Description It's my birthday I can do a half assed coloring job if I want to.

These two make me so happy. Mister Bones is my opium lord and seer; Feste is an androgynous emcee for a vaudeville act. They are good friends (Bones just also wishes they were more then that).


This might be a WIP if I ever become unlazy.


ALSO. I am aware that I draw Feste different every time...I'm inconsistent, I know. Bones is also taller by...a lot usually. I just...fail. FUCK. OTL

Haha, nope, both are original characters copyright their respective owners. However, Mister Bones (black haired character on the left) did steal one of Brian Molko's older hair cuts.

These two are actually quite lovely, I found your work completely by accident, and I was wondering if the title of your song was maybe from the Placebo song?

Just a question. Wonderful characters

Thank you very much. :]

Many people commented on the same thing as you, actually. The title is in reference to the cover done by Placebo. The original song, however, is by Kate Bush.

I actually have both versions, I thought you might mean the Placebo cover because you mentioned them on your profile, and it was rather ironic because I was listening to that album (meds) at the time of viewing.

It IS a lovely piece.

Their faces look absolutely fabulous! (Bones' especially.) Also, I am in love with the texture on Feste's scarf.

InorganicBoy In reply to BorealisCorvina [2008-10-21 08:48:23 +0000 UTC]

People seem to like Bones's face best, but the subtle androgyny of Feste's face pleases me. His scarf is just simple cross hatching.

Fontenar [2008-10-20 23:24:52 +0000 UTC]

D: I happen to like your halfassed colouring. Hush. Bones's profile looks really good for the most part, though the pupil of the eye is offcenter in a way that flattens it a little. Also. Feste. Looks so wonderfully androgynous and, well, Feste-y and I love his scarf.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

InorganicBoy In reply to Fontenar [2008-10-21 00:46:22 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you! Hm. I just drew his eye in my usual style, which I suppose is more cartoony than the work I've been doing as of late. I'll make a concentrated effort to make it match.

Fontenar In reply to InorganicBoy [2008-10-21 03:07:49 +0000 UTC]

It's not even the style, really, but that the center is off center; it looks as if he should be looking to the side, but the iris doesn't sync with that. It's a pretty minor ting, really,all things told.

melodykenstara [2008-10-20 21:48:23 +0000 UTC]

I am rather very fond of of this picture, especially Bones! There's something very charming about the look on his face and hell I think I have a thing for suspenders but heeee looks good in them. Apologies for the low coherence level XD

And Happy Birthday by the way! ^^

InorganicBoy In reply to melodykenstara [2008-10-20 21:56:15 +0000 UTC]

I was happy with how his face turned out. Profiles give me trouble still, but I keep attempting them. I also love suspenders, and Bones looks rather strapping in them, I think. Very glad you agree. <3 And thank you!

xdollfacex [2008-10-20 18:45:42 +0000 UTC]

Loving the title, first of all. Placebo just keeps reuniting me with your pictures. (Unless you're refering to the original version, in which case... well, it makes no difference.)

The colors are lovely. I love all the choices you made on this one, they really worked out well.

InorganicBoy In reply to xdollfacex [2008-10-20 20:20:10 +0000 UTC]

Most of my titles tend to lean on lyrics if something else doesn't come to mind. Being one of my favorite bands and Bones' theme band, Placebo comes to mind pretty often. I was referring to the cover version, but I also listened to the Kate Bush version while coloring this.

Thank you, I'm happy that people like the color scheme. I was fond of it. :]

xdollfacex In reply to InorganicBoy [2008-10-20 22:37:44 +0000 UTC]

It's fitting. In appearance, Bones reminds me very much of Brian Molko circa 1999-2000, around the time when Black Market Music was realeased (actually, just the other day I was watching my Placebo DVD, and when the video for Taste in Men came on, I thought about your Bones.) This is definately a good thing. Also, both versions of the song are excellent, though I prefer Placebo's. It's not really a fair fight, though, since they are my favorite band.

InorganicBoy In reply to xdollfacex [2008-10-20 22:49:55 +0000 UTC]

The video for Taste in Men actually inspired Bones' latest hair style. I had been wanting him to have it shorter, so...voila.

I too prefer the Placebo version, but the original is quite nice.

xdollfacex In reply to InorganicBoy [2008-10-20 22:55:52 +0000 UTC]

It looks wonderful.

Yes, the original is nice. Kate Bush has a very unique voice. I find it rather alluring, actually. But, then again, I'm allured by lots of things.

It's a beautiful song. I like the original a lot, but I tend to think of the Placebo cover more often.

InorganicBoy In reply to NennaFox [2008-10-20 08:18:41 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah...most Placebo fans only know the cover. Talk about a devoted following, since Mr. Molko is fond of covers and has done a few. The original is by Kate Bush .

Twenty-one.

ooo 21 why aren't you shit faced drunk?

As for a following of Placebo, I am not. I am a follower of CSI and they played that version of the song on one of the episodes in season 7...I think it was season 7 I think LOL either way...

The color palette is just so beautiful. Every color complements another.
