Somewhere Waiting For Me

A monkey and a penguin, in fancy hats, holding paws/flippers

Oh, wow, that is amazing. I love the sense of atmosphere and scale in the first picture, and how neatly you've sketched out Loki without needing to sharpen focus on him. And in the second picture, what amazing shading for the skin tones, and Loki's cheekbones and whole profile are just PERFECT. I love Loki's parted lips that show fascination/enthralment, and how Steve looks vulnerable but not weak.

Wow! Just wow!
There's such a sense of bleakness but warmth here and Loki's hair blowing in the wind is just UNF!
And the likenesses you've captured are exquisite!
I'm in love. ♥ ♥ ♥

Ohhhh m ygod, how do I love this, let me count the ways.
This is seriously beautiful, I screamed when I saw it. It's just...breathtaking - your style is incredible, the texture, the expression, the mood you convey. I don't even know how to say. The blurry, almost impressionistic (is that the right word?) quality of the first piece, the spot of green color, and then the second piece - I love Loki's hair, his hands cupping Steve's face, everything about both of their faces.
There is no need at all to forgive you for the Snow White reference, because it just makes everything better.
(Seriously, I'm dying over here. Thank you so, so much.)

Drawing of Maglor with a harp on right, words "sing of honor lost" and "Noldolantë" on the left and bottom, respectively.

These are gorgeous!

Goooooooooooooooooooorgeous!!!!!!! Edit to add: I definitely feel inspired to write something after seeing this, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to sit down and do it. I have family visiting for a couple weeks, so maybe after that?

I love the colors in this, the expression on Loki's face, the tendrils of his hair, and the way he cradles Steve's head, so tender and yet desperate. These feel so cold and bleak, but the emotions are so vivid!

Wow, gorgeous! I adore your style - the way you handle color, the angles you choose, the way you put so much emotion into your work. Wow again!
Awhile back I wrote a story called "Those Who Favor Ice" where Loki finds Steve in the ice and remembers an old legend where a prince kisses one who sleeps. I fell in love with that idea - and I'm glad I'm not the only one. We need more Loki finding Steve in the ice stories...!

PS, how do you find out about these Fests? Is there anywhere where there's a general announcement of upcoming fests and challenges? I love doing these but often find out about them after the fact.

Ooohhhhooo, Loki's hands. LOL, I might have a hand fetish as much as I'm drawn to them in your pics. But these polished nails are just sexy. His wild hair gives me joy too. Steve's iced lashes are so beautiful. Just impressions I got while looking at it - your art is always gorgeous. Thanks for sharing, Alby! <333

Not even a personal favorite pairing (though some of Lise's fics definitely drew me in), but this art is GORGEOUS. :)
