Alice and Jack

[secondlina]

Sketch for dqbunny  of our Namesake characters, Alice and Jack. I decided to color it because I almost never finish any Namesake sketches, aside from the comic pages. And that's not cool.

dqbunny  is a pretty epic Alice/Jack shipper. Though it doesn't mean the couple is official or anything. OR IS IT? QUICK, LOOK AWAY TO THE SHINY NOT-PLOT RELATED DISTRACTION!

I love drawing Alice. Why? Because her proportions are non-existent. I mess up her proportions on purpose to make her crazy skinny with long legs. That's how I wanted the character to look. I wanted her to be mostly legs. She was one of the character that really came to life quickly. She has almost always looked like this. Her costume was a little different before, and she had long hair for a few sketches, but Alice really came together quickly, with a side of hot badass.

I love awesome ladies in books/movie/tv series. I'm a little sad that some turn out to be less badass then promised. In a lot of comics, a girl is shown as powerful, capable, awesome... And then she winds up getting saved all the time. Sometimes it's because the villains are just too strong. But really, how come the hero gets to win then? I find that odd.

Another odd thing of the week. I was re-reading my Sailor Moon mangas and noticed something a little ridiculous. Mamoru (Tuxedo mask), in the 16th book, leaves for the USA to study. And Usagi (Bunny/Serena/Sailor moon) is sad, because she won't get to see him often. Then, about a chapter later, you see this same girl teleport to another country and other sailors teleport to other planets! HELLO? Why is she even sad? SHE CAN TELEPORT? I love this series, but I think it's hilarious that everytime I read it, I notice something that doesn't work with the logic of their own universe. Weird.

Ahhh, see, great minds and all. C: I knew you were a Bone fan. I can totally see that about Alice, too. I like deceptive appearances. My Jenny looks so tough but she's just a softhearted bird. (Also: giant robots?!)

You know what? :D I just love everything you draw. I can't believe you want to draw something for me! I could love something with two people -- any two people, or more, hey! -- cuddling together. Every time you draw people touching and getting close it just shoots an arrow right through my heart. ♥

Well, that's not fair, you gotta give me characters!

How about your own characters? Do you have a good example of what they look like? I could draw that! :D

If you drew Jenny and her Eli, I think I would go crazy with joy. :D Do not feel obligated! But if you want to, all my Jenny art is here. The two comic pages have Eli in them, and my model for him is Joshua Jackson. (I don't know beans about him, I just love his darling face!)
