Art

First, before I get to the art, BBC Radio's running "The Inimitable Jeeves" right now. I don't much care for the radio adaptations, but others may enjoy it. :)




I did this partly to make a point. ;D In so many fics, Bertie's dressed in a blue suit or given a blue tie to bring out the blue in his eyes. Not that he wouldn't look great in blue, but actually I think blue clothes would make his eyes blend in. Since blue and yellow are complementary colors, golds/yellows and rust tones would make them stand out most.


I had drawn this picture last year and had finished coloring it & was about to post...when I realized I'd left out the ski poles. So I put it on the back shelf for months. Since getting my tablet, I redrew it - with the poles this time - and made a few other fixes as well.




Bertie playin' his banjolele.




I mentioned maybe doing Honoria in drag to a few of you in my last post. I decided to give it a try, so here she is. It turned out even better than I'd hoped, which hardly ever happens. :D

Due to LJ's recent fuckery with the Scrapbook system, I'm considering hosting my art elsewhere and linking to it here. I've heard that some early users have lost photos in the move, plus it's not going to allow tagging (or subgalleries as far as I can tell).

I've been asked before if I have a website or Tumblr. Originally I was opposed to getting a Tumblr because it's more public than just posting in this community, but I know some of my pictures have been reblogged there already. So maybe I should just go ahead and make one? How many of you are on there? Photobucket's another possibility, but a boring one.

I love Honoria in drag! She's perfect, and that pose is very sexy.

I'm also enjoying the way your version of Bertie is developing. I like the reddish tones to his hair because that's the way I've always pictured him.

Photobucket is a pretty boring way to share art, if that's what you want to do. I just store things there and get the links when I need them. I've never done tumblr, but a lot of people seem to enjoy it. A lot of Jooster fans have accounts, I think.

Thank you! I got the inspiration for it from a couple of photos that are in this book: http://www.amazon.com/Women-Pants-Maidens-Cowgirls-Renegades/dp/0810945711 (http://www.amazon.com/Women-Pants-Maidens-Cowgirls-Renegades/dp/0810945711)

I'm still sort of refining my image of Bertie and I feel like I haven't got just the right look for him yet in the portrait, but I'm very pleased with it all the same. :)

Photobucket's definitely dull. I'm also not comfortable with how recently uploaded public photos show up on the front page.

I love that book!
