Why this artist is awesome: She is an extremely talented artist and quite dedicated in terms of the amount of work she produces in whatever fandom takes her fancy. It's been a pleasure to witness her skills grow and expand over the years. I am amazed by her ability to capture likenesses, and love the way she uses colour. She is always so humble about her work too. Definitely one of my favourite fanartists out there, and I'm always delighted when our current fandoms line up. :D
Type of media used by this artist: She uses traditional media, such as pastels and pencils.
Fandoms in which the Artist has been active: We met through Merlin fandom, but lately she's been drawing up a storm in the Marvel/Captain America fandom, much to my delight.
Links to some of my favourite artworks by this Artist: Ah. There is NO WAY that I can narrow this down to favourites, since I love it ALL and there's SO MUCH. ♥___♥ But here are two links: Treasure, Buried and Brooklyn Sketchbook

Date: 2017-11-12 02:53 pm (UTC)Absolutely! I think I saw her stuff in Merlin fandom years ago (when I was still a lurker) but didn't really know her. And then I rediscovered her through Bucky/Steve and have been stalking her AO3 religiously. My highlight was when she started commenting back on my stuff! And for the marvelbang this year we worked together on a story and did different art pieces for it (links in my recent post) Fantastic! She's a joy to work with.
If you hadn't linked the Brooklyn sketchbook I certainly would have. Such great drawings which add to Steve's characterization beautifully!
I think two of my favourites certainly are these:
Happy Bucky in a bathtub
Bucky in sports leggins
