I'm going to the special hell

But if it's any consolation, cross_stitchery will be there with me. And soooo will Jim.

From cross_stitchery's Paying the Rent:

The boy barely reached his shoulder, and was slender as a girl. His long curly hair was tied back, but short tendrils framed his face like a halo. And the face was stunning – pale and delicate, with full lips and no hint of facial hair. He could have been mistaken for a girl, if not for the tight leather pants and electric blue shirt, open to the waist, that proclaimed his masculinity in no uncertain terms.

(Click for full size. Not safe for work if your work frowns on you admiring the male torso. But hey! It's Saturday!)



This was fun. I started chuckling about midway through the original sketch which I did at work, between entering in data and waiting for the antiquated software to spit back results (my work does not frown on admiring the male torso), and have yet to stop.

BTW announcement: I am (a) willing to illustrate other people's fics -- you just have to ask and (b) willing to mail the originals to the requester - message me. Art looks better in person, especially colored pencil. :)
