Description
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY! HAVE SOME GREEN GOODNESS!I've been doing a lot of chores lately - school-related things, cleaning, thank-you notes (full of love but tiring)... and I just needed to do something I WANTED to do.
And I've been wanting to do a lolghey take on the iconic Sailor Kiss for a long time... And hey. Elphaba and Galinda are amazings and my favorite fictional canon-lesbian pairing... quite possibly ever.
So yes, reference and idea is here - [link]
Art =
Characters = L. Frank Baum, Gregory Maguire
The Sailor Kiss = Sailor and Nurse of Awesomeness. I enjoy them greatly.

You're so welcome.
Sorry for filling up your inbox, but I suppose smiles are good. All my comments yesterday were because I managed to get through about 600 old deviations, some of which were yours and were comment-worthy.

Thanks. I love your messages as well, of course.

Beautiful pose and colors! I like, how you've drawn their hair, the pink dress and the glowing magic wand!
How about a pic with Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Nathan Explosion??? That would be totally weird, wouldn't it?! (I think, they'd kill me, right?
)

Thank you so much! AHh, I'm so glad that ye like this one! I really, really enjoyed doing this.
And HEEE! That would be awesomes. And I'd do it, if I didn't have such a qualm with splitting up the Skwisgaar/Toki PERFECTION.
Tempted to do it with Pickles and Nathan though. >D

I like the combo of colors on this one: green/black, green/peach/gold, gold/purple, purple/black, green/purple... everywhere I look, they look good with each other. The grey BG lets me notice and focus on that, too.
And like other people said, I like the way you did the tendrils. They're like awesome Slinkies.
Can't see much funky with this one -- just the green one's face is a wee bit odd. Very easily forgivable to me, though.
Cool take on an iconic picture.

Thank you so much! I'm really always just so genuinely happy when ye like an art of mine. I respect yer opinion quite greatly.
D: I know, Elphie's face is "squishy" as i've been told and agree with... and I am going to fix it. Just not entirely sure how.

Do it with Pickles. He is very Irish. :3
(And cuz you left yourself wide open for this one: I'D DO PICKLES ANY TIME, IFYAKNOWHATIMEAN)
Loving the pose and the tentacles. And the leg that's starting to lift up for the classic fairy tale pose vs. the very sexy "dark" pose... GAWD I LOVE YOU. <3333

Well, you know how they say pickles go well with everything.... *nudge nudge, eyebrow wiggle*
The first time I saw him do that little half-smile of his I yelled "YES PLEASE!" really loud. Scared the bejeebus out of my brother. XD
IT'S PRETTY. X3
I need to see this play. Seriously. I tried reading the book a long time ago and failed at it.

OHHH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR!
And oh man. In Bluesklok, when he's all GLOWING-sunburned, he has this... dark blank-ish STARE. It's... sort of creepy but sort of hawt at the same time. xD
YES see the play. Musical. It's a hell of a lot more... lively and HAPPY than the book, which is super-dark (the way I likes it. >D), and the Gelphie (Galinda/Elphaba) is toned down... but definitely still there. x3 I saw it for my birthday a couple years ago and ADORED. I would kill to be Elphaba someday. (Musical theatre major.
)

God I loved that episode. "Does anyone have any sunscreen? I'm.. I'm very Irish." And, y'know, the guys are all shirtless for about 90% of the time. Mmm...
I like lively and happy! And musicals! My dad thinks musicals are the thought-spawn of the devil hisself, so we argue about that a LOT. Whenever I'm feeling particularly evil I hum the songs from Oklahoma juuuust loud enough for him to hear but not loud enough for him to yell at me to stop.

I KNOW.
I even like watching them walk around in their far-too-tight extremely S&M-esque Dethfashions. And Pickles has that weird little smirk-giggle in that one too, when he says "heh-heh - DOODZ. We're on a diet." (Why do I remember specific instances of his giggle-smirk?! xD)
PFFF. Musicals are the thought-spawn of the devil? PISH-POSH, WHAT IN BLAZES IS THIS TOMFOOLERY? Musicals are some of my favorite modes of expression and storytelling. Especially when they poke fun at themselves. x3 I enjoy making fun of them too, but in the way ye tease a good friend and ye both know yer just kidding. (I do the same with Star Trek and The Lord of the Rings and various other geeky shit like that.)

I <3 Pickles' giggle-smirk. Although... *looks around, whispers* I think S'n'B Pickles looks like a ho. And not the good kind of ho. It's just... so sparkly. And fluffy. And dreadlocks are so much hotter.
UNDERHANDED SKULDUGGERY! My friend and I do that all the time, where we insult each other but mean it in a friendly way. Then it turned out that quite a few people thought we hated each other's guts.

omg, you NEED to go back and work on the green person's face just a little bit cos it's smooshy ... kinda sideways ... the reason i say you MUST do it is because everything else is COMPLETELY AWESOME and it's like nuuuu .... just one thing that's not quite right ... D:
but like, the LEGS and the black tentacles things and the supporting arm <3 YES. Nailed them. Nailed everything. Except that face >.> which is the trickiest angle to draw so I may be evil to say this, but wth :3 I AM PUSHING YOU TO MOAR EXCELLENCE OKAY <3

hmm, I bet I can red-line it for you, it's so much easier to pick at stuff like that when you haven't been working on the picture & looking at it for ages. It's kind of ... both eyebrows on one side of her face, lol XD I think like ... the head shape looks like her face is more side on/angled, but the features look like we're looking down at the top of her forehead? Does that make sense? So if you leave the face shape - which is great, don't change the face shape! - and just change the features. So you could get rid of the right eye & eyebrow and move the left eye and eyebrow to where they were, but just a little bit further up. I can see it so clearly in my head I think I will line it for you tonight and hopefully it will work and I'm not just delusional lol.
You're welcome, it's awesome! (no, I do mean it )
