scarylady and I are over on Gmail chat trying to figure out our favorite part. The freckles on the shoulders? The musculature? The cheekbones? The grin? The veins on the arms? The worn leather pants? Dat ass?

Oh my oh my oh my....

[andorin]

Possibly all of them. That picture is gorgeous.

I didn't even have to have a hot flash to feel the heat from this piece. It's a beautiful work, but I think the smile is what gets me.

[ashfae]

GUH.

[analect]

...the words. They are not enough.

I'm just gonna go and sob gently into my book of anatomy refs. Skin texture, hair, positioning, all... so... holy crap, she's good. *flails*

[scarylady]

As I said on gchat, it's as though she wired directly into my mind and used my own image of Zevran. Only the freckles are different, and I think my mind-Zev just shifted to fit

It's perfect.

[elysium_fic]

Mine too. It never occurred to me before, but it's head-canon now.

rawr

[scarylady]

I'd be adding body tattoos. These vary, but in my head-canon, all Zevrans have crow wings at the base of their spine.

[elysium_fic]

ooh, that's interesting.

[scarylady]

Le ali del corvo The Wings of the Crow.

You'll see this a lot when I start writing Virtue and Vice, my Antivan story. Their symbol is all over Antiva City, on plaques outside the houses showing who is under their protection, even on some of the coins, as the other major power is the banks.

[elysium_fic]

Don't tease.

[scarylady]

I'm not teasing, I'm beginning to let it loose. I've had a vice-like grip on this stuff for months, haven't dared give it headspace.

[elysium_fic]

Ooh! Even better!

SS first plz.

[scarylady]

I know, I know...

[elysium_fic]

There. My nag duty is done for the day.
