Which it's not stated that AU is banned, and which it is stated that fanart is permitted! (This is somewhat different from the usual fare, here, in other words.)
I drew this over the course of the past couple days for
xidiomaticlogic, after he and I got to talking about modern, AU, university-age versions of the various Aubrey-Maturin characters. Tom ended up heavily involved in theatre and water polo, and I could not help but want to draw pictures of him both as a drama geek and a water rat.
Thar be a large picture (and a kilt as well) beneath the cut, aye.
Yes, he's totally poking fun at Hamlet. ^^;
First M&C or James-related art I've drawn in literally years, and it has to go and be AU. *throws hands up*
Crossposted to a few places (
masters_mate,
jdarcy_daily,
hms_surprise), so I apologise if you get this multiple times on your f-list. ^^; The picture is also available on
deviantART and
y!Gallery.
