Title: Portrait of CPT James T. Kirk
Artist: mijan 
Rating: G

Fandom: Star Trek ST:XI

I started sketching this on the way home from Sectus, on the airplane. It was an interesting challenge, especially when we hit turbulance, and I was too stubborn to pause. But when I got home, I didn't edit it right away, and the graphite became a bit too stuck on the paper, and manual edits became a bit more difficult. So, I've attempted to edit through photoshop on my laptop. (No art tablet - not even a mouse. Just a touch-pad.) So, here goes nothing. *sigh* Please tell me it doesn't suck.

Title: The Final Duel (Creative, huh?)
Rating: PG, I think.
Genre: Canon
Medium: Mechanical Pencil
Artist's Notes: I had a bit of trouble with the position of Harry's left arm and hand, but I did some extremely painstaking edits with photoshop, and I think I'm happier with it now. Better angle. Also, my crappy scanner is too small to get the whole image, so it cut off the bottom inch of the page, including my signature and the equivalent of a foot of Voldy's back. *shrugs* Gotta love technology.


( And it all comes down to this... )

Yes, Harry's birthday has come and gone. And granted, this year, it would have been his 27th, not his 18th, but hey, why not? Actually, seeing as he was 17 in the book that just came out, we can pretend he's turning 18 all over again! Brilliant, yes?

And while we're at it, let's enjoy a bit of AU, and bring Snape back to celebrate. I figure, in my perfect canon, Severus would have had some phoenix tears handy, and healed himself after Harry had left. Then, he and Harry would have a lot of catching up to do over the summer.

Besides... I figure, if I'm going to leave LJ at all, I'm going to do it Fred-and-George style. Here's my Instant Swamp.
