A Deep Dish Nine G/B commission from cosmictuesdays, who actually gave me the pairing, medium, price, and an mp3, and told me to go forth and let the rest of it be a surprise! This is the result of a request to work with I 4 U U 4 Me and Julian/Elim~
Glasses!Ponytail!Elim were not part of the original request, but they are here regardless!
“Has it ever occurred to you that I might be getting exactly what I deserve?”
“The word you’re looking for is ‘unnatural’ - meaning ‘not from nature.’ ‘Freak’ or ‘monster’ would also be acceptable.”
After that last DD9 comic, naturally I had to draw something to cheer myself up, yeah? (I … think we’ll be back to your regularly scheduled aliens after this, though. Probably.)
Inspired, of course, by @ladyyatexel’s AU Garak and Bashir, her versions of ~significant (human!)Cardassian hand-holding, and also rather directly by the first chapter of @tinsnip‘s can’t steal happiness (although I moved the interaction to Deep Dish Nine, mostly because I felt the need to put Julian in his uniform).
So, last week I read @tinsnip’s Disconnect (a fantastic and rather devastating Deep Dish Nine adaptation of The Wire) and its sequel, Splice … and they’ve been occupying my brain ever since. I made a little excerpt into a comic to try and work out some of my feelings.
So many feelings, dammit.
Oh my goodness me. It’s perfect. It’s… wonderful.
Down to the puffy jacket and the tired eyes.
Thank you. ❤️️❤️️❤️️
Oops.
Writing was like pulling teeth yesterday, so I took a break and got completely sucked into the Deep Dish Nine pizza parlor AU. Which I surprised myself by loving immensely (I’m usually not terribly into non-canon/human!AUs, it’s a thing … but then, very few of those have such an intriguing commitment to reinterpreting alien cultures as human/immigrant ones). So here’s a small scene from @ladyyatexel’s Deep Dish Nine (and @tinsnip’s Inconvenient Fireworks, for that matter), because that particular human!Cardassian hand gesture is totally irresistible.
Aww, I’m so glad the story drove you to do art too! Your Garak is delightfully solid~ I have to respond to your lovely comment on AO3 still as well! Forgive me if that has to wait several more days, but know I am deeply appreciative!
Happy to see that particular gesture has claimed another victim, haha.
I also don’t usually consider myself one for these sorts of things, so I was just as surprised to find myself writing it as you were enjoying reading it! Thanks so much for giving it a shot and feeling so good about it, this is a delight.
tried my hand at drawing deep dish nine Julian and Garak!
15. In a different clothing style
COMIC AH
I really adore the Deep Dish Nine AU and knew I had to do something from it eventually! This is entirely based off of a scene in chapter seven of ladyyatexel’s original DD9 fic. AND NOW SHE JUST PUT UP ANOTHER CHAPTER EXCUSE ME I HAVE TO GO READ IT NOW.
AU’S!!

Tuveski thinks this could be a hell of a night. Rijal is interested, he’s almost certain of it, and he knows for damned sure he’s interested too… but how the hell is he ever going to get her alone when Julian Bashir is tagging along?
She thinks this could be a hell of a night. She’s found him. He’s without defenses. He’s alone here. And she has some very good ideas of what can be done with a lonely Cardassian… Of course, this irritating skinny Terran is really getting in the way–
Outsider POV of the DD9 Garak/Bashir relationship, along with fun times for the OCs in question. Everybody likes a concert! And Plixx Tixxaplik’s in town!
Backbeat of this particular story provided by Ke$ha’s “Die Young”, and if you like it, please buy it!

I’m an apprentice tattoo artist. An artist who owns a few shops invited me to their team.
I’ve got a long way to go. I’m still learning basic shading techniques. Working with a tattoo pen adds depth to the traditional flat plane I’m used to working on.
One is never too old to learn a new skill.
At times I feel like a complete newb.
So, here is a meme that I love. I’m sharing it for everyone who is learning something new.
