Warnings: None

My art for brihana25's action story, Towering Inferno.


This is my first big bang and my first foray into larger format art. o.o I am quite happy to flee back to the comfort of my tiny squares after this. :D

Many thanks to brihana25 who provided me with an action-packed story as inspiration for the art and who has been very supportive. I was nervous about trying something new and she has been extremely positive. Thank you!



That's the building they used for the exterior shots of Vogel Towers in the show. That took me a bit of sleuthing as most Dark Angel fan sites have gone offline. Yay for benign neglect and legacy discussion boards! \o/









If you haven't read the story yet, head here (at a link that I will update when it's posted) and settle in for an evening's read. Sorry to post before the story is up but it's past my bedtime. I'll update with the link in the morning!

I've never seen Dark Angel so the fic would be lost on me but I love the effects you've used in the art (and Jensen's awesome bitchface)

A+ work bb! And I hope it's not your last attempt at larger pieces. I'll get you arting (totally a word) for DCBB next year just you wait and see!

And ONLY!

You haven't met the gloriousness that is Jensen as Alec??? We have failed you, bb. We must schedule a group watch ASAP and show you what you've been missing. Your fangirl life isn't complete without having experienced Jensen as Alec.

Unlike SPN, Dark Angel knew how to capitalize on its pretty cast. Alec introduces himself by taking off his shirt and then continue to get shirtless on a regular basis. If only SPN would just get Dean (and Sam! and Castiel!) down to one shirt, I'd be a happy fan.

DCBB next year

I hear what you're saying but your words have no meaning to me. ;)

I've been terrible in not commenting on these here, even though you know what I think. The whole world needs to hear it, too.

These are awesome. Beyond awesome. Absolutely and amazingly perfect is what they are. The expressions on their faces are just perfect, and I can't even get over the fact that you burnt Fogle Towers down. The colors are amazing, and the font... I love old pulp fiction-y feeling fonts like those. It's just like how I'd imagine the poster for the movie I stole the name from looking. :D

So, to wrap up: these are awesome. You are awesome. And I'm a big steaming pile of fail. BUT. I will fix that.

THANK YOU!!!!! \o/
