“One of the Silent Brothers is here to see you. Hodge sent me to wake you up. Actually he offered to wake you himself, but since it’s 5 a.m., I figured you’d be less cranky if you had something nice to look at.”
“Meaning you?”
“What else?”

After laughing in amusement and gasping in anguish during the adventures of the Mortal Instruments books, I figured I owed the author some fan art for not disappointing. So here it is, a sketch of Clary and Jace, a pairing which brought much joy and pain to me as a reader. Joy because their relationship is so raw and dear, pain because — well, you’ll just have to read it. Clary is an artist who describes herself as ‘cute’, but swearing to jeans and sweaters didn’t exactly make her very feminine. I decided I’d let Isabelle fix her up again before I started drawing her (how can I possibly resist the temptation to make Clary all girly and pretty when she’s got wonderfully red and curly hair!) – note her embarrassed expression.

Jace is his usual sexy, confident and sarcastic self (but good-natured), though how I managed to make him look hot with those stupid, golden curls of his, is a mystery. I even put on the faint white lines of inactive, faded runes on his chest – can you tell? I put some active ones on both of them as well, and I dressed them up in shadowhunter gear! Or at least my version of it. Jace decided – much to our joy – that he didn’t need the black top underneath, the coat alone was sufficient, hurr hurr.

Lutten’s complaining about the design of the stele. Shaddap, that’s how I imagined it while reading! (And the seraph blades look even duller in my imagination when inactive, hehe)

I quite like this sketch, perhaps I should give it a go?
