non-SN related art

Hey everybody! A belated Happy New Year to all my f-list! Sorry about my longer absence, but I was away over the holidays and then sick for quite a while and didn't really feel like arting or doing anything else for that matter! *g*

Over the last couple of weeks, while Supernatural torments us with another long hiatus, I watched all 5 seasons of Queer As Folk (US) and I became quite intrigued by its main character Brian Kinney, at least fascinated enough to tickle my muse. It's funny, during my 2 years of SN obsession I only managed to make 3 wallpapers that are related to other shows. I'm artistically very monogamous, so this is more or less an exception! *lol*

I have a batch of ideas for SN wallpapers on the back burner and my next post will surely be SN related again!


So, Brian has a very complex personality and is pretty much screwed-up by childhood experiences. He likes to hide behind a cynical attitude and is prone to hurt everybody around him, when he struggles with himself. He's also a promiscuous and narcissistic person, obsessed with his body and afraid of aging and loosing his charisma, which is the aspect that my wallpaper focuses upon.

You all know the drill, no posting elsewhere and no pretending it's your own. Just for private desktop use! *g* Resources as usual over at Salt'n Burn!

Your work never ceases to amaze me... Brilliant wallpaper, hun! I'm in love with the colors and the composition... Also, it's nice to see some non-Supernatural art :D

Aww thanks, Ari! I really rarely feel the impulse to art anything other than my boys. *g* It's always nice to do something else though, to work other themes just gives the opportunity to play around with styles and elements that I wouldn't use in SN art, so I am glad when my muse responds to anything else.

ROFL I know! I am in shock myself! ;) I feel totally alienated when not arting SN. *lol*

I would really need a new wallpaper... thought you said you have ideas for some...?

ROFL Thanks for the vote of confidence! I am utterly uninspired at the moment. Having ideas doesn't necessarily mean that they work out on canvas! ;) If you are looking for something for your desktop, you can always have a look at my website Salt'n Burn (http://www.misplaced.co.uk/saltnburn/), I am sure you'll be able to find something there. If you are looking specifically for SN art you can also have a look at the SN fanart archive Provenance (http://www.left-unspoken.net/provenance/).
