Description A scene from Moving So Gracious , another gem and a half by mekosuchinae . I actually stopped reading to start sketching, I was so delighted by it.

Roxy and Megamind are, I assume because of her longer hair, still in the infancy of their villain/kidnappee relationship. Meeting at a social function, Roxy's nosy reporter senses are all alight, certain that Megamind is planning some heinous evildoing. Megamind isn't one to disappoint his favorite hostage, especially when she shows up wearing that deadly little red dress.

I have a brutal cold, so I got lazy and didn't ink. You get fancy bokeh* stock background (by regularjane ), but nothing more!


props: Megamind & Roxanne Ritchi © Dreamworks
materials: pencil, paper + PS7
music: Moloko, "Fun For Me"

* I had to Google "bokeh" because of this hilarious comic by Hedgehog Beeblebrox , and it turns out I totally love bokeh; apparently I'm a big fat hipster.

I kind of like the no inking on this one! A bit of a change. Megamind is looking handsome as ever. I've never been so attracted to a man with blue skin as when I look at your drawings of him . I also love the emotion you've captured in the look on Roxy's face. She looks quite displeased with him!

Heh, oh she's ticked. I'm trying to think of other characters with blue skin, and all I can think of are the Na'vi, Abe Sapien and Plavalaguna from The Fifth Element.

Definitely none as good looking as him although Jake Sully as a Na'vi is pretty attractive, too

Augh I ♥ you for drawing darkly smug Megamind, and doing such a good job at it.
(And drawing fanart of both the cute and the dark side of him, yes please. )
Such great expressions on both of them, and the intensity between them here, like the kidnapping scene back at the evil lair, yum. Love this just as much as all your MM fanart, you never fail to make my inner fangirl squeal with happiness for every single one of them.
Agh, at this rate you're making me read more and more fanfics xD (not complaining)
Hope you get better soon!

UGH, the scene at his lair. <3 Their little "talk slower"/"temptress" exchange is one bitten lip and a heartbeat away from degenerating into the cover of a pulp comic. ^_~ If he were a less scrupulous man...

I love them for having that scene there,
mainly being a children's movie and all.
(not that the hunchback of notre dame has anything to say on that field)

Delicious, as usual. I love this fic, because I absolutely love the pre-good Megamind and his total obsession with Roxanne. I especially love how you made him focus on her fingertip, as if he really, really wants to get poked in the nose.

You know what's funny... Everybody sees his eye looking somewhere different. I still think he's looking at her eyes, but like a fraction of a line makes a huge difference!

He has gigantic cartoon eyes. It kind of defies normal eyeball logic. Just like the rest of his logic-defying ridiculous-hard-to-draw face.

It's actually kind of nice to see a picture that's, well for lack of a better term, "less refined" from you. Not to say that your inked stuff isn't great, it's just nice to mix it up a bit. The sketchiness of it makes it feel vintage, along with the neat background texture. I also like that Megamind could POSSIBLY be taking a gander at some cleavage lol

TheGreatUndefeatable [2010-12-10 17:35:49 +0000 UTC]

Actually, the texture in this picture looks kind of neat Of course, you're kind of an amazing artist so I think you can get away this just about anything. Still, I like the mood it presents. Very appropriate to the fic (which...I did read I had one day where I was just totally sucked into Megamind fanfiction and read everything I could get my hands on...)
But yes, great drawing! I love the way you did Roxanne's hair, and Megamind's expression is just perfectly evil x3

I love this, even without the inking-- great color scheme, poses and expressions. Nice and delicate sketchy details.

The only thing I object to is the height difference, especially since Roxy (who's already about the same height as Megs) must be wearing heels with that party dress, right? Is Megs standing on something? I don't remember the details of the story...

Would've been awesome if Roxy's lips were the same color as her dress, but we can't have everything.

lily-fox In reply to Ninnik [2010-12-11 01:00:16 +0000 UTC]

You know, I keep forgetting that they're the same height. But he is partial to a lifted sole, so. JUST PRETEND IT LOOKS RIGHT

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ninnik In reply to lily-fox [2010-12-11 01:17:49 +0000 UTC]

That's okay, hardly anyone gets their height difference right. I'm sure it's because everyone is just so used to the guy always being the taller one in most media, especially if he's the leading man. *shrugs*

It's just a very slight slip-up, nothing for me to yack on and on about. Yours is still some of the very best Rox/Megs art I've seen.

Some people draw Roxy with a tiny head (which is especially funny since her head is actually HUGE) and with her height/body about half the size of Megamind's-- THAT I don't get.

lily-fox In reply to Ninnik [2010-12-11 01:21:48 +0000 UTC]

She does have a big head, doesn't she? Maybe it's to help downplay his huge melon.

And, well, sometimes the villain needs to have a little height to underline his menace. Not as intimidating if he's short enough to throw your arms around his neck, eh?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ninnik In reply to lily-fox [2010-12-11 01:27:32 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, yeah, exactly what I was thinking. There's even a picture in the Megamind art book where you see their heads from behind, side by side, and they look to be almost the same size from that angle.

He probably wears lifts.

Khiroptera [2010-12-10 16:46:53 +0000 UTC]

Heheheh, Roxanne's ass always makes me happy. Megamind and I have something in common, yay! xD
And Megz is looking a little lower than her eyes. He's probably wondering what Roxanne's lips feel like. But speaking of lips, his look so FINE. Roxanne, you already have your lips puckered, kiss him and get it over with! You know he's hot! Heeeee~

I really like it this way, your pencilwork has always had so much character. I love it, especially the shading. 8D

The dress is what made him do evil things! Curse you, sexy, sexy, red piece of cloth!

I love Megamind's expression.

Your art always has the light etching to it. It reminds me of older european comics that used so many light and small lines and had these incredibly realistic expressions.

lily-fox In reply to secondlina [2010-12-11 00:57:47 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. I'm not totally familiar with the type of comic you mean, but I think I know what you're talking about. I feel sort of selfconscious of my sketching -- I use a real light pencil and tend to go too lightly on the shading. But I'm glad you like it!
