On today's menu:
Hard tack with weevils

RNotC artwork
... and we're out of weevils anyway.

Two illustrations for
"Andrew",
a story by mrs-norrington.
Part one, rated G and
part two, rated PG (for excessive depiction of folds and judicious draping of threadbare shirts). Oh, and cats! ;o)

Always choose the lesser of the two weevils, just remember that. ;D

And those both do great justice to the story, I do think.

[caduceus]

If I have the choice, I'll not have weevils in my cookies at all, thank you very much. ;)

Thank you for thinking that I managed to get the feel of the story right. :)

I've been hunting for an icon that says that but no luck yet.

*Squee* *Loves muchly* I'm not in the mood for leaving a detailed review atm. But I do like the way the colors are bold and make a statement. Personally I think it needs the color to pull off the intended effect.

On a side note...if this doesn't life Mrs_n's mood I don't know what will...*sighs* If I had pretty drawings to my fics...

you're not the only one who loved that story

[caduceus]

Thank you! And I agree - there would be little point in illustrating the glorious description of a red-haired tomcat and naked Gillette in black and white... O:-)

I love how in picture #1 AndrewCat seems to be standing at attention!

And in picture two if only that sheet would fall a little lower and if only that night shirt were a bit more threadbare. Rrrrrow! Andrew does look very supine in James' bed. Meow!

Overall I love the colors and detail! Thankies for posting!

[caduceus]

You're very welcome! I couldn't not share these, and use the opportunity to post the fic rec! :)

The sheet and the shirt are part of my evil plan to take over the world. ;) Tease being my middle name and all...

[mrs_norrington]

Oh Menegroth, now all I can think about is an Andrew!kitty and a James!kitty curled around one another sleeping!

Seriously, I wish I could write a book that would feature lovely drawings like these. :D

Thank you!!!

[caduceus]

Meow!
Definitely a cute idea, although it'd be a shame to lose the brocade-covered dress coats... ;)

Thank you, too! :D

OMG, these drawings are both so gorgeous I cannot decide which I like best ! The sexiness of fully brocaded Commodore or the lovely, sweet haplessness of James in his shirt only ? The red, fiery, furry grace of Cat!Andrew or the languid, more-beautiful-than-words-can-tell naked young man on the bed ?
No, having to choose is too hard a thing ! I want them all ! :)

[caduceus]

And who would force you to choose? ;)

Personally, I know that I'd prefer the unclad version in my bed... unless the full dress coat is regarded as festive wrapping for a very lovely present. *g*

And there'll be another occasion for the sharing of Navyboy love a few days from now, if I'm not mistaken. ;D
