Here's my confession : I didn't want to admit it, but a very recent event confirms what I've feared : I'm kind of a fan of a certain Mr Rufus Wainwright. Now don't get me wrong : I wouldn't kill to get his handkerchief, nor would I cry if he smiled at me (really !). But today, this very afternoon in fact, I met him.
... well. More like, took a picture of him with his consent.
And the fact is, I still have some adrenaline pulsing through the head. Or is it the normal reaction to meeting an artist whose songs you've listened to for about a year, which is not that long compared to the age of planete Earth, but significant for me nonetheless, because since I discovered him he has been in my, say, top three favourite artists.
Anyway. I didn't follow him around the city after that, despite my father's advice and my inconscious wish (so, if I listened to my reason telling me he's a normal person probably not wishing to be stalked, am I still okay even with the adrenaline thing ?). I said "merci beaucoup", he said "à ce soir", I said "..." and went straight to the *high adrenaline level-calling my friends* once he was out of view. To make a long story short, I'm gonna see his show tonight, it's an lovely city but the weather is cold, and I'm knackered because I took the train at 7 am to get here. So am occupying myself with one of my other drugs, ie, the Internet.

... did I already say how awesome this day is ?

So ... have made a JP/Bobby fanart, although it's not that explicitly shippy *grins*. Far from perfect, and there are things I'm just too lazy too fix/add at the moment, but I crave comments, so after showing off to my friends and family I posted it at speedsicle. 

Hi ! Art, but not Snupin this time.

Title : Dans l'intimité de Jean-Paul Beaubier - Intimate with Jean-Paul Beaubier
Character : JP Beaubier = Northstar or Vega
Fandom : Alpha Flight, X-Men
Disclaimer : don't own him (and considering our respective tempers, that's for the better :D), Marvel does
Rating : G
Note : It was originally meant to look like a photograph taken for a magazine article (hence the title), because he's famous in the comic books, so I guess he happens to do interviews.



I'm in need of good new Northstar/Iceman fics ... pretty please, somebody ? I'm almost seriously thinking of threwing myself in the frightening task of spamming the Internet to boost the shippers. Yes, when I should be working for my future.

EDIT : also, did I mention that I now have an IJ ? Anyway you'll find almost the same posts as in here. But come say hello if you want :D

Here it is ...

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.

1. I currently have short hair but have been keeping a single lock long for some time now, not because of some dare or promise, but because 1 : I like it (makes me think of a Padawan thing), 2 : generally speaking, I have trouble persevering, keeping at doing something in time, so this is something lasting I can do without effort. And yes, I'm aware this doesn't make much sense X/

2. Sometimes when I'm wearing a pretty dress and high heels, I feel at the same time like a pretty girl and also a bit of a transvestite. (now you can officially call me a freak, I won't mind)

3. If I walk a path on a sunny day, and there are areas of shadow on the ground, I have to make as many steps on the shadowy parts than on the sunny ones.

4. This one is personal, true and utter oddness : when I was little, I didn't suck on my thumb, but on socks. (Clean ones)

5. When I go to sleep, I very often think of the following breakfast, which makes me happy in anticipation :D

6. I have trouble with ponctuality : I'm rarely late, but I always get ready at the last minute, and consequently often have to run to arrive on time. That's especially true when I have a train to catch : usually I arrive in the station 5 to 10 min before the departing time.

7. I was raised by a nurse who taught me how to whistle, good manners, morals, and slightly non-politically correct songs.

... not very interesting I'm afraid, but I didn't have much time to think this through. Well, anyway now ednama you have material to blackmail me if needed ;)

Finally, I can wish a (belated) Happy Birthday to ednama ! I hope you had a great day and many presents (because we all know that being surrounded by family, friends and love isn't more satisfying than getting what you wished for :P)

I saw the date some time ago, and planned on posting yesterday but I didn't make it ... Anyway ! Give me a prompt (not necessarily snupin, by the way, just tell me what you want and if I absolutely can't do it, you get another try ;), and I shall do my best to present you with a birthday drawing as soon as I have access to a scanner :D

PS : I just saw that you tagged me for a meme ... OK, I'll do it right away, because I wouldn't deserve the nickname you gave me if I didn't ;)

Not that someone other than myself was worried :P.

Proof : imminent sign-up for Snupin Santa 07 (squee), and hopefully, in the next weeks, some Snupin art (this is a self incentive).

Also, not-that-new fandom : X-men are back in my heart, for good. New ship is Bobby Iceman Drake/ Jean-Paul Northstar Beaubier. Well mostly I love Northstar. So JP/ any man deserving him.
Snarky like Snape, but with pointier ears. And richer. And he has nice taste in clothes.


ok, see you !

So here's the last drawing from snupin chat prompts, dungeons_masterwas wishing for a hammock at the time :). Sorry for the delay, it was done but I was busy moving from a flat to another. I hope it pleases, even though it's messy and there's no evidence of romance :)

! big file !


(Also : in just a few days, I'll be landing at NYC !  My first trip to the USA. So, if you happen to live or go there, and see a short-haired brunette with a French accent squeeing loudly while pointing at things, sporting a little Snupin badge, feel free to say hi !)

Went to the chat room some hours ago, and asked for prompts because it's easier to focus and actually do something when you do it for someone :). All drawings are Snape/Lupin.

Sorry, large images

dizilla said cheese :
title : Just a bite, Severus !
Rating : G
Warning : pointless stuff



karasu_hime wanted sweet dreams, I hope this will somehow comfort her after drawing her dark fest art :)
Rating : PG (naked men embracing, but no bits showing and no "action")
Warning : lack of smut, excessive fluff


I hope these please :). dungeons_master, i'm not forgetting yours !

I had to do something for this week's challenge at snupin100. Question de courtoisie :D. Thought of trying my luck with a drabble, but instead of words images came, so there you have it, 6 freshly-sketched drawbles, pasted together to form a comic :

Remus Lupin, gentleman séducteur

Remus Lupin using his homonym's tricks :). The card says "Mon coeur vous appartient", meaning : "My heart belongs to you." Yes, I realise just how soppy it is.

Apart from the obvious play on words, the reason for this is that Arsène Lupin has been one of my favourite character for as long as I can remember. He's clever, charming, cheeky but the soul of honour, better than a Marauder ! 
And Severus doesn't get enough flowers, anyway.

So ... wanted to play with clay, and coupled with my want to do something for lupin_snape, the result is ... :
this,
closer,
another point of view,
oops, bit blurry that one sorry,
and so on,
oh, she changed background

... well, he's not exactly what I had in mind, but for a first he'll do I suppose. I want to do a Lupin too, but dunno when I will.  But a Snupin in clay would be nice *grins*.

(For the record, 10 kg of clay are heavy.) . Also, ha ha, my desk is SUCH a mess *headdesk*. Also also, I made a video : warning, I'm not responsible for neck ache due to the need to turn your head to see the video, the headache due to me shaking while filming, nor am i responsible for the ear ache due to listening to my ramblings in approximative English. I warned you.

Talking about RL is not really the purpose of this LJ, but I guess the election of a new Président is quite important ...

So. Figures : 53% for Nicolas Sarkozy, 47% for Ségolène Royal.

... not nice, but not unexpected.

Oh, he just said something about the USA. Climate is an important matter that he says will not be treated lightly but we are friends and will work together.

Let's just hope he will forget about determinism.

Vive la France quand même, on va essayer de tous s'entraider et de s'empêcher de trop déraper mutuellement hein !

EDIT : in case someone outside of France is interested, here in Lyon there are something like 2 or 3 hundreds of people (never been one for estimating the number of people in a crowd, sorry), walking down the streets just down my window while shouting : Sarko, facho, le peuple aura ta peau (might be translated as : Sarko, facho, the people will have your head) and things like that. My oh my. It's only 22H30.

Ok, so ednama and I are most probably the only ones discussing this matter, but I felt I had to pinpoint this. I mean, look ! It's small, it's delicately round, but it's there. :P

(Amande, you'll notice that I chose a picture where he's wearing sunglasses, so you can't see his big blue eyes and be afraid for the night ;  that's a special attention to thank you for our long conversation ;) )

Night !

If you love colors as much as I do, and if you like those your-personality-based-on-your-birthdate things, then that should interest you :
What's your personal color ?

... hint : go read what they say on January 9th and March 12th, for example ... It's a known fact I tend to see coincidences everywhere, but still, there might be something there ;)

What brought this : I discovered this site while reading an interview of Cillian Murphy, recently seen in "Sunshine". Pretty stressing movie, nicely directed, and wow the use of light, but that's not the point : the point is, this guy is a doll.
I mean, not in any wrong way. Just like, pretty like a doll. Yes, I'm using my monthly quota of "girly talk" to say that people shouldn't be permitted to have such eyes, and fair skin, and fine figures. Hell, my personal color says I can appreciate beauty, so there. It's purely aestheticism. You have to acknowledge beauty in all its forms :D

I don't know if I should be very happy or very anxious. Anyway, snatched this meme from ednama's LJ:

Posted another entry for the Fantasy Fest at lupin_snape. I hesitated for a long time between this cute prompt and the first one I did, so when I saw that this one still wasn't claimed, I grabbed it :P
Hope some will like it, even if it's a quick drawing.

Just posted my Fantasy Fest entry at lupin_snape. Could have done better, like always, but I'm happy with it anyway. Colours are not as nice as usual because I had the fabulous idea to draw on bristol paper T_T, which pencils do not appreciate.

Just saw the news. To all American people reading this, my deepest sympathy. I wish you didn't have to endure this so often.

Am currently supposed to be working on William Blake's drawings and engravings for a class, and I just discovered this one. It's is Nebuchadnezzar by Blake, and it's also totally a possible version of Lupin, mid-change. Angst ahoy ...

(For a better image, and if you want to check out Blake's work 'cos it might amaze you, The William Blake Archive)

Remus' birthday !
Second time I'm celebrating it.

Title : Severus gets literal
Rating : hm, PG for blood ? but nothing scary. It's just a poor drawing ! you can see much worse in CSI:NY.
Warning : it's just pretty lame.
NOTES : having been busy all day, i had to come up with an idea for Remus' present, and asked the chat room for help. Wanted to do sort of a sequel to this.  You can blame iheartbowie for the result :D


Severus finally got to see Pirates of the Caribbean II. (Secretly) very moved by Remus' gesture, he wanted to give him something special in return, for his birthday. Unfortunately Severus was not very good at expressing his feelings. He decided that the best way to make Remus understand was to be literal.
"Here. Happy birthday."


(the thing in Severus hand IS a heart EDIT : could be Severus' heart, Greyback's, a very rare heart-shaped plant ... Your choice !)

I apologise very profoundly for this, but I had to do something for our favorite werewolf !
... okay, no excuse.

Doesn't seem like there are many Mac/Danny shippers out there. I think I have read almost all the fics I could find.

Any suggestions, please ? *makes big puppy eyes*
