Hi everybody!  Wow, I can't believe how long it's been.  I've been so busy working on this wacky show that I haven't even had a chance to take photos of our last costume.  

I do have something to share though!

My husband and I made a short film for a horror contest.  The theme of the contest is 'Who's there?' and the rules were it had to be three minutes long, cost less than $1k and be some form of horror.  Sadly it doesn't involve any crossover kissing but I think it came out pretty neat and if you have three minutes, please take a gander:



The monster was designed by Kelsey Berk who is a super cool and talented lady.  My husband directed and I did... basically a bit of everything else, lol.  Costumes and props and visual effects and even cooking for everyone.  It was really fun and I hope you enjoy.

How are you all?

I don't usually post my fic here, but I just did a piece for the Dragon Age Big Bang.  Since I knew a few of you also share my enthusiasm for my favorite rarepair (hi Corbie), I wanted to share a link to this Finn/Dagna, post-DA2 story I finally got around to writing.  It's got hugs, and magic, and explosions, and a scary cow, plus art by wadebramwilson and eyeofmantorok.  

In case you like that sort of thing :)

I love this meme and I haven't done it in a little while so...

Be one of the first 15 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Featured List!

For each of the 15 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.

Update: I didn't get 15 responses so I'm just going to update this with some features of artists I like.  No need to link back, but feel free to add a comment, there are some spots left :)

A slave and a mage by Achico-Xion Aerith - Will you come back? by Achico-Xion
Some lovely cosplay photos of some of my favorite characters!  I love the attitude, and the super-saturated colors.

:thumb195313857: :thumb306062423: :thumb309158680:
A neat character and some pretty amazing face painting. And I also like rainbows. :)

3. :icondasque:
New Dawn by Dasque Alistair and Anora by Dasque Love Is by Dasque
The incredibly talented Dasque!  I know Dasque first from fanfiction.net, and her stories are wonderful but her art is also amazing.  Her illustrations have so much sweetness, I love that they tell a story.  Especially when it's my story :P

4. :iconrihouston:
Oh no she didn't! by RiHouston :thumb283139153: Lena-The Hero of Ferelden in Kirkwall
Setting:  The beginning of Act 3 in Dragon Age 2 after the Arishok is defeated and Hawke is proclaimed the Champion of Kirkwall.  Roughly seven years after the defeat of the Blight by my estimations.
Lena Amell could feel the tension as soon as her ship docked in Kirkwall.  It was a city with a thin layer barely concealing the violence that lay just beneath the surface.  Wearing her Warden Commander armor and carrying a sword and shield, she was let through without a second glance though she noticed all the mages traveling into the city were put to one side for further scrutiny.  Had the Templars tested her for magic however, they would have found her to be a mage in spite of her warrior like appearance.  Her attire wasn't meant to deceive-she had acquired specialized training as an Arcane Warrior whose practice had been lost to time until she stumbled upon it in a crypt hidden deep in the Brecilian forest.  After sh

I met this lady from her Show Me the Love contest back when, and she is seriously one of the sweetest, friendliest people on the internet.  She shares my sincere fondness for mages, templars, and grumpy old air benders.  The third piece is a story that I'd like to see more.

5. :icondrathe:
Someday... by drathe DA: Heart of Ferelden - Anora by drathe DA:O Bubbles by drathe
Drathe has an unmistakable personal style and draws with so much emotion.

Lovely illustrations.  I particularly like that rendering of Justice/Anders.

Hi all!

Just a quick update to say that my husband and I will be at Anime Expo (Saturday) and SDCC  (Friday-Sunday) this year.  I'm trying to finish some other costumes so I don't know what exactly we'll be wearing but we'll definitely go as Bethany & Anders at least one day at SDCC.

Anyone else going to these two?  Feel free to say hi if you see us :)
