Haha thanks! I plan to make a watercolor or something of the Madame Butterfly one, so it's just a sketch. I also wanted to do a dramatic one of Pinkerton holding her during her last breaths, and she's slipping away, still loves him, and he's realized what he's done.

Haha thanks. There are a lot of sketches I've done in my notebooks that didn't make it onto dA. These characters are always on the sides pointing at things and offering their thoughts.

Haha certain characters get meta on me. Well, at least you can have a bit of control over them, like those "Into the portal" drawings you've done, where you can choose to open the door or to keep it closed.
Thank you!

squonkhunter In reply to barmybritishbird [2012-10-16 20:04:50 +0000 UTC]

He hates being called cute, even as a kitten. XD And he hates being turned into things in general.
After HMS is completed (or maybe while it's still going on, depending on how long it takes) I'm going to do a spin-off collaborative effort featuring Clive's and Sridar's early years as knights and they go on lots of stupid and silly adventures like, well, being turned into a kitten. It also explores how they became friends, because Sridar hated Clive at first and found him annoying. Clive also had to learn how to live with Sridar and it's interesting because they really have changed and they've rubbed off on each other to a point now where they're the best of friends and have been for twenty years. So the drawing in this dump that's up towards the top and says "mischief ahoy?" is one of my favorites, because I don't often draw them together and I really should.
