Fic Art: Oh, My Queen!

[livejournal.com profile] cherie_morte is an evil, evil human being, because she wrote this amazing fic called Oh, My Queen! and then had the fucking audacity to end it at only 32k. But it's okay! I'm going to bribe her to write more and more and more with all the art she never wanted. She will eventually start writing timestamps just to make me stop fucking drawing shit.

It's an amazing fic, and it's non-AU J2 future-fic, and I really hope you do not let that scare you away, because I need everybody on the internet to read it. [livejournal.com profile] cherie_morte is so awesome for letting me make art for her fic, and a way with words that genuinely makes me wonder why I even bother to attempt to write things.

I usually save thank you posts for my fics, but there is a list of people without whom this art would be a red-hot mess of fail. [livejournal.com profile] ordinaryink is the best helper monkey on the planet, especially if you ever need her to pose for anything, even a 6'4" man. Especially a 6'4" man. [livejournal.com profile] sistabro, [livejournal.com profile] unavoidedcrisis, [livejournal.com profile] road_rhythm, and [livejournal.com profile] wutendeskind have all been completely invaluable art betas as well, and are the reason this is not a mess of muddled fail.





This, ladies and gentlemen, is Anita Mann. She is fabulous and amazing and you should worship at her fucking gorgeous gams. Be warned that clicking on that will take you to a version that is 1500x2472.


The fic banner was something I thought would take just a few minutes to do. I have absolutely no concept of time. This was inspired by Leland Bobbé's photo series, located here.


This is the large-scale, pre-banner piece.


I also made a boa for the divider (all [livejournal.com profile] cherie_morte's idea, and somehow both so much harder and easier to draw than I anticipated).


And icons!
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Hurry up, leave me a comment, and then go read this fic right the fuck now.

OMGGG THIS IS MORE AMAZING THAN I EVER IMAGINED *_____*

THE SPARKLY HEELS, ALL THE RAINBOW, THE HAIR THAT IS EVEN MORE CRAZY THAN JARED'S USUAL. That boa is pretty awesome too. I just want to *hearts* and *sparkles* all over this art <3

ISN'T IT JUST SO JARED? I give every last bit of the credit to [livejournal.com profile] cherie_morte, because she had the perfect image in her head of exactly what Anita looked like and wore.

Really awesome art work.

That 1/2 girl/guy Jared face is just perfect.

Your colors are gorgeous!!

You made drag queen Jared spectacular!

OH MY GOD! It's FABULOUS! :D

I freaking love Jared in drag...just the very idea does funny things to my loins.

Thank you so much for sharing and making such awesome art for the fic <3

<33333333333 It is still amazing and fabulous and now that I've read Anita, you captured her PERFECTLY. Also I've never been an art beta before *beams* Glad my I could help <3

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2012-12-01 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You are SO GOOD at being an art beta, dude. You don't let me slack off, even if it's late and I'm cranky and tired, and that makes my art better!

FABULOUS DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO COVER THE AMAZINGNESS THAT IS ANITA MANN <333

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2012-12-01 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
NO IT DOES NOT. THERE ARE NO WORDS IN ANY MERE EARTH LANGUAGE THAT CAN CAPTURE EVERYTHING SHE IS. <3333333333

[identity profile] cherie-morte.livejournal.com 2012-11-14 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Cleeeeeeeeeeeex. I feel like I don't even have words. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO HAVE WORDS. I just...I feel like you were there for every minute of this, from the night I was all "LOLOL, I'm gonna make Jared a drag queen right quick" to my freaking out about not getting claimed to the last week of writing where I wasn't even on my period but I couldn't stop crying over this fic. So, it's almost like WHAT DO I HAVE LEFT TO SAY TO YOU? You got it, Clex. You really fucking got it and this story meant so much to me and it was so fucking amazing to have an artist who just so completely understood why it was important to me and went along and encouraged my crazy and had so much enthusiasm for what we were working on. It was also nice to have someone else in chat give a fuck when I couldn't stop talking about Anita. So. I was really excited when you asked to claim me, but even more excited when I started seeing how excited you were, and then kind of went off the deep end with excitement when I started to actually see the art you were producing.

BECAUSE CLEX. ANITA. CLEX. YOU. JUST. THAT'S HER. THAT IS WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE AND SHE IS SO FUCKING HOT AND FABULOUS AND LARGER THAN LIFE AND *HOT*. I was worried it would be hard in art to find a way to put Jared in drag and have it look good but still look like Jared, also. BUT JFC. THERE SHE IS. I loved the, like, two full days we all spent in chat collectively brainstorming on what other ridiculous things we could add to her to make the clutter effect take over and just yes. Every single thing on her, I know you put so much thought into it and I know she would so completely have on in real life. And she's just so hot. Like, I don't even know what else to say here. That bitch is fucking steamy. LOOK AT HER HAIR. AND HER LEGS. AND HER FAAAAACCEEEE WHICH IS ALSO JARED'S FAAAACEEEE. AND HER LEGS. JFC. She is just perfect. I can't imagine her more perfect. No one could have done her better. SHE IS EVERYTHING I WANTED HER TO BE AND MORE, AND SHE SHOULD BE WORSHIPED, ESPECIALLY HER GAMS, IT'S TRUE.

I love love love the banner. I never even thought you were going to do anythign like that when I linked you to those photos. I was just like, "Hey, let's be excited over drag queens some more!" BUT YET IT FEELS LIKE I HAD A SECRET EVIL PLAN AND IT WORKED. Such a perfect way to wrap up the fic and sell it in one image. And then the font just looks so goddamn perfect. I was, like, seal clapping at work when you sent it to me, no joke. It solved all the problems and then some and also SPARKLES.

Likelikelike. Okay. I know I must have been horribly obnoxious to work with throughout this because I was so insistent and pushy and constantly wanting to see things and telling you what I didn't like and how to fic it but that is only because this was my BABY and I wanted it perfect and you gaaave that to meee. You gave me perfect art for my bbaaaabbbyyy. I just don't even know what to do with all my thankfulness, so I will shove it at you. HERE. HAVE SOME APPRECIATION. *shoves*

[identity profile] queerly-it-is.livejournal.com 2012-11-14 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
EEEEEEEEEEE SO PERFECT AND 100000% BETTER THAN MY IMAGINATION COULD'VE PROVIDED FOR AND ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, SERIOUSLY.

THIS IS THE FABULOUS THAT ALL FABULOUS ASPIRES TO BE. FABULOUS COULD TAKE LESSONS.

I LOVE how you didn't cheat at all. That...looks exactly like Jared in drag! What fun!

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2012-12-01 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That was SO the hardest part! It would've been so easy to just draw a girl and then put muscles on her, but the real challenge was making it actually look like it was Jared I was drawing.

CLEX

ANITA IS SINCERELY THE MOST FABULOUS CREATION. GAH. She just looks so fucking good and I'm so happy I was there to witness the making of her and pose with that stupid fucking boa. To which, I'm still finding feathers all over my room tbh. BUT THIS LOOKS AWESOME AND YAY! YOU GUYS DID IT! <333333

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2012-12-01 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
TRACEY

YOU ARE SUCH AN AMAZING JARED, BB. ANITA'S BOA WOULD BE A RED-HOT MESS WITHOUT YOUR HELP, BB! <3333333333333333333333333333333

[identity profile] scarletscarlet.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Fabulous somehow seems like the most appropriate word. Because this really is! I really liked the split banner, but your drawing of Anita is awesome. Sparkly, larger-than-life, and drop dead gorgeous :).

[identity profile] clex_monkie89.livejournal.com 2012-12-01 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! It's hilarious, because they both seemed like they would be SO EASY in my head. And then I started doing them and my brain twitched out. :P

[identity profile] deadflowers5.livejournal.com 2012-11-21 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I love your art! I think you nailed Jared Anitaness! Without a context, I could recognise him... her... you know! :-)

That is SUCH a compliment! Especially on a drawing!

This is awesome! Just read the fic and the first timestamp. And this art was one (very big one) reason I started reading the fic. Just saw the banner first, LOVE IT!!!!! And just now (back on my PC instead of my small tablet) found all the other GORGEOUS art! Your talent is AWESOME!! I just wish I could do this, or write such an amazing story! But alas, I have to stay as a humble beta-reader... :(

Anyhow: LOVED this!

Never underestimate a beta reader, I've seen what my fic looks like before my betas get a hold of it.

And I'm so glad that my art helped influence you to read this verse, because Jay needs absolutely EVERYONE to love her. She deserves no less.

These are fabulous. And just perfect for the fic. *hug*
