Trek art and Icon

[tripperfunster]

Last night, hubby had the power out, so he could install a ceiling cat fan, so I couldn't draw in the traditional way, but I STILL HAD MY LAPTOP! It became apparant, quite quickly, that THERE IS A REASON I ONLY USE TRADITIONAL METHODS FOR ART.

It eventually came out okay, but took around 36439234 hours longer than it would have with a PENCIL and paper.

I wanted this to be a sort of FILL IN THE BLANK on characters, so Kirk/McCoy, Kirk/Spock, McCoy/Checkov peeps could all enjoy. (or any other Gold/Blue shirted pairings could use/abuse this.)

I also made an icon. Star Trek peeps, feel free to steal/share and/or change up the icon as you see fit. Add your pairing, or sparkly hearts or whatev.

Lmao, <3 your commentary. I am the exact opposite--digital is so fast and easy compared to pencil. I love both, though.

Anyway.

This is excellent and utterly charming! Very well done, dear. <3

I have HEARD that digital is faster and easier (most people think so) but for me, NOT SO MUCH. I just need to practice more, I guess.

It's pretty. ^__^

For me, it's gotta be K/S, especially with the hand sex holding.

Spock is more fun to draw (and look at) but I have really been won over by the AMAZING Kirk/McCoy fanfic out there!

I'm pretty sure my pairing is your pairing. *g*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're a traditionalist! ;)

[titti]

Yes, but I'm partial to the new puppies too. LOL

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

The new puppies made me a Kirk fan. I didn't care for TOS Kirk, but Mr. Pine? HOMFG. Yes. Just. Yes.

And now, of course, I have a great affection for old!Kirk too.

[titti]

Of course you do, that's because Shatner is egotistical like that. He makes sure to end up in your drawings more than Chris Pine anyway. LOL

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

He does! He totally does! sneaky bastard!

Those hands are freakin awesome. O_O

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They turned out chubbier than I had intended. (one of them must be Fatty-Shatty!!)

[xterm.livejournal.com]

That is soooo cute!!!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks!

[1scout.livejournal.com]

That's so sweet! And you know how much I love hands!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

|Thanks! Me too! I love hands!

Found this via trek_news, I absolutely love it just the way it is.

I'm kind of amazed you did this digitally - it has all the look of a pencilled piece. I'm not a great artist, but I share the same frustration, seeing as I don't have a scanner (or a tablet!). It takes forever to draw with a mouse.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh god! I wouldn't even attempt it with a mouse! I have a tablet, I just suck at using it! :D I have a scanner too, but I usually draw too big for it, so I end up photographing most of my stuff and uploading it that way.

I dunno, I guess I just am very tactile and like the feel of 'real' paper and pencils and such.

thanks for the lovely compliment!

[kerosinkanister.livejournal.com]

I think it turned out quite well. Do you have a tablet?

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yes, I have a tablet. I just don't use it much. I am amazed at the wonderful things that so many artists can do with it, but part of me (the OLD part) likes doing things the old fashioned way, with paper and pencils and pastels and such.

I would like to improve, though. Cartooning and stuff works much better digitally.

Awwwwwww *snags icon* that is utterly adorable :D
I know who it's going to be for me (is probably the only McCoy/Sulu shipper out there) :)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

See? That's exactly why i made it ambiguous! Pimp it up any way you like! Thanks for looking!

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you're hinting at it being bad or what. but I assure you, it is totally up to, perhaps past it's usual caliber of awesomeness!
