Art: Suspended in Space (PG)

[pink_mint]

Title: Suspended in Space
Characters: Harry/Draco
Rating: PG
Created with: Painter X
Warnings: crack!art, surrealism, Eggplant!Draco and Tomato!Harry, slight creep factor
Notes: This is fanart for potteresque_ire's awesome fic, Eggplant Parmesan. Thank you, marguerite_26, for the reassurance! Additional notes below.

Additional notes: I read Eggplant Parmesan two nights ago, and I'm just a bit in love with it. I've never read anything like it. And I really, really wanted to paint veggie!H/D.

I took a break from my current project and painted this in a whirlwind yesterday. I love surrealism but haven't ever done anything truly surreal (it's always been more traditional), so this was a lot of fun. But by the time I finished it and took a good look at it, I wasn't so sure it should have been done! I wrote marguerite_26:

You see, unlike the fanart that red_rahl did, which was adorable, this is
just sort of creepy. And it was meant to be, being surrealism and all. But still.
Should I post it? Do you think she'll like it? Should I dispose of it??? LOL.

She said I should post it, the dear.

potteresque_ire, this is for you! I hope you like it! ♥

Yes, I'm glad you posted it! *pets the poor veges*

[mystressxoxo.livejournal.com]

OH!! I LOVE that fic, and this is SO cute! *giggles for even saying that veggies are cute* xD ... ... It's SO CUTE!! *dies* =^;^=

That is so cute! I usually hate tomatoes and aubergines, but I'll make an exception for these two *g*

You are fabulous *squishes*

I think it's wonderful and the slightly creepy part for me is the way the eyes seem to give the entire vegetable personality. Brings new meaning to still-life since there does seem to be life in the vegetables!! Thank you so much for shaing..

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

LOL! Tell me about it! The poor, poor vegetables.

*hugs* I still owe you an email! I'll be writing back within a day or two, but let me just say that I'm excited. :D

*LOVES*

My dear. *gives you a stern look* No more of this wibbling about posting. You are VERY TALENTED and we will all ALWAYS be happy to see your work. And potteresque_ire is the sweetest person ever and would only ever be flattered to death to have tribute art. So, no more worrying or self-doubt.

Honestly. If you weren't so adorable, I'd have to smack you. ;)

;) Glad I'm not being disowned! ♥

[jtsbbsps-dk.livejournal.com]

Omg, that is so AWESOME! XD

Beautiful in the creepy way, but that just makes it cooler! I'm glad you posted it!

Ps: I get curious looking at your signature - is your real name Julie? ^_^

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

They definitely need to be petted, the poor darlings!!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

I know, that fic is just too cool, right?? :D

I'm glad you think they're cute!! Thank you!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you, hon! *g* These two are always the exception, aren't they? I'm not a fan of red and purple together, but they make it work. ;)

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

That does bring new meaning to still-life!! They do give the whole vegetable personality - it's rather bizarre! Thank you, I'm so delighted you liked this.

[stellamoon.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaa! That's adorable. It's not creepy at all. It is kinda funny, though. (those eyes, my goodness!!!)

And the moral of the story is................
Always listen to Maggie!

[noeon.livejournal.com]

Oh how funny. It's adorable. And oddly fitting. Yes. H/D vegetable love. (Our vegetable love should grow/ Vaster than empires and more slow)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

SQUEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

You posted it!!!!!!!

I adore how Draco looks kind of laissez-fair, like I'll just lay here and look gorgeous, ok?

[leo-draconis.livejournal.com]

Haha, I totally love it!!!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

*YAY* :D

Yes, alright, no more wibbling! I agree, and I'd smack myself too, lol! I'll try to stop being mental. Thanks for the admonishment, sweetheart.

Sorry I haven't written you back yet!! I love the ideas and will be writing back sooooon.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you! LOL that's just what I was going for actually - beautiful in a creepy way. :D

You know, a little while after I signed it, I looked at it and thought it looked like Julie. It's meant to be a scrawling of my pen name, Jacqueline. ;)

[bryoneybrynn.livejournal.com]

lol Don't worry. I wibble too, despite many admonishments from my f-list. We're always our own worst critics, yes? But that's why you need us f-listers to call you on it! *g*

And take your time. Like I said, I don't have much cash for another month or so, so there's no rush. And I imagine it's tough to figure out what to charge etc when you haven't done it before. You think it over - I'll definitely still be here! lol

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darling! I know, the eyes, right?? I must admit, they creep me out a wee bit. ;)

Exactly! Maggie is the best. And I was going to write but since I have you here, thank you so much for the offer to help or give an artist's opinion if I need one. I really appreciate it!

Also, I'd love to do the same for you. pink_mint@ymail.com is my email, if you'd ever like help from me! :)

[niennas-gift.livejournal.com]

Perfect! I love it.

[amycoolz.livejournal.com]

lol I dunno why, but the looks on their "faces" just scream "I will kill you..."

This is awesome, though! Now I'm gonna have to go check out that story... =D
