bottom_dracoI'm in a bit of a crisis, here. No, this is not an art search...
I keep procrastinating all the time, and in doing so, I keep drawing these H/D sketches. And I keep posting them here, and over at some other communities. These take up a lot on people's flist pages, and I was wondering if this is bothering anyone? I mean, I know my art is crap, or rather, it lacks the slash quality, and follows more into the yaoi one.
I honestly don't feel comfortable posting these sketches in a community that doesn't like yaoi, or the seme/uke thing, or girly!draco. So my question is, should I post the art once it's coloured? Or keep it the way I'm doing, by putting up the sketch, and later on posting once it's coloured? In other words, posting BOTH the sketch, and then the coloured version. This means it would be two different posts. Am I making sense?
Or should I not post my art at all, and just keep them in my own LJ? Until I can get a good, 'slashy' one that lacks too much girlyness and seme/uke-ishness, then I should put it here?
I just hate it when someone comments or complains that the character does look girly, or that it takes the whole point of 'slash', and things like that. I see a lot of girly Harry pics when he's paired up with Snape, and no one complains about that. -grumbles- Yeah, so I'm kind of bitter here, but please give me your opinions ;)

Eeep, I was almost half-way done with Chapter 3 until my stupid cat jumped on top of my laptop (because it's warm) and moved on the keypads...and held the 'power' button for precisely 8 seconds -_-;
My cat is eeeevil, I tell you. But no worries, I WILL have it up, and I will send you the doc files for the beginning chapters.
Thanks so much for your encouragement, hon ^_^
