"You should stop wasting my time, Executor. We both know you didn't come here to commiserate over drinks." Shepard leaned closer, salt and spice hot on her breath, and bit off the words. "I'm right here, Vakarian. Why don't you just ask me."

Garrus didn't move. Her expression burned with a fierce light—the same expression he remembered from battle. Flashes of her face mixed in his mind's eye with the hurricane echoes of rapid fire, tactics and strategies spiraling out of control amidst a wild whirlwind of dominant instincts, fear, and total exhilaration.

He wanted to extinguish the servile responsibility that had marked his last six years. For a moment of pure longing, he wanted to return to the Normandy and the hunt for Saren – he wanted the thrill of throwing in his lot with a Spectre in defiance of all orders, the adrenalin rush of the chase, the ecstatic agony of victory, the knowledge that they'd brought the Council to their knees and had the world at their feet.

But time had left its mark on both of them. When he spoke, it was through his teeth.

"Tell me where you were the night Sha'ira died."

Scorpion Honey
coming soon

Why the feature? Because I gotta give the props where props are due.
Because sometimes you just run across somebody and you like them.

Meet ~Infernallo.




P.S. If only turians were made of chocolate.

MUST.

DRAW.

SNAPE.

Well, I was going to mood myself cheerfully, but as soon as I clicked on the 'Sadness' mood category, I got depressed by all those cute little lonely emoticons. Of course, it doesn't help that I suck for leaving all of you high and dry for so long. I'm sorry, everybody! Have some new art and a bite of my bagel! I owe at least two of you a jaunt into D.C. (you know who you are)! REPARATIONS WILL BE MADE!

Meanwhile, check out ~jojoSCAD:



One day, she is going to rule the world from her animation studio. And I'll make maquettes for her.

I got a sub, because yes, I am that addicted to stamps, thumbs, and creating news articles. I was totally hoping to skate by on contest winnings, but since I've been working 50+ hours a week, that idea kinda went down the tubes.

But I'm on the last week of working two jobs. No more nannying for me (though it was a posh, easy, luscious-paying gig, it wasn't getting me insurance). I'm moving to fulltime barista awesomeness starting the 5th. Ruuthe! It's gonna be harder and easier. Also, nannies don't get tips; they pretty much just get drooled on. (And not in a good way.)

Not really sure whether I'll be online more or less since quitting my second job. My hours will go down a bit... but my second job had a lot of web-enabled downtime... on the other hand, I get free wifi from Starbucks... on the other other hand, I won't want to hang around Starbucks just to get online...

HOW 'BOUT WE JUST SEE???



Oh yeah, and I have three or four amazing news Arts which are close to being done... and I SWEAR I will post them soon. In the meanwhile, have a few stamps. No go on, take a few MOARRRR...
