Title: Fear/Illusion sketch
nattherat - April 19, 2008 06:06 PM (GMT)
Well it's been two weeks since Rat, and I've started gearing myself up to do Lady Illusion. However, I got ever so slightly....distracted :lol: I'm a bit out of practise again, theres loads of mistakes :/ Fear's expressions are so hard to do! He was supposed to look surprised-happy, but he just looks totally out of it :lol: Anyway, here you go, hope you like :) Hopefully I'll get the hang of drawing Lady Illusion soon

Beautiful! ^_^ Like I said on your LJ, love it so, so much! *glee* Most delightful.
nattherat - April 19, 2008 10:40 PM (GMT)
Oh, theres going to have to be another one now. You've encouraged me, see? And coupled with how much I desperatly want these two back together, I'm going to have to do another sketch :P

*encourages MOAR*
Fear/LI = :wub: :P :eek: :bomb:
Rotgut - April 20, 2008 08:28 AM (GMT)
Sarah, your nutty.
I love this drawing, despite the rather icky siutation. Please no tongues.
Sarah Frost - April 20, 2008 08:32 AM (GMT)
I don't think Lord Fear has a tongue, Rotgut... :P
nattherat - April 20, 2008 10:03 AM (GMT)
Ahhh, but is there anything he can't do with that magic of his? :lol:
*squee* I'm stuck in more daydreams now - I meant to do wome work today as well :P
Did you get my email by the way Sarah?
Sarah Frost - April 20, 2008 10:04 AM (GMT)
Oh, of course--I'll get round to it soon. :) Sorry 'bout that!
nattherat - April 20, 2008 10:58 AM (GMT)
:) Phew, thats OK then. Don't worry about it, I was just beginning to worry I'd managed to send it to the wrong person! :D
Rider Jetfire - April 20, 2008 11:52 AM (GMT)
ROCK ON!!!!!! That was awesome!!!!!!!! :D
Rotgut - April 20, 2008 01:59 PM (GMT)
I know LF doesn't have a tongue, but I really wouldn't like to see Lady Illusion putting her tongue down a dry throat made of dust! I'm sure she wouldn't do it either...unless forced. Maybe she'd do it with Staff Head or Pigface. :blink: :nuts:
I have such a warped imagination.
nattherat - April 20, 2008 03:13 PM (GMT)
How do you know its dusty :P
You never know, he may taste like that sugar cane plant. Or perhaps more salty :lol:
And I'm pretty certain that any ineptness Lord Fear has in that area, he can make up 10x over in other areas. Love will find a way :wub:
You put a very humourous image in my head of Illusion and Staffhead mirroring Mulan and Mushu there :lol:
"My eyes, can see straight through your armour-" *slap*
Rotgut - April 21, 2008 08:44 AM (GMT)
Don't even think about it!!!
I really don't see the reason why LI is in love with LF. There is one big age gap. She's about 30 odd and he is 352!!!!
Sarah Frost - April 21, 2008 09:13 AM (GMT)
*prefers to peg Ace and LI a little closer to the mental age where you fall in love like an idiot* :P
She probably liked him for the evil-overlordness. :P Then again, I'm sure stretchy limbs + 300 years of experience aren't that bad. Heck, he doesn't even seem to have decaying bits falling off him like Rotgut does (sorry, Rotgut!)
I'd prefer Lord Fear above either Pigface or Staffhead. ^_^ He's at least humanoid, and Pigface's mental age probably puts him too young for any sort of meaningful consent. He has long, graceful hands?
Rotgut - April 21, 2008 03:02 PM (GMT)
I'll take your insult as a compliment.
You've got a good point about LF. Pigface is only 6 years old.
nattherat - April 21, 2008 08:18 PM (GMT)
D: Please say I'm not the only one who'd prefer this over AL/LI. PLEASE SAY I'M NOT ALONE :(
That does it, I shall have to create something to prove that they were destined to be together, so nobody can dispute their love! :nuts:

I say thats reason enough.
Rotgut - April 22, 2008 11:00 AM (GMT)
I am a supporter of Ace and Lady Illusion, but LF and LI's relationship with cool. B)

I figure if Lord Fear waited for someone his own age he'd be lookin' for a long time. besides it's a common custom in certain tarditions for very young individuals you be "married" (or you know, whatever this situation is) to older men.

Finally, after, let's see, two or three months, I return with that
something that I have created in an attempt to win you over to
the side of evil me and my lonely support LI/LF side.
Lo behold;
A VIDEO! The song and the video go with my interpretation of the back-story for the show, and Lady Illusion's feelings. So the video is mostly from the POV of Lady Illusion, I hope you like it :nuts:
EDIT: Also, forgot to mention, it contains a sort of, re-visioning of the ending to series 1 :D Just to explain that particular bit :lol:
EDIT: I've also got another thing to mention: I've about a third of the way finished a Lord Fear music video - but I don't think I'll have enough footage to complete it, so I'm unsure as with what to do with it. I'm thinking of posting up the WIP on my youtube account, and having it only available to friends, so you guys can take a look, crit, or suggest clips for it, since I imagine you know probably know the episodes better than I do :) What do you think?
Sarah Frost - July 24, 2008 09:08 PM (GMT)
Wheeeeee! I love that vid. :heart: Very nicely done--congrats on finding those Fear/LI moments! I really like how you used the crystal ball footage backwards; that was a lovely effect. ^_^
nattherat - July 24, 2008 09:28 PM (GMT)
:nuts: Have I fully converted you?
I think I want to do another one between them - the slowness of that song meant it was really hard to get the clips working with it, I don't think I succeeded very much.
The ending was because, perhaps I haven't watched it as thoroughly as others, or perhaps I've been watching too thoroughly and seen what isn't there, but to me, Ace and Illusion's relationship seems to be based on basic attraction and nothing more, whilst her relationship with Fear has a whole multitude of levels. Like I said, maybe I'm making something out of nothing with their moments :lol: But to me it seemed hard to believe that she would physically allow the, almost murder of someone who'd loved her for years because she was attracted to some bloke that she hasn't really had the right amount of dialogue with to seriously make an informed decision about. It just didn't sit right with me, so I changed it :lol:
nattherat - July 25, 2008 03:44 PM (GMT)

:D Couldn't help myself. I did draw an Illusion x Fear pic too, but it didn't come out so good :(
Rotgut - July 25, 2008 08:15 PM (GMT)
Nonsence, it is wonderful. :nuts:
Sarah Frost - July 26, 2008 04:06 AM (GMT)
WOW!! :wub: I love that sketch. It looks great, so much like the character.
Consider me all but converted. :nuts: I think Fear/LI has a big power imbalance to it, but that helps make it interesting--and they're both much more complicated characters than, say, Ace. With whom you're right that she doesn't have enough dialogue, but still, with a history in the Sixth Dimension... I also don't think LI could've been very helpful to Fear in that last episode. She sounded to Ace like she was about to fade out herself, and all three Knights--including Random--were powered up. In the vid, though, you mirrored that first episode--with the dark night and the grass--really well with your version of the last. I hadn't realized there was that cool visual parallel there. :) I guess I 'ship both. ^^
nattherat - July 30, 2008 12:03 AM (GMT)
Yes that's true, poor Lady Illusion :( I'm not convinced on that history part - considering how little attention she pays to Ace until that moment when he saves her, I'm willing to bet they haven't conversed or even properly glanced at each other before that episode.
I have a related doodle;

I was messing about in Flash, I had the intention of trying to learn to animate in it, but that never happens, and I always end up just drawing in it instead.
Not really my greatest work - I do kind of like Staffhead there though, obviously trying to get in on the action :lol:
Sarah Frost - July 30, 2008 09:48 AM (GMT)
Eeeeee! :wub: I've been thinking of that drawing all day and looking like :D when I did. It's cute. Staffhead is cute--his little bally head all rolled up and depressed. ^_^ There's also some nice details on Lady Illusion's costume.
*d'awws at pic again*
*iz ded*
Rotgut - July 30, 2008 09:51 AM (GMT)
Love the picture. Staff Head is missing his wings. :nuts:
Rider Jetfire - July 30, 2008 08:59 PM (GMT)
:nuts: :nuts: :nuts:
Simply amazing!
nattherat - August 1, 2008 04:54 PM (GMT)

current WIP, I havent really had time to do much on it :) All of the lineart turning pink was an accident, it was only meant to be for some of Lady Illusion, but I couldn't bear to change it back because of how sickeningly sweet the colour pink turns things :nuts:
I've no idea where I'm really going with this picture :lol: It's like Lord Fear was just saying 'ladies first' or something and Illusion decided she just wanted to gaze into his eyes instead. As you may well do when in love with someone. :D
Rotgut, you were absolutely right, and if you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed :lol: I was so preoccupied with concentrating on Fear and Illusion!
Rotgut - August 1, 2008 07:28 PM (GMT)
It just got better! :nuts:
nattherat - August 14, 2008 10:55 PM (GMT)

:wub: Couldn't help it. :heart: :heart: :heart: Certain....fanfic....made me :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:
Rider Jetfire - August 15, 2008 12:16 AM (GMT)
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :nuts:
Rotgut - August 15, 2008 11:34 AM (GMT)
Blblblblblblblblblblblblblblblb!!!! :P :D :lol: That's kicking awesome! :nuts:
Sarah Frost - August 15, 2008 11:44 AM (GMT)
:D !!!! That looks so pretty! :wub: :wub: :wub: Colours make the sketch look really amazing (more so ^^), soft and lovely. :heart:
nattherat - August 15, 2008 12:58 PM (GMT)
:nuts: You're partly responsible for this Sarah, so you get some credit too :D
I keep wanting to illustrate that fic of yours because I love it so much (pretend I'm old enough to read it, because I did....about a million times over the course of how long I've been on the board :P), but everytime I try, I just can't do it justice :(
Sarah Frost - August 15, 2008 01:02 PM (GMT)
Thanks for the compliment. :) If I'm thinking of the same fic as you are, I wrote the thing a few years ago now; I'm hoping the fic I'm trying to write for you will turn out better (though probably not too smutty). ^^ Your art is brilliant.
nattherat - August 15, 2008 01:54 PM (GMT)
:heart: :heart: :heart: DSJDFSKGFLUG :wub: I can't wait! :nuts:
Wait;
"If I'm thinking of the same fic as you are"
OMG SFFJDSYFFF IS THERE MORE FEAR/ILLUSION??? :nuts:
Rotgut - August 16, 2008 10:15 AM (GMT)
I still have to wait another year before I can read Sarah's work. :(
