I'm going to be out of town for the rest of the week rather unexpectedly (umm, I had ONE day's notice), which is kind of unfortunate because I have actually been working on real content for this journal (essay! icons! art!), which will now have to be delayed. So, new lj-friends, fear not, I will be back to commenting on your journals and such by this time next week.

Until then, I leave you with the one fanart I have available until I fix my scanner. Look, shiny header:

Character: Narcissa Malfoy
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: G




Notes: I drew and colored this using my mouse. I had never drawn anything on the computer before, and I will never do it again (until I get a tablet, of course). No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the lines to be not-lumpy (this is particularly noticable on the right arm, which looks slightly insane as a result). You'll also see that my shading is sort of lame. By the time I got around to that, my hand felt like it had died and rotted off my wrist, so I was just kind of using dodge/burn. Despite all this, I still like it.


I've got some things in store for when I get back, including an essay in response to Minerva McTabby's poll here and the discussion that ensued (I would post it now, when it's more relevant, because it needs serious editing. I wrote it loooooong after I should have gone to bed and there are somewhat random tangential discussions about magical creatures and so on); pretty icons; scanned-in sketches; and possibly the fic about darklord!Lavender and her army of inferi bunny rabbits. Or, you know, possibly not that last one, because it's pretty embarrassing that I even thought of it (much less that I actually wrote it). It's totally canon-based though, I assure you. *cough*exceptNOT*cough*
