthday of all days, and a special thanks tozennie for the technical advice, without which this would have been a lot less plausible.
AN#2: Apologies for how long this chapter took to get posted, I blame my new course, it stole my free time. Chapter 9 is already well underway, so hopefully there wont be a repeat *G*.


Chapter one / Chapter two / Chapter three / Chapter four / Chapter five, part one / Chapter five, part two /Chapter six / Chapter 7

 

Friday night silliness.
These started out as warm-up drawings... but they were too damned cute, so I finished them up while watching "Man vs Wild" and "Futurama." Not my most stellar tv choices, but I have roommates, it's a democracy... and Friday night is definitely my do nothing night.

So, these are our cats, Toast the Don, Dork the resident throw pillow (yes he is that fat, I wish it was artistic license), and Terrabyte, or Terry, the cranky old man. 

Technically, they belong to my two roommates, but since my pets are a lizard and two hermit crabs, I reserve snuggling rights on the cats. I can hug the lizard... he's almost as big  as Terry... but he's not fond of the experience, and  has rather large teeth, so I respect his space. 

Just wanting to wish a happy (and a little early for two of them) birthday to three of my friends here on LJ, from me and the R888! (AKA evil fanart bunny)

4kennedy , revolos55 and grumpybear1031 , I hope all of you have a fabulous day!

Summary: Sarah contemplates life after Skynet
Author's note: Big thank you to inspectorboxer for looking this over for me, and suggesting a line for Cameron that I'm really glad got in here.
AN#2: Chapter 8 of "Resistance is finished, and has been through it's first review and edit, so once it's got it's last check over it'll be up *G*.

Hi all,

The poll has come to an end, and the results were clear *G*. inspectorboxer 's "More than a Mission" came out way in front.

Now, I love this fic, it's probably the story most responsible for getting me writing in this fandom, and I'm stoked to do an illustration for it. However, I think we can all agree that I have a done just a few Illustrations for 'Boxer already (not a scary fangirl I swear!)... So, I've decided in the interest of fairness, to do illustrations for the top three stories instead of just the winner *G*.

That means I'll be illustrating for:

"More than a Mission" by inspectorboxer
"I, terminator" by red_hope1
"Mixed Emotions Series" by zennie

I'm thinking that since I have three stories, and there were three theme categories in the poll (all of which got a lot of votes, though angst was ahead by quite a bit), I'll probably do one theme per story, and that way we get angst, humour and fluff *G*. 

More on that later, hopefully I'll be able to start sketching out ideas this week while I'm away.



Next order of business, "Resistance" update:

I know, it's chapter 4 all over again, Work and Classes are stealing all my time. But... it's almost done. The scenes that were being cranky have been fixed, thanks in part to zennie for her computational know-how, and I have just one more short scene to finish before it can go out for beta and overview. Ideally I can have that scene done this weekend and get it going.

That's it for now... I won't be around much this week since I'm off for a family affair, but I should have net-access so I'll be checking in now and again.

Okay, so I know my next illustration was supposed to be for the poll... but Friday is my night off, and I had this sketched out, and I got to playing around with it, and then it was too close to being finished not to take it the rest of the way.

No surprise, this is from the inspectorboxer 's fic "No rest for the Wicked," which I am hopelessly addicted to...

I can't give you extra time, all I have is art, but I hope this helps a little with the craziness 'Boxer! 

The poll has finally arrived!

For anyone who missed the nomination posts, this is a poll to decide what Sarah/Cameron fic gets my next illustration. I'll contact the writer (where possible) of the winning fic and make sure I have their permission to fanart their story, and provided they're good with it, then we all get some pretty scc art.

All of these stories are available to read either at fanfiction.com in the sarahxCameron community, on ralst's Passion&Perfection site, or somewhere on the Passion Perfect LJ account. 

The second question of the poll is just for fun... If there's a huge slant one way or the other then I might follow it, but it's going to be up to the art muse. If anyone has scene ideas over the course of the poll, then they should feel free to post them in comments. I won't guarantee that I'll go with the suggestions, but ye never know *G*.

I'm actually really excited about this now, should be neat to see what fic I'll end up doing an illustration for *G*.  I've read almost all of these, and some of them are among my favorites so I\m pretty happy with however it turns out. Happy voting!Poll #1465087 "What TSCC fic should 'Bones draw for next?"
This poll is closed.
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 40

Which of these stories would you most like to see an illustration for?

What kind of Illustration would you like to see?

So this is one of the many projects that has been keeping me busy this week... A personalized portrait of the Egyptian goddess Isis, done as a birthday present for a good friend of mine that I took my Illustration degree with.

There are a bunch of symbols from different Isis myths here... and some of them are from Greek reinterpretations. The hint of Hathor in the use of a cow mask is a reference to the blending that happened between the two goddesses at times, and in some interpretations.

And just because I'm curious, are you guys interested in seeing more (or any) of my unrelated-to-femslash artwork?  I'm happy to post what I'm working on, but I don't want to fill inboxes unless people are enjoying it *G*. 

Okay, so I said I was going to put the "What story should Bones draw for next?" poll up last week... but then life got busy, so I'm giving everyone a last chance to nominate fics, and I'll definitely put the poll up this week. 

To be eligible, a fic needs to be a) Sarah/Cameron (I am considering branching out illustratively, but just those girls for now *G*) and b) A story I haven't illustrated for yet. Other stories by authors I've illustrated for are fine though. 

Already nominated:

A Helping Hand by Fembuck
A sight for Sore eyes (and a balm for a bruised hearts) by shyth
Slumber Party by 2headed_turtles
Mixed Emotions Series by Zennie
Territory by 2headed_turtles
I, Terminator by Red Hope
MILF by Faithtastic

I think I'm going to cap the poll at ten stories... so I'll be taking the first three nominations, and then putting the poll up once I have them. So only one  nomination per user please. 

In other news... Chapter 8 of Resistance is in progress... It's just slow going. zennie  has graciously leant me a hand with the tech side of things,so hopefully I'll be able to get that together and up before too long.

'Allo,
I ran across this little digital manip on Deviantart today, and I thought that since I'm currently procrastinating about my article review for the course I'm taking, I'd take a moment to share it with any TSCC fans on my f-list...

If this was real, I know what would be at the top of my christmas list this year....


("Terminator: Cameron Doll")
 

Another little portraiture exercise, this time with Sarah. I haven't felt that I was getting her face quite right so this is me trying to get past that. I'm fairly happy with these, for now... *L* Feel free to tell me which ones are working, and which aren't, I'm trying to get better at portraiture. My specialty is more  animals/mosters.

In other news... I'm struggling a little with the next Chapter of "Resistance", but once I get that sorted out, I'm planning on doing a "What SCC Fic should I do an illustration for next?" poll as a fun aside from busyness, so if anyone wants to suggest stories for the list, I'll jot them down and hopefully get that up next week some time.  (Story suggestions can be any Sarah/Cameron fic out there, but lets try to make them stories I haven't done art for yet, though other stories from those authors, or stories of mine that I haven't drawn anything for yet, would be eligible... and no suggesting your own *G*) 

Soo... it's been a cray last week and a half, and I haven't had much time to draw, so I snuck a few hours this afternoon and set myself this little challenge. Could I draw TSCC's Cameron and Firefly/Serenity's River in the same image, and keep them distinct from one another, while still looking like themselves?

Did I succeed? I'll leave that up to you.

( Chapter Seven )

 

This has existed in sketch form for about a week... and I had a little time today, so I decided to ink it up and post it. If you've read chapter 6 of my Sarah/Cameron fic "Resistance", then you know what scene this is, if not, then what are you waiting for? *G*

Title: Territory

Fandom: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Pairing: Sarah/Cameron
Disclaimer: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and all associated characters are not mine...though since Fox abandoned them, rightfully they should be up for grabs. 
Summary: Prompt response #4. This one was suggested by miyuve 
Sarah and Cameron are investigating a future Skynet software programmer that has a half-time job as a Lifeguard at a private swimming club, and Sarah`s reaction to seeing Cameron in a bikini is that of a hormonal teenage boy,which causes Sarah to end up jumping Cameron after getting territorial...
Rating: NC17
AN: Unbeta'd prompt that got smutty... really smutty, so please disregard errors and just enjoy the pretty *G*.

( Territory )

 

This one is for zennie , an illustration for her Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles  WIP fic  "Gambit" .  She's also the author of a bunch of other really fun fics, including a lot more SCC *G*.

"Gambit" is one of the grittier Sarah/Cameron fics I've come across, and I'm a big fan of Zennie's take on Sarah Connor. If you haven't checked it out yet I encourage you to give it a try!

Enjoy!
