Finally - I'm back on track with commissions. Suzene's is done, Poufy's Brisco is ready to be coloured, and then I can finally get to melyanna's. And after that, it's the contest prize artwork!

You should be noticing a definite increase of dark colours in my next pictures. The reason is simple - I got a new monitor on Saturday and was nearly knocked off my chair when I realised how dark my old one had become. Thusly, most of my recent pics (recent meaning since 2006 or so...) were *never* meant to be as pastelly as they turned out. I wonder what you thought when you saw my "Bastard of Camlo Hill" and read my comment about Aidan wearing black, when, in fact, it was closer to lilac...

I should have noticed that the entire lower half of my Photoshop palette was entirely black on my screen. I'll probably go and re-upload some of my older pics the way they were meant to be. I can't get over what they look like. If any of you added me to their watchlist because of my use of pastelly colours, my sincerest apologies.

Last but not least, I've recently written a bit more Heroes fanfic. I uploaded "8:12 PM" but dA isn't the best place for word formatting - I use a lot of italics and going through them all again before uploading is rather tedious. So if you're into Heroes and want to take a peek, my fanfic can be found here. [link]

A shorter one, The growing frustrations of Officer Parkman, illustrates Matt Parkman's and Nathan Petrelli's first meeting in Texas.

I'm currently writing the last (short) chapters of Fathers and Sons, my take on Petrelli family dynamics, including flashbacks to when Nathan and Peter were kids. Inasmuch as they were ever kids at the same time.

So, hopefully some new stuff coming up soon.
