Description
Full title: THREE CHEERS FOR SWEET IRONY!Drawing Process: [link]
EDIT: OMG thanks for the zillion faves you people are amazing!
A request piece done for depicting the three main characters of her TDI Genderbent rock n' roll story IRONICA. Left to right we have: Gwenael (Gwen) who is the boyfriend of Donna (Duncan) who is the love interest of Carter (Courtney). Gwenael's perpetually wary of his girlfriend's flirtiness; Carter's so madly in love with her he doesn't particularly notice. Who will Donna choose?
Since this triangle has so many fans on each side, I tried to go for an (almost) evenly balanced picture. (me = DxC fan, so there's small tilt
Each character outfit references some famous apparel worn by different rock bands:
1. Donna's jacket, of course, is a tribute to keytaro's favorite artists My Chemical Romance and their iconic marching band costumes worn for their 'Black Parade' album [link] I threw in the Avril Lavigne inspired tutu skirt to make her outfit more feminie, funky, and original [link]
2. Carter's shirt/tie combo were inspired by the wardrobe of Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and what is widely considered Green Day's iconic look [link]
3. Gwenael's outfit is modeled after an outfit worn by Shiny Toy Guns' keyboard player Jeremy Dawson in their music video for "Ghost Town" where they're all portrayed as cartoons [link] I saw it and fell in love with it for Gwenael.
The pose loosely references the True Blood cover of The Rolling Stones [link] but um, I tried to make it MUCH LESS RACEY. MUCH LESS.

I'm a HUGE DxC supporter, but strangely, I prefer Gwenael & Donna basiclly because I know what Gwenael goes through. Overall, I love this picture, the colors & the texture and the background. The expressions are also epic.

I know exactly how you feel
Normally, I'm DxC all the way but for IRONICA, I'm more on the fence since Gwenael and Carter have opposite roles from Gwen and Courtney in the TD series. Gahh, I don't know who I want her to be withhhh...
But thanks for leaving a comment. I tried a bunch of different expressions before I decided on those and then tweaked those a zillion times to get the perfect look. I'm particularly proud of how closely Gwenael turned out resembling Gwen xD And the background is meant to mirror Donna's tatoo, I don't know if anyone other than Rina caught that lol

I know. You know how can it all be resolved? They ditch Donna and make some sweet Gwenael/Carter love.
Oh, and seriously? I just never paid that much attention to Donna's tatto.

Really? That awesome full body tatoo is probably one of my favorite parts of her

Thanks, and glad you like it so much. I tried to make it sexy without having to put a mature warning on it so hopefully that worked

ps: i love you!

StrayPhoenix In reply to keytaro [2010-12-26 08:52:12 +0000 UTC]
Gah, sorry for the delay in replying, I was deprived of internet for being bad
But now I'm back and I wanted to say thanks for all the words of praise! I worked really hard on this so it's good to know that you liked it as much as you did (MCR FTW!).
And as for spoiling, I think with all the awesome your produce on a regular basis, I'd say we're just about even lol (You saw my drawing process. You could probably do 20 great drawing in the span of time it takes me to start and finish one )
For the concert, the lovely Ms. Chelsea Dagger will be attending [link] You can find a link to the story she's in here: [link] which details her basic attitude and the color schemes for her outfit. I've been working on a TDI version of her to post myself but I haven't had the time to finish. In my story 'Courtney vs. The World', she's Duncan's last ex-girlfriend before he goes on TDI and dates Courtney and her stereotype is basically the 'good girl gone bad'. I imagine her IRONICA version to be a girl too, Donna's ex-girlfriend when they were in juvie together. (She went through a girl/girl phase that both Gwenael and Carter LOVE hearing about xD)
PS: I love you too Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

I was going to write this as a critique, but apparently only Premium Deviants can do that...
But this is fantastic. I love how Carter and Gwenael's color schemes are identical despite the fact that they're complete opposites. Their faces are great too: Carter's happy about the situation because he can have a little of Donna as opposed to none, whereas Gwenael's concerned BECAUSE Carter has a little of Donna. The pose may be equal, after all, but equal is only relative...
It's interesting how you did Carter's mouth. That's not a common look in the TD series but it fits in anyway and conveys exactly what's going through his head.
Donna herself looks beautiful. I absolutely adore her outfit (though I wouldn't wear that one, lol) and the pose is great. Much less racy. Much less
Good choice on the background too. I like how it mimics Donna's tattoo.
Take that, devART.

OMG I'm so glad to hear that you think so!
It's always such a treat when an artist I admire takes the time to comment on my work. Or thinks it's great. Or looks at it AT ALL xD
Thanks again for the comment and the fave!
