Description Hello, dear friends and watchers! I am sorry for having kept you waiting for so long for my new art, but this one was hard for me to make, and I was rather busy lately.
Anyway, today I have FINALLY finished my new work, and, yes, this one is also related to Nerd Corps's "Slugterra" TV Series.
My art is based on a scene from the very first episode of "Slugterra", called "The world beneath our feet. Part 1" This is practically the first official meeting of the two out of four main characters, Eli Shane and Trixie Sting. However, as usual  I've used two screenshots to create this scene, so you won't find it in the episode. Surprisingly, very few Slugterra fans and fangirls support Eli and Trixie as  a promising future pair.  Everybody seems to pair Eli with their OCs, which drives me absolutely mad, as I really don't understand, WHY? No one argues against for example Belle  be with Beast or Aurora and Philip, or any other Disney Princess/Prince pair, and no one tries to pair their OCs with them, right? Why  would Eli and Trixie make any difference and get so much hate?! In my opinion, they look quite harmonically together, and I do hope, they will develop their friendship into something more in the future. (Slugterra is not over yet, thankfully).
By the way, today is 's Birthday! She is one of those  few rare (unfortunately) true Slugterra fans, who, just like myself, seem to support Eli's and Trixie's relationship. Therefore, , Happy Birthday once again, my friend! You may consider this my art as a present for you!
I am sorry, if I was rude in the comment. I needed to write it out of me somehow, otherwise, the rage was going  to burn me to ashes.  I hope, you enjoy my work anyway.

Yeah, I am going to agree with you. Eli does seem a bit nervous, when he first meets Trixie.

Pretty sure Eli x Trixie fans would really love it if Eli were to Trixie what Aerrow (voiced by Eli's VA) was to Piper [Storm Hawks].
Now those two had A LOT of chemistry. Always sharing glances like this ALL the time, hugging, holding hands, there was also this time in which Aerrow held Piper "bridal style" (kinda), and when he gave her a gift. Oh, yeah, not forgetting the times in which his friends were in danger and he'd not move a finger to help, but when it was her, he'd act immediately. LMAO, can't be unseen. (And they were only 14).

Thank you very much for the comment!
I unfortunately haven't seen Storm Hawks, but I've head fans talking about its similarity to Slugterra. Like that Aerrow had been voiced by the same actor, as Eli, and some more.
And as Slugterra isn't finished yet (there is going to be Season 4, according to rumors), I do hope, Eli and Trixie will end up together.
They would make a perfect couple, in my opinion. In the FUTURE, when they grow up a little, that is.  Some people claim, that they don't have much chemistry in the show, but  if you watch the series more attentively, you can notice  that they DO have chemistry: the exchange of looks, soft touch on the shoulder, smiles, jokes, a couple of hugs.  It just very subtle, which is really good and clever, considering their young age.  
I personally hope for a happy ending for these two.

I see, it's because from some comments, I saw people saying Eli is "cold". I haven't watched much of Slugterra, but the few episodes I saw did show he wasn't as compassionate as Aerrow, considering both are leaders of their teams.
Haha, that chemistry is similar to Aerrow and Piper too, then, though they're probably not as close because Aerrow and Piper definitely knew each other much longer, so (the show never shows when those two first meet, so). Besides all those supportive and joking moments, there's also the moments in which Aerrow is jealous too. XD
So, yeah, here's hoping Eli will become a little more like him then, for the fans of the couple. Because, seriously, I'm sure you'd all love having him say something like "If we have to die, then at least we'll die together", like Aerrow did to Piper in the last episode of Storm Hawks. XD

Tom-Masons-admirer In reply to 123leyang321 [2015-09-27 15:13:34 +0000 UTC]

Eli isn't cold. There was an episode in the TV series, called "It comes by night", where Trixie was hurt, and Eli looked very concerned and sad about it, so he is compassionate enough.
Regarding  jealousy, I can't say, there were such moments in Slugterra.  Trixie SORT  OF SEEMED jealous once or twice, though.  
And Eli would have never said anything like  that! He'd rather sacrifice himself to save his friends, but  would never allow them to risk their lives . I just want him to  openly hug  or kiss Trixie in  the end of Season 4. That would be great!

I see.
LOL, but Aerrow does sacrifice himself for the team and risks his life for them too. Thing is that in the scene he says that, he and Piper are hanging on top of an abyss, about to be blasted off a pipe they're holding onto for dear life by the villains. Piper suddenly lets go of the pipe and starts falling first, so Aerrow lets go as well and grabs her wrist just in time to prevent her from killing herself. And it's then that he says that, because they had no way out, they were going to die no matter what, and he couldn't bear watching her die first, so he'd have them die together.

The TV show also sort of ended on a cliffhanger, but then three movies have come out and  a new season is coming up!

Eh, not that much, really. :/
Yes, but you guys got 3 (short) movies, which are the equivalent to 6 episodes, so make that 45 eps, and you'll get another season, so, considering the cartoon has 3 seasons now and each season has 13 eps (kind of speculating here, correct me if I'm wrong), then that'd be 58 episodes. And you have a bigger possibility of getting an actual ending and not being left on a cliffhanger, while SH will be lost in the limbo forever, lol. So yeah, still 2 plus! XD

I hardly can be called a professional artist really. In fact, I don't really consider myself an artist, as I don't actually draw. I prefer calling myself a restorer instead. This is who I am. I always use a screenshot or a photo for the reference or "base". Without it I wouldn't have been able to make any arts.
But nonetheless, thank you so much again for your sweet and kind words.
It means the entire world to me!

Thank you very much for your comment. Firstly, I am grateful that you've been relatively polite, unlike someone else. For this I bow to you
I both agree and disagree with you.  
I agree that Eli and Trixie don't show much emotions  to each other in the series. They are close friends, no doubt, but not more. For now.  Frankly speaking, I  didn't see them as a pair at first  too, even when I watched first two seasons. However, in the third season  Trixie actually started showing some soft feelings for Eli. She hugged him twice, if you remember, even thrice in the episodes "The Return" and in the last episode "Light as Day" (two times in one episode, if counting the group hug in the very end). Besides, she was worried for him, when Eli was in danger or "have gotten lost" in the episode "Dark as night". She looked absolutely scared and terrified, much more scared, that if she treated Eli as just a friend.
Moreover, it's Eli, who looks rather "cold" in the series, showing soft emotions only to his slugs. However, even he has a character development in the series.   When Trixie hugged him for the first time, he just looked embarrassed and surpised and did nothing in return, but in the last episode he hugged Trixie back  and rather tightly, which can be a hint for the fact that he started developing some sympathy towards her.
You've mentioned that I had had to use two screenshots to create this scene to make Eli look "correctly" at Trixie, and you are wrong here. I had to use two screenshots to make TRIXIE look "properly" at Eli. If you remember the first episode, she had a different reaction to Eli's brave trick.
Furthermore, there is a perfect explanation for the fact  that Eli and Trixie don't show mch feelings for each other. They are very young. They are ONLY 15 years old. Eli has to behave as a grown up, as he's lost his dad, he has to be a leader of the team and save the world of Slugterra, he has to make decisions, which gives me extra reason to respect him. He behaves far beyond his age, but it doesn't mean he knows anything about...stuff, which a certain artist (I am sure, you know her too) loves to draw. And this is the exact thing which drives me mad, so much that I obviously can't refrain myself sometimes. I hate characters be twisted, and  especially, I... can't handle, to say it softly, arts, where young cartoon characters (Disney or Slugterra ones) are forced to do... "grown up stuff", let's call it that way.  I consider it an insult to original movies and their fans. 
I've seen a lot of arts, like this, and I have gotten tired  from them. If you want your OC go to Slugterra, fine. You can even create your own new gang to protect it,  by uniting with other Deviants' OCs. What I don't understand, and what drives me mad the most is why ALL female OCs must be romantically involved with Eli? You want your OC be a new member of the Shane GAng, fine, but why must you foce a romance? Can't you just leave him alone? You can make your OC just be friends with him, right?  I am sorry, I will never understand it.  I said in another comment, Eli is an ACTION hero, not a lover boy.

The last thing, which I wanted to say is that Slugterra thankfully isn't over yet, as far as I know, and Eli and Trixie have time to develop their relationship or maybe Nerd Corps will come up with something else? Who knows? This is why I said in my comment that I saw Eli and Trixie as a well-balanced FUTURE pair, and I see no reason to hate it, like some other deviants do.
I am sorry for the long comment.

well im glad i got a reply. i know a lot and i do mean a LOT of OC get paired with Eli (and who can blame them lol) anyways i think the point is to these people is that its more of a "what if...." situation. like my Oc Lace for example, she use to involved with eli, but Lace would never commit and leave. she would agree that eli is a hero of slugterra, she is not that kind of person what would be suited in a gang or become a hero of slugterra. so they became great friends instead. when i draw lace with the gang i dont connect it to anyway to the show (kind of like a alternate universe) and if i do fan art based on what happens in the show.... its just them (no ocs )

if i paired my oc with a canon character ( its mainly for entertainment and based on a what if too, still nothing to do with the show).

there a lot of ocs and ive met great new friends through the love of the show but pairing there oc with eli dont make them less of a fan that you and I, we do this for creativity, to show our drawing and to get better along the way and we do get better and we will keep loving this show more and more. i really hope the show dont finish. nerd corps are wonderful people with wonderful shows and the way we can be fans is show our love for the show, being a wonderful community.

thank you for your time and i wont bother you again, your opinion, my opinion and everyone opinion matters. i dont care i just really want everyone to get along. we're quite a small fandom and a tiny community full of talented artists and writters and we all matter to this show.

Tom-Masons-admirer In reply to Jadeykinns [2014-12-11 06:41:50 +0000 UTC]

That's all right. You didn't bother me. I am always happy to talk to a sensible person, who doesn't just burst into accusations and insults, but also can listen to others' opinions as well.  Indeed, everyone has got their opinions, and maybe you are right  about the need for all of Slugterra fans geting along somehow, as,yes, there are not many of us, comparing with other fandoms.  
I think I wouldn't be against "alternative universe"  or "what if..." fan arts, as you said, but the problem is, that those artists who draw A LOT of arts with Eli and their OCs together, don't mark it as alternative universe or "what if..." situations.  Especially, I am talking about a certain " fan pairing", which seem to have gotten quite a lot of fans for no special reason for ME (that artist has even created a group for them, so you can probably guess, whom I am talking about. )
To be honest, I am just SCARED by this fact. And I can explain why. Because of the popularity of this....pairing and so much love they seem to get from the majority of Slugterra fans here on DA, I am afraid, that those people will start taking that pair as an ultimate "real"one,  actually forgetting the original show and movies and Eli's true hero personality. This is what I am scared of, and this fear is probably the main reason, why the fan arts with Eli and OCs bother me so much.  
I agree, you can't blame fangirls fall in love with Eli, we all love him (it's hard not to), but why making him a lover-boy and create rather embarrassing arts with him?   I am sorry, maybe I am too shy and you will make an argument that those arts aren't thst embarrassing, but I just told you my opinion and fears.  
I hope you understand. I apologise, if I sounded rude. I tried to speak calmly.

its ok i totally understand, i agree there are quite alot of ocs that are paired with eli but i cant really stop them, they dont stop me from drawing the things that i like and i shouldn't do the same. i want to respect there drawings, its there drawing ability that im more interested in and not what they drawed. you should turn the negative comments into a positive. people should love your ability to draw (i like your drawing) and not what your drawing of. be positive is what i tell them. if people dont like trixie and eli thats fine, its up to them (as i said i dont really see much ships in the show but i dont mind what people like, there choice) you like elixie.... and that dont bother me one bit. i know about who your talking about with the oc and eli that has a group for them.... dont bother me one bit either. were a small fandom and when something goes down, that someone dont like something.... everyone knows so just be careful on what you say.

i think it the part where you said" your not a TRUE fan if you dont ship elixie " that bothered people and got people mad (i admit i was pretty mad too) they dont care that you like elixie and you dont like oc x eli ship... your opinion 

also thanks for the watch. it was nice to talk in a sensible manner but i did get mad and the only way to get through would be to talk like a grown up.

Oh, hello, Jadey!
I've never said, that those, who don't support Eli and Trixie together were not Slugterra fans. What I said (or rather what I wanted to say) was that those who do support them were true Slugterra fans indeed, without a doubt, as they don't twist the canon characters and don't make them out of character, and it is not the same thing. It may SEEM similar, but not the same.
It is really not my fault that some people thought, I was talking about them and "abused" them, though in fact I said NOTHING about them and had absolutely no intention to abuse anyone. Just in my opinion, the one really can't be called a TRUE fan, if he or she twists the characters in any way and makes them out of character. Such people could be called fans, yes, I don't argue with this, but not TRUE ones, sorry. 
Besides, I told you, I didn't see much connection between Eli and Trixie in the show too, but that could be done on purpose, so Nerd Corps would have a good reason to make movies or a new season of the series to develop the characters. We'll see, what will happen in the future.
And I do hate this "Elixie" word. It's really stupid. Is it so hard to write "Eli and Trixie"? But that's another thing.
Anyway, you are welcome. I will try to be even more careful wth words, though I always am, to avoid being misunderstood again. 
I have enjoyed our little conversation nonetheless (this was a reason for me to watch you in fact. ), and I do hope, we'll manage to talk more in the future. (Maybe about something, which we would both agree on. )

I think your restoration looks great as always, and I love what you have done with the shadows on the characters, it really reminds me to an original scene (I know you used two screenshots, but still ).

I'm afraid I have to disagree a bit with you on the "Elixie" part. I think everybody can to create all the kind pairings they want and still be true fans like you and I. Also, I guess one of the reasons of that pairing unpopularity it the harshness of some of their supporters, that have insulted and bashed horribly some artists, just because they didn't draw/write about their "One True Pairing" 

I don't know if Nerdcorps is going to make their relationship go further, but I'm glad to see that, at least by now, they haven't forced a romance just because they're main characters. That breaks a few clichés y'know XD

I have nothing against EliXTrixie, but I wanted to make my point hope you understand and take no offense by it

Thank you for your comment, my friend.  And thank you for being honest. I appreciate it. 
I am also glad Nerd Corps didn't foce romance between the two main characters so far, because, don't forget, both of them are ONLY 15 years old. This is why I am getting so mad with a certain artist , whom both you and I know. She forces Eli and her OC do stuff, which Eli doesn't know (or even doesn't care) about!  He is an ACTION hero, not a lover-boy!
Maybe I care too much, I don't know. But I personally can't stand the original characters from movies or cartoons be twisted in any kind. Especially in THAT kind.
