Inception Big Bang Art- Ada

Art for Ada (on Ao3)by the lovely and patient lindenmae for inception_bang




"He was lost in thought, half-listening to Robert rant about Saito and the Progressives and the Unions, only looking up to wave away the attentions of any prostitutes that took interest in him, when he saw her.  He wasn’t certain what it was about her that caught his eye at first.  Perhaps the dying sun through the windows had caught her hair and made it like a halo about her face.  But once his eyes were on her, he was transfixed.  When she looked at him, she seemed almost startled by the intensity of his gaze, but she recovered immediately, offering him a close-lipped smile.  She did not look like the other girls, not dainty nor soft, though she was still very beautiful.  She was handsome, Arthur decided, her jaw just a little too wide and sharp, her shoulders just slightly too broad, and she was just a little too tall, but the sight of her was like a punch to Arthur’s gut.  It was something he had never felt looking upon a woman before.  She started to cross the room and the sounds of the parlor died away from Arthur’s ears with every step she took.  The petal pink of her silk dress was the only color Arthur could see besides the golden of her hair.  He was mesmerized and it came as a rude shock when she stopped and turned away from him, focusing her attention on someone else.  He was dragged roughly from his reverie by the sound of his own name immediately after.

I didn't manage to give you the flaily comment you deserve for this art yesterday. So here it is. This is so amazing and perfect and right on point. I love the look on Arthur's face. You somehow caught that exact moment between him being completely zoned out and seeing Ada for the first time. His expression is in transition and it's incredible. I love how vulnerable he looks and Ada omg. She's perfect. That face is exactly what I saw in my head. It's not too traditionally feminine but not exactly masculine either. You managed to take my description and draw it PERFECTLY. AND THE COLORS. I LOVE the sepia tones. I love how both pieces have an aged feel to them like old pictures. Both of this pieces are just incredible. Thank you so SO much for choosing my fic and creating this awesome art for it. I couldn't be happier. :) <3333

I HAVEN'T EXPLODED IN FEELINGS OVER YOUR FIC YET EITHER. >.>

I'm so so so glad my headcanon merged with your headcanon and I didn't mess up anything. I get kind of neurotic about being spot on and I AM SO GIDDY THAT IT IS. Also, I love young Tom Hardy's face and feminize him more often then not...HE WAS JUST SO PRETTY. Basically I got to draw androgyny and dresses and I could blur all the people because your fic was written like that AND THANK YOU FOR WRITING THE GREAT FIC THAT INSPIRED ME WITH THIS. <3333333
