Description EDIT: I won the competition!

Download for the full details!

Entry for quipquipquip 's contest to design a cover for her epic fanfic, No Dawn, No Day. (Full downloadable version here .)

I really am very pleased with this. I went for the more painterly-look and it's come out well. Possibly the most epic piece of digital art I've ever done, and certainly the best fanart.

~5 hours drawing and scanning, ~5 hours painting on PSE 5.0.
On the Way Down by Ryan Cabrera was the main soundtrack. I think it's appropriate for D.

Hands referenced from

The Bat-Cowl, Gotham City, Stephanie Brown and Damian Wayne, along with all things Batman, (c) DC.
NDND and Alfred the cat (c) quipquipquip
Art by me, *Lutra-Gem

I know I went on and on about how wonderful your work is last night when you first showed me the finished image... but I have to say it again. XD I love the lighting and poses!! And the hands are beautiful! I also really love the details in the clouds, I know I said that too... but I really do.

And the little cat is just wonderful! The expression on his face XD

Thank youuu~ And we'll just have to see! My entry went up a little while after the first, and right now mine's a good few likes/reblogs behind. It's a crowd-favourite voting thing. But I think I have until the end of the week.

Aww, thank you sweetie! I'm glad you like it. It was totally worth all those stupidly late nights, fitting it around university work.

I seem to be surviving. Just about. I've had lots of little things go wrong for me, but I'm not really surprised; for my first month at Cherwell nearly EVERYTHING went wrong and I couldn't cope. Now I've done it once, and I'm all "For Ra's sake, get your things together girl," and not crying over it. I'm very busy (six ensembles!) but so far I'm coping. How are things going on your end? And I need to get something done for you to take to Vic... Right, that's my project for the week decided on.

Going well. I'm keeping busy with the drawings and my story (te he). I'll totally get something signed for you . I got my cosplay finished (even adding a sheath and sword to it); there will be pictures uploaded after the expo

Sounds good! And don't worry too much about getting anything signed; they might put a limit on how many you can get, or a pricetag. But if I can get something done, I'd like you to give it to him.

You just worry about having a good time, okay? And don't go spending money on me. Expo's expensive enough as it is.

P.S. Would you film your giving of my thing to Vic? I'd love to see it, and then I could sort of be there. Sort of.

But I already have his autograph. And my friend in California volunteered to get me another one, on a better poster this time. So really, don't worry about it! I'm just sorry I can't come with you.
