Art: Persistence (Rogues Big Bang)

[kidezt]

This is the art collection for defying3reason's roguesbang 2013 fic, "Persistence".

I had more fun than I expected making art for this fic! Defying's story was a joy to read from start till end, I only regret not having enough time to draw more. She's been a great sport and it was a pleasure to work with her. I hope you enjoy!

Lick to fic: AO3






There's a slight style jump here partly because of the time gap of which I drew both these pieces. The previous one was initially done as a rough sketch and I decided to complete it when I realised I rather liked it. I'm not sure I did the scene for the second piece justice. I struggled quite a bit with it. *laughs*


Drop that towel, Piper!

Excerpt from the fic:

“Fuck it.” Mark crossed the room in three long strides, grabbed Piper by the waist, and pulled him into a heated kiss. He kept his strong, lean hands pressed tight around Hartley’s hips while he claimed his mouth with bruising force.

Piper planted his hands on Mark’s chest, initially intending to push the guy away, but unable to follow through with it. He didn’t so much return the kiss as allow Mark to kiss him, but that was apparently enough for the other super criminal (and it still felt amazing to Piper).

Argh, I feel like I was a pain in the ass to work with! I was slow to respond, missed things, and then you had to do the final post because I couldn't figure it out.

You, on the other hand, were nothing short of glorious. It makes me ridiculously happy to see the fic illustrated. I love the body language you gave the guys. You just did such a fantastic job capturing their personalities. Thank you times a million <3

No worries. You were great, and I didn't mind!

Thank you very much, defy! It was good fun drawing them. :D

these are two of my favorite characters and i think you've portrayed them beautifully. the first one matched the story amazingly well, and the second, well I'd still be staring at it if i wasn't at work.

Thank you, velocity! I'm glad you think so, which means I've done my job. :D

I admit Mark isn't one of my favourite characters, but he's definitely one of my favourites to draw! There's something about him that's just so fun to put in art.
