Description
(silly dA and its title limits forcing me to spell like a rappersqueeee I went to see Jet live in concert yesterday night and they were incredible yay. I'm still sort of on a gleehigh from that night, especially since I got so many pictures in my head during the whole thing.
As far as 'sound' goes, Jet's fast songs (namely Cold Hard Bitch, in particular) always make me think of Penny, since she's so in-your-face and RAR but not in an unlikeable way xD and when they were playing Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is... well, this picture pretty much drew itself. Penny being forward, Wings taken aback but not complaining
and I am sorry to everyone I owe art to for taking forever. x_x things have been a bit mad around here.
(by the way... any Jet fans in the house? Apparently, among the people I know, the only other person that likes them as much as I do is my brother. >>; )
Penny and Wings are characters played on Mushroom Grove.

This is adorable! I love the shading in this and the way you defined their muscles with the shading. c: Very nice, as usual!

Hee, thank you. Penny's muscles were more defined in this one since she's the courser (and Wings has more markings xDD).

It seems we once again have the same taste in music! x]
I love Jet, but I only have the Get Born album, unfortunately. Hopefully I can get some cash soon and go on a CD-buying spree. There are so many I want! D:
Anyway, this picture is ADORABLE and I love the smoothness of it all. <3 Penny, especially. :]

oh man, Shine On is an awesome album. All the best in getting it! I bought Get Born and my brother bought Shine On and we shared them, so it was a joint effort on our part to get both xD
<3 thanks muchly.

Fweeee.
Awesome. Seriously. You've got your trademark ability to paint a story with a single picture, and to have the interaction between two characters just spot-on, COMBINED with gorgeous coloring (I love that shading) and absolutely fabulous expression.
Anything anyone ever needed to know about both characters, BANG, right there. <3

*giggles* I'm just a fan, dear. Just a fan. *winks*
I'm also listening to Jet - I am seriously digging on this. Bring it on Back is my favorite so far, though Rollover DJ is a VERY close second. I'm not a fan of the falsetto in Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, but I love it when they kick it into high gear. LOVE that beat! And I agree, the screaminess is...melodic? *eyebrow quirks* Okay, that sounds absurd, but it's definitely not your normal screaming music. This has the uptempo beats I love, combined with singable lyrics (mostly), which is my -favorite-.

YAY IT SENT! gosh, gmail and yahoo both kept giving me problems on both Safari and Firefox when I tried to send that sampler. I'm glad it came through and that you enjoyyy! yeah, it just makes you want to bawl and scream along with them, doesn't it? always happy to share the Jet love. <3
Your taste in music is sounding more and more like mine, haha! We'll need to exchange songs as well as books at this rate

*laughs* Absolutely! Do you have any other titles you'd recommend I look up (Jet only at this point, to keep it simple) from iTunes?
Also, I forget, do you watch my scraps? I uploaded that kyfaw pic (inks only) and thought you'd be interested. ^^

Right now I am jamming to Rollover DJ, hahar
Are you thinking of buying the albums at all? or just individual songs? as far as songs go... let's see. If you liked Bring It On Back and Rollover DJ the most, then I think you'd enjoy Get What You Need, Come On Come On, Holiday, Get Me Outta Here and Lazy Gun.
other songs I personally like: Are You Gonna Be My Girl is their big hit - appeared in an iPod ad and on The OC, if I'm not wrong... it got overplayed for me back in 2004, but it's still catchy and lots of fun. Eleanor is sweet, low-key, Beatles-y. Kings Horses and Shine On are also quieter and slower, I really like Kings Horses particularly. and That's All Lies is just more of that rip-roaring feelgood rawk that they do so well - the first time I heard it was at their show, and I'm quite sure it was the song they opened with, so I have a very good impression of it indeed <3
I have been rather lax about checking my devwatch recently I'm afraid x_o but thanks for the heads-up!! *goes to see*

Nice job, the look on Wings' face is kinda funny. I noticed you made Penny a little lighter too.

That's actually Penny's original colour. I was just never able to get at the first picture I'd ever drawn of her to eyedropper it, but now I have so yay.
thank you! <3
