Art Meme Sketch #2

[lumy12]

Happy Canada Day to my friends to the north!

Today's art meme recipient is strangealchemy. [Insert usual whining about scanning here.]

The first interest I picked was "brains" but I got a bit grossed out looking at images. Hee! Enjoy:

I originally intended to include that foot in the foreground, but messed up a bit on proportions and cut it off. Whoops. Human hands and feet give me difficulty, I suppose cyborgs are no different!

Yay! Glad you like it.

I actually thought about doing an additional, snarky "bartending in the dark" one which would have been essentially a black square. *snicker* But I was too lazy.

I've never drawn him before. He was fun!

Dooku/Greevy OTP!

I could have chosen a pic that actually had the two of them side by side, but this more traditional one appealed to me more.

That is absolutely WONDERFUl. And what freakish timing, I just watched that movie last night.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Woohoo, that looks like an Amber/elledwen icon. Better Obi and Mace than Obi and Ani. *shudders*

[jellybellys.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is! ;o) And I don't actually ship Obi/Mace, I just find the icon hilarious. I love that Mace icon, BTW that you're using. ;o)

Speaking of Star Wars, I wanted to ask your opinion since I just had a marathon of 3-6. Okay, I always thought the Padme/Obi Wan in RotS was my overactive imagination, and that we were just supposed to think Anakin was jealous because Padme was listening to someone other than him. BUT. Are we MEANT to think that Anakin thought Padme/Obi had something going on? It seems so obvious now that we were, but I know Lucas can be dense and I can totally see subtext where there isn't any so I was trying to ignore my inklings originally. But when he was talking to Padme on Mustafar...it was very jealous lover, not jealous Sith Lord. Well it was both. Shit, am I making any sense? Hmm.

Ack! *hides this comment from the Obidala shipper on her f-list* *hopes there's only one of them*

I believe we are supposed to think that, yes. If you read the RotS novelization it seems even more obvious - lots of subtext in there if you're looking for it. (I highly recommend that book, by the way... if you read nothing else Star Wars, ever, read that one)

[jellybellys.livejournal.com]

OOOH! I should. That sounds awesome. Same name, I assume?

And while Padme/Anakin is love, I had to admit I was like dammit Obi Wan! Just tell her the two of you will raise the babies together and have lots of sex and she won't "lose the will to live."

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yup. It's by Matthew Stover.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo no no no! She should have just died from whatever Anakin did to her, not from that "lost the will to live" crap. I mean, hello? Twin babies? Though I guess she figured she wouldn't be able to raise them anyway because Anakin would never leave her/them alone.

Padme was SO dumb. She should have just taken him up on his offer to rule the galaxy together!

[jellybellys.livejournal.com]

Agreed. And that would have been more horrible, too, if Anakin really HAD killed her.

She should have! You know, when I was watching ESB earlier today I realized Anakin makes quite a lot of "let's rule the galaxy together!" offers all willy nilly. Silly boy. I can't even imagine how insanely awesome Padme's costumes would have been if she agreed to RULE THE GALAXY with him. Actually, she should have agreed anyway! Agreed, let him kill Palpatine, and then try to turn him good. Gah. Silly girl.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

That's what she should have done, since Palpy was the true evil one.

But... but... *points to icon* Gah! I'm so conflicted!

YOU CAME IN THAT THING?!!? YOU'RE BRAVER THAN I THOUGHT!

Are you serious? You honestly did that? That's freaking crazy! That is so good! I'm honestly shocked! That is so amazing!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Aww shucks, thank you! Yup I'm on a Sunday morning art kick now.

[foole-of-hearts.livejournal.com]

I am beyond impressed. Beautiful AND talented! Doesn't seem fair somehow...

*blush* Thank you!
