Description As Foghorn Leghorn would say, 'I'm shocked, I say, shocked! at the utter lack of Angelique fan-art. Something had to be done...

And yes, that Bath - booth, and the sign is not something I made up. It's in the extended edition of the movie. I wonder what services 'French surprise' includes - for 6 cents, it sounds like a real bargain.

If you don't know her - where have you been? Rango came, saw and conquered. Easily the best movie of this year, it's an incredible mix of essential western, (often morbid) humour and surrealist animation, starring all sorts of anthropomorphic desert animals. What more can you ask for?

And while I do have a soft spot for Beans, it is Angelique, the Mayor's sexy secretary who is the sexiest thing in this movie. While she has only very few lines, she appears a few times in the background, and like most characters, she has incredibly expressive animation... In this case, being incredibly seductive while appearing to be totally bored out of her mind. I just love how she is completely unfazed by all the crazyness around her - she only loses her cool and appears genuinely worried when the Mayor orders his goons to kill Beans, showing us at least that while there is no love lost between the two women, she is not cold-hearted.

Considering the incredible amount of detail in the source material, I choose to color this one with pencils instead of Photoshop, something I haven't done in years... and it shows...

And before anyone asks - yeah, of course I'll revisit Angelique later, and perhaps show you what a 'French Surprise' is. I am the master of "Rule 34 for Obscure Furry Characters", am I not? (Though next time, I'll stick to Photoshop coloring. My hands are aching...)

One question though; Her wiki biography says she's married to one of Bad Bill's sons and has three daughters, but why weren't any of them mentioned?

HUH?!? Where did you see that? I think that's just fanfic. Do you see Bad Bill as the kind who marries... or you think Angelique would work as a high-class prostitute (the final scene clearly shows that... French Surprise and all that) if she was married?

It was on her wiki bio here rango.wikia.com/wiki/Angelique and it didn't say Bad Bill. It said it was one of his sons.

But I still wasn't sure, since none of the characters are ever mentioned. So I thought I'd ask. Of course, now that you mention it, Bad Bill sure doesn't seem like the type to marry. And its not likely any possible sons of his would marry either.

Guess it was removedΒ  now as it's not there anymore. But anyway, sadly the movie is all there is what we have for reference. That and the "making of" book, I bought that.

Really? That's strange. Perhaps the information was incorrect. At any rate, its fine with me. Angelique is still cool.

I thought you already knew her... If you haven't seen Rango yet, watch it! It's an amazingly thoughtful, funny, and surrealistic re-imagination of classic westerns - with anthro animals.

Thanks! I used to color with pencils only, but it's taxing on the wrists, let me tell you...

Oh yes; coloring by hand can be lots of fun. But as you said, it can eventually wear out your hand and your wrist. Make no mistake about it.

I should really R34 Angelique now... it has been 2 years since Rango was shown in cinemas, and no-one did, as hard as it is to believe...

True. Still though, Rango was a pretty cool movie. I loved it. Awesome CGI, great characters, and I like how they combined elements of the wild west into it. And that snake dude was totally badass! He was the best villain I've seen since the chameleon from Monsters Inc!

Oh yeah. I am surprised how much impact Rattlesnake Jake had despite not having many scenes. Rango was maybe my favourite movie in 2011 - I have watched it countless times. The humour, the surreality, the character designs... I even bought the "making of" artbook. I have some scans up on my FA account.

I have a question, what is that black thing on the top of her head ? I was looking at that in the movie, its kind of bothering me O_o

Swift-Nimblefoot In reply to Astral-Wingz [2011-12-18 11:59:33 +0000 UTC]

It's her hair, actually. She uses some really potent fixative spay to have it formed into three wave-like curls, if you check the close-ups, they shine like they are covered in laquer.

Thanks, I usually try to give back the look of the particular movie/cartoon/comic that I draw, but with Angelique, the source material is so high-res CGI, I just went with the hand-drawn style, I knew I could not give back such detail.

Your welcome. Same here it takes a whole lot of practice for me to draw how she actually looks since she's all 3D in the movie. But it came out good ^_^ so I might submit it on here one day.

Did you use Prisimacolor pencils? I use the Scholar brand, but I just got them for my birthday and haven't scanned my two pictures yet.

No, I am using some ancient Faber-Castell pencils I got like, 20 years ago or so... As I said, I stopped using pencils for coloring since around 2005.
