Sulu/Chekov art for Templemarker

[tripperfunster]

Oooh, the trek_exchange is so fun! (and I'm only 3 days late to the party)

templemarker asked for Sulu and his grandfather from the book Kobiashi Maru (no, not as a pairing!!). Sadly, I had no time to find/read that book (although I might have to in the future), so I went with her second choice of Sulu/Chekov.

I hope you like it!!




I'm not super thrilled with the shading on Chekov's face, but honestly, I could faff around with this for ten more days and still not be happy. I love how his shirt turned out though, and thanks so much to the gals at artbeta for the imput! <3

Here's a question: If Kirk + Spock = Kock, does Sulu + Chekov = Sukov? I hope so!

LJ! Stop eating comments!

1. Because I am an enormous dork, I have that book. In arms' reach, even.

2. I don't think the shading is so bad--he looks a little tired, maybe, but also trusting, so.

3. Nope, my favorite trek smush is still McCock (delicious sandwich at a burger chain?) or the related threesome, McCockov. *nods*

We had some hilarious HP ones going at Infinitus. Of course, I can remember NONE of them, because it is late, and I am not clever that way.

I'll have to ask themostepotente, she was coming up with the funniest ones.

And yes, Chekov is tired. TOO MUCH GAI SMEXINGS. (not that you can ever have too much, mind ...)

MMMMNGGGUH it turned out so pretty. I am IN LOVE WITH HOW YOU DREW SULU. SO MANLY AND TAKE-CHARGE. LKJSDFHSDLKJFHDSJfk

Go put that art in Drawmo! I mean you're drawing and it's November so consider yourself qualified!

[toadstoolcouch.livejournal.com]

That's amazing! The shading is gorgeous, really adds realism to it. I love all the details, too, like Chekov's curly bangs!

Me likes! Especially their hair, the shading on their faces and the look of trust and adoration and mmmhmmm naked chest. Very hot: Chekov's bunched up tunic that Sulu is just taking off. Nngnnn... *fans self*

Thank you! I'm much happier with Sulu than Chekov. I do like the shirt, however.

I tried to put a texture filter on it, but I just have the cheap photoshop, and couldn't find anything that didn't look rediculous. ;)

I pretty much draw every day, regardless of the month. (except when I'm doing other arty non drawing things, like halloween costumes)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I"ve never drawn these two before, so it was fun!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! What a lovely comment! <3

I love Chekov face! And that shirt crease XD

Oh, that pairings names! XD

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks!

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

The shirt did turn out AWESOME :D

[latenightarting.livejournal.com]

Call me completely flummoxed by your soft, delicate and beautiful pencils! Lookit their eyelashes! So tender and sweet and they are about to get busy with it...

And I don't even go for Sukov normally.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

thanks! i really waffled about shirt/no shirt for Chekov. In the end, I figured it made more of a story. Not a plotty one, mind... ;p

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! What a lovely thing to say! (esp since I fangirl you liek woah).

Pencils are my default media. That is what I started out with, and def where most of my skillz lay.

I don't ship Sukov either, although the pairing is cute and totally believable. Also, these two reboot guys? yeah, I'D HIT THAT! WITH MY VAGINA!

I am TOTALLY a Sulu/Chekov girl!! (and a Kirk/Bones girl, and a Spock/Uhura girl, and a Anyone/Pike girl, and a Gaila/Everyone girl and you can take all those people and have them sleeping with each other and I'm still happy)

Gah, this is lovely, and seriously, who's looking at the shading?! Sulu is bare-chested and Chekov is all pleading-puppy-dog expression! *squishes them* So awesome. You. Are so awesome.

Now that I've finally seen the movie, I can appreciate what a wonderful job you did here. I love Chekov's expression, it's so in-character.

[waise-du-zarroc.livejournal.com]

I adore Checkov. He's my favorite character from the new movie, I think.
