Title: House of Paper
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] loobeeinthesky 
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Eames, Arthur and Ariadne.
Summary:  "Getting dragged in by the FBI is not exactly the way Eames had planned on spending the weekend. He's even less amused when it turns out that Arthur's the reason for it. However, he had never been able to say no to this particular pair of doe eyes. And with the mind of a psychopathic serial killer as the playground and the FBI breathing down their necks Arthur and Ariadne really need all the help they can get ..."

EDIT: The wonderful [livejournal.com profile] rei17  has finally started to post the story so head on over to this link here ♥

 

AN: I feel so sad having to post this without her but I want to thank [livejournal.com profile] rei17  for being an absolute delight to work with. For putting up with me mid art block, and for letting me nag her for new chapters when she was having such a stressful time writing. Sadly she didn't find the time to finish for the deadline, but I hope we all get to see what she wrote soon, as I enyoyed what snippets she gave me so much. Thank you so much hun, and I hope I did your story proud. Tried to do something a bit different than I normaly do, so forgive me for experimenting with colours (or lack of)

Cover:



 
“And just for a job you needed the FBI to drag me here,” he states slowly. “In handcuffs. Seriously? When did it go out of fashion to just give people a fucking call?”

 
There is a sudden weight on his back. Arthur has latched onto him.
For a moment Eames thinks he’s trying to hold him back, but Arthur is too good at his shit to assume that. He knows how guys look who are ready to attack.
He doesn’t let go though.

 
So when Arthur turns around he’s not actually surprised there’s a young girl sitting next to him in the passenger seat, competently handling a gun. It’s all kinds of wrong and horrible disturbing nevertheless.

“We wouldn’t want him to think I’m just happy to see him, right?” she says and hides it in the glove box.

“Right.” 

 
His heart beats frantically in his chest. Eames’ face is so close that Arthur can see the tiniest hint of freckles dusted over his nose and the green spots in his grey eyes. Eames’ breath ghosts softly over his lips and Arthur shudders. His breath catches in his throat.
None of his earlier projections of Eames ever …

 
A hand seizes her wrist and she screams.
It’s a pale, white, tiny hand, but the pink nails are digging in her tender flesh and it hurts, God damnit, it hurts.

 
Arthur sits on the ground, back to the wall. His head is lowered and he looks pale and almost boneless, like a ragdoll that’s slumped on the ground after somebody threw it carelessly against the wall. His shirt is bloodstained and Eames’ heart skips a forceful beat.

Your art is so amazing and beautiful! *_________*
I could stare at it forever and ever and ever and then one more day.
I can't even decide on a favorite picture because I love them all so damn much!
I actually started to like my own story for the first time whenever you turned parts of it into art.(Maybe because somehow Arthur and Eames never look as hot as they do when you draw them.)
And I absolutely adore your picture of Ariadne (and spent ten minutes straight starring at her pretty little ass in that jeans *coughs*)!! You absolutely need to draw women more often!

Thank you so much.
I can't even tell you how lucky I've been to get you as my artist. *hugs*

Rei, oh I can't begin to tell you how much I loved working with you on this. You really inspire me to try my best ever at this ♥ And I'm bloody glad you started to love your story, you should have liked it from the very beginning you daft person you. It's just amazing, and really made me want more and more. I'll be sat here patiently till you finish and post, because I need to know about Simms and what happens to Arthur and EVERYTHING ♥

Hahah i'm glad Ari's little bum brought you joy. And yeah I really do need to draw more women ;)

No thank you *hugs* I was the lucky one because you brought my love of drawing back when I was so very woe over it.

Cover art: OH MY GOD LOOK AT EAMES. He's so perfect. That wink, the patterns in his suit, his hands! And then Arthur is actually holding a pair of glasses and OH did he just take them off? Love Ariadne's expression, she's just the perfect embodiment of o_O I would make a joke about her scarf and Slytherin colors, lol;. :):)


The pic with Arthur latched on to Eames is plain marvelous, and the one of Eames with a knife is like ♥_________♥ God, look at the placement of the hands, the holster, the chain on Eames's belt, their faces! Perfect. So weird and romantic.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ARTHUR IN THE LAST ONE?! Ouch, even just his pose makes me go, "omgomgomg."

So very evocative and your use of color and pattern is beyond stunning. Your poses take my breath away. FUCK, your art's absolutely breathtaking.

He's just such a smug git even in the face of the FBI XD He did because he didn't want Eames to see him wearing them (not that Eames would ever mind) Ha-ha, i'm sure Ari is more a Gryffindor ;)

Romantic? with that there huge knife? ;D *laughs*

Ahahah I'm not telling, you'll have to wait till Rei posts the story :P (which i'll be sure to pimp like mad)

Thank you ever so much hun ♥♥♥ I'm really happy that you like it so much XD

OHMYGOD. \o/

These are so gorgeous I can't even. No seriously. I love it, so much, the reds are so stark against the black and the COVER, good GOD THE COVER. I love it.

I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT. I'm sorry I can't say anything more poignant than this generic comment but please don't think that means I'm any less sincere about it. ♥

Fantastic, from beginning to end. I love we way you imply movement in some and stillness in others. I also love Arthur's posture in the last one, though I think we need to talk about his choice of socks. ;)

And, looking at all that, I'd read that story.

LUCY. LUCY. That cover is amazing and glorious and seriously I love the grey with splashes of colour, it feels so very film noir which seems like it fits with the kind of story it is. I could ramble on but I'm really terrible at actually saying intelligent things about why I like art, so suffice to say just LOVELOVELOVE, okay? <3

NELLIE, NELLIE XD Thank you ever so much hun ♥ Film noir was exactly what I was going for, it's such a dark subject that the story deals with I don't think my normal rainbow colours would have matched. And whatdaya mean terrible? I can't hear you XD ILU too *hugs*

I've been sitting in front of my screen for fifteen minutes now, starring at this gorgeous art and I think my knowledge of English vocabulary fails to encapsulate how much I adore it. I love everything about these. From the composition of the cover (all the details! And the way Eames and Simms stand back to back and Simms holding the blindfold!) to the backgrounds in all the other (especially the last one, I think I already told you how much I love grunge textures) and the sheer amount of details you put in every single picture (Arthur's socks! Ari's bracelets! Eames' freckles!). I could go on and on and whine about what a lucky bitch rei is for having you as her artist.

In conclusion: ♥♥♥

Thank you Hope ♥ I'm really very happy you like them. I'm also glad that you noted all the details as sometimes people miss them. But I put them in to draw people to the story. It's so much fun thinking about what they would wear and how dark I could make it (brought out the grunge for that) I think I was the lucky one to nab Rei's story, it was very inspiring.

sdlas.adfp,afdwp Cheeky Cames in handcuffs! Arthur with glasses! Eames contemplating his bruised wrists while Arthur looks vaguely guilty!

I totally love all of these. The black and white look with just a dash of colour works brilliantly, just fantastastic art all around.

Will we get to read the story at one point? *hopeful*

Ahhh, I am so excited that I can't type any more, Eames not Cames, god *embarassed*

Oh gosh your art is fantastic! I love the cover in particular: Eames looking wonderfully roguish with his wink (and handcuffs!) while Arthur and Ariadne are adorably rumpled. It all looks so polished and detailed; gorgeous work :)

Thank you so much for the kind comment ♥ Eames to me will always have a lot of charm, even when he knows he's in trouble. They are both so harried trying to solve the case in time, so happy you noticed that XD

Oh jebus these are all so gorgeous. I just - I cannot handle just how lovely they all are. Seriously man, Eames is just so so so perfect, I am so in love with your style especially where Eames is concerned. He's amazing and stylized and still that same character and I cannot handle it

Thank you hun ♥♥♥ I always want to make him too realistic, but i've settled on a style that's between realism and stylized, and I love it. And you know me I have a soft spot for Eames a mile wide ;D Allway have to draw him so terribly gorgeous.

Thank you ♥ When Rei gave me the snippets she did, I just had to do so much detail that hinted at the story. Probably got strange looks researching those newspaper prints though XD

(Not at all, I friended you back ♥ Sorry about my horrible moaning entries of late)

wow, all of this is utterly gorgeous. the lines & shadow & colors. Arthur's suspenders, Ariadne's scarf, Eames' forearm - yum!

I cannot wait to read the completed story; the snippets are so enticing! For now, I'll just stare happily at the pretty artwork. :)

Thank you so much, i'm really glad you like it ♥ Those details are always the fun part fo drawing. I don't think there isn't a part of Eames that isn't sexy XD

Thank you darling ♥ That was my whole idea, to make it look like a movie (or an old TV crime drama)so I'm glad you liked that. I'm so detail mad with my art *laughs*
