Art: "Scandalous!" for cappuchino

[oddsbobs.livejournal.com]

Title: Scandalous!
Author/Artist: oddsbobs 
Written for: cappuchino 
Rating: PG
Summary and/or Prompt: historic AU (some time last half of 19th century)
Any other random notes, warnings, etc.: So I’m not an artist. I’ve done one drawing, and I honestly meant to write a fic… but somehow I wound up with this. I’ll probably still write something. I still want to work on some of it, including Remus's body position and the lack of background.  As it’s my first real attempt at faces, critiques are certainly welcomed.  Happy holidays, cappuchino!

 

I wonder where Sirius is dragging Remus? ;-)    ...and I just noticed, there's a line going down the middle of Remus's head.  Oops.

Oh, love.

This makes me laugh. Out loud, if you will. Now if there were only some way to abbreviate that...

It's really nice. Good show.

haha! i am rolling on the floor doing some laughing. perhaps there could be an abbreviation for that as well?

thank you so much! I had hoped the humor would show through ;)

Oh, fun! So cute, with Remus trying to be all polite and Sirius being all, "no, we're going home to shag -- right now!" :-D I also like how you've made Sirius's clothes all attractive and Remus's sort of ratty. Nice work!

I figured that Sirius would be the most well-dressed man in the late 1800's, and Remus would go for comfort. :)
I'm very glad you liked it!

Oh, wow - that's kind of creepy.

But it's still great!

:D

creepy how? ::scratches head::

Thanks! :)

That's awesome! Past-AU's are great, and as much as I love the look you gave the boys, I think my favorite is the dissaproving look they're getting and thinking about what a sad world it must have been with no fangirls around! This is a lovely piece of art.

[oddsbobs.livejournal.com]

The lady was the very first thing I drew, and she had that look of disapproval. She was what made me turn it into R/S, in a strange way!

I'm sure there were plenty of fangirls... they were just quieter about it. :)

Thank you so much!

Ahahaha! The look on lady's face...! Remus polite as always and Sirius doesn't care as always :) That's great. I admire the clothes.

[oddsbobs.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I made sure the clothes fit the period, but was worried they didn't turn out right... so I'm glad you like them.

Eee~! The details kill me. Sirius' pimp cane, Remus' kidskin gloves and his hat (his hat!) and the disapproving look of the woman that he's tipping his hat to. Thank you so much! ♥

[oddsbobs.livejournal.com]

someone noticed the pimp cane! I had to draw that for Sirius... it was just so him.

I'm so glad you liked it... I was going to write something based on your second prompt, the poem (which I might still do... it's such a great poem) and then this happened. Yay for historical AU's!

Oh dear lord, it DEFINITELY is so very Sirius. I bet he'd have a whole collection of them to match his outfits. If he had been born earlier, in the late 1700s to early 1800s, he so definitely would have been a dandy. In fact, if he was around in the 1600s and 1700s, I can just see him with the very height of French fashion, brocade waistcoats and satin breeches and frock coats, shoes with immaculately detailed heels and buckles, perfectly powdered hair that would be his own, and not a wig, face powdered and done with perfect makeup, and artistic patches for beauty marks. Unf. *rambles incessantly*

Yes, hurrah for the historical AU! It shall forever own my heart. ♥ And I won't be greedy and tell you to write that, but...write it! XD;

But there is an admirable amount of carefully-drawn background! There’s a whole context, complete with a minor character and some interaction with her! And our beloved boys are perfect with their telling expressions and clothes. Just wonderful.

[oddsbobs.livejournal.com]

you've made me feel a whole lot better about the entire thing... now that I think about it, I did get all the major elements in :)

Thank you so much for your kind comments!

Wah! When I say I cannot draw, I mean that my stick figures have too many limbs. When you say that you're not an artist, you must be coming from a different planet, because this is lovely! And yes, there must be some story behind this: where they came from, where they are going... Lovely!

[oddsbobs.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I doodle a lot, but I don't consider myself an artist because there's so many extremely wonderful artists out there... I can't even begin to name some of them. This exchange was so much fun to participate in!

HOT and really cute :3

[oddsbobs.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[liseuse.livejournal.com]

Hee! This is adorable. I think my favourite bit may be the lamppost however. (is odd.)

[aopt.livejournal.com]

Yes, rather amusing. Rather more than rather, actually. Splendid job!

[ronloveshermy.livejournal.com]

Haha! Brilliant. Well done on capturing the boys personalities yet remaining with the era.
