My idea was basically Red John lurking throughout Patrick's life. It was weak prompt, totally up for interpretation and I'm so happy watchyouwalk chose it regardless, and made something absolutely wonderful! I've read her story multiple times and alkdhlashlashd everyone should go read it. You should read it. Go read it.
This was my prompt:
Then my piece inspired by watchyouwalk's story.
Red suit because he's Red John. lolool I'm so clever. Sorry.
I started with traditional style, using pencil colors and pastels and then edited on my computer. I used two reference pictures from Google. This was kind of experimental and I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out.
The Mentalist has a special place in my heart, one of the only TV shows I watch religiously and keeps me surprised. I am still new to BigBangs in general and this one was yet another extremely fun experience. Next time around, I hope to do it all again. Thanks to everyone who made this possible! C:
