The Stillroom

May link to recent [aka: tolerable] pieces individually later. These are just gallery links. There are probably about... five to ten pieces in there that were gifted to me, and about the same number are illustrating other people's fics. UploadGeek is beautifully barebones, which suits me at the moment but doesn't allow for disclaimers: it's pure upload. I'm afraid the galleries are mostly ordered alphabetically by file name, so newer and worser stuff is mixed up in there.

HP: mostly illos for Hex Files (RP), a bit of canon spackle.

Hogwarts Stationary. For Snape, the Headmaster, and each House. Free to use, please credit, can alter for other teachers/staff on request (barring RL insanity). :)

Saiyuki: Worth the trip just for the gorgeous one in the frame, by KaKa.

Saiyuki: The Origin of the QiBall, or Why Sa Gojyo Only Does One Night Stands. A doujinshi version of my fic of the same name (hopefully fics will be up reasonably shortly).

Slayers: comics, AU-pics, various illustrations. Mine except for the cosplay photos, which are from, I think, Kaoru Shishou.

Slayers: Nothing Gold: illustrating my fic universe, which bookends the series and can be called AU if you insist.

Various, including a Holmes pic.
