I was originally not going to sign up for the wincestiel big bang, but then I saw this prompt. I actually opened and closed the post a few times before I gave in, because I wanted it so badly! Horror and insanity are THE BEST. [livejournal.com profile] weareallpuppets has been really great to work with, despite some lapses in communication from the both of us /o\. She's got just the sickest, coolest ideas, and I love em. I hope you enjoy the fic as much as I have!





^I could not decide between these two. I know it's a minor difference, but... the bottom one is more saturated, and gets more of the look I originally had in mind. However the top one seems to fit these characters better, worn and gray and washed out, oppressive. Probably bad form to be so indecisive, but you can choose for yourselves which one you like, haha.







^This was one of my favorite scenes in the thing, and I had so much fun illustrating it. Many references were used.
I opened the file yesterday to do some last-minute editing, and I accidentally hid the wrong layer. The result scared the pants off of me.



Then, more dividers than a person needs in their entire life.















Finally, the city of Centralia is fascinating. After an underground mine fire in 1962 made it dangerous to live in, it was abandoned. In 2010 the ghost town had a population of ten.

Here are a few of my favorite Centralia pictures:

If you want to know more about it, here's the wiki, and here's an article that is less in-depth but has good pictures, haha.

Hope you enjoy!

rather learn the xylophone. Is that allowed? i took one of my boyfriends' virginity to the sound of a xylophone playing softly in the room overhead. Poorly, but softly.

......... On account of that being THE SINGLE BEST STORY I HAVE EVER HEARD, yes, I allow it this time.
