fanfic illustration: lover

this is an illustration for the beautifully written lover, a fic i really wanted to draw as soon as i started to read it, really. but it wasn't until the 2009 edition of xf_santa that i got round to it! (i was wisely assigned bravenewcentury who wanted an illustration of her stuff.)

i had immeasurable fun doing this and i am really, really pleased with the outcome. even the ladybird was fun! i added it at the very end, on an impulse, because GOD DAYMN I REALLY LIKE LADYBIRDS. of course, once it was drawn, it was goddamn problematic to place in the drawing, and the composition probably sucks even now after the 10000 tries. augh, whatever.

ETA: a rl xphile friend i showed this to lol'd and said "is it the peugeot 207 ladybird?" i lol'd for 10 minutes straight. (you guys, there IS a ladybird in the fic, in case you're wondering. read it, i recommend it )
