that damned elusive megaloo

It's gotten redundant at this point to point out that Tumblr has stolen away my LJ existence, but let's get it out of the way anyways. Good? Very well, let's move on.

Here's a big 'ol art dump that consists of "best of the fan art Meghan did last year but has only posted on Tumblr or DeviantArt". Or at least the stuff I liked the most from that time. ( For a second there, I thought that I forgot the coding for lj cuts. Whew. )

For our Youth Literacy class, we presented a group project on graphic novels. We worked in "reading circles", in which each person got a job assignment such as leader, connector, illustrator, vocabulary...er. I got to be the illustrator.

Our group's graphic novel was the first printed volume of Bayou, which is an online comic by Jeremy Love and Patrick Morgan. It's got a strong female protagonist, Lee, living in post-Civil War, pre-civil rights Mississippi. Her white best friend, Lily, gets kidnapped by a monster in the bayou, Cotton-Eyed Joe. Lee's father ends up getting blamed for Lily's disappearance. To save him from lynching, Lee must find Lily with the help of the other swamp monster, the kind Bayou. It deals with race, love and hatred, and Deep South folklore. It's extremely well done and I mean to finish it once school finishes.

( Here's the illustration I did! )

I've been seeing quite a few people doing hourly comics lately, so I tried my hand at it to practice drawing daily more. I was also able to do it since it was a day off-- at work I have no time to do this stuff. (PS. That's grad school class I was attending in the evening.)

( Odd comics! )

Work is boring as hell today, so here's some art I scanned but didn't get around to posting yet. ( And yes, it's all Merlin fanart. I'm addicted to it still. )

I actually drew Tin Man fanart. Glitch/Cain, to be precise.

Yeeeah. Someone stop me, please...

( So... sweetheart? ) Also posted on DeviantArt.

Katie demands Deathly Hallows art, and thus I must obey.

( My new pocket/purse-sized sketch book all these are scanned from. )

( One Doctor Who sketch. )

( Deathly Hallows sketches. WARNING: SPOILERS! )

This is fanart for sheafrotherdon's latest Farm in Iowa story Sunday Morning. Her writing always paints a picture in my mind and I wanted to try to envision some of it on paper. :)

Medium: Pencil
Rating: Uh, PG for McShep hand holding?

( 'Daylight saving blows,' Rodney mumbles. )

Also, I recently did some Teyla line art over at fandom_in_color. It's a fairly new community and could use some more members if anyone's interested.
