Discovered in the Christmas Tree, Day 30

An artistic cooperation today, as the lovely smirra agreed to join me with a wonderful contribution on this second to last day of the year!

"Together" by roven75:



Bodie and Doyle feel a bit apprehensive when they think about what the fen might have in store for them in 2012. But they're armed and ready, and facing it together!




"Blue Ray deep in thought" by smirra:





Wishing you all a good start into 2012, and may it be a good year for all of you, and for this fandom!

No need to worry for Bodie and Doyle. Obviously they are in good hands! :-)

Both works are beautiful!
The first one shows a heart-warming scene, that we all miss so much in the episodes...
And the blue Doyle is perfectly done - very thoughtful.

Thank you both!

Thank you Firle! :-)
Yes I left Doyl all alone, how could I?

Both of these are gorgeous. I am so unartistic that I never usually really appreciate the difficulty in getting a good representation, if that makes sense - it's all just beyond me. But wow, I can see that there is some talent here. Thanks so much.

Thank you for your nice comment!

Beautiful work girls, you are both very talented. I love hand drawn art, knowing how much of you goes into it. I can't draw for peanuts but my daughter is quite an artist and I see the effort that goes into her work. Thanks for sharing and you two have a great New Year!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you and a happy new year to you and your talentet daughter!

Beautiful work! You are both so talented. I love the detail in the first drawing, Doyle's hand on Bodie's shoulder. They are looking at something else but they are so together:) And blue Doyle is just stunning. Thank you for such wonderful artwork.

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Roven has done a good job there, hasn't she?

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh, art! Both of these are so good, yet different. The first shows a lot of love, with Ray's hand possessively on Bodie. I really like the colouring, the shades of tan/brown. It shows a lot of depth.

Blue Ray is so pretty. I love the side view of his deep in thought.

Well done, both of you!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I couldn't resist to give a thoughtful Doyle a try!

Beautifully and gorgeous artwork from you both! Thank you!!

Thank you I'm glad you like it! Happy and healthy sounds a good combination- the same to you!

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

What wonderful artwork, thank you very much to both of you!
And best wishes for the New Year!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

These are both so thoughtful in every sense of the word. Thoughtfully drawn with thoughts dominating both images in a different kind of way. In the first image they seem to be sharing the same thoughts - connected (and I've just seen that hand on Bodie's shoulder! Lovely.). And the second one is gorgeous in the way it brings out Doyle's beautiful profile and the way he's looking down, in deep reflection, is very attractive.

Really nice, thank you for this!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love the guestures in Rovens drawing, the way she even catches Bodie's features even though we only see his eyes.

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

They're lovely! You've both really captured their characteristic facial expressions. Thanks loads for these!

By the way -- huge apologies for posting on your day. I didn't know that wasn't allowed.

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
No problem, I think we all enjoy the whole range of wonderful posts. :-)

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

These are great - really! Different styles, but both are very expressive - thank you!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you I'm glad you like them. I'm chuffed :-).

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

These are both stunning, both so different in their own way, but beautiful. I am always in awe of such talent.

[roven75.livejournal.com]

Thank you hon :)
I hope 2012 will be a creative, productive and fun year for all of us!

PS: Your avatar = so cute :D

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Thanks babe!!

[cloudless-9193.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I'm so very very late. And I hope you'll both forgive me!

Together: I love what you've done here, their thoughtful expressions, the color and the frame, and the old paper look, and the hair. And they are really together here. :-)

Blue Ray: I love the color here too, the perfect profile you've drawn, the light blue shades and the hair. It would look fantastic blown on the wall. Blue Ray ;-)

[roven75.livejournal.com]

Heh, the pictures aren't going anywhere so you can't be late ;)
Thank you for dropping in and leaving such a wonderful comment!

I agree, Blue Ray would look great on a wall! We have to get Smirra to
produce more Pros art ;P

[cloudless-9193.livejournal.com]

That would be nice. Let's ask her when exactly she plans to launch her first Pros exhibition. ;-)
