Description
Yeeeup. I got a picture up that actually managed to have Daxter and Tess in the same picture. I've had this stored for about a week now and my scanner is back online, so yah.This took way too damn long to finish and add the final touches.
For now, I'm going to make a short point on something I don't want to hear in people's comments that I've heard elsewhere and don't want to hear again.
Just because I happened to have Dax and Tess in the same picture and used song lyrics and ornamentation DOES NOT mean that I am copying/ripping-off/however-you-want-to-put-it-ing Jenni's style and whatnot. So certain people IRL who've seen this (you know who you are) and have flattered/offended (depending on how you want to look at it) me, dun bother. I don't wanna hear it.
My good Weas is an inspiration, not a source for me. Get it through your thick heads, por favor.
... Okay, other than that miniscule rant, I'm rather happy at how this turned out. Well, it looks better from a distance, anyways.
Aye, my above rant is only directed at one person, and they don't even have an account here at dA, so don't worry about any of that crap being directed at anyone of major importance, friends.
... This picture is also based off of a chapter of a fanfiction I'm writing. Rather sad fic... actually.
That and I was watching Phantom of the Opera (for like the 5 billionth time x_x) while working on this for the most part... so that might explain the fire there and the stage-setting in general... although the fire really didn't have much of a point.
Heh. Whatever...
Daxter and Tess aren't mine. They're NDI's and supposedly RAD's.
Song lyrics are from My Chemical Romance. A cookie and a hug to the people that can guess which song. :3 ... Well... other than Becca. >_>
But this piccy is mine.
Materials:
Prismacolor markers, Crayola and Faber-Castell colored pencils, an HB pencil, rubber stamps, .5 and .7 mm Uniball, rough sketching paper, white gel-pen, glittery and metallic gel-pens of practically every color in the rainbow except for green, and some multi-colored stamp ink

Thankyou!! I've never heard of anyone describing any of my pictures as 'exsquisite' before.
And yes, the lyrics are 'Ghost of You'. Good job! Have a golden star!! XD
The fic isn't even finished yet. In fact, it's been on hold for say... maybe half of a year. I'll upload it to either here or Fanfiction.net when I'm done with it. What's sad is that it's a one-shot. And it's taken so long to write. Wtf.

Wow, this is really quite excelent!
Love your usage of color, and the poses, and all and all just...all-of it. I know you said that you don't wanna hear any of it, but it kind-a reminds me of Weasie's work.
Not that I'm criticizing you about "copying" or anything, it's perfectly fine and very ncie to see. I mean, we're all doing fanart, so what's wrond with practicing someone's art style? Pisses me off when peeps get on other's backs about art styles, if ya do fanart, then you have nothing to talk about.
It does reminde me of the old late 1800's/early 1900's theater style too. All those deep and rich colors, with the red and brown and orange, and dark blue star backdrops.
my only crit is about the Tess side veiw; her boobies and chest are up a little too high, and her face seems a little squished. but it's still fine.
Great job, I hope to see more work like this from you.

*bows in respect*
Thankyou very much.
... I wasn't trying to borrow Weasie's style (although I am flattered to recieve a comment such as yours! Stop flattering meh! XD ), but the picture just kind of came out that way. >_>
What I should've explained was that I didn't go to one of Jen's pics and tried to recreate or immulate(spelling? o_0) her style... 'cause if I did this picture would've come out waaaaaay different. But yes, I must agree that fanart doesn't really matter. The reason I do fanart is because I enjoy drawing other people's characters (my original ones just plain suck.), and I'm just kind of practicing with my skills before I go to an art college of sorts (I'm looking towards Los Angeles right now. )and get a career so I can work in the movie industry. Maybe Disney or Pixar if I'm lucky. I am interested greatly in animation (although it is a long and nauseatingky difficult process, in my opinion
).
Yup. When you're watching Phantom of the Opera... theatre-stuff tends to influence whatever you're doing.
Oh, and thankyou very much for teh crit... For some reason, I just can't draw boobies in general. They are a tad too high, aren't they?
... I also made a hugeass'd mistake on the gun. See if you can find what I did wrong. Hint: something is missing.
I felt really dumb after I inked this.
But thankyou for your lurb.

*wakes up*
*faints again*
Your comment has left me speechless.
*is splashed with cold water*
Okay I think I'll stop passing-out now... Yes, Weas is a very inspriring artist, no? XD
Sometimes it's her that drives me to become a better artist every day. I may sound like I'm being competetive, but I'd like to be better than her someday.
Although she's not a role-model, or 'role-artist' actually, for me, she does inspire me and make me want to keep improving. And what I understand is that I'll never be as good an artist as her no matter how hard I try, but it's that fact right there that pushes me.
... That last paragraph sounded way too deep.
Anyways, I'm glad dat joo like dis piccy!
I totally whored-out details in this, didn't I?
But it was a lot of fun. Ooooh yes it wuz. o_o
I feel really loved by all of the peeps that commented on this picture! And I love you! *sniffle*
Heh... I'll try to re-submit this in a smaller size... and do you mean size like 'pixels', or do you mean size like 'file size (like KBs, Bytes, etc.)? 'Cause I'm sure I can do that.
Thankies mucho for the luuuuurvv!

aw thas simple yo! ^__^ Allz ya gotta do, when you scan in your piccy I mean, is go to "edit", and then their should be a "Image size" tab. Just click that and retype a number over the original.
And ya. I know how ya feel A09. Sometimez I feel guilty for being so secretely competitive, but it drives me ta work harder all the same. ::hugs you and starts bawling Niagra Falls:: WE WILL GET THROUGH DIS!!!
