Heelloooo, there.
It has really cooled down, lately. It's still warm enough to say "hey, summer!", but we're not sweltering anymore. And since a fresh Bruni is a happy Bruni, and a happy Bruniis a has more chances to be a productive Bruni, you all get happy Marauders.
Don't make those faces, now. It's not as bad as it sounds. (And my productive streaks never last too long, so you have nothing to worry about there, too.)
(And you're not allowed to tell me that Remus' smile looks like a grimace. Even if it may very well be true.)

wild_boys, two of my favorite persons here, because they're them. As simple as that. A sort of "I hope things will get GOOD real soon." :D
I have a title mwahahaha The title is a line from "The Ghost Of You", by My Chemical Romance. The lyrics lend themselves so easily to... strange connections, let us say, then I don't think I need to add anything else. (Honestly, one line from there is quite obvious.)
...
Go on. Shoot. *covers head*
Honestly, though... I know I've done worse, but Remus' face still isn't convincing. It's not the face of someone who's howling with laughter. And god knows if I redid it hundreds of times. Fuckfuckfuck. I think I see now. Maybe I'll update the drawing later today.
ETA: I rescanned the pic, so now the background is an actual white... but I didn't touch it otherwise. So, any mistake stayed exactly that way. *sigh*

Good night! :D :D

Re: HELLOOOO, THERE.
on 2005-07-08 08:06 am (UTC)how 'bout when I actually wake up at a reasonable hour, you and Ni tell me what you imagined was happening and I do my best to summon up the Marauders to do your bidding? :D
and now really - now I've spammed the life out of your journal - BED for me ;)

on 2005-07-08 08:27 am (UTC)Wow. They're.. wow :D
You're adorable. Merci merci merci.
I'm glad it cooled off a little bit. It's all grey in Paris but I'm so pleased. Even if I have a snuffly nose.

Re: HELLOOOO, THERE.
on 2005-07-08 08:44 am (UTC)There's a problem about that fact, though. Meaning that I have no idea what they're laughing about. Like, at all. Ni and me never went much beyond the concept "hey, when I listen to this song I think of the puppies laughing themselves silly".
But maybe she'll have some ideas.
Or maybe... you could go on a free spree. :D
De rien!
on 2005-07-08 08:57 am (UTC)I'm so glad to hear you again! And that you liked it. :D :D :D
It's very grey here too today, and I've been a little too optimist while dressing this morning, but it's not so bad.

on 2005-07-08 10:14 am (UTC)You make me glad. And yes, as soon as I started plotting the image I decided Remus would have been the one with that expression, and precisely because of the reason you've said. And I'm so glad you noticed Sirius' tie! :D :D :D
*squeezes* ...and go back to bed, whatever hours it is there now 4am is so very late. :P

on 2005-07-08 10:26 am (UTC)And I love this. You're such a teaser! I woke up ridiculously early - 7am!?!? Drank water and I was going back to bed and I thought 'hey, since I'm already up I should check if Bruni posted something'
I've been waiting for more of that pic since I got that lovely boy in my email :)
This is so wonderful, Bruni. They're so happy (and mischievous)... I love those boys and I love to see them so happy.
So not a grimace! That's someone truly laughing. I love them.
I love their faces and their hair (I suspect James was suffering the Cocciante's curse at some point :P)... and is it the first time you draw Peter?
And James' hand on his face and his glasses and... Sirius' tie and...
I lovelovelovelovelove it.
And thank you for the dedication, you're one of my favorite people in the whole world too. Like... really really high on that scale.
I love you.
And now, bed.
I love you.

All right, maybe that's not a grimace, but not what I thought it would be (should have been, rather) either. :( James and Cocciante are brothers separated at birth, and as for Sirius' tie, I had an image of him struggling with it that morning... and then going "oh, the hell." and tying it that way. :D Yeah, that was my first time with Peter... (why oh why am I laughing at this?) I'd never even sketched him, so I sort of figured out how I wanted the parts to be as I went. ^^;
Love you a whole, whole, WHOLE lot. :D
Have nice dreams! :D

I actually fell back asleep last night imagining Sirius doing daft things with his tie, and how much he's thrilled to the very tips of his TOES that Moony's laughing like that . . .

I'm very glad you're obsessed with this pic, I'm obsessing over it too but I can't write so... yeah!

Point a, you do stick comics like nobody's business. And that's how we met to begin with, so there. :3 Then, if you think of stopping because of anything like that, I'll come there to BEAT YOU WITH A ROLLED UP NEWSPAPER. (Not that I actually would. But, you know.)

on 2005-07-12 03:36 pm (UTC)hmm, i really thought i commented on this. I remember seeing it and thinking 'holy shit thats awesome' but I obviously did not express that sentiment here to you. let me try now.
I love James' hair and the way his hand is over his mouth in the universal 'holy cow, did that just happen?!' expression, & I love Sirius' eyes and the way that somehow even without colour they seem bright. Remus is of course always love but I really love the way his eyes are scrunched up. It's such a hard facial expression but I really think you've got it. and Peter looks like he's torn between horror and laughter sort of like, 'I can't believe we did that and it turned out so funny'look. anyway, well done :D
no subject
on 2005-07-19 08:51 am (UTC)I'm truly glad that you liked it, and I appreciate a real lot that you left me such a detailed review.
James - leave a compliment on his hair and I'll love you forever. I've drawn him a total of three-four times, and it remains the part I find more difficulties with. :D I'm glad you think so of Sirius' eyes, too - lack of colors can often mean a lesser incisiveness of the picture. And Remus - well, Remus took a lot of work. I'm still not glad about how he turned out, but I am glad that you liked him. :D
Thank you so much again!
