This is the little corner of the Universe I've staked out for my illustrations of 
peahopeless's writings. They began as a hobby to give myself something to do when Real Life(tm) isn't eating up my time, but they grew into something much more substantial.
I work primarily with pastel pencils on charcoal paper, occasionally with No. 2 pencil on sketch paper, and when I'm feeling especially masochistic I delve into ink using the most ghetto-fabulous method at hand to remind myself why I don't work with ink. I touch up and add lighting effects to my work in Photoshop, and the day dA offers a category covering Traditional Art with Digital elements, I shall celebrate.
Almost all of my work comes directly from or is inspired by a specific story, and in some cases won't make complete sense if viewed without that context. As such, it's a good idea to read the Artist's Comments section. (Of course, if you're the type of person who enjoys a mystery, more power to you.
) Also, if you like a particular illustration, I very highly recommend reading the story associated with it. The image wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for the inspiration. 
And now, on with the motley...

Playing a bit of catch-up
For anyone familiar with my AO3 presence, there won't be anything new just yet; I'm just posting the fics that I've put up there that for some reason I didn't post here. There will be some Watchmen and some Shape of Water - enjoy! :reading:
Being a Fandom Old
I still exist, but it's been a while - several years, in fact!
And, having recently been inspired to draw again, I've made a discovery that's been a bit troublesome, but not insurmountable: Apparently, it's been long enough, and I am old enough, that my eyes have begun the transition into annoying farsightedness and I have trouble seeing things close up. :hmm:
I've been nearsighted since elementary school, to the point that anything beyond about 12 inches gets blurry. Now, though, anything closer than 12 inches while I'm wearing my contacts is blurry! Considering my normal drawing distance is about 7 inches from my work surface, that mak
Hello and Thank You!
It's a common refrain by now, but I'm not here all that often. Still, I do drop by from time to time, and I really appreciated the birthday wishes. :aww: I'll be putting up a story here that I (finally) finished, and then continuing to work on another that's been waiting to be completed for over a year now, ergh. Anyway. Thank you! :love:
:D
Thank you very much for the birthday wishes! I had a wonderful time, and I'm looking forward to more adventures. :)
I know I haven't been around here for a while, which I regret. RL has taken hold of me with a vengeance, and I don't know how for how long it will last. I'll just have to see when/how I come back to fandom and art.
In the meantime, keep being awesome! :D
