Happy April Fools' Day!

It's been quite a while since I've done anything in the Harry Potter fandom, but when Heidi asked me to contribute another April Fools image for FictionAlley this year, I couldn't say no! For those unfamiliar with the tradition, each year artists contribute an image of the FictionAlley main page mascots dressed up as characters from another fandom, or of characters from another fandom taking the place of the main page mascots. It's all very silly and fun and a great opportunity to showcase some of the fandom's artists. The full list of participants is here!

My crossover fandom... do you even have to guess?

And also, in a dazzling exercise of convenient timing, my latest project just went live:



The Archive: Presenting a venue for Dresden Files fanfiction that is searchable by verse, pairing, level of spoilers, rating, and genre! Post your stories, get reviews, and read and comment on the works of others.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHOCO, AND HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO PUCK!

To celebrate the twin happy occasions, GG, Kat, El, and I wrote round-robin Dresden Files ficlets. Both are PG. The first has no spoilers to speak of and takes place shortly before Grave Peril. The second has major spoilers for Blood Rites and Proven Guilty and takes place in some indeterminate time after White Night.


For Choco: ( The (Un)Romantic Exploits of Harry and Susan )

And for Puck: ( Save A Horse )

I just realized I never posted my other Dresden fics here, so I'll do that now:

Cold Comfort (NC-17) -- The favourite of my fics! Harry Dresden looks for comfort after the death of a loved one. Daaaark. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Feedback (PG-13) -- It's important, as Molly and Carlos well know. Ridiculous fluff in drabble form! (spoilers through White Night)

Fifty Sentences for Molly and Carlos (PG-13) -- a writing experiment with one of those "fifty words" prompt tables. (spoilers through White Night)

Marbles, Or Lack Thereof (PG) -- A slip of the tongue for Molly in a delicate spell results in a Discworld crossover! Round Robin. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Quietus (PG) -- Everything comes to an end eventually. Harry/Murphy, in about 45 years. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Save a Horse (G) -- Harry has a favourite t-shirt. Round-robin. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Shiver Me Timbers (R) -- "This [The Boone Identity] couldn't be more shippy if Harry was Captain of the Spanish main and Murphy was a pirate queen." ... And thus, collaborative AU Pirate-themed Harry/Murphy cracksmut was born. No, I don't know what the hell we were on either. (spoilers through Blood Rites)

Turnabout (PG-13) -- Having your apartment set on fire can ruin your whole day. Fortunately, there are consolations. Harry/Murphy. (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

The (Un)Romantic Exploits of Harry and Susan (G) -- A quiet dinner isn't as easy as it looks. Round-robin. (spoilers through Storm Front)

Visitation Rites (PG-13) -- After the events of White Night, Molly muses about the good fight. (spoilers through White Night)

Where's My Daddy? (G) -- This is a story about reading a book about reading a book, which turns into a different book. But it all ends happily! Inspired by Terry Pratchett. Pure fluff, written to compensate for the darkness of "Quietus" and "Cold Comfort." (spoilers through Proven Guilty)

Title: Fifty Sentences for Molly and Carlos
Author: Priscellie
Rating: PG
Fandom: Dresden Files bookverse, as Molly and Carlos don’t even exist in the TV-verse. You TV-only folks don't know what you're missing! :D
Spoilers: Through White Night.
Word Count: 1,425
Disclaimer: Molly Carpenter, Carlos Ramirez, and all other assorted characters belong to Jim Butcher. Let's hope he has as much fun with their sparkage in future books as we're having with them in the interim!

Author’s Note: I took a somewhat unorthodox approach to the whole "fifty sentences" prompt thing. I jumbled up the order of the words and made the story into a single, coherent whole, rather than having the sentences be in the more traditional, disjoint format. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Love as always to tigerkat24, my magnificent, prolific, and inspirational beta! Love also to Terry and Choco for participating in my "write me deathless Molly/Carlos and I will send you actual brownies" fanfiction challenge.

( Behind the cut... )

The first thing I did upon finishing my undergraduate coursework was head straight to Photoshop and CG a drawing of Molly Carpenter and Carlos Ramirez I did weeks ago.

New fanart, woohoo!

VERY MINOR, ALMOST NONEXISTENT SPOILERS FOR WHITE NIGHT. Especially as the scene depicted is from my twisted shipper's imagination and does not actually occur in the book!

( Behind the cut! )

So I uh, wrote fic. For the first time in six years. *hides*



Title: Cold Comfort
Author: Priscellie
Rating: *coughNC-17cough*
Fandom: Dresden Files
Spoilers: Through Proven Guilty. Plus, dude, if you haven’t read all the canon books yet, why are you wasting your time reading fanfic? Come back after you’ve read up on your Dresden.
Summary: Harry looks for comfort after the death of a loved one. Daaaark.
Disclaimer: Jim is the Great Creator and Owner of All Characters. It’s a credit to him how much fun I have dabbling in his world!
Word Count: 4160
Author’s Note: This is book-verse, not TV-verse. First person to comment saying “OMG UR STOOPID, CONNIE IS A BRUNET!” gets eaten by weasels.

Hey, kids! It's time for the promised MASSIVE NEW YORK COMIC CON post of doom and awesomeness!

( Friday! )

( Saturday! )

( Sunday! )

So in sum:

JIMMY IS AWESOME for too many reasons to count, though motivating me to go to the con in the first place is a big one. Joe is wonderful for putting me up for the weekend, so I didn't have to fork over massive gobs of cash for a hotel room. My fellow PA Shindiggers are made of love, and I hope I get the chance to see you guys before my inevitable move to the West coast. The various people that hit on me because of my wig and fake piercings (I'm looking at you, Fat Jedi that told me to call him "Demos" and hung out by the CNI booth for like an hour) have done wonders for my self-esteem and therefore deserve delicious pie. Jimmy and Joe deserve an extra slice of pie for mentioning me and my costume in the Con wrapup episode of the podcast (Episode 78, 22 minutes in). Made my day, guys!

Yay New York Comic Con! Now go listen to Comic News Insider. You know you want to.

Today I spent 12 1/2 hours in the computer lab, working on my demo reel, broken only by a ten-minute trip across the street to grab a salad at Cosi at 9:30. I am hardcore!

Check it out here! 55mb mov.




Those that are lazy or on slow connections can check out the updated, rendered version of the Bob animation I did last summer. Just 2.9mb mov! It also appears on my demo reel, at higher resolution. It was a lot of fun to make, though Terrence Mann could kick it's pixellated bu-- er... temporal fossa? :D Fellow fans, note that I don't actually think Bob floats. I just wanted to experiment with lip-sync (jaw sync?), and artistic license took over like a mutant lizard rampaging Tokyo. Now he just needs some Playboys! I didn't feel they were appropriate for a demo reel I was sending to Disney, among other wholesome places.

Now give me comment-love!

Yay, more Dresden Files fanart! Spoilers for Book 6, Blood Rites, by Jim Butcher. Why aren't you reading this fantastic series? Drawn to fulfill prompt #23 (Lovers) for Fanart100.



( Cliquez-ici! )

Muchas smoochies to Alicey for critiquing my progress at each step of the way. Thanks for putting up with me, loffie! :D

My latest fanart exploit, breaking my previous record for "number of characters drawn in one scene" by a considerable margin! It's a scene from Proven Guilty, the most recent novel of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series: the night after the attack on Arctis Tor, where all the Carpenter kidlets are reunited at Saint Mary of the Angels with a collective sigh of relief. Because I felt bad that Michael wasn't in the scene, I included a sculpture of Saint Michael righteously pwning a demon with his flaming sword. W00t!

( Check it out behind the cut! )

EDIT: I've revised and rendered out the skull animation!
Download it here!


For the past week, I've been hard at work modeling a skull in Maya. It does double duty in my fandoms: give it blue eye lights and it's on its way to being Discworld's Death, or give it orange eye lights and it's Bob the skull from The Dresden Files. It's not finished by a long shot, but it's in a state where I wouldn't mind showing it off. Click the thumbnail for the full-size image!



Then this afternoon I decided to use Bob to teach myself how to lip-sync on something that has no lips.

Check it out here!

It's just 4mb. You'll probably want to rightclick+save to your hard drive, as I've found that trying to view the file directly tends to clip the first second or so. Audio is the panties-melting voice of James Marsters from the Storm Front audio book, brought to us by the lovely ladies at Buzzy Multimedia.

Ignore the little orange balls! I don't have the resources at home to render out the entire clip properly, and in this low-tech version, the little balls represent where the eye lights will be. Refer to the rendered still to see what it looks like in the alternate universe where I'm willing to fork over 600 bucks for Adobe AfterEffects.

Man, it's been AGES since I've CGed my own stuff. My New President's Day Resolution is to spend a lot more time drawing, so here's Thomas and Bianca of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files. Because only something like five people on my flist have read the books (which TOTALLY needs to change), context is behind the cut.
