Sketch: Sunshine Challenge, Prompt 1

[paulamcg]

Prompt 1: Red
Red is a strong color that is associated with a variety of things including: courage, power, glory, love, passion, inner strength, romance, sensuality, defiance, tenacity, violence, life, pleasure, fire, and revolution.

This challenge has made me do something outside my comfort zone. I've never before posted a picture on DW. (EDIT Or on AO3, where I've managed to get this a day later./EDIT)

And I've never shared (or made) a piece of fanart. This is just a sketch based on a scene I've been composing when rewriting an old fic about Remus Lupin in Paris in 1984. My Remus is an artist, and just yesterday I wrote about him painting with red, wearing this red jumper borrowed from a lover.

I don't even know if and how remixing of fanart is done. Before this I've never thought of contributing anything but fic and comments to the fandom, and I've only dabbled with these fragile traditional media: watercolours and pencil.

You write HP fic, don't you? I'd like to subscribe to you.

It can be done, although, as I imagine it, it could be someone drawing or arting in their own style, or from a different angle or pose, or making another in a series.

I have written some HP fic. It is not, by any means, my most prolific fandom. Feel free to subscribe, if you like. If you subscribe to my DW, you will instead see lots of link goodness and the occasional fannish meta or similar instead of fic efforts. (My fic is basically all archived on AO3, same username silveradept.

Thank you! I meant subscribing on DW. I'll be happy to have more goodness in my feed. And I'll check out your fic on AO3, too.
