My art for the @oldguardbigbang and @captainlilja’s sweet story about a furry little matchmaker and Joe and Nicky falling in love:

“Moments So Dear”

🎨 Art post on Ao3

My final TOG art set for the TOG BB!! ✨️

Thank you to @oldguardbigbang for organizing and allowing me to work with three wonderful writers, including @sphinx81 whose summary of a historical AU for Booker x Nile made my heart soar and my imagination go wild with the possibilities, way back in spring which feels like a million years ago lol.

It was so fun to exchange some aesthetics and pins and narrow down the looks - I was inspired by the foldable wooden displays of icons and mummy portraits from ancient times - so it's sort of conveying each of them from both the before and after (but I'll let you read the fic so as not to spoil anything), and then the middle being the revealed portion when both "flaps" are opened.

If you'd like to read the fic, you can do so here on AO3, and it's perfectly titled: "If I Cannot Move Heaven, I Will Raise Hell." 😎

The Old Guard Big Bang 2022

My art for Strange-Eyed Constellations by the lovely @kaydeefalls​ for the @oldguardbigbang​! The medium is oil pastel on paper, running with the starting pitch of "The Old Guard ... in SPAAACE"!

Here’s a playlist inspired by the fic, aiming to go from WOO, SPACE! to some immortal melancholy and come back around to hopefulness, which I hope does justice to the story! 

Title: Second to None Fandom: The Old Guard / Aladdin (2019) Pairing/Characters: Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicky | Nicolò di Genova, Jafar (Aladdin 2019)/Nicky | Nicolò di Genova Word Count: 11669 Rating/Category: R SLASH Content Notes: Harry Potter/Magic AU, different first meeting

I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU TO MIFIC for creating the most gorgeous piece of art for my story at such short notice, and for taking the time to run through the story and suggest improvements. The story is far better for it. Please note: any remaining grammar/silly mistakes will be all mine!

Summary: Three thousand years after being trapped in a lamp, the all-powerful genie, Jafar, once known as Yusuf, is awoken by yet another new master. Nicolò di Genova, a Christian soldier and priest, believes Jafar is a demon sent to tempt him and refuses to make wishes. Genies are Djinn, and Djinn are tricksters, but Jafar gets more than he bargains for when he chooses to interpret his master's dying words as a wish for everlasting life.

Hey, it's IndigoSun again! ❤ I'm not sure if you're still accepting roses for one sentence snippits of your wips, but I'd love to send a couple 🌹🌹🌹's and well wishes your way.

I'm always accepting them, it's a good way to make sure I have at least a few new sentences on a WIP to share (LOL)!

"I am ready to go," Nicky murmurs. "There is nothing more that I need to do in this existence as Nicolò di Genova. Except to love you."

Skrunkly nugget Raditz.

THE LOST ASTRONAUT

written by @gallifreyburning and @takiki16

art by meeeeeee

Nicky is lost in deep space after he and his crew are separated in an explosive getaway from Merrick Station. He wakes up in the random ship he stole in the midst of chaos, adrift impossibly far away due to emergency light speed jump. He's desperate to repair the ship's engines and get back to civilization before the isolation affects his physical and mental health. But first, he has to get to the root of the the slow, creeping feeling that he isn't actually alone out here in the vast emptiness of space. There is someone else hiding on the ship.

TOG BB Art #1

I had the privilege of getting to make a two part set for the lovely @boutiquetraveltravelboutique TOG BB fic "Rate the Date." Though please feel free to show her post some love as well 💗

ID. A digital art piece featuring Joe and Nicky embracing as they gaze at each lovingly. They are both off to the right side, within a hot air balloon basket, and around them are several more flying above the fields beneath them. END ID.

ID. A faux book cover for the fic "Rate the Date" with a sky blue, white clouds, background and an imposed hot air balloon image on the left, and on the right a bracket. The left side also includes the summary of the fic, while the binding has the title and author listed with her AO3 name, "Obscure_Ramblings." END ID.

It was such a joy to get to coordinate with the kind Sarah and help bring her vision to life, and I hope it brings a smile to both her and anyone else who might stumble on this 💙

Here's my contribution for this years @codywanbigbang !! I partnered with the lovely @yomawari and @dreamingangelwolf on their fic Lay Waste To The Shores Of Time

You can find yomawari's lovely art here or here on AO3!!!

It's been such a blast and I hope everyone enjoys the fic as much as I did!!!

Link to the art on AO3 as well

TOG BIG BANG 2022

My first time taking part in one of these! I really enjoyed making art for Joe’s Frozen Romantic Dinner by @nkp1981 and finding a way to get across the world of her fic and her view of the characters. Check out the fic if it’s your cup of tea!

My submission for The Old Guard Reverse Bang 2022 @theoldguardevents
