thesocialbbang: round one art + mix

[kristin]

My first big bang post of the year, for thesocialbbang.

Creating art for this fic was so much fun, despite, or maybe because of, the limited time frame we had for this round. (See: my love of pinch hits, deadlines etc. Makes things exciting. I actually had these done within 48 hours of getting the fic.)

Hopefully it doesn't disappoint!

Oooooh, I'm so intrigued for the fic now!

[kristin]

Then the art did its job! Also, the fic just went up. The link (should) be working now.

I really like how while the blue and yellow are very bold you also did some subtle things with them in the pictures of people.

Thank you, darling snow! I am trying to go bolder, or at least, have gone, a lot bolder with the recent fanart I have been doing. We shall see how long this trend lasts, as I am unsure of it.
