GNUGH.

And either. Or both. Just. GNUGH.

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

MUAH.

And yes, I love it. There's a message for you on AIM too.

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

Pretty. *shoots self, as well*

[hak42.livejournal.com]

Awww...the cuteness. :)

I vote marker coloured.

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

Heee, I might wind up doing both, depending on how fanatically insane I am.

[rose-whispers.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I love this! The unicorns through the window made me squeal, and I'm not normally one who squeals at such things :D I love the fire and the coziness :D Have you cross-posted this to lupin_snape, hon?

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

o0 Should I? *has never even heard of the comm, let alone known to possibly cross-post it to there* :3 Hee, glad you like it!

[rose-whispers.livejournal.com]

Also, you win at life because you're listening to Eddie Izzard. Or you were at the time :D *is grooving to GodBowie*

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

:D I win at life anyways. :D

Right now I am watching Firefly. :D

[rose-whispers.livejournal.com]

Which means you win again. Which episode? (And I'm realising I didn't answer your above question- you should totally cross-post this to lupin_snape :D)

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

^^ Shindig, right now :D

(*grins* I'm about to post it there *purrs*)

[eponis.livejournal.com]

So lovely! What this makes me REALLY want to do is print it out and color it like a coloring book - the line art has such a beautiful storytale feel to it, with such pretty details. Thanks for sharing!

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

#^^# I've never had someone say that about my work before - I'm really flattered! (and could possibly even be tempted to offer up a slightly larger version if you really did want to do that *winks*)

Not a problem about sharing. :D

The little unicorns romping outside are what really killed me. Adorable picture! (Love the clothing. :D)

Re: here from lupin_snape

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

I'm a horrible fanatic about impossibly detail clothing. And I love putting people in it and then taking them back out of it again, of course and thank you so much. :3

<< Heeee, hey, it's a fantasy world, right? And it's not like they're in the room. It wouldn't be possible for unicorns to be in the room with them. *innocent grin*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_tyrell/]

I can't draw, but totally agree anyway -- those black wizard robes are boring; why not add the billowy sleeves and lace and braiding? Rock on, fashionistas. :)))

And I agree with the above comment that this would be a lot of fun to color. What can I say, I'm five years old. *g*

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

Heee, expect to see more complicated designs and fun things like that. :D

*pets* Awwww, you want a larger picture to colour? :D

[lore]

Hullo! A new convert! Over here from lupin_snape. :D

This is lovely. I especially like the detailing on their robes and the background around them. The unicorn paintings are especially amusing.

Thanks for sharing with us! Hope we see more of your work in the future. <3

love, lore

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

;) Hee, I tricked you to come to my regular journal luv! (tis I, jate_art where I've seen you around before :3) And yes, a new convert tis I.

*bows with a flourish* And you're also the first person who figured out that those are paintings, too.

<3 Yes, you'll be seeing more work of mine in the future.

[bagoasalexander.livejournal.com]

Either coloring technique will work, but can I save a copy on my hard drive and do some CGing myself? It's so hard to get such lovely line art Snupin wise anymore.

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

If you want to drop me an email at Jateshi (at) gmail (dot) com, we can talk about doing a larger version of lineart for better CG experience. :3

[kaleidoskope]

Very cool! I love the clothing, especially, and Remus' hand. (Ahaha, the unicorns.)

I'm voting for markers, cause I envy everyone who has ability with them.

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

:3 It's a lot of fun putting them in different and odd clothing, really - quite a lot of fun. (ain't they so cute?)

*ticks off another vote for markers*

[didodiva.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's pretty! It sort of has the art style of Escaflowne (the anime). Was that intentional?

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

^^ Thank you so much!

As for the art style, I tend to aim more heavily for CLAMP or even Sailor Moon or Slayers. :3

[underlucius.livejournal.com]

That's so adorable!

(lucius will NOT be pleased)

xxx

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

^^ Thanks so much!

(*meeps* I'd better start running now, shouldn't I?)

<3

[lychee1968.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! Lovely! I just love the wolf closures on Remus's top.

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

^^ Thank you so much! Hee, someone picked them out properly! *glomps*

[krissybl.livejournal.com]

Here via lupin_snape. I love this. I especially love the scenery outside the window. (and of course i always love it when our boys get so cozy) Welcome to the ship. If it produces such lovely pictures as this i am very glad you converted. (and don't worry about swearing against the ship before. We all make mistakes. ;)

As a side note: Eddie Izzard is only one of THE best comedians in the world. And an FMA mood icon? You're my new hero.

Keep up the good work, and again, Welcome aboard the good ship Snupin.

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

That must be a wonderfully active community, so many people have come from there and left me wonderful comments :3

The amusing thing? This is a quick little idea, not even one of the fully-plotted ones bopping my mind for production like the other Snupins are doing at the moment. I just got a little excited about a christmas card idea, not even something I'd say is really special. :3 (At least I can be forgiven this mistake ;) )

Yes, he is. And a I-made-it-myself FMA mood theme set. *poses* I am Jate, and I simply rock.

*bows with a flourish* Oh, expect more work. I have some sketches which want to get inked and coloured, and none of those are nearly this... *coughs* G. (since I tend to do a lot of R and NC-17....) *slides into a seat onboard the ship* Mhmm...cozy.

[pnkngrnd3.livejournal.com]

Also here via lupin_snape. Very cute picture, they look really cozy together.

About your comment in tiny print about swearing against Snupin: I wasn't a fan of slash overall, and now my OTP is a slash pairing, so tastes change and no one should really hold that against you.

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

I feel that if you're going to be on a holiday retreat, you'd better be all nice and cozy. (possibly with blankets and throw rugs, too)

See, I've always been a slash fan, for nearly as long as I've been in fandoms in general. :D And thankfully, so far no one seems to be holding my former position against me. *grins happily*

[pixychelle.livejournal.com]

Oh, so sweet!

Nothing wrong with your room layout. The background is wonderfully detailed. :)

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

^^ Thank you very much, luv!

;) It drove me insane, all that detailing. :D

[xiaogui.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's really utter cuteness... I love all the little details :-))

Funny, I think you are the first one I see in the fanart-world who is using Rapidographs (ok, maybe people usually don't mention it, LOL!). *is Rapidograph-fan too* ;-))

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

=3 I'm a little whore for details, I just put them in all over the place. Left, right, and centered - just all over!

I've found the same thing in my art classes and the like - people tend to use Microns more than Rapidograph pens, possibly because of the cost, never mind they spend more money buying new pens when they've broken the tips, and my little metal tips are all safe and perfect. :3 *snugs* YAY! We rapidograph fans must band together, there aren't enough of us!

[cassandramalfoy.livejournal.com]

AWWWWWW
Snupin!
^^
Hmm....marker coloured maybe?

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

I think I might CG it for practice and then also do marker, because the two always come out so differently. :3

[noagirl.livejournal.com]

Soooooooooo cute!! ^.^"

I vote for markers, personally.

[jateshi.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just?!? I had too much fun drawing it all :D

*jots down vote for markers*

[noagirl.livejournal.com]

Certainly looks like it would be fun to draw. ^.^
