I've been wondering...

Are there any Highlander pandemic fics yet?

While reading another HL fic (as I still do ocassionally) it occurred to me that current events would work well with classic HL angst and themes: immortals feeling survivor's guilt because they don't get sick or die when everyone around them does (and you could do flashbacks to previous epidemics too), immortals working as doctors or medics or volunteering because they know they can't get sick, the chance for exposure of their secrets because of more medical scrutiny (I don't remember whether there's any canon on whether their blood even develops normal antibodies or such if they have to undergo a blood test), in general evil immortals taking advantage of upheavals...

I get that not everyone likes current events encroaching into their fanfic, but just as many others do, so surely there's bound to crop up some?

fanart process: Methos with a mutant baby

I'm not sure whether anyone is interested, seeing how the art itself got very little reaction (only two comments and one kudo so far *sulk*), but since I took the pictures of the in-between stages, I might as well post them.

( many images of the work in progress )

fanart, Methos with a mutant baby

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 22:49:36 GMT

Fandom: Highlander/X-Men
Characters/Pairings: Methos, mutant baby
Media used: acrylics on paper, original ca. 35x45cm
Rating/warnings: G, none
Notes/comments: This is an illustration for basingstoke's awesome Highlander/X-Men crossover WIP Unalienable. Among many other things happening, Methos takes care of a mutant baby, carrying her around in a sling: "Methos makes a sandwich with the baby in a sling on his hip. [...] Baby's skin has flushed up bluer now that she's feeling better. Her eyes are a bright, piercing pink. Her eyelashes and eyebrows are thick and orange but she doesn't seem to have any hair on her head or body, not even the normal fine down of a girl's skin. She looks garish and strange."

Please do not distribute my art without my permission, i.e. do not upload my art to other sites, services, archives, or wikis. That includes uploading the images themselves to your own Tumblr, even with credit. A high resolution version of this art without the URL watermarking is available on request for private, non-commercial uses.

Preview:

ETA: I made a process post with photos of the painting as it was in progress.
