Funny, sad, gritty and grand: A Reading Journal

A journal for my reading, and fanart thereof. I read mostly fantasy and romance and post my thoughts on my reads here. Lately I've been structuring these posts in terms of whether or not books pass basic tests for female agency, complexity and presence in media (i.e., the Sexy Lamp, Mako Mori and Bechdel test respectively). The title of this blog is taken from a quote by Vivian Vande Velde; they are four basic criteria I look for in the books I love.

Tribute to Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter Series: Elena and Raphael

Started drawing/painting this last week, finished just now - they're supposed to be Elena and Raphael from Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series. I listened to both Archangel's Blade and Archangel's Storm (from that series) while painting this.

I'm not happy with the hands, or the clothes, but think it's better than the Ivy Blacksmith one that took me much longer.
