Me (and my doodles) can be found on tumblr at andreannaness <3

I was clicking through all my old journal entries and it's just so amazing what I did and did not capture here, online. LJ brought me fandom and community and so much encouragement to pursue the things I love. I am so thankful for every single person that I met and that I reached. Much love~

I miss you LJ!

Darn you RL and your incredible business D:

And ready to draw some HP fanarty-goodness :D
If any of you are around, feel free to find me and request something <3

Boston Marathon

2013-04-15T20:53:30Z

To my fandom friends - I'm fine! I've never felt to lucky to be so lazy.

I hope all of you in the Boston area are safe and sound too <3

Once Upon a Time has eaten my brain ;o;

2013-03-09T20:47:54Z

I am like a voracious fanfiction eating machine when it comes to this pairing.

I hadn't really looked much at the actress who plays Belle until a couple of days ago. So these are much more concept!Belle

This is a little bit more based off thestraggletag's Starbucks Series. I like to think about Belle's fancy dress. Though, this one wasn't that fancy XD

And one Rumpelstiltkskin :)

Oh yeah! And I got into Dental Hygiene school, so NEW CAREER HO!

Snarry BigBang!! Also, a surprise

2013-01-18T03:07:39Z

I loved participating in the Big Bang Challenges of yesteryear and was very excited to see one for my beloved OTP. I had the great pleasure of illustrating for not one but two beautiful Severus/Harry Big Bang stories! In both cases I had SO MANY IDEAS and SO LITTLE TIME! Reposted arts here <3

asecretchord's epic length mpreg Birth of a Dancing Star, which, in spite of its dubious title, I found quite lovely and romantic (and also chock full of plot!).

"Suddenly, the only voices in the Hall were his, Snape's, Flitwick's and Sprout's. They finished the charm, ending with a sharp flourish of wands. A bead of golden light spread from the anchor points and ran around the edges of the ceiling until they connected. Blue sky dotted with clouds soared overhead and a hush filled the room. Everyone held their breath until the four of them lowered their wands, then exhaled collectively under the shimmering summer sky. They had done it."

I really liked attempting a more modern design :)

And gin_tonic's fun Elementary Rituals, which I was attracted to from the get go. I'm such a sucker for patientlycourting!Harry XD

lol sketch
"The straw poked at Harry's back, but he didn't care. Severus' prick pressed against his leg and all he could think about was how much he wanted it in him. How much he just wanted. "

I love coloring skin *g*

--------------------
In other news: I have been following Once Upon A Time since it's premier, but I never thought to join it's fandom. But that RUMBELL ATE ME BRAIN! I am slowly working my way through Nym's A Bed of Thorns. Is anyone else on my flist into OUAT? I think this is my first canon, nonslash pairing. I feel oddly non-perverse :O

2013

2013-01-04T02:13:29Z

2012 was a rocky year of ups and downs. I'm hoping this year will be better for several reasons.

1) That wonderful ex-boyfriend is once again my boyfriend and we're making a very serious go of it. I adore him. He's seriously my rock and I want us to be there for each other for years to come.

2) While it is likely not my passion, I am applying for dental hygiene schools. This is a job I can find work in all over the country, and if it damn doesn't pay pretty nice.

3)I want to have more me focused goals. I've really stopped prioritizing myself and that's not going to be the path to happiness.

With that in mind some New Year's Resolutions:
-Work out more regularly
-Expand my cooking horizons
-DRAW MOAR
-Participate in fandom again, I seriously fucking miss you guys.
-Be more cognizant of my emotional baggage and have the courage to confront it.

So that was mostly for me, but I have art for you!

Mermaid in progress

Me and my man, chibied :)

Happy New Year everyone! And hopefully, I'll be seeing more of you <3

Sad

2012-08-03T23:48:59Z

I just broke up with my boyfriend. I adore him; he's a wonderful man and has been so kind to me, but we see things so differently. I put forth so much effort, but every step of the way my gut fought me. I keep waking up in the morning and my first thought is about how it's just not working out. And how frustrated I am that I've tried so hard and it feels like I haven't gotten anywhere. And how shitty I feel about myself when I'm with him. I feel sad. He's amazing, but we both deserve someone better matched.

Doodle

2012-06-22T03:18:32Z

Oh hai!

This is my first digital painting in forever XD
I like how the colors came out!

<3
Snarry doodles to come :D

ART DUMP!

2012-06-03T02:29:56Z

Like the title says! It's mostly sketches I've had laying around, or that were for brainstorming one fest or another.

I very much like how their faces turned out. Their bodies, however, could use some work...

It's a Weasley baby :D!

I like it better without Snape, but I like the idea of putting Harry in robes rather than ze Muggle clothing.

----------

Prim doodle, a la the reaping. I have to reread the third book before I can do any fanart of her from that time. Also, HOW GOOD WAS THE MOVIE?!

---------

This kinda ended up looking a little like me...but you know...if I dressed completely differently. But that is totally my current haircut. And I am super-busty XD

This is a character I made up with my best friend in middle and high school. It's andreanna, which my penname was taken from ^_^

I know I rarely post, so thank you for dropping by!

Painting :)

2012-03-25T01:07:21Z

Hi flist!

I bring a little bit of original art :)

I just wanted to do something romantic and feminine. I'm not sure if I'm going to add any more details or not. I really like the color transitions in the background and the hair. Not too bad for my fourth painting :D

And in other news, I bought my registration for lubricus! I AM SO FLIPPING EXCITED!!! Are you of you going? Do any of your need roommates???

oh hai!

2012-03-01T03:30:02Z

Long time no see!

I have a little bit 'o art to share :D

This was the original sketch. It was a gift for my landlady. Who is just about the sweetest lady ever.

I got really into painting around Christmas times. I'm so excited by how well this one turned out! Color transitions and everything!

Also, I may or may not have gotten into knitting >_>

Also, I know you all want my kitten calendar
<333

so um, Art Posting

2011-12-15T02:42:39Z

It was my best friend somniumquiescos birthday last week, so to honor her fabulous cosplay loves, I made a paper doll of her and her most frequent cosplays!

It's been forever and a half since I touched my tablet, but it was so much fun!!

Does anyone know how to make those clothe-this-doll applets????
Enjoy!

ARTTTTT! HP and original

2011-08-09T18:51:22Z

Please excuse the photo. I tried to scan it but, alas, it wouldn't pick up most of the color D: Maybe it's time for a new scanner.

I really liked working on both of these! I've been feeling pretty down the last several months, but it really really refreshing and uplifting to draw these. Though, I probably got carried away with all the colors!

Thank you for looking <3
Comments are love

A Song of Ice and Fire- Arya fanart

2011-07-01T23:19:00Z

It's been forever since I touched my tablet, so this was a test sketch in PaintTool SAI >_<

Arya's Prayers

No much of a spoiler, but I like to think of her on some floor in Harrenhal muttering all those names to bed. Hope to redo someday with nicer textures :)

<3

Also, does anyone know any good fan groups? I'm in the midst of the fourth book and will finally be caught up with canon (that is until the 5th comes out XD)

2011-06-27T03:02:15Z

It's been forever since I stopped in. I really do miss fandom and the sense of community I had. I miss my fanartists! But nowadays I don't even spend an hour online. I can't remember the last time I read fic. It's bizarre how much has changed in the last year.

I just wanted to pop in an unload a little HP art I've had kicking around the hard drive :)

Here's part of a meme I never got around to finishing. It's Nyu's HP meme, which you can find here.

I must have started this last August or so. It was super fun to work, though I was never sure if it was actually funny or not :-\

This one is really recent. I love the chibi! But the middle Harry looks faintly retarded *head shake*

I really ought to join some sort of daily meme to jump-start my arts :D
Anyone have any recommendations? I could always try that LJ interests meme from many a year ago. That one was always so cute XD

Hi guys!

2011-04-15T00:42:41Z

Hello everyone! I'm not dead! Isn't that exciting?

Indeed, instead I bring you art!!

Trained a girl yesterday at work, turns out she's into HP role playing. HUZZAH!
Now to figure out what kind of shipping she does *scheming*

I love the dorky, fantastic people this job attracts :D

2010-09-22T07:19:03Z

Me: "I think I'm gonna go out and buy a dildo. McGill recommended the Bunny".
Brendan: "Oh yeah, sure. You wait until after we break up to buy one. If I was a woman I'd get a Bunny. It's definitely the superior choice."

I think Brendan and I are gonna be just fine.

status update, and ART :D

2010-09-20T02:42:33Z

Brendan finally came home yesterday after staying at his friends' places. I miss him. But I have to remember to give him space. I find myself asking him stuff and trying to converse like nothing's happened ;___; Keep this up and I'll accidentally push him away.

In other news, got a new phone and was even able to keep my number, hurray!
I'm ready for this week to be over.
--------------------------

Arttttttttt

A little Mockingjay!Gale. Though, I'm pretty awful at designing jumpsuits. He does look appropriately annoyed :)

Katniss hunting (and likely listening to Gale rant about the Capitol)

Gah! I love Prim. I just wanna make her a pretty pretty princess. I'll have to research cats so I can draw her with Buttercup.

My first Haymitch! He looks a little too young, and not nearly chubby or ruddy enough. But he's a work in progress. I like the idea of him having huge ears XD

Enjoy!

andreanna @ 2010-09-18T23:44:00

2010-09-19T03:44:41Z

Wow. I'm really having the worst fucking week ever.
First I broke up with my boyfriend of 3+ yrs, who I live with and share a lease with.
And then, I went to work where my phone, cash out of my wallet, and my DS (and games! and headphones) were stolen right out of my purse.

These things come in threes; I hope this is the final continuation from the crazy roommate business, and I'm done with all the suck for this year.

andreanna @ 2010-09-16T05:19:00

2010-09-16T09:19:15Z

Just broke up with my boyfriend. The next few months are gonna really blow, but right now all I feel is relief. I'm just worried about logistics. Hopefully we'll be able to live as roommates.

Dragon*Con and THG fanart

2010-09-14T17:43:03Z

So yeah, my visit home was pretty nice. I really had missed my parents. It was also fabulous to be super-duper lazy for days :)

Dragon*Con was pretty cool. I think I enjoyed it more when I had the purchasing power to bring stuff home. I can't rationalize getting a $200+ corset, no matter how flattering it may have been (mannnnn I wish I had a picture, this thing was ridiculous. Also, also holy god! So Much SteamPunk!

Highlights
True Blood Panel: OMG! Pam's actress is so adorable! She got all teary-eyed talking about how Alexander Skarsgard (Eric) plays a paternal character. Also! Lafayette's actor is so shy and quiet; I was so surprised. Maryann's actress and Sam's actor (haha, also Sam) talked about how awesome it was to be a badass. The panel had a really wonderful dynamic :)

Avery Brooks: (who played Captain Sisko in ST:DS9) He was really interesting. A totally different sort of actor. It was unexpected, but also lovely. I also think I spotted mijan asking a question :D

Stargate: Christopher Judge is such a pervert; I adore him. Also, there may have been swashbuckling. Also, also, did you know that RDA did a series of commercials for Zaxby's Chicken? OMGWTF SO BAD

Battlestar Galactica: I've never seen such a serious panel of actors. They were all so thoughtful and careful in their responses. I wonder if there's a correlation between how seriousbusiness your show is to how seriousbusiness the actors are. Also, while waiting in line I met the lovely brokenmnemonic and friends who had come all the way from the UK!

Star Trek Miss Universe Pageant: OMFG, HOW I DID I ALMOST FORGET THIS! It was SO FUNNYYYYY! Having expanded from the Klingon only pageant of years before, an Orion Slave girl (who was painted green everywhere) won. I was rooting to the Borg chick though, she danced to All the Single Ladies with the Klingon co-hosts.

The Hunger Games: They actually had a panel on the YA track! It was more of a guided discussion of people's reactions, but still, excitement! There was a really good turn out! (also a badass Mockingjay!Katniss cosplay, which she must have banged out in a couple days). I was a little bummed that the discussion was restricted to the first book, but still! Hopefully, there will be more panels in the future! Got my doodling going!

I like to think of this as the scene on the roof, Peeta speaking with conviction.

Inspired by wisteria_'s beautiful post!Mockingjay story Those Who Wait
Though upon rereading, the scene I was thinking of is much more affectionate than I portrayed it XD (guess which one it was?)

Peeta's hurt ;__;
I adore this picture, though the anatomy is so wonky. Pants are dumb.

I hope you enjoyed!

Dragon*Con 2010

2010-09-03T04:39:58Z

Woohoo! Dragon*Con tomorrow!! and the day after that, and the day after that, and etc.

I'm pretty freaking excited :D
While waiting to board my flight, the gentleman ahead of me asked me if I was going. I MUST GLOW EXCITEMENT OR SOMETHING.

I picked my visit home to coincide, then I pressured my mother into getting a membership to go with me XD I love being a second generation fan; I don't have to hide my fannish interests. Also, growing up in Atlanta has really spoiled me for conventions. Aside from the San Diego Comic Con, I don't think it gets much better than D*C.

So yes! flist! If you're gonna be around, please feel free to ping me :D I'd love to meet up!
