Today bombed completely. The bright side is that I'm done with classes... except for a Art History, which I'm probably going to fail -- so yeah, done with classes. Somehow that lacks satisfaction. /wry

But! Hey, Doodle Request time! Who wants a doodle? I will draw virtually anything. :< Seriously, I will.

Awe man, what happened today? Bad final? :(

You know, I was thinking about something I would love to see you draw, but I can't remember what it was, now... Other than the scribble zoo. :D Maybe it will come back to me. In the meanwhile, maybe some superheros. Or aliens. Space. Something fantastical. ;)

Hmh. A silent art critique, but I'm over it now. Ah! Summer break, here I come!

If you ever remember be sure to tell me! :) I tried to combine all three with fantastical in this picture. Maybe I was successful? ♥

Oh my god! I am swooning over this, I am. It is gorgeous. I wish I could mail you my immediate reaction to it, when I saw it for the first time (let me reenact it a bit with emoticons: :-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Since then, I've just been coming back and admiring it so terribly. He is such an elegant superhero alien space man. There's this beauty to him. Like, I have a feeling, if he were real, he would be so courtly and devastating to all the ladies and/or gentlemen in a place -- no, to all of space. I love how you lit his face and the way his eyes are very emotive, soulful, a great draw-in, and just the slightest, contemplative pucker to his lips. And his air tank helmet! Hee. The background and his green suit are awesome accents to the style of his face. I wonder what sort of life he has, in your head...

I'm sorry to hear about your critique, but if it makes any difference, this is wonderful. ♥♥

I am fond of your sharks, too! Bubbly.

And you know, the sort of muted sandy tone of tan (and even green) that you used makes me feel like maybe he is a desert-planet dweller or perhaps dry and non-committed, like sand. He, while being elegant and beautiful, also, I meant to say, has this sort of dangerous feel to him-- I think it might be because he looks so collected and nonplussed (and even a touch bored, maybe), so who knows what he's really thinking? And the cracking is striking. Reminds me of when they have the tense moments in film and television where there're lightening storms to hint at bad blood and evil comings and stuff. Huh, intimidating beauty and brains. ;D I don't think I'd want to meet him up close. Maybe see him off in the distance at a function. An art show in New York, perhaps? Hahaha. "Our eyes met over the hors d'oeuvres table. ...And then I melted to a puddle of fear/adoration, and that was that."

It's funny that you say that, because I had this whole set of text set aside to go with the picture when it was like this, but once I added everything else, especially the color, it didn't fit anymore. It was a corny little scene in my head where he looks out at space and says, "captain, what will become of us?" And the captain says something like, "we will find a new home and rebuilt our mission." And then they gazed at the planet in front of them. But now it doesn't fit. He looks very cold now, untouchable.

I'm glad you love it, because I'm really fond of it, too. It was a good way to shake off the bad art mojo from this past Spring. I feel ready to tackle whatever comes to stop me. :D

I based him off Martian Manhunter a little bit tbh. That's who I had in my head when I was sketching this out.

I would love to see the text anyway, you know. Or rebooted text for the new version. Whichever, I am not picky. :DDDD ;DDDD XDDDD The old version is just as lovely, and I can't decide if I am more fond of the green tint or the classic black&white...but I think I may be leaning just a little more toward the green. He was the first, so there is bias now. ;p

I'm glad for that! That it worked as a charm for the bad mojo. &ace;

I had to wiki that dude (like his name, J'onn J'onzz). Interesting!

Hahaha, /o\ that was the text -- Ok, I'm writing you something for it. Something tiny, so like, don't get too excited, but! It'll have thrilling space adventure in 200 words or less. ;p

(I love that name! I know very little about J'onn, so -- but I read a fanfic recently for smallville and the justice league and an image was superimpose.)

Haha! Oh well, my bad... But hey, my plan worked, either way. Hah! I will make you write more, yet. I do not mind how long or short it is, as long as you do something for it. :DD

Also, hey, I made an icon of this lovely piece and was curious if I might use it? All credit to your art skills, for sure! But I don't want to showcase your art around where you might not want it, so I thought I'd ask first. Or you could totally, totally use it, if you like it. First dibs to the creator of the original piece, of course. :) (not to assume the icon does it justice, but...!) Really, though, please I don't mind if you don't want me to use it-- completely understand.

Here it is:

I'm totally psyched that you made an icon out of it and want to use it, :D Seriously. :o the way you cropped it and downplayed the tan really adds so much more tension to it! It has morphed again! and it feels more psychological, hahaha, ;A; I love it! Go ahead and do what you want with it, lady, I know you'll take good care of it. ♥

:DD But the original is still the best, I say! Green&tan for the ace. ♥ It is now my default, in fact!
