aletheiafelinea: moving gif; a pencil drawing of a human eye shutting and then opening as a cat eye that shuts to open as the human one again, the cycle repeats endlessly (Default)

Art bunnies on promotion! No, really

All I want for Christmas is art! What, once in a year I'm allowed to have a silly post, am I not?






So, these are ideas for fanarts I don't possibly see doing by myself. Usually because it would demand a far more expressive hand than mine. And some I see in the hand of a particular given artist, who obviously is not me.


PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

There's a wanted poster with a portrait of Jack Sparrow on it, preferably ugly and cross-eyed, and a sum of 5000 below. Jack stands in front of it and with a piece of coal or whatever adds more zeros, blissfully unaware of James Norrington towering just behind, in the full regal & lawful glory, with his arms crossed and a “Well, well, what we have here” expression.
It's an idea I got either in 2011 or 2012 and from that time have kept in the “maybe someday” corner of my mind, but let's face it, this needs a cartoon-ish style, and a good one. I mean, come on, the closest to this I've ever managed was a clumsy flock of sparrows and a parrot with a lifeless Norri-effigy...


THE DRESDEN FILES

Word of Butcher states: ...Thomas has to have his badass vampire face on whenever he's in public. But when they are alone together, nothing else going on, they're like totally cute. Justine wears like these grownup version of footie pajamas so that she can snuggle up next to him on the couch and watch TV without actually burning him.
One correction on my side: footie pajamas for both. Fluffy and hooded ones, with ears. Movie night fanart, with a big bowl of popcorn.

There's that headcanon someone posted once, about Harry's guardian angel, and I want him in this “Why me” stage, pulling his halo down on his ears in desperation. :3

~*~

Raith's throne was an enormous chair of bone-white stone. Its back flared out like the hood of a cobra, spreading out into an enormous crest decorated with all manner of eye-twisting carvings ... at first glance, Lord Raith could have been Thomas. He had the same strong, appealing features, the same glossy dark hair, the same lean build. He looked little older than Thomas, but his face was very different. It was the eyes, I think. They were… stained, somehow, with contempt and calculation and a serpentine dispassion. The White King wore a splendid outfit of white silk, something somewhere between Napoleonic finery and Chinese Imperial garb. Silver and gold thread and sapphires flickered over the whole of his outfit, and a circlet of glittering silver stood out starkly against his raven hair.

It reads very like this artist’s style, if you ask me. And to be honest, the White King makes a better decorative article here than a villain three books earlier. Btw, is it just me, or this whole scene is the author’s opportunity to shamelessly have Thomas, in a way, all blinged out? *g*

~*~

So, I had once that idea of Dresden Files drawn like Lackadaisy. Don’t ask.
No, I don’t mean a Lackadaisy look-alike, or any random furry-sation (though that would be fun, too), but a design by Lackadaisy’s author, Tracy Butler, okay? Because no one can do it as her, period.
Hey, don’t give me that look, it’s totally plausible. Some DF characters, like Thomas or Marcone, or Murphy’s Harley, already are described as feline-like in the canon. As for the rest, it’s because why the hell’s bells not. ^^
# Harry is a large shorthair tabby, the gaunt and stray-looking sort, at least one notched ear, maybe a crooked tail.
# Murphy is a neat little thing, creamy white.
# Thomas needs a lush Maine-Coon-like coat, black with broad white markings – mask, mittens, tail tip. Lackadaisy-verse females have human hair, so Lara could be white with black hair only. Also, silvery eyes actually fit cats. >^.^<
# Too bad that Blue Russian doesn’t really match Sanya… but it matches Marcone perfect, steel grey fur and green eyes. (Nope, no tiger for him this time. Sorry, Dear Fandom.)
# Mab is a Siamese, and Leanansidhe is a ginger longhair Oriental. This would give them both quite a malk-ish look.
# And obviously Bob gets a feline skull!


SUPERNATURAL

This one could make also a fic. An after 11.04 Baby scene. As soon after as possible. :] Dean at a house’s door, holding a little pink Hello Kitty bag. The bag’s owner opens the door, recognizes her bag, then notices a black car on the street behind the visitor, then his grin of a polite crocodile, and goes like “Oh crap”.
My sense of cosmic justice will never be assuaged without it!

I regret nothing! ^^

Mam bardzo wyraźną wizję Jacka dopisującego zera na swoim liście gończym, ktoś zrobił taki fanart czy po prostu kiedyś o tym wspominałaś? :D

Wiadomo, że profesjonalista zrobi najlepiej i pewnych rzeczy się nie porównuje, ale widziałam już fanarty, w których uśmiałam się z pomysłu niezależnie od poziomu talentu rysownika ;)

No i mam teraz wizję Deana stojącego w drzwiach z uśmiechem grzecznego krokodyla. Niech to teraz ktoś napisze albo jakiś komiks zrobi, bo jeden rysunek to za mało!

Dzisiaj mówię o nim pierwszy raz, gdziekolwiek, więc jeśli ktoś już to zrobił, to chcę!!! :D (Nie wykluczam, że mogłyśmy kiedyś gdzieś na Perle napomknąć o tym, że Jack zrobiłby coś takiego).

Ja też, ale - nie wiem na ile to powszechne - ja dodatkowo jestem strasznie wyczulona na, jak to nazwać, humor w samej kresce. Potrafi mnie bawić sam czyjś styl, tak jakby sam w sobie był dowcipem. Przeciętny pomysł w działającym na mnie stylu odbiorę jako zabawniejszy niż ten fantastyczny w założeniu, ale koślawy w wykonaniu. Na przykład śmieszy mnie strasznie ten ogon (http://spagnolo.deviantart.com/art/Becarefull-97030015), mimo że to przecież nawet nie jest ładne. A tutaj (http://aletheiafelinea.deviantart.com/art/Crabby-Appleton-72259972) bawi mnie wyłącznie wykonanie, bo przecież gdyby nie styl, w ogóle nie byłoby dowcipu, nic się tam specjalnego nie dzieje.

Popieram. NOT SORRY za sprzedanie Ci tej wizji, mwahaha. :>

Nie wiem, czy powiedziałabym to samo o sobie, ale rozumiem.

Heh, I hadn't seen that Word of God comment about footie pajamas -- that would make totally cute fanart!

And fancasting as cats is also an interesting idea. Siamese are good for Fae, or other oriental-looking cats that look "weird".

Fellow Dresden fan! Friends?

Sure! :) *friends*

Or maybe a fic, too? This would be a popcorn of high risk, as the sharing could go only one way - she could accept, but would have to be careful about not even pushing toward him a smallest piece. :)

A Sphynx absolutely couldn't be left out of this, too, but I can't decide who it would fit. Mavra? :/ And anyway, Lackadaisy is great on itself. If you happen to not know it, I recommend it highly. Tracy has also human versions of her characters once in a time, in the fanservice stuff. This (http://www.lackadaisycats.com/exhibit.php?exhibitid=393) is my favorite, and tell me you wouldn't like to see her try on canon Thomas or Harry! :)

Like you, I can't actually produce all the art I'd like to see. I do hope someone sees this post and fulfils at least one of your wishes! Meanwhile, Happy Christmas!

Thank you, and Happy Christmas to you, too! :)

I can totally see James's "well, what have we here" expression. *g* And your drawings are really cute!

Dean's "polite crocodile" grin! *dies laughing*

[identity profile] aletheiafelinea.livejournal.com 2015-12-29 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! And admittedly I, too, can see him so clearly that I almost don't need to have it drawn. Almost. ;D

Dean's "polite crocodile" grin! *dies laughing*
What I have done... *g* *looks around* Is there an angel here for a quick resurrection?

ETA
Hey, was it you on dA, today? I didn't know you have an account. If it was you, that is. :)

Dude, summoning angels and/or demons is the best way to make me want to stay dead. ;-)

I sometimes forget I have an account, haha. I logged in when I went to see your pics. :-)

You have a point. XD
