Daily Doodle: This is at [personal profile] renay's request, as a pick-me-up after Black Friday. Congrats on surviving! ♥ And to everyone else in retail — congrats! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] first_seventhe and [livejournal.com profile] owlmoose for advice and quick once-over =)

Uhhh I don't actually have much to say. If you have no idea why Vaan/Gabranth of all things, the pairings comes from a story I wrote for [livejournal.com profile] ff_exchange, These Unending Alchemies of Honour.

Also, Noah's leathers can go die in a fire.

I think I'm due for some goats soon, though, I can't keep drawing big things every day XD

@[livejournal.com profile] ff_press: [FFXII:OGC] [livejournal.com profile] justira: Gabranth/Vaan doodle (Gabranth/Vaan) (PG)

Daily Doodle: Man guys. This thing was NOT cooperating. I still don't like it but I am so done with trying to be creative today! Bad mood — unhappy with words, unhappy with arts, still utterly exhausted from this whole damn week.

This actually started out as just trying to get a handle on Noah, and then Vaan kind of happened. I'm a little distressed, because I keep thinking he can be mistaken for Balthier. His features aren't Balthier's at all (Balthier is way sharper), and I checked and checked my references and I'm pretty sure he's... fairly on-model. Fairly. I can't get his hair right. But true story, Balthier/Vaan is a pairing that, uh, more than four people have heard of, and Noah/Vaan isn't? XD (I love Balthier/Vaan, though, maybe I should draw them too just for contrast — see, see, THIS is what Balthier looks like when I draw him!)

Anyway. I just had a hard time today; I'm sorry if this is not awesome =|

Time: I don't even know, really off and on. Call it 40-50 mins?

Daily Doodle: Noah/Vaan from FFXII )

Daily Word Count: 380
Title: These Unending Alchemies of Honour
Fandom(s): FFXII:OGC
Characters/Pairings: Vaan/Gabranth, Basch, Larsa, Penelo
Rating: PG13
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers through the end of the game. Full disclosure: canonically, Vaan is 17 and Gabranth is 36 so. Uh. Yeah. Pedobear seal of approval.

Feedback: Holy sweet jesus, yes please. For anyone who wants to give me some serious crit, I've put together some notes/concerns at the very end of the story.
Word Count: 38,500 WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

Summary: Gabranth lives, and there is nothing simple about it— not for him, nor Basch, and most especially not Vaan.

Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] ff_exchange as a backup gift for [livejournal.com profile] chaosraven/[personal profile] chaosraven's prompt Vaan/Gabranth. Post-game, Gabranth lives to tell the tale and Vaan is stuck with conflicting feelings.

OKAY UH. I have a lot of people to thank here, and also a few notes on canon, not to mention my crit notes.

A huge thanks to [livejournal.com profile] first_seventhe/[personal profile] seventhe for the gamma read, the beta read, the cheerleading. This story could not have happened with you and your awesome suggestions. Another huge thanks to [livejournal.com profile] bottle_of_shine/[personal profile] renay, for beta reading, putting up with my woe and whining, and staving off my panic attacks for the past week. Thanks also go to [livejournal.com profile] lassarina/[personal profile] lassarina for help in the early stages of plotting and also for listening to my endless moaning. Finally, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] mithrigil/[personal profile] mithrigil for the advice on language; though I didn't have time to ask for a full language beta, the advice you gave me was very helpful.
