Something I've been working on for way too long, but at least it's done now.

Meet Claire, who should appear in part... 09 or 10, I think.



The Lady In My Life by =HiddenGems on deviantART

Happy Birthday,
laurabryannan!! ♥

Hope you have a lovely week-end!!

Whoa, I really didn't think I'd finish this so quickly (I usually spread colouring over a few days).

This is my entry to the "The Forgotten" contest over at the Disney-club on dA. More info in the description over there if you don't know who she is.



Lend Me Your Warmth by =HiddenGems on deviantART

Managed to finish it even though I initially ran out of steam after the weather turned sunny again.

He looks so different with the big eyes, short spiky hair and baby fat on his face ^^ [J: It's not baby fat! I'm not a baby!!"] I'm feeling very tempted to try drawing chibi!Michael as well some day. We'll see.

Right, work now *nods*

Belated birthday present for the lovely sidh.

Always fun to try new fandoms ^^



Demons of the Shinsengumi? by =HiddenGems on deviantART

Ha, I should just learn that telling myself that I don't have time to finish a picture doesn't work because I always end up finding time here and there anyway (gosh if only the same thing worked for everything else...)

So anyway, here she is, because she wouldn't leave me alone.

And yes, I had to pick that particular scene T_____T



One Last Time by =HiddenGems on deviantART

*cuddles M madly, while J watches from a corner and growls*

I'm so happy he's finally letting me draw him!! With the last few pieces I've tried to go for a slightly less molestable look while still retaining all the cuteness that J likes, and I'm very pleased with the outcome.



Shine by =HiddenGems on deviantART

Blame lotus_seed, thenakedcat and the saddest RP log in the world for this ;_____;

I actually started doodling this a while ago and abandoned it because his hair looked rubbish, but after seeing that ponytail!Ukitake is actually canon thanks to the recent chapters I decided to give the sketch another go and... tadaaa...

Gosh, the song is going round and round again *teary sigh*



I Will Follow You... by =HiddenGems on deviantART


Will be X-posted like whoa.

Finally managed to seriously work on this during the weekend, after editing the screwed-up lineart and thankfully not ruining the rest. Requested by NamiAne from dA after she caught the last kiriban in October.

I have no excuse for taking so long, but it's a little bit fitting after the latest chapter ^^



All Dressed Up by =HiddenGems on deviantART


Will be X-posted. Sorry for the spam.

Finished this last night in order to unwind -- while listening to classical music at an obscenely loud level in my headphones.

I have... no excuse for this, really. The obvious fanservice is so... well, obvious, that I'm partially ashamed of it. Only not, because it's Josh and I can never be truly ashamed of anything he does. Because yes, of course, this was his idea, not mine XD



Music by =HiddenGems on deviantART

I seem to be in a "couple mood" right now so I thought maybe I could try to finish this sketch, started I-don't-want-to-know-how-many-months ago. I've wanted to draw this pretty much ever since I got into the fandom, and now I finally have my happy!Yuki!!

laurabryannan, BaU was more than helpful! I'm going to read the last few parts in one go now <3



Back Then... by =HiddenGems on deviantART

Done!! ^^



Something I Wanted To Try by =HiddenGems on deviantART


X-posted to la_bellaragazza

Been working hard for the past two days (no complaining whatsoever because it means monies) but tonight I wanted to spend a little time on something I'd started on Sunday. And I thought I'd post the WIP before I go and crash in bed since I don't know when I'll finish it.

For ladyclodia especially. I know it won't actually make anything better, but a bit of Twilight never hurts, right?


( ♥ EdwardxBella Rabu rabu ♥ )

Say hello to gallo_de_pelea's Amal again. I really hope I've done him justice this time, even though I made him look depressed as well. Probably takes place at the very beginning of the story (I was so very tempted to name it "I fucked it all up", but err, didn't seem quite right ^^;) Also, I love making him wear green. Goes so well with his skin, methinks.



Urgh... by =HiddenGems on deviantART

My beloved Edward and Bella, because it's been way too long.

I suddenly fancied drawing them yesterday morning, and that put me in the mood to start reading Twilight again. I should remember to read that book if I ever need a bit of cheering up -- I was smiling and sighing like an idiot last night ^^

Also, yet another proof that I cannot leave textures and gradients alone XD



Too Good To Last by =HiddenGems on deviantART


X-posted to la_bellaragazza

Again, this is Something I Shouldn't Have Done!! XD

I can't tell you anything about this guy except that his name is Matt(hieu) and that he's part of the whole JxM story but he won't appear for a looooong time so what the hell am I doing drawing him?? Aaaaand I'll stop typing and take myself to bed before I say something spoilery.



A Smile A Day by =HiddenGems on deviantART

This time, it's with lightseeker_81.

Again, I've had a blast working on this, and I've been much quicker than expected (probably partially due to the fact that I was waiting for work that never came and so had to keep my mind busy...)

Meet Cadeyrn El-dar-In, the main character of her story 'Battle King', which takes place around 10,000 years ago and about a decade after the continent of Atlantis sank to the bottom of the ocean. Go look around her journal if you want to know more (and I strongly advise you to).



Nights Are So Unkind by =HiddenGems on deviantART

gallo_de_pelea's TJ, for whom my love keeps on growing with every single strip and sketch she posts. I butchered him like whoa on that first picture I did for our art trade so I needed to make it up to him. I hope that does the trick.

Gallo, you have no idea how many times Pride, Good Bye Forever, Pressure Suit and Grace Under Pressure played in repeat mode while I was working on this ^^



Not Ready To Love by =HiddenGems on deviantART

Still can't write, but at least he's letting me draw him.

Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk is his song, as far as I'm concerned <3



Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk by =HiddenGems on deviantART

Sorry for the spam, but finishing yesterday's piece made me want to finish this one as well. Again, I didn't draw this, I just coloured it.
