zomg.

This is the best "why am I still awake at 3:30 am" random checking of my flist ever.

Seriously. I love the muted colors of the background; colors you would usually think of as bright and cheerful dulled and greyed into malice. Love love love (and sincerely jealous of) your crisp, expressive line as usual.

I'm a horrible rememberer of fanfiction I have read before and even really liked but this images reminds me of how freaked out I was by that story when she first posted it.

is that an aye-aye?

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for this awesome feedback! ♥ ♥ ♥ The colors, in particular, took me forever because I kept tweaking them, so I'm incredibly glad they worked for you.

[runpunkrun]

Oh, the colors are wonderful. Dark and garish, just like a nightmare carnival should be! Also, that's a sexy kiss there, with that t-shirt being pushed up and just that hint of back...closely followed by a lemur.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Haha, you are the only person so far who's guessed the lemur right! And I'm really glad the colors worked for you, yay! Thank you ♥!

[runpunkrun]

I'm a big lemur fan. *g*

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

That's amazing. It's perfect for the story and echoes back to Bradbury beautifully. I love the colours and the contrasts.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Eeee, thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it!

[tardis80.livejournal.com]

I love this to pieces. The background kiss (omg lifting up his shirt!) is hot. The ferris wheel, string of lights, and rollercoaster seem dark and empty and sinister. And words can't sufficiently express how much I love the flying books and pencil stubs (and glasses!john!). As usual, you awe me with your talent.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Eee, I am so, so glad the mood worked for you, and also that you noticed the PENCIL STUBS. (Much love! I snuck those in there not expecting anyone to notice them, so, bweeee!)

♥ ♥ ♥!

[tex.livejournal.com]

God, that kiss! I can't take my eyes off it. You combined two of my most powerful kinks - the hands on the face and the lifting of the shirt to get at skin. Wow. *shiver* Fantastic!

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

I am so ecstatic that the kiss works for you! I didn't know how it was going to come off, so I'm really, really happy you liked it. ♥!

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

Oh, HEART.

This is one of my favorite fics ever... I love how dense and dark this piece is! Excellent color choices.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Thank you so, so much! I'm really glad you like it!

(Also, I loved your cover for this fic. It's one of the graphics in this fandom that I saw when I was just getting into SGA and it sticks in my head as one of the most gorgeous covers ever.)

[dogeared.livejournal.com]

Ooh, this is SO lovely!

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! ♥

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Oh Cool! I love the colors and the way everything's so crowded in the background, and is that a marmot? Also, hadn't read the story before, so got a new story out if this too :)

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And, it's a lemur! :D I originally wanted to put in that one animal with the enormous round eyes like O_O, if you know the one I mean? I thought that was called a lemur, but apparently not, and my Wildlife Factfile fails me.

Also, I love that story and I'm glad you've found it too! ♥

[(Anonymous)]

Apparently it's my Wildlife Factfile that's the failure. It is a lemur indeed. I don't know why but marmot sounded like such a perfect name for it :/
Yes, it was a good story :)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Oh, what glorious art work! I love the swirliness of it.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I went wild with the brush pen here; it was a lot of fun to draw too. ♥

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

OH! You would not believe, I have had the most awful day, and this...this just makes it so much better. THANK YOU. This is just beautiful and dreamy—so, so heavy with dreams—and that kiss is one of the hottest things I've ever seen. I'd totally hang it on my wall next to your cowboy!John, but I think that might finally raise a comment here at work.

I may do it anyway.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Awwww, you're welcome! I'm really glad you like it! And if you want a high-res version, I have one here:

It's about 8.5 x 11 at 400 dpi, which'll print really nice, but twice that size at 200 dpi, which prints just fine. :)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

It just went up on the wall. *g* It looks gorgeous—thank you so much!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_swallow/]

This is beautiful! I love the colors, the composition, the lemur!!

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! It was a lot of fun to draw, especially the lemur. :3

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! It reminds me of some of the art in the the Sandman gn's.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you so much! I'm glad you like!

[pervyrobot.livejournal.com]

Yays! I missed your art. The colours really fit with wicked, but I have not yet read the story, so I can only guess the significance, but yay!

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you! And the story is excellent, so, *makes shooing motions* go forth, read!

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

ditto what everyone else said...
the kiss is uber-sexy & they lemur is very cool...

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Hee! ♥

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

That is extremely cool. I love the whole composition of it, and the colours.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Awww, yay! I'm glad you like it!

[mahoy.livejournal.com]

I certainly agree with all the love that's been put forth about this work, but I'd like to add how much I adore the sheer overwhelming-ness of this. The layers of rides gives this jumbled foreboding feeling ... like you're standing on the midway and the carnival is set up like, I don't know, Wal-Mart or something. You turn around and bam! there's the Ferris wheel. Turn the corner and bang! you run into (literally) the roller coaster. The fact that there's all this stuff without the presence of people, just gives it more of an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere.
...
and, yes, the color choices are awesome.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

♥! This makes me so happy because, I mean, that's exactly the kind of overwhelming chaos I wanted to convey with the whole carnival scene, so I am just overflowing with happy here. Thank you!

[pollitt.livejournal.com]

Oh God... the exposed back. *dies*

This is amazing.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you! I'm glad you like it! ♥

[chalcopyrite.livejournal.com]

Ooh, this is awesome. The sinister carnival, and the flying books -- and the kiss. I'm kind of focusing on the kiss, but it's worth focusing on, say I. Many people have said this already, but the colours are perfect.

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Dude, I am glad you're focusing on the kiss, because I wasn't really confident about it, so this makes me incredibly happy! ♥ ♥ And thank you so much!

[miss-pryss.livejournal.com]

This is so extraordinary, and such a perfect, evocative visual representation of the mood of that story. It adds its own dimensions, too. You're always so spot-on!

[mutecornett.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, thank you so much! ♥ This made me really happy!
