Roman cheesecake

[motetus]

My adventures in ancient Roman cookery:



Used this recipe. Quite tasty, but I may have gone overboard with the poppy seeds.

Oh Esca/Marcus painting, why are you turning into a vast epic work of epicness that will take me the best part of this year to finish? If it wasn't looking so awesome I would probably give up and go paint kittens and shit.

There, now I've announced how pleased I am with how it's turning out, I'll probably do something like accidentally overwrite the file.

ETA: fuck me, I think this is the first time I've drawn a hand without wanting to put my own through the computer screen. Shame I don't feel the same way about the other three in the picture.

I am feeling old. I've realised my white hairs are spreading from above my ears to everywhere else, and it's getting obvious and so is time to begin many years of dying my hair- oh god I'm only 26. Curse my mother and the genetic material I inherited from her.

I'm going to go slightly reddish to start off with, and eventually work my way up to more vivid and offensive colours.

You know what also makes me feel old? Having to check what year a film of Jamie Bell's was made in, and then working out if it's acceptable for me to have filthy thoughts. I'm so ashamed of myself.

The food looks delicious. And, having seen the wip, I am really excited to see the finished work, boy am I. (We were all squeeing about it in chat when you posted. And that is a beautiful hand.)

That hand is gorgeous!

These look great! Both, the cake and the hand. I can't wait to see the finished picture!
And there are enough kitten painters around. Please stay with the slash art, it's much nicer, and it makes me happier than any kitten could ever do.

Hooray I'm excited to see this! and bah humbug I need to crank out some more pictures, if only to get you to post up that V you promised me.

1. Used this recipe. Quite tasty, but I may have gone overboard with the poppy seeds.

My contribution to fandom is COMPLETE. And no, that looks about right; it's just hard to spread them around evenly.

2. OH MY GOD I AM KILLED DED AND THAT IS WHAT, 1/24TH OF THE PAINTING?

(We were capslocking liek woah at your sketch, believe me. And I, for one, am not wandering off to other fandoms any time soon. There is still much, much more porn to write.)

That's a beautifully well-done hand.

The cheesecake looks fabulous. How was it?

Pfft! Don't worry about the age thing when it comes to your fantasy men. God knows I never do, and I'm, well, let's just say significantly older than all three of the ones I covet the most. ;)

hahahahahaha

This is my entire fandom life.

But then, I am genuinely old, and the answer is usually NO. I have pervy thoughts regardless.

I might have to try that cheesecake. The poppyseeds are decorative.

That hand is incredibly good. Being a non-artist, I can't say much, but I would imagine that both Liam and Ewan's hands would be incredibly difficult to do. I mean draw.

I'm not familiar enough with Jamie Bell's or the other guy's (though I do *heart* Jamie Bell). But I do know that Ewan's hands are confoundingly perfect. And I'm kinda drunk.

You're not old sweeting. A splash of white hair here and there is sexy.
