Art: Birthday cards [Multifandom]

[motetus]

Art dump time! Here are a handful of little things from the last month or two that I've drawn for various people's birthdays (and if I've missed yours, I am most sorry! Doing these regularly now has been very enjoyable but also made me paranoid about accidentally offending someone, so you should tell me and I can make it up to you next year). Under the cut: Star Wars, Nolanverse Batman and Inception fanart (NSFW).

For the_little_owl: a Gaulish/(Celtish?) Qui-Gon - a rather drab one considering their love of garish colours, but I wanted his outfit to mimic the Jedi uniform a little.

For pronker: Obi-Wan having a well-deserved drink after another week of successfully not Force-pushing his whiny apprentice off the highest tower in the Jedi Temple. Obviously this drawing is set a few minutes before he gets chatted up by the extremely charming and fit tentacled alien next to him at the bar.

For marourin: TDKR's John Blake, looking tremendously judgemental. He's not impressed with anything you're saying.

For lezzerlee: Arthur in stockings and heels, the little minx. I dearly love all my friends who are interested in such things and thus give me an excuse to draw it over and over again. :D

For citrinesunset: Cobb and Arthur being adorable. Now I have given myself all sorts of Arthur/Cobb feelings, whoops.

For beili: Girl!Eames, Girl!Arthur and a grenade launcher. I love beili's genderswapped art and wanted to see if I could do something similar, but my self-imposed challenge was to make them as similar to how their original selves looked in that "mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling" scene. Turned into a lot of agonising about balancing making them pretty (because as men they're both terribly pretty, so figures they'd be very good-looking women too, no?) and keeping their faces recognisable. You would think that the slender, delicately-boned guy would be easier to draw as female than the one with huge shoulders and stubble, right? Nope. JGL, you have a very difficult face to turn female, and that scowl on your face in this scene is adorable but really not helping.

And finally, a photo study I did last weekend to get me out of my grumpy mood after reading one too many stories where poor Cobb's written as a dim-witted liability and Arthur secretly can't stand him, grumble grumble no shut up you are all wrong. ILU, Cobb, and so does Arthur.

Awww, these are ALL awesome. And I love Cobb, too.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much!

Yay, Cobblove! I must admit I started off fairly uninterested in him, but he's grown on me over the years, like a particularly resilient parasite. Say what you want about him being a little mad, but there's no denying he's rather brilliant and charismatic.

Oh these are all so fantastic! I especially love the one with Arthur and Cobb. I'm challenging myself to write something where they are exes, so it's helping me get in the right frame of mind.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, and I'm glad the Arthur/Cobb one can help get the writing gears moving!

[fififolle]

Ooh, wonderful! I hardly know where to stare *g*

[motetus.livejournal.com]

The answer you are looking for is Arthur's naked butt.

[fififolle]

*sporfle*
You clearly know me better than you realise *g*

Oh dear! Finally I do realize that this Celtic Qui-Gon has the Jedi Order's coat of arms on his shield! I'm so bad at Star Wars canon stuff! Please feel free to kick my feathery butt for my inability to recognize this detail. I was so mesmerized by his body (paintings), sword, and gold that I didn't spent proper attention to the shield.

And from your other pictures I love especially the wicked ladies and the black&white portrait.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Heh, no, failing to spot that is a *good* thing! Means I've succeeded in getting the Jedi symbol to fit in so well with the Celtic outfit or, even better, made Qui-Gon's shirtlessness too hot to notice anything else. ;)

[the-little-owl.livejournal.com]

Yes, I totally blame the shirtlessness :>)

[pronker.livejournal.com]

*points to icon* and Arthur! Are those 4 or 5 inch heels?

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Hooray! The bar is Obi-Wan's favourite place to be, after all - canon says so.

I wish I looked half as good as Arthur in heels. I just fall over a lot and whine about how much they hurt, instead.

[sneaqui.livejournal.com]

1) Arthur's sweaty/wet curly hair eeee!!

2) That picture of Arthur/Cobb is making me ship it. THE HAND ON THE KNEE.

3) I love the style of lady Arthur and Eames. It's almost cartoon-ish and different from your usual style, I feel. Me likey. And nice job on the grenade launcher bro.

4) I love your art please never stop <3 <3

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, I might not be 100% satisfied with female Arthur's face, but I did like how the style came out, so am glad you like that one. And a grenade launcher is a far better accessory than a handbag, it's got way more firepower.

NOT STOPPING ANY TIME SOON. Though I might have to hold off on the somnophilia drawing where Arthur's fingering a sleeping, aroused Eames, at least while my parents are visiting. Might get awkward.

1. Love the tattoos and gratuitous bare-chestedness.

2. Aw, Obi-Wan! Gives me some SW nostalgia.

3. Love that surly John Blake and his hair.

4. Arthur's ass. That is all.

5. Aw, so affectionate! Very cute.

6. I like how this came out! I like the outfits and the necklace.

7. I enjoy Cobb's hair a great deal there.

Well done, madam! Now back to the factory you go; you've some more nudity to churn out.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Cobb does have fabulous hair, there's no denying that. Being a wanted fugitive and criminal doesn't mean you don't have to take care of your locks.

You are a monster. I could give you a beautiful new drawing of Arthur and Eames and dicks every single day, and you still wouldn't unshackle the chains and let me draw something sweet like an adorable fluffy animal in a hat. I suppose that's why I hold you in such high regard. <3

CELTIC QUI-GON.

How does one tell a fit tentacled alien from a non-fit one?

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Bulging, muscley tentacles. You wouldn't want to go home with one for a long night of hot, mind-blowing tentacle penetration, only to have them get tired and go all limp and noodley after 10 minutes, would you?

[carmarthen.livejournal.com]

....I thought the whole point of tentacles was that they're strong and sleek without unsightly bulges or obvious muscleyness. :P HAVE I MISUNDERSTOOD TENTACLES ALL ALONG???

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

I really like your style especially the line art. Really beautiful.
