Description Alrighty...

After a mini-hiatus and a slight case of artist's block, I finally finished this little gift art for . She did a little request for me, so I did a little request for her...and she said she liked BB, so here he is!

I really needed more practice drawing him out, and actually started this pic in my sketchbook...but as it went on, my lack of experience drawing him became REALLY obvious. It ended with me scanning it up and using my tablet to "fix it up". Thankfully you guys won't ever see the other picture before my revisions.

Lighting is a bit funky, and his hair was a major pain in the butt to actually sketch out, but I'm pretty happy with it. I like the way his body came out and it seems that he actually found some clothes that suited him (other than those purple pants I slapped on him in the other pic... ), with some dark green pants (I actually drew decent pants! Gasp!) and...eh, a shirt that he got for Christmas. Bet you can't guess who he got it from...

Oh, and that's a lollypop, not a cigarette. Just thought I'd let you know...


Hope you all enjoy, and don't forget to full-view! It always looks better up close.

**Edit**
Okie doke...fixed BB's ear because it actually did look too small... Kudos to ~sorarocksmysocks for pointing that out.

Thanks! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get exactly what I had in mind down on paper, but everything turned out well in the end.

He doesn't need to be fed. He runs on pure coolness alone, or is that not evident

He seems to think so too, but that sign is just a little too close for its own good.

I'm betting cyborg gave him that shirt as a joke.

I've been drawing BB for a few weeks now and this image makes me want to try to draw him in my own personal style.

Ironicly... BB is EATING in front of that sign. Great idea, really. It's so simple yet it tells a story.

beast-b0y [2006-09-02 04:42:58 +0000 UTC]

its ironic because now that i've seen this pic every time i see beast boy he looks more like a boy not a teen, this pic i think accuratly describes bb if he was a teen

Thanks for the compliment. We need more teenage BB piccies then!

Yeah... Thankfully my forgetfulness didn't strike at that very moment...

I still need more practice with folds in clothing, and just clothing in general, really. I really do like his pants though. ...As odd as that may sound...

Kyah!! SO cute!! I wanna glomp 'im! XD And I'll bet Starfire gave 'im that shirt, heheh, knowing you. So cuuute! And I love the sign. Love this. Hee. ^^

Chyrstis In reply to InAbsentia [2006-02-13 02:45:46 +0000 UTC]

He is a cutie. I'm just glad that I managed to actually crank this piccie out without causing him too much damage... Sadly, Star didn't give him the shirt (although I have a faint idea of a shirt she would give him...), but good guess though. I love the sign too. Had to actually make it myself since I couldn't find a piece of clip art, but it looks good for what it is.

...And now I want to write a story too. I have a chapter to finish getting together and my brain decides to assault me with ideas concerning this pic! (Sob) Inspiration's mean like that, and I have three tests next week too...

Awww. Well, I wish you much luck. And crunching writing into bits and scraps of spare time sucks, no?

HAPPY V-DAY. From one single, lonely, heterosexual female to another. Gay guys have all the luck.

Chyrstis In reply to InAbsentia [2006-02-15 02:16:27 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I got one of the tests done and got an A on it, so that's one small victory I can safely put behind me. ...And writing isn't getting any easier, because my chapter is in desperate need of revisions. I need a beta! It's not a good thing when you want to change the entire direction of one chapter because of a few misplaced events...

...And it's not like Raven or Robin are helping the situation any...

Happy V-Day to you too! There's no other day that stresses the pressures of being single in a world where couples are practically put on display. (Sigh) Oh well... It's just like I told my mom. Valentine's Day isn't about love and affection.

...It's about the food!

I'm glad you liked it.

Sorry it took so long though...I just couldn't come up with a good enough idea for it, and then inspiration decided to strike! ...And the rest is history, I'm afraid.

Awwww....he looks so cute! This came out really nice, Chrystis! He actually looks almost hot in this!

Totally cool way of expressing his attitude--the cool but still kinda shy pose works perfectly for him. And good job on the clothes!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Chyrstis In reply to Emania [2006-02-11 04:03:32 +0000 UTC]

Almost?

I've always found him adorable. It's that lovably (dare I say) dorky personality of his that just makes me want to hug him.

...And I'm actually getting better at clothes now! I love the way things turn out completely by accident...

Emania In reply to Chyrstis [2006-02-11 05:36:29 +0000 UTC]

aw, dangit...now you've caught me in a moment when Puck (my muse) is riding my imagination hard and he's actually itching to do something with Beast Boy now...and it's all because of your picture! Don't be surprised if I note you or something in the next few days and ask you for permission to write a one-shot or something based on your picture...

I'm highly tempted to let Puck play with it now but it's getting late and I still need to pick up my bed...

Would you completely hate me if I ended up writing something based on your picture? Dunno what it would be, but now Beast Boy wants to get in on the act... sheesh...

Chyrstis In reply to Emania [2006-02-11 06:19:10 +0000 UTC]

Oh, here! (Hands over pic) Run with it while you still can!

I'd absolutely love to read something based on my piccie! To actually provide inspiration for something just makes me swell up with pride. Note me if you must, but you already have my full and complete permission to do a one-shot, etc based on this.

Can't wait to see it!

Shirts are meant to be read, too. Save the Whales, yo. XD

Beast Boy looks absolutely, completely, 100% ADORABLE in this picture. I love his little slouch, his fluffy hair, his detailed clothes, his eyes...d'aw, he's just so cute. The lollipop is hot, too. And his 'Are you lookin' at me?' expression is a great touch. Only thing- his pointed ear looks a little small, compared to the rest of it body. That's about it, though.

Have I mentioned I love the sketchiness? Because I do. A lot.

Chyrstis In reply to sorarocksmysocks [2006-02-11 02:45:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. BB's just too much fun to draw, but he's a bit stubborn I'm afraid. I'm still not used to his character, but I'm getting there. All I have to worry about drawing now is Cyborg... Eheh, yeah...

I really liked his expression and his posture in this pic though. I didn't know if he was going to be balanced properly or not, because I don't really use reference pics (even though I really should) so everything is essentially trial by error. I actually went and fixed his ear up a bit, since it actually was a bit too small...so hopefully it's better than before.

Much love for the sketchiness. The funny thing is that the more difficult the section of the picture I'm working on is, the more sketchy it turns out. I must be compensating for something...
