[Art] - Diablo Rojo & Confucius say dumbshit

Title: Diablo Rojo
Rating: G
Fandom: hahahaha. :D Surprise!
Notes: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOU :O Also, if you don't recognize him I'm probably going to cry. (Okay, not really.)

So I tried doing (two) Hambert(s) - which, for the record, is a character of jou's - aaaand I hope I got him right. :o I mostly based myself on the last illustration you posted of him. Ah, people who do not obsess over tags... ;P

This idea flashed in my head almost as soon as Diablo Rojo started playing in my head - which is why the picture's got that title. (I really suck, suck, suck at picking titles. The only other option was something like "flash" or "lightouse". So Diablo Rojo it is... even though it doesn't have even a hint of red.) I love that song so, so much. The quality on the video isn't astounding, but it was the best I could find online. ;)

...incidentally, I also wrote "surprise!" under fandom because, I have to admit, I had no idea what the fandom name was. :P

Title: Confucius say dumbshit
Rating: G
Fandom: Liquorverse
Characters: Rickey and Paco!
Notes:

HAHAHAHA YES I GOT ANTEDILUVIAN TALES AND I DIDN'T TELL YOU. :P Actually, I only got it Saturday before last - and I got all gleeful, thinking that oh, it would be nice if I could do you an illustration for each single story (which, yes, is the reason why I didn't tell you) - then real life (and hp_springsmut) got in the way, and I half abandoned the project until, leafing through a magazine, I saw a photo that made me go "Hello, Paco."

And I loved the Working Slob's Prayer. (The prayer itself, too. :D) I had this mental image of Rickey and Paco glaring at the waitress with the same expression - or, rather, Rickey doing the same expression as Paco - and I found it way, way too cute not to try and draw it.

Of course, the cute part got lost somewhere between my head and my hands. And... they don't quite sport the same expression. But I tried?

I also butchered brutally a sentence to make the title, I know, but I loved that line and it was really too long to make a title. :P




Happy happy happy birthday, darling. Seriously. I LOVE YOU. Now you'd better go, relax and let other people work instead, so that you can concentrate on having the best day possible, Y'HEAR ME?

I don't know who these characters are, but what I know is that the drawings are gorgeous!

♥

[kasche.livejournal.com]

DARLING! Thank you so so so much! :D :D :D I... haven't got the faintest who Hambert is either, actually. ;P BUT I can tell you about the second drawing - they're from a series I adore, by Poppy Z. Brite, which I usually refer to as Liquorverse (http://www.poppyzbrite.com/char_stubbs.html). :3 Basically, it's the story of two chefs living (together) in New Orleans. Do check it out, if you get the chance - I love it like I've rarely loved any other book known to man. :D

LOVE YOU!

[jou.livejournal.com]

I... WHAT... OMG. There are no words. YOU HAVE TRUMPED MY SILLY CRAYON DRAWING A THOUSANDFOLD!!!! *_* I can't believe you made me Hamberts, that is SO amazing! I do recognize him, I do! ....And with any luck, there will be a proper "fandom" for him soon. I hope this year. ;)

GHHH, and what I *really* can't believe is that you got Antediluvian Tales and DIDN'T TELL ME. Eeeek, I did so very love the bits with Paco in the Working Slob's Prayer, and his canning condiments to sell as delicacies, hahaha. And your drawing! Ha, little Rickey is copying his idol's expression! I LOVE IT. *mashes self against computer screen*

Not to mention the 3 e-cards you sent me!!! HOLY CRAP, you're crazy or something. This is not news... and it definitely got me up this morning!

NOT TO MENTION the package I just got from you containing art and FOOD! You feed me Bruni, I love you forever....

Seriously... I could keep gushing. You are WAY too good to me. Way WAY way too good. SHUT UP, YOU ARE MY ROLE MODEL!!!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

SWEETHEART. First of all, DO NOT DARE CAST ASPERSIONS ON MY BDAY CAKE W/T CHEFs! :O I will NOT let you!

(I've made fanart for a fandom that doesn't even exist yet. Have I mentioned that I love this fact?)

(Just like I am amused by the fact that our birthdays are exactly one month apart.)

I KNOW. NOT TELLING YOU WAS SO HARD. Honestly, to be sure I wouldn't let it slip I didn't tell anyone! We so need to gush over it. SOON.

The package got there yesterday? On the right day? REALLY? :o

And I am doing nothing less than what you DESERVE, I'll be happy to let you note! Except maybe from the crazy ecards. That's really mostly because I like to spam people. With crazy stuff. BUT STILL.

<33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333


Also. You are going to mock the hell out of me because of this, I know it, I just know it, but I have to ask anyway: what "tentative" name should I give the fandom for now? Because, er. I can't tag it otherwise! >.< My tagging soul is hurting at the thought of this-- this-- shabbiness!

[jou.livejournal.com]

WHY HELLO. I have been thinking about you all day. <3 First of all, I will give you the name of Hambert's "fandom" to soothe your aching soul. His story is called "The Misters", so you can tag it as such. :3

....And then I shall tease you mercilessly for your tag obsession. (And hire you to go back and tag my LJ for me because uuuuhhhhhh, I haven't made a single tag for it.)

and OH, my Liquor obsession is slowly coming back to me! I found myself idly sketching chefs kissing while at work today. :3 It's been a rough month but I greeeaaaaatly anticipate the return of my conscious mind, and my ability to enjoy life and things today.

... I plan to write you an email soon. <33333 HI, I LOVE BRUNI.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

I THANK YOU FOR THE BOTTOM OF MY TAGGINGLOVING SOUL.

(Also. Er. Did you mean the bit about tagging your journal? ;P I'm crazy enough that I might take you upon it, you know. *g*)

And oh darling, I welcome it back too, and I am MORE than willing to keep on feeding it. *g* Like, for instance. Wasn't Henry the sweetest thing EVER? I was afraid I wouldn't be too interested in the rest of the Stubbs family (...on anyone that wasn't Rickey or G-man, really), but I needn't be. I loved all of them. ♥

Oh HI, I LOVE JOU. <3333333333 It's so very, VERY good to hear that you're getting better. (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v363/Kasche_Arbadel/Smilies/?action=view&current=love0031.gif)


(Also, the user who just friended you? WASN'T ME. NOT AT ALL.)

[jou.livejournal.com]

OH DEAR. I had not thunk too seriously about the possibility of you actually tagging my LJ. *boggle* In fact, I'm not even sure that my current layout supports tags at all! I keep thinking that one day I'll just go back and tag all my art posts with "art" or something lame, so people can find them easily...

...Nothing so crazy as your list o' tags, my dear. BUT I COULD HIRE YOU TO DO IT ANYWAY. 8)

Also, also, also. AWWWE, the Stubbs family! I found Henry adorable, actually. Adorable and awkward and in love, the poor thing. Also, I have to make time to go back and read again but... Heeheehee, the scenes with baby Gary! Omg!

(PFF, and that wasn't you? What the heck was the point in me friending back, then?) *hug* I have more questions when I'm more awake!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

BABY GARY. Didn't you aww and squee and had many other embarrassing behaviours as if you had him in front of you? (Or the bit with him and Rosalie in The Feast of St. Rosalie. Awww. AWWW.)

(As as for what I meant to do with it? I HAVE NO IDEA. For the moment it's just supa locked. :P)

[trolleys.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous contrast in these, especially the first one! You render faces so well. :)

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D I'm glad to hear that - and especially hearing it from you. ♥

[spacedye-vest.livejournal.com]

What can I say other than: I told you so! :P

these are so so so so gorgeous. And the first one is absolutely amazing, every time I see it my reaction is: O_O Brilliant, terrific stuff.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

You've been saying that phrase to me waaaaaaay too often lately... ;P

I LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU!

[quartetship.livejournal.com]

*random story of squee*

I friended you a while back to keep up with your -Remus/Sirius- art. Then today I realized you also do art from Poppy Brite's fiction... I think I just died.

You = multifandom love <3

*bounces off to look at the rest of your Liquorverse work*

[kasche.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. You another fan of Poppy's Liquor? (I have read a couple of her other horror novels, and I liked them, but the genre never really held my attention for long... so all my devotion goes to the Liquorverse. ;) )

Thank you! ♥♥♥

[remeciel.livejournal.com]

How LOVELY! the first one! their poses! utterly gorgeous! :DD

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Darling! Thank you SO so so so much! :D

[its-a-nono.livejournal.com]

Hello! I am a friend of Jo's who is stalking your birthday presents to see if they're better than the one I made her and they ARE! Wow, these are GORGEOUS! I love them both. Jo loaned me Liquor and the others in the series and I am a HUGE fangirl for the books, so I especially loved the Ricky/Paco drawing, but most of all I want to say GOOD FOR YOU FOR DRAWING HAMBURT! Become famous, Hambert! GO! Wonderful work-your people look so much like real people. That sounds ridiculous, but I hope you understand my meaning. I'm going to go check out the rest of your art posts now!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

I did get the feeling I'd seen your username somewhere, when I saw the notification :D

Hehehehe! Oh shush, I've seen yours and it's brilliant. ;D

BOY am I glad you like the series! I love it so so so much, so it's really good to see other people appreciating it as well. ;)

And thank you so so so much, too. You're a darling! ♥

[its-a-nono.livejournal.com]

Not at all! I love looking at art. Which I did lots of, after I left the last comment--I went all the way back and looked through all your art. You are GREAT! Yay, and we share a load of fandoms! Unfortunately I'm very bad at creating my own fanart contributions. Mostly I make them for friends, of their comics, when I owe someone or it's their birthday or Christmas. When I was a small child I had a conversation with a grown-up artist I met in a museum, wherein he told me that if I wanted to be a comic artist I must always draw my own characters and never copy other people's. I followed this advice religiously for most of my young life and while I think it helped me to grow a lot, it really crippled me in the area of being ABLE to draw other people's characters. Ah well.
Also, Jo and I have agreed that you have the best name in TIME. ^___^

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. All of it? ^^; There's some stuff - welllll... enough stuff, really - that, you know. I find my mind keeps blanking it out. ;P But I am glad you've liked what you've seen! :D (Although yes, I'm maintaining you're being too sweet to me. ;P)

The bit about the fandoms made me curious :D I'm guessing HP, and possibly Torchwood, right? Discworld as well? <3

Hmmm... you know, I'm not sure that's a bad things. I think it's interesting trying to draw other people's characters using one's own style, you know? :D I've seen a few - like, a tribute from a famous artist to another - and it always had a peculiar effect on me. You could recognize the character, but it had something... different. Something more. :)

*laughs* My name? :D Which one, Brunella or Kasche? ;P

[its-a-nono.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Brunella! I love that name. My name is Traci--not bad as names go, but nothing interesting or pretty like yours! I haven't read Torchwood, or even heard of it. Is it good? Should I check it out? I've read all the Diskworld novels and love love love them. The watch are my favourite--I have a special thing for Carrot and Angua. And Gaspode. I want to adopt a little terrier and name him Gaspode! Of course I've read all the HP's too, but then again...not many people haven't! I love that a series could be so popular as to get even people who don't read for pleasure much, like my husband, to sit down and devour an 800 page novel. It made me so happy to see my husband reading every night. We read quite a bit of the books aloud to each other too. I can't wait until my kids are old enough that I can read long books to them. Right now I'm limited to "Peter Rabbit" (abridged) and "Moo Baa La La La" *sigh* I have a bunch of favourites picked out for reading as soon as my eldest has the attention span, though! ^^

[kasche.livejournal.com]

*still laughing* With or without knowing that I'm practically named after a wine? *g* (Now, if you ask my mom she'll definitely deny it and claim it was because a colleague was named like that and it sounded well with my surname, but it is a standing fact that (a) Brunello di Montalcino (http://www.consorziobrunellodimontalcino.it/brunello/ns.asp?wci=home&lng=1033&cur=0) (fine, fine wine) exists, and (b) that my parents do love eating well and drinking better. ;P )

Do check it out - oh god, that series is so much crack. But with serious undertones, which made me love it all the more. Plus, Gareth David-Lloyd looks great in a suit and John Barrowman inspires naughty thoughts every day of the week, which isn't something one should ignore so lightly, either... ;)

OH, DISCWORLD. My addiction to it knows no bounds. I'm still catching up with it (as much as my wallet (and the bookshop assortment) will allow ;P), but I've just finished the Watch series. Carrot and Angua! Oh, the love! And Gaspode. Oh man, I LOVE GASPODE SO MUCH. You know the bit, in Man at Arms, when Carrot and Angua first get together - all that bit with Gaspode up to and including Angua thworing him out of the room? ('You need me!' the dog whimpered, as he was carried to the door. 'I mean, what does he know? His idea of a good time is showing you the Colossus of Morpork!') I laughed so much my eyes were streaming. Seriously.

And you know, I don't think I loved the HP books half as much as I'm loving these. ;P And isn't it so good when you get to share them too, and bring more people to them? ♥

(Speaking of children's books - have you seen "Where's My Cow"? ;D)

[its-a-nono.livejournal.com]

Oh, god yes. I own "Where's my Cow?" You have no idea how much of a nerd I am for Terry Pratchett. I also own "Nanny Ogg's Cookbook" which is the absolute business. I love food, love to cook, and absolutely needed with all my heart to know how to make Distressed Pudding. That book was brought down out of the sky by angels. And I agree, I actually enjoy the Discworld books quite a bit more than HP, I think because they're so funny and less intense to read. I get a lot of enjoyment out of reading intense books sometimes, but I admit my favourites are generally lighter fare. And I love me a happy ending. RAH, I just finished reading "Tarzan of the Apes" (the original Edward Rice Burroughs version) and I am reeling from the fact that TARZAN DOSEN'T GET JANE IN THE END. WHAT THE CRAP. I feel like putting my hands over my ears and singing "LALALA! YES THEY DO END UP TOGETHER!" Aw, I have no sense of good literature.

Anyway! I will definitely put Torchwood on my reading list! I'll check the library next time I'm there! Thanks for letting me know; it makes me so happy when people reccommend good books to me.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Oh boy, I'm afraid I might be becoming one, too... I have never been one for gadgets of any kind, for anything, but but but I find myself with an urge to get the map of Ankh-Morpork! ;P And oh, I did see Nanny Ogg's Cookbook around... and I'm stifling an urge not to get it. ;D I will probably lose, though, so it's all right. I mean, Distressed Pudding! ♥♥♥

I get a lot of enjoyment out of reading intense books sometimes, but I admit my favourites are generally lighter fare.
Yes! :D There's this one book I read, a couple years ago, which I absolutely loved - but I have yet to pick it up again, because it was so painful. (I also decided not to read the following book published by the same author, because I was sure it would disappoint me. How screwed up is that?)

Oh! No no no, I'm sorry, it's a tv series :D It's a spin off of Doctor Who, but can easily be seen as a stand alone. I have yet to see a single DW episode myself. ;P It's on BBC America, I believe?

[jou.livejournal.com]

*GASP* I SEE YOU THERE, MACKIN' ON BRUNI!!! (With the best icon in the known universe, I expect.) ... And yes, you two have Liquor and HP and Discworld in common, don't you!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Who would she be, then? The Paul of the situation? ;D (Or Helmut, or Ken, or... what was the name of that doggie-like guy again? I can't remember! :o)

...and I suppose I should stop thinking of people in Liquor terms, right? Right. ;P

[jou.livejournal.com]

WOOFER! <3

...And if you ever stop thinking of people in Liquor terms, I'm going to have a cry.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

POOR WOOFER. How could I forget his name? I love that guy so much! <33333333333333333333333

...yeah. Because we're talking of something actually possible, aren't we? ♥

[penhaligonblue.livejournal.com]

Mmmm.... gorgeous!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

[ourmutualfiend.livejournal.com]

Your work is just becoming more and more beautiful. I may need your advice soon!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

HONEY. *GLOMPS*
