Challenge: darkangel_bb
Story: The Most Dangerous Game
Author: ukefied
My ramblings: Second year in this BB collaborating with an amazing author who wrote one of my new faaaaavorite things! When I saw the summary during claims, it was very clearly for my own prompt, which seemed kind of like cheating somehow, but it was awesome and I couldn't help it. I AM WEAK, DON'T JUDGE ME. There's hot Alec/Ben and awesome h/c and a lovable Max and monster hunting and and and. I lost count of all the squeeful things. I wish I could've drawn tons more. Muchas gracias to ukefied for being so patient and encouraging and just all-around AMAZING. It's been a blast. <333

NOW GO READ THE FIC.




Click the clickables for for full-size.









I might've gotten a little carried away with the icons. /o\


There were a few sketches that didn't get done because I'm slooooow, and life keeps happening, but at least one I hope to finish and post later, simply because I've been messing with it forever and I feel like it has challenged me to a duel at this point. Also, I tried to draw the Gossamers a bunch of times 'cause, I mean, how can you have monster fic with no monsters pictures? But they kept turning out more cute than terrifying, so I gave up. Here is just one really crappy sketch attempt, anyway, for the heck of it.



(His butt got cut off, sorry.)

Anyway, did I mention yet about how you need to be reading this fic?

Ahahaha! I just scanned that in, like, ten minutes ago, I'm sorry! I had to do it at the last minute so I couldn't chicken out.

WE DID DO IT. It is done! ♥

Gorgeous and evocative artwork!

I must say, I LOVE the subtle-yet-obvious difference between Alec and Ben in the banner. And yay, you drew the Gossamer! \o/ Bravo!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

There is a difference, isn't there? I noticed when trying to use Alec as a reference for Ben in another sketch--simply because there are more screencaps of Alec with different poses and expressions--that you really do have to alter them a little to give it that Ben feel. Otherwise, it is very obviously Alec. Thank youuuu! :D

This art is absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous. And I don't think Gossamer's cutesy. I'd definitely be afraid of him if he was walking up my street.

Great job! Congratulations. :)

Ahhh, thank you! I'm very glad it works for you! And LOL at my Gossamer. I can't help it. I just feel like he'd be totally fine if you gave him a cookie or something. I feel no fear. XP

Thanks so much for organizing this challenge. It was a lot of fun!

Really excellent work. I came here because I loved the layout and colours of the typography graphic, but the drawings/paintings are impressive too.

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you so much! Good to know what works! :D

these are excellent as always and I need to steal the time to read that fic. argh...
I love how you can just tell that the one on the right is Ben. <3

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thank youuuu! <3 And YES. Steal some time because it's amazing.

This art is absolutely breathtaking - I love the individual chapter headings and goes perfectly with the story!!

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Those chapter headers were kinda last-minute, so I'm glad to know they're a hit! :D
