Aww, thanks! Well if you post a lot of art and do fanart for things, you will get comments. Especially if you do a lot of fanart. Your chibis are pretty cute by the way.

You're welcome, I'm glad you like it!! It was pretty fun to draw. You know what my favorite part is? Their hands in the middle. Since I had to look up reference for holding hands, I feel like part of the picture looks oddly better than everything else. XP

Well, if it was fun to draw, and you ever want to have more fun, I guess you know what you can do.

I don't think it looks oddly better than everything else, but I think it DOES look really good, especially since hands are hard. But it looks really realistic, and I just realized how visually appealing the arrangement of the picture is. Because their hands are right under the circle in the pinwheel background, and it forms a V deal, and the way they're standing is kinda parallel, and it just adds a lot of motion and ATTITUDE to the picture. Plus both of their other hands are up, and over a red stripe, their hair touches those other stripes, the top strip is between them, and their outer legs are over parallel red stripes while their inner legs are over parallel orange stripes. Like... I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right, but it's just very visually balanced and it totally works. But I do love the hands. All of them, not just the two. And their expressions. And their poses. And the folds. And their skin tones. And basically everything.

OH, it's also cool how you made it looks like his gloves are going over his labcoat, while it looks like her gloves are under her dress sleeves. I'm not sure why it works, but it just does. It seems more typical of the characters. Which is also why their poses are great. They just seem very much... like the characters. It's hard to explain, but I really just feel like it's very reflective of their personalities and stuff.

How did I know you were going to say that?

I did try to make things look parallel, so that isn't an accident. Originally LRW's pose was going to be different but then I thought, no, it'd look better if it was the mirror version of Two Brains' pose (I drew him first).

Haha, thanks! I always try hard to capture the essence of characters. Even if I take liberties with their appearance or just plain screw it up, as long as it looks like a pose/expression/whatever that the character would have, I'm usually happy. ^^

VoiceActressKurutta In reply to Phageous [2011-12-26 15:21:56 +0000 UTC]

Because I'm predicable.

Wait, did I say it was an accident? I thought it was probably on purpose, but did you draw them on top of the background like that? 'Cause when I did my digital piece, I did the background last, and the background just so happened to fit in with the way the characters were positioned, movement-wise. So I wasn't sure if it was one of those situations or not. Of course, as long as they were still parallel, which you did on purpose, and as long as the background was symmetrical, that would probably work out anyway... So long story short... I'm not even sure I know what I'm talking about.
You know what's weird, though? I mean, I think I tend to draw from right to left, so I normally draw Lady Redundant Woman first, but the weird thing about that is that I always draw her on the right side of the page and Two Brains on the left. Like... I noticed that I do that virtually EVERY TIME. And here you did it that way too. It just seems natural for some reason, I dunno why.

Yeah, I understand that. ^^ I think that's why I tend to try to copy things exactly, though, instead of taking liberties. Because I feel like if I copy it exactly, it'll have to look like them because I didn't do anything different from the show... but, unfortunately... it doesn't really work out like that. But that's why I love you art anyway! It always looks so much like the person you're drawing, but in a whicked-awesome style!!

XP

I drew the background last and things just ended up that way. I mean, I positioned the center of the background where I wanted it but didn't put too much thought into where the individual lines/chunks of orange/red would end up.

Well I tend to draw left to right (probably has to do with whichever hand is our primary one), so DTB being first and LRW being second made sense to me.

Thanks. I used to try to copy styles but I gave up after a while because I was bad at it. XD Though you can see here that I still relied on the show's style somewhat. I wasn't sure how to interpret some of their features in my more realistic style and frankly... I wasn't sure if it would work as well if I did go that direction.

VoiceActressKurutta In reply to Phageous [2011-12-29 19:34:25 +0000 UTC]

Well it works out great anyway~!

Probably. Although I've noticed a few times I've right left to right too... hmmm.. I DUNNO. I think they just look better with him on the left anyway. Like, I tried to picture the show animation of him being on the right and it just doesn't look as good. I dunno why.

But it's good that you still based it off the show's style, 'cause now it's like a really interesting mix. And honestly, I don't blame you. I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to draw them realistically. I'm just totally amazed that you got their face shapes to work.

Yaaaaay for accidental aesthetics!~

I dunno man, art is a strange thing.

I tried to keep the face shapes and proportions generally the same, I just gave Two Brains more of a chin (and LRW less of a chin XD).

VoiceActressKurutta In reply to Phageous [2011-12-29 19:42:41 +0000 UTC]

DEFINITELY.

I never thought Lady Redundant Woman had that much of an exaggerated face on the show, but I think you got her face shape perfectly. I like how you did their eyes too. And I think they look like the right ages too. 'Cause some of my art makes them look really old or really young somehow, but this is like perfect~.

She has a huuuuge chin for some reason. And thanks! Though I actually feel like LRW could stand to be a weee bit older here. But ah well, I'm good with it.

VoiceActressKurutta In reply to Phageous [2011-12-29 20:04:14 +0000 UTC]

Huh... I guess I didn't really notice. Maybe she just seems normal when compared with, oh, say... MR. BIG'S CHIN. XP

I actually think the show makes her look older than she's supposed to be. Actually, the first episode with her makes her look REALLY old, and kind of actually evil and mentally ill. But she acts like she isn't all that old, so I think she's actually supposed to be in her mid 20s somewhere. But that just my theory. Everyone has different theories.

Phageous In reply to VoiceActressKurutta [2011-12-31 00:56:10 +0000 UTC]

Well she just has a large chin for a woman I guess.

*shrugs* I dunno man. She always kinda seemed like she was in her early 40s or something to me.

VoiceActressKurutta In reply to Phageous [2011-12-31 02:10:13 +0000 UTC]

GOSH, I don't think she's anywhere near that old. I think if she was that old they'd animate her with wrinkles around her eyes. But I think how old characters look depends on their personality. 'Cause Dupey was being so sparkly-eyed in that one episode that she looked like she could've been in her early 20s. But Beatrice is so grumpy all the time that I think it makes her seem older... I DUNNO.

That could be it too. Sometimes she speaks higher or lower for different reasons, so it's hard to say. I've noticed her voice gets a lot rougher once she actually transforms from Beatrice to Lady Redundant Woman.
