More Blue Castle illustrations!

With these pieces, my little zine is nearly complete! I have one blank page at the end of the zine, and I'm debating whether to leave it blank, make another illustration for it, or put a little author's note there, maybe just a thanks for reading to an as-yet-undetermined audience. :)

Anyhow, piccies!



From the fic, "All the Light and Shadow of It", wherein Barney turns to his cats while coming to terms with the reality of Valancy's situation. The cats, naturally, don't care.



A(n admittedly lazy) background for the Valancy portrait from earlier, for the fic, "Queen of the Wild Places". I also included the black-and-white version because I think it looks like an old photograph, and I just think that's neat! :)

A few more decisions, a couple of layout tweaks, and then printing. 😱 I'm afraid I'm going to be spending the better part of an afternoon at FedEx Office.

And afterward, I'll have to see about converting this to a PDF. Just because.

Oh hey, case in point, the drawing's energy is back XD She looks lovely!

It's so cool that you're MAKING a zine happen, I look forward to the end result!

Thank you so much! 💕 Yes, the color and the background (and subtly moving one of her eyes) really brought the Valancy picture closer to my original vision. :D

And the zine I'm making really isn't anything too special, just a few fics interspersed with illustrations, but it feels so nice to hold it in my hands and flip through it (like a REAL book!). Right now, I'm just formatting it into PDFs for both print and digital reading, and then I'll get it up on itch.io for others to see!
