Preface: What follows are the various artings I did for
skellerbvvt's amazing, incredible, stupendous, hot, endearing, hilarious, and utterly charming A/E AU series (or, rather, EPIC comment!fic),
The Maillard Reaction!!!
Title: ALL THE THINGS FOR
skellerbvvt's
The Maillard ReactionArtist:
red_rahlRating: G
Characters/Pairings: Arthur, Eames (A/E), Cigar, Shoe (Cigar/Shoe)
Warnings: None, other than the copious amount of pictures of wee wee doggies. (You have been warned!)
So much thanks to:
skellerbvvt, for writing such wondrous things and for
cherrybina for prompting her to do the writing. Skeller, thank you so much for all the joy and wonder and for letting me play and roll around with Cigar for a bit. And for humoring me! *adores you so much*
Artist Notes: The art was done at different points to illustrate the sheer amount of love I felt and continue to feel for this 'verse and, most of all, for Cigar, the wee-est doggie of wee dogs, and his truly awe-inspiring love story with Shoe. Cigar/Shoe OTP 4 LIFE!!!
The first time I ever drew the grand romance that is Cigar/Shoe!
And then I had to draw Arthur and Cigar. My main criteria was worrying if he was wee enough!!! Also, this was the first time I attempted JGL's dimples. I think it went okay? @3@
And then there was Cigar, so wee he could wait inside his doggie food bowl. He is waiting so very patiently for the food fairy, yes he is!!!
And then we find out that MR!Arthur had a miniature bed commissioned for Cigar, along with a handsewn quilt, because he worries Cigar may get hurt sleeping in Arthur's bed (because it's so big)!
Eventually, all things must come to an end and I drew Cigar scooting around in Shoe in both celebration/congratulations and because I was complused.
But then, Cigar will never leave us (well, me certainly), and whenever I get an opportunity, there he is (with Shoe somewhere in the vincinity, of course)!
And finally, because I can't leave well enough alone, I had this fantastic image in my head that I really need to do. It was Arthur and Eames taking Cigar for a walk...
I asked for help with the dialogue and got so much more than I ever dreamed of!!! XDDD She came up with the back story for this scenario and IDEK!!!
Title of potential "mini" series: THE MINI BAGEL ADVENTURES.
Summary (in Skeller's words): Eames tried to make mini bagels BUT THEY WERE SO MINI THAT THEY TURNED EVERYONE CHIBI.
My question: GUUUUUH! PLEASE TELL ME THE MAGICAL BAGELS WEAR OFF!!!! XD Cigar must be so damn confused!!!
Skeller's answer: THE MAGICAL BAGELS ONLY LAST UNTIL EAMES MAKES THE MAGICAL CINNAMON ROLLS OF BIGNESS. Which is hard, as he is very small.
