Description Told you it would take me forever to post my illustrations inspired by Beatles songs. And it will continue to take forever.

When I'm 64 is the song Fescu is singing to Darnda. I liked it better without the words on the picture. They destracted from the cute expression on his face.

This is ink on recycled paper. Ja, oui, si.


Fescu and Darnda are my characters.

I think her expression is appropriate in response to anyone singing a song to someone, so suddenly.

I have to say, Ferin reminds me of a more handsome version of my character, Li. Same build, same look of barely contained mayhem XD I just wish Li looked as good!

GingerOpal In reply to SapphireGamgee [2010-02-25 00:50:00 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I highly doubt my Ferin looks any better than your Li. You're wonderful!

SapphireGamgee In reply to GingerOpal [2010-02-25 01:09:42 +0000 UTC]

You're so sweet! Thank you! Styles aside, though, Li was kind of intended to be strange-looking, but I can't help wanting him to be handsomer. But I'm going to keep him this way, dang it, because I don't want all my characters to be pretty-boys! I'll just stare at Ferin and his luverly braid all day

It's true. That's why even my "pretty" characters are also "interesting" in their design, personalities aside. XD

They are so cute! I adore Ferin's big cheesy grin (and his expressive hair)!

And I found a link to the song with lyrics (cuz I'm sad that way and don't know my Beatle's songs) [link]

I'm rooting for you too! I know we'll see these two on shelves everywhere someday soon!

This is so cute! They both look so at ease with each other For once Ferin isn't doing anything mischeivious! haha...unless he's trying to annoy Dahlia with his singing, but his facial expression seems pretty innocent

GingerOpal In reply to LizleMouton [2010-02-25 00:44:55 +0000 UTC]

Ferin can't always be bad!

Except Dahlia does seem to be looking a litte "I am thinking of a way to change the subject soon" at Ferin.

haha, well I likes it alot! How are you enjoying your trip?

I've hit a writer's block btw.... You know how sometimes you have an idea of what will happen but when you actually get to describing how it gets to that event...you have an awkward silence in your head O_o

"You know how sometimes you have an idea of what will happen but when you actually get to describing how it gets to that event...you have an awkward silence in your head"

Yes, yes, I know that feeling well! I pretty much feel that way about the part I'm supposed to be writing now....

Haha, yeah it's a sort of ... moment fortunately it only lasted a while, I really rattled my head and played with ideas until one came out . I'm more than half way through the outline of the first part/book!

I hope your awkward Head Silence is broken by noise of ideas and music of inspiration!
