Sooo, let's see if this works! :D

There was an entertaining challenge posted this week by akatnamedeaster regarding drawing, and because it's Friday and I'm up to some fun I could do with some further embarrassing of myself, LOL!
Here's the banner to the challenge:





And here's my entry:

Well, yes, I'm aware that I'm on the other spectrum of talented, so this will definitelly call for subtitles: it's meant to be Scorpius Malfoy, enjoying his first morning coffee served by his lover. :)

LOL, giggle all you like, you know I am! :D This is fun!

Very lovely as I said over in Kat's journal too. I love Scorpius' collar and think his lips are very kissable. Well done, you!

Thank you, darling, it wouldn't happen if I didn't see your post, I was inspired. :) I wouldn't have actually posted it here unless I had to - I couldn't paste the pic directly to comments, so Kat told me to post it in my LJ and copy the HTML code and it worked! I would never have thought of that! :) We did well, your owl is adorable! :)

Ah, you know,I've submitted my frostiron draft a day early and should have written some more, but it's super hot here atm and I thought: let's do this. If you don't try it when it's a little fest for non-artists, you'll never do. It went better than I thought it would. Still think drawing a human being (or an animal) with lots of joints and an expression-like you did-would have been way more difficult. But yeah, glad my post could motivate you. <3

Yey, frosti-Ron draft is already readable! :) Can't wait to have some more to read from you. It's hot here as well, but I've always been somewhere with an air-co or ventilator, so it's not a problem. I even went to jump for 20 minutes with my son - that child has energy enough to power a small city! :P
Well, I happen to think animals are super hard to draw - I wanted to do a cat once and I laughed myself to tears, but my bunny and duck are passable, LOL - and I would have completely blown the owl. As far as I go, your owly looked exactly as it should and it had coffeeeee! :D I'd be happy to see it fly off the paper and into my office! :)

Well, the draft is ready, but the story's only half finished. It's the check in where the artists can take a look and pick a story. Not sure if they're matched or how it'll work (as I'm not sure the authors get to see the procedure). But yeah, Grace as my beta did a hell of a job on that part so it's as pretty as it can get.

We were swimming today (2nd day in a row) and even though I didn't catch much sun, I still feel it. The little one was very tired afterwards too and went to bed early (lol, mission accomplished). ;p

I see, so you're basically done with the draft but there are a few more steps for this whole thing to run. Don't forget to let me know when it's posted! :) I haven't worked with Grace before - except when she was a mod, and she was a kick-ass one - but I imagine she's super competent.
You have time off with your family in the city or are you on actual vacation? I'm taking kids to swim this weekend as a goodbye to the summer, and my older son and his dad are going to a Pokemone gathering tomorrow! :)

[nia_kantorka]

It'll be posted between Nov 1st and the end of November. I'll get my post date mid October, so I can tell you by then.
And I think the story is going to be around twice as long as it is now (which is nearly 10k).

Family time in the city. We have an open-air bath not far away, and as there are still summer holidays here it's not that crowed which is great. Enjoy your swim too! :D

Even though it's early I'm off to bed now.
*hugs*
