(Yeah, I know this is a day too early, but I'll be away tomorrow, and I figured, better early than late. ♥)
Alright, so I know I'm the worst wife in the history of LJ-wives, and I'm so incredibly sorry for my utter neglect of you,
roterhimmel, and I won't blame you at all if you've been cheating on me – I almost wish you have, and that you did it with Gary Oldman, because that would perfect for your birthday, wouldn't it? ♥ So, I'm terribly sorry I went AWOL on you – but it's not personal, it's universal, because school is almost over but is shanghaiing me at the moment – but I hope I can make it up to you in time, and that this birthday present is alright, and please, have a very happy birthday. Let me say it again:
Title: His Girl
Summary: "Sirius & Bonnie — June 31, 1979."
Characters/Pairings: Sirius Black (Remus/Sirius implied)
Genre: Pencil drawing; mock-photograph
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 for a stripped-to-the-waist boy
Medium: Lead pencil (propelling 0.3B and "real" pencil 7B) and retouched in Photoshop Elements 5.0
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters; I'm just playing around a bit.
Small version (594x763)
Large version (910x1169)
Do you see that? You know what it is? It's a background, that is! Now the subject's not just floating around uncertainly in white space, but it actually has a surrounding; it's a real picture. Not that I'm any good at backgrounds; that fact hasn't changed. Those blocky thingamajigs are supposed to be houses, and those ice-cream cornets on the arch are supposed to be trees on a hill. But it's the thought that counts, yeah?
I used heaps of references for this. (Of course, "this" being the motorbike and Sirius; I used no reference whatsoever for the so-called background. Could you imagine that?) Firstly, the pose I nicked from a photo I found somewhere when I trekked Google Image Search, so the angle and pose and body and all that are 100% ripped off. For the face and head, I used Tim Roth as reference (again; I'm so sorry!) and I tried to "Rothify" the torso the best I could. The bike… Oh, the bike. Cards on the table, I've never drawn a motorbike before. I barely know what's the front and what's the rear. But in any case, it's supposed to be a Triumph Bonneville, a "Bonnie", and maybe if you squint and tilt your head to the left, it looks like one? ♥
This is totally a fetish drawing; I won't make a secret of that fact. Mostly they're ones
roterhimmel and I share; the nipple-piercing is entirely hers, however, and is specially manufactured for this occasion. The tattoo – the armband-design of a Celtic infinity knot – is my own idea, though, as is the earring. And yay, long hair and leather jacket! \o/I enjoyed drawing this. It was tricky as hell, but fun; especially trying to get all those details of the motorbike right. And I think Sirius came out looking a little photo-shy, not looking directly into the camera and all that, and I must say that I like that. *g*
Now, you might ask where the implied Remus/Sirius is, since I said there would be. Well, who do you think took the picture and saved it? ♥

Gaah! XD;; I'd like to, but I want to write for the Games even more, so... But if you need a pinch-hit for some team or other, or just, you know, a donation or gift or anything, I'd love to draw something. ♥

Date: 2009-06-02 05:28 pm (UTC)And you did an amazing job on the motorbike, too! It's sleek and beautiful, like it's owner (and the Triumph just fits with Sirius):D

Date: 2009-06-23 03:00 pm (UTC)Aw, thank you!! ♥ I'm both tempted and terrified of trying to draw a bike again. We'll see how it goes, yeah? *g*
And yay, I got the salute!icon! :DD

Date: 2009-06-02 05:55 pm (UTC)Congrats on the background! And the realism of the bike, woah. Good pose, too. All the elments come together well. :D

Date: 2009-06-04 03:26 pm (UTC)Do you know how lovely this is? I guess you do. I guess you planned all of this, and you knew I'd hyperventilate again and want to kiss you and take you to the Moon and promise you ten-thousand stupid, totally cheesy things and other stuff BUT I LOVE YOU ♥♥
It's so gorgeous. I love all of it, but, as weird as I am, I love Sirius' NIPPLE PIERCING (!!!!!!!) and his right hand the most; they're so pretty I want them for myself. Ha ha, yeah right, cut off Sirius' right hand and give them to me as birthday present, lol. Kinda sick, but, he, that's who I am, I guess. Either way it's really gorgeous, and once again I can't thank you enough. That kinda happens a lot, doesn't it? So here: THANK YOU SO MUCH, darling.
I'm sorry this review/comment thing is so lame, and maybe it doesn't feel really enthusiastic, but I am, I really am. I'm just very washed out and not good currently but that doesn't mean I don't love it, cause I do ♥ So again, thank you so much.
And I hope you're okay! Hearing that school is nearly over makes me happy since I guess it's not as stressful for you then. I hope you're fine. *hugs*
(...and again, THANKYOUSOMUCH.)

Date: 2009-06-23 03:17 pm (UTC)Secondly: gods, don't apologise! Your enthusiasm isn't lame at all! I read your entry you posted on your birthday, and I was actually worried that oh
shitsnap, if you don't like birthdays, have I just made you feel worse now? so just hearing that you like this and wasn't offended was such a huge relief. Because I consider fretting my one purpose in life. *facepalm*Ha ha, yeah right, cut off Sirius' right hand and give them to me as birthday present, lol.
... You haven't seen State of Grace by any chance, have you? Because that what you just said reminded me of a, er, scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leY4BIzgJ-w) from it. (It has Gary Oldman, which is a big yea, though it's absolutely crazy, so that is a yea or a nay depending on the person? (It's got a young, long-haired Gary Oldman. I, for one, am not complaining. *g*))
ANYWAYS. That got off-topic. :D The nipple-piercing's just for you, lovely. ♥ I almost chewed off my pencil trying to figure out a way for the jacket to rest without concealing it. *g*
YOU ARE SO VERY WELCOME AND IT IS THE LEAST I CAN DO AFTER HAVING NEGLECTED YOU SO MUCH. Want to take a honeymoon and really spoil each other, or at least let me spoil you? ♥

Date: 2009-06-13 04:24 pm (UTC)For some reason my eyes were drawn to Sirius' legs. They're just ... lovely, for the lack of a better word.

Date: 2009-06-23 02:57 pm (UTC)Aw, thank you! ♥ That bike was so much trouble, I tell you. I'm glad it was worth it. *g*
[Sirius' legs] are just ... lovely, for the lack of a better word.
Again, thank you very much! I usually shy away from legs, because they're so tricky to draw. I take it I managed it this time? *g*
