Fanart? For me?

[katiefoolery]

On the weekend, I was privileged enough to receive my very first piece of fanart, courtesy of the good flippyfrog.  Despite my many years of working with words and crafting stories, I don’t feel I’m actually capable of expressing how excited and delighted I was by this.  I always love receiving feedback on my stories and I think (after having now experienced it) that receiving a piece of fanart has to be the ultimate compliment.  The idea that something in your story impressed someone enough to sit down and draw it for you is truly amazing.

The story in question is Child Care and the artist is flippyfrog/Flit.

If you click on the image, you’ll be taken to the larger version on Flit’s LJ.  I’m delighted with it.  It’s exactly as I imagined the image in my head as I was writing the story and I’m simply chuffed to realise that it came across just as strongly to those who read the story.

Thank-you muchly, good Flit.


P.S.  Squeeee!

Yay for fanart!!!!!

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I was so excited when Flit proposed it and she was very productive and presented it to me pretty much the next day.

Aw, that's so cool!

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Isn't it great? I still have a warm glow from it.

[blindmouse.livejournal.com]

It is indeed a cool picture :-) Which I should probably have commented on Flit's journal rather than yours, but I was lazy...

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she'll see it here, too. :)

[flippyfrog.livejournal.com]

Geez, you really do hate it don't you :P

I'm just so glad you liked it. I'm tempted to do more now, only i don't know what to sketch *such a comment sleeper*

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can't stand it. I'd burn it if I could but you have the original.

Do you like it, Bunne? Are you happy about the fanart? Is that what you're trying to tell us?

:P

Huzzah for fanart!

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Well, I do like it a little... I don't know if that came across. :P

[bunhusband.livejournal.com]

If you wrote a few more stories, people might do more fanart:):)

Im sure your friends could do a great job designing the cover of "Black Fiddle" should it ever be ready:)

:P

Pushy, pushy...

[charliemc.livejournal.com]

Wonderful!!!

That news makes my day. Thanks for sharing, Katie...

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Hehe - it made my day, too. My entire weekend, actually. :)

[blackswans.livejournal.com]

Woooooooooooow!

That must be super exciting!

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

It is indeed!

[sirgallivant.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! It's fabulous, and conjures up the story for me just as I imagined it. Top Deck to Flit.

*stealthily intercepts the Top Deck on its way to Flit*

I'm just glad the story came across the way I intended. :)

[flippyfrog.livejournal.com]

Ack! No! MY TOP DECK!!!

*runs after the Top Deck*

Wow I'm very impressed with the perspective in this and the shading quality. Very nice!
