jesus christ, that only took over a year and a metric shittonne of money. Thanks RDR for proving that you're a bunch of dicks but at least you're finally-getting-smart dicks. Or, more likely, poor ickle SVA wants to sell books so he begged/pleaded his way into getting RDR to shut the fuck up.

On to the rest which are all recs from various holiday exchanges:

Le Songe by remeciel. The first set of art is absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful. Remus/Sirius

Parts of a Whole - Remus/Sirius. Yes, I obviously know who the author is but dude. AWESOMENESS. Complete and total awesomeness. My favorite bit is the hand fisted in the shirt.

See, I don't think that one necessarily NEEDS the smut to have artwork be hot. I don't need the cock. What I need in a piece of artwork is something that inspires me to think about what comes next, what tells me what comes next without bashing me over the head with it. IMHO (and obviously this is just MHO), putting the cock in every single picture is the artistic equivelent of an assload of tell not show. To me, artwork that implies what comes next is even better. It shows me where we're going and the journey the artist wants me to go along on. This artwork (deamus) is a prime example. Look at it. It's fucking hot because you can tell that the characters are just about to rip the clothes from one another and shag each other rotten. You can feel the need and the awkwardness and the UST.

That's what I like - blatant and complete and total UST. I don't need the smut. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the smut. I do. But I don't need it. Anyway, my two cents.

Contoured Bodies (Seamus/Lavender) IDK that I buy that this is Seamus and Lavender as Lavender's skin is unmarred after getting ravaged by Fenrir and I really cannot see that what with how scarred-up Remus and Bill are/were. However, that aside, I think it's a beautiful tender piece that definitely deserves a look. And then another one.

Back to my rs_small_gifts fic. Which is going to kill me.

oh - i don't need the smut either. most of the time UST pushes my buttons even more than the sex (that's not to say the sex isn't awesome, specially if it follows the UST). but i hate that i can't draw full-on porn because in my case that amounts to a lack of skills. like: i don't draw it, but not because i choose not to, but because i *can't*. :/ it's hard to hide your lack of anatomy knowledge when both characters are baring it all. XD

that last artwork is lovely.

See? Exactly! and, LOL at hiding the lack of anatomy knowledge. I think you do a bang up job of it. My fave r/s artwork is the one you did that I use in my icon. You had such UST in it that I didn't mind that you didn't see all the bits and pieces.

Isn't it? It is beautiful.
