Description Sooooo, I know that for her request, Ells asked if I would do something funny with my CopperSmith ship, and I AM working on something funny with them but I am not sure if I'm happy with the results at present.  This I drew to make myself happy, primarily because my husband told me that Katy Perry's song "Unconditionally" reminds him strongly of this pairing every time he hears the song. And really I agree with him.

Leslie pretty much accepts everything about Luiz as it's thrown at her, and cares about him regardless. That love never wavers or dims, and just continues to grow stronger over time. (Hints at where "Courting Vipers" is going? Why yes, yes indeed.) It's not that she necessarily doesn't care, but considers a lot of what he does to be in his past, and accepts that he makes mistakes and is flawed. And she loves him anyway.

I imagine it takes Luiz a little more time to really come to love Leslie the same way, probably because he finds it hard to accept that she's just that genuine about how she feels for him. I mean, I can't see him really believing right away that anyone would legitimately love him like that. But that doesn't mean that he wouldn't reciprocate it given time.

I noticed also that I've drawn him blushing often. I really need to switch it up a bit. Not to mention his eyes scanned way too dark this time around. But hey, I like how Leslie's turned out here. Yes, she IS a bit older, in case you were wondering. She's not quite eighteen at the start of "Courting Vipers", and she's going to be around twenty-two or twenty-three by the end of the fic.

Well, now you have evidence to the contrary! I've got a huge soft spot for him, hence shipping him with my girl Leslie~.

*rolls around* Splendid!!

I know how it is, like me with Tommy Terror, Kaldur and Icicle Jr. A soft spot, and then ship.

I see the Harley Quinn vibe, but less wild and more caring. I love this!

Oooh! You know, I think you might have been the first person to draw a parallel between Leslie and Harley! I kind of like it! Thank you! X3 And I'm happy to hear you love this~.

This is adorable. I apologize for how late this is, by the way.  
I hope you know I ship it pretty hard now. The description alone sold me - it's so adorable and sweet... And just perfect for Copperhead, I think.

^^~ You're very welcome, my dear! And no need for apology; it's not that late!
X3 I'm delighted to hear that, of course! I always love introducing people to this pairing; shameless plug-girl, that's me.    But no, in all seriousness, it makes me very happy to hear that you like this pairing now, especially if just because this piece's description sold you on it.
Thank you so much, darling!

I could definitely imagine that their love is going to be a hell of a rollercoaster for Leslie, and Copperhead for that matter!
That is why I love this damn ship
I really like how you drew Leslie older, really dig her with long hair!
This was definitely nice to see more CopperSmith art!

Yoru-the-Rogue In reply to DerbyMask [2014-06-17 02:27:17 +0000 UTC]

This is very true. I plan on making sure it's evident that these two aren't going to have the easiest time in their relationship.
D'aaawww! X3 It makes me happy to know that you love them for this reason!
Oooh, thank you so much! I'm glad older Leslie is being so well-received! I do picture her having longer, more elegant hair as she gets older (and clearly as you can tell, by this point she's stopped putting pink streaks in it.)
^^~ Why thank you! Hopefully with any luck, I can get another chapter of "Courting Vipers" posted before too long!

*rolls away forever* URGH WOMAN WHY DO YOU KEEP ON BREAKING MY HEART WITH THESE TWO ?!
I agree with Lydia on here, this description was necessary because now I want to marry Leslie, and you can go to Hell Copperhead
Again, artstyle and coloring are getting better and better ! Love the poses here and Leslie's look here, herfbefbezbueifb, too cute

Yoru-the-Rogue In reply to GrimesGen [2014-06-13 01:10:41 +0000 UTC]

I wasn't aware I was breaking your heart with CopperSmith? (I'm used to getting chewed out for breaking people's hearts with NuriSpot shipping.)
. . . I find your statement hilariously ironic, because the original Copperhead in the comics DOES go to Hell. It took twelve assassins to finally kill him, and even so he managed to kill all of them before he died from blood loss. And he went to Hell and there made a deal with the demon Neron, so he could come back to life with all of his Metahuman powers fully enhanced and evolved.
X3 And again, thank you so much! I'm so honored to hear this! Those poses are something that I probably should have practiced long before this actually, but haven't. Aaaahhh, I love drawing older Leslie. She just gets lovelier over time and asdfklha;sdfjl;ajsdlf;jals;jdflhaug I need to get better at showing that.

I love the description you've added for this pairing dear, it really compliments their relationship! I utterly adore how Leslie just love Luiz for the way he is, that's really-really adorable in many ways! :'D Xx

Awww, thank you for all the kind words, Jinxy darling! There's something about this pairing that I just love to work with, and I say that Leslie's love for Luiz being himself is definitely a huge factor in that.

Always welcome! Luiz is a character that hardly gets any love, so to see Leslie be so affectionate towards him is a lovely addition :3 Xx
