for i was an earthly knight - fanart and fanmix

[violacea]

I was absolutely blessed to have two awesome people - brandixcyanide and druidspell - lending their creativity to my story!

brandixcyanide made the following, and the more I look at it, the more I love it – it illustrates three totally separate parts of my story, all in one piece! I love the colors, the photo she chose, everything. I literally clapped and made stupid noises when I saw it in my email, seriously. So give her lots of love here, because she deserves it!





My fanmix was made by the lovely druidspell, who put together a really amazing mix of songs. When I look at fanmixes, I always look at the sound and atmosphere of the music more than the lyrical content – I think that fanmixes are meant to set the mood for the story they’re accompanying. This mix sounds exactly like I want my story to sound, melodic with a great dark undercurrent. I am totally in druidspell’s debt for capturing it so perfectly!! But, also, not only do I have awesome songs, but she made me several pieces of cover art, too!

druidspell would like to give proper credit for the photos she used! Pictures taken by enoughoflove with this camera, and used with permission. If you'd like to see the larger originals, you may see Spencer here, Jon here, Brendon here, Ryan here, and Brendon again here. These photos happened at their May 10 Wallingford show, and if you'd like to see all of enoughoflove's photos from that concert, kindly direct your attention this way, please.

Words cannot express how deeply awesome it is to participate in this whole bit of madness – I owe these two artists so much thanks, more than I can put into words right now! So, please, if you enjoyed the story, please take the time to sample their work and give them feedback! It’s totally worth it, trust me. :)

*dolphin noises* I'm so glad you liked the mix (I agonized over songs and song order for so long, you have no idea), because I adored your story. OMG, so much love for this story. It was everything I ever wanted to read in a Faeries! at the Disco AU. ♥ x eleventybillion

The minute i read about the auras i knew where i was going to start and this thing just kind of grew from there. i think that was probably my favorite part about the whole thing (aside from, ya know, everything else).

I am so so so incredibly thrilled that you like this so much, you have no idea!

That fanart is fucking amazing. I just wanna stare at it...

The mix is fantastic too! I recognize some of the songs & I love them so I can't wait to listen to the rest. I love the album art too!!

brandixcyanide and druidspell are both like nine kinds of awesome! I'm off to read your fic now...

I got about halfway through the story and thought there really, really needs to be fanart for this and then remembered that it was BBB so there WAS!

(And the lighting in those photos is so awesome. O.O)
