another cover: The Road Not Taken by Joyfulgirl

Two in one day!



I chose these colors and typefaces because this story reminds me of the sort of clever, well-dressed 1930s and 40s movies that I love, in that there is SO MUCH wonderful, witty dialogue. One might be tempted to say it sparkles. And I quote from my email to Joyful: Even though this story is completely contemporary, and the girl doesn't get the boy and doesn't even want him, I insisted on making a pseudo-retro image where the fags hang with their hag and adore her like a goddess. Because, dude, without her they'd be pouting and lonely.

Normally, I am not fond of Eliza Dushku as Lois because she seems too young to me, but she's perfect as *this* Lois. Considering how much I like Alex, and the whole m/m romance and porn aspect of the story, I think it's telling that I tend to gush most about *Lois* here ;)

5 done, 11 to go.

FYI, image and complete rec list also visible here on my site.

Thank you! A secret: I like making brushes more than I like using them. I hope you find a use for them, though ;)
