These turned out fantastic! Each was so different and individual with such different effects!

Hello, Tin Turtle! I know it's very late now, I apologise... Can I post my contribution here? I also posted it on my LJ wall (I wrote a lot more there, but I don't want to overwhelm you with so many words. I talk too much and write like I talk, ha ha ha). Thank you for letting me participate!!!! HUGS!!!!

¡Guau!* Me encanta tu dibujo. No pensería en usar collage para llenar la página. ¿Qué es la imagen que usaste para el pelo de Doyle? ¿Es una oveja? :D

Wow!* I love your picture. I would not have thought to use collage to fill in the page. What is the image you used for Doyle's hair? Is it a sheep? :D

* (Una vez, cuando estaba viajando, pregunté a un amigo hispanohablante, "¿Cómo se dice 'wow' en español?" Su sugerencia fue 'j*d*r.' ¡Ai! Por suerte, buscé la palabra en el dictionario antes de trater de usarla.)

* (Once, when I was traveling, I asked a Spanish-speaking friend, "How do you say 'wow' in Spanish?" His suggestion was 'j*d*r' ['f*ck']. Yikes! Luckily, I looked up the word in the dictionary before trying to use it.)

Jesus Christ, I was looking for where you asked that on LJ, and I couldn't find the post! Sorry, I must seem ungrateful and rude, forgive me, Olly!!!! We call that fabric "corderito" (little lamb) because it imitates sheep's wool. I think you call it "faux shearling", "lambswool fabric" or "fleece", maybe? (Google is my best friend!) At first I used bronze-coloured silk fabric (since Ray is a bit red-haired), but when you looked closely it looked like he was wearing a shower cap, hahaha! Then I thought that the closest thing to imitating ‘curls’ would be corderito, and I found a terracotta colour that was fantastic!!! (I found the post, I couldn't remember how to get to it!)

Don't worry, "J*d*r!" isn't that bad. People in Spain use it a lot. Their "J*d*r, tío!" ("F*ck, man!", "Damn, dude!") is legendary. In Argentina, we use "Joya!" (something very good, that is well done, or a situation that turned out well); "Buenísimo!" (very good, excellent); "Está de p*** madre!" (when we think something is SO beautiful, SO well done that it exceeds our humble admiration), or "Está re-copado!" (generally used for parties, fun places, or a special object), among others.

Ah. That's appropriate, since Doyle wears a shearling jacket in some of the episodes. I was amused that it might be a sheep because, on the Professionals Community Discord server, whenever someone posts a picture in which Doyle's hair is especially fluffy, everyone else reacts with the sheep emoji. (Except me. I react with the poodle emoji. I am a rebel.)

The friend in question was indeed Spanish, so maybe that’s why he suggested that translation.

Don't worry about letting this reply slip by you. It's easy to do.

I was laughing a little while ago because, as I don't know LJ very well, I didn't know that if I go to my profile from there, I can see all my messages directly without having to browse through all the places where I posted something, hahaha!

I've seen the jacket with the "corderito" that Ray wears several times, it's very cute and suits him very well! Is it an aviator jacket? It's brown (I think I saw it in “Involvement”). But what I didn't know was about the emojis, hahaha! I'm only on ‘Chalk & Cheese’, I don't know any other Discord servers... snif.

This is beautiful! So much detail. Very nicely done!!

Sorry I haven't participated yet, but work is a bitch at the moment, and I'm always so tired when I get home. I hope I can colour my version one of the next days and will post it on one of the free days.

[tinturtle]

Don’t worry. The most important thing with the coloring is to have fun. I hope things calm down for you soon at work.

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

I love colouring images; it normally calms me down.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Great job! Yours is wonderful. I love the colours!

[tinturtle]

Wondering if this was directed at theyokotaibani.

I think she's referring to your drawing, TinTurtle!!!
