Artist's Comments

Finally it's done. This picture took way too long to be finished and I promised *Larissa-Bright my part of your crossover exchange for nearly two month now... but better late than never, it's done.

You might know Letitia, but the guy is NOT Ronan, even though he resembles Ron a lot XD But the man next to Letitia is *Larissa-Bright's character Hugh.
Some time ago we had a nice talk about how Hugh and Letty would've been a "duo infernale" if they would have ever met in Letitia's uni time in England.

---- you can skip this random character talk if you want ----

When I re-inked the picture (what took nearly two hours because I was slow) I had to think about how Hugh and Letitia would have met... maybe in one of the student's bars at a party XD I think one of Hugh's flatmates was a student... so Hugh might have heard him talking about a party and I think he would never miss a chance for a good party.
And in her university-years Letty went to a lot parties XD So a good chance for them to meet.

And both are interested in art :3 So since Hugh is from London I'm sure he knows every art gallery in town and Letty would urge him to show her around :3

And just to be clear, that would've been before she met Ronan, and besides that, she never dated Ron in university XD But I don't think Ron would like Hugh... Hugh might resemble Ron but they're totally different.

But I really like the idea of Hugh and Letty as friends. I can imagine many funny things they would've done and they would've been such a bad influence on each other XDD

--- end of random character talk ---


So yeah... the scan is bad... not as bad as I feared... but still bad enough since many shadings went missing...
But it was so much fun to colour something after such a long time with no-colouring ^^"

The bench they are sitting on was inspired by an actual bench I once saw in a museum... and the art was totally random and just what came to my mind when I sketched the picture XD well, besides that orange "potato" thing on the right... that's inspired by a sculpture which is standing in my home town... but I still don't know what the artist tried to tell with it ... and the one that inspired me had pumpkins XD

I hope you like it :3

I don't think the scan is bad! It looks bright and colourful and popped out of my mailbox straightaway. I think it looks gorgeous! :heart: I especially love the crazy art museum and the mad bright green bench. I bet Hugh and Letitia just went there and sat on the bench and looked around and laughed at the weird exhibits. XD I bet they poked fun at the random blobs of stuff that were supposed to be "art" and that made the visit much more fun. :3 I adore Letty's pink hat and stonewashed jeans, and Hugh looks great too (and more nicely groomed and handsome than I draw him, which is a good thing :giggle:). His bag with the union jack on is made of win, too - it makes my heart happy. ^^

I bet they would have met at a student party Hugh heard about on the grapeline. He never misses parties, mainly so he can talk to and observe people (he gets bored when parties enter the drunken-people-falling-on-floor stage because people can't speak properly then :giggle:). In fact, I bet he spent a while observing the people at this party, worked out that Letitia was from Mexico or some other similar country from the way she looked and traces in her accent. Then he probably came over and introduced himself to her in Spanish, probably saying something weird and funny, because he's like that XD

:heart: I'm so glad you like it :D Thank you :hug:

XD and that sounds so much like what Letitia would do. And she would gossip about the people who visit the gallery, too XD And you draw Hugh so handsome all the time. But I'm glad you like him and that I did him justice :3 I'm still worried when it comes to drawing men ^^"
And yeah, I like adding Union Jack stuff when I know the characters are English :giggle:

Oh then I think he would like Letty's companie XD because she never gets that drunk ... but a little and she starts talking a lot, when she's tipsy XD

came over and introduced himself to her in Spanish, probably saying something weird and funny, because he's like that
And she would adore him just for that :3 there were people in her past that were not so kind regarding her nationality and so she would have been thrilled to meet someone who seems to like that fact XD

Ah, I'm so glad you like the picture ^^ your comment made my day :D Thank you :glomp:

Gossiping about people in the gallery would suit Hugh too XD Though he's not so much into gossip, he's fascinated by people.

Oh then I think he would like Letty's companie XD because she never gets that drunk ...
Hugh doesn't get that drunk, either (unusual for an English man!). He just finds it far more entertaining to be largely sober and laugh at all the drunk people XD Because he loves to talk and observe he never sees much fun in getting drunk.

there were people in her past that were not so kind regarding her nationality and so she would have been thrilled to meet someone who seems to like that fact XD
OMG, that's awful O_O It's real, though... I can imagine that. That would annoy Hugh - he adores people from other countries, especially if he can speak their langauge. He has his faults, but he's very unprejudiced. It's probably because he loves to travel so much and observe cultures.

Oh Letty is quite open minded :3 she doesn't always try to find bad things in people's behaviour or wants to make fun of them... she also acknowledges style and talent XD
But I guess they would have much fun trying to figure out what the people in the gallery are up to XD

Hugh doesn't get that drunk, either (unusual for an English man!).
Yeah... XD I've seen reports about young people in England and their drinking issues... but German teenagers and young adults have big issues, too ^^""
And I like that he prefers to stay more or less sober :3 I want to hug him now XD
Letty got drunk once... really badly... and it wasn't one of her best experiences because it took her 2 weeks to figure out that she hadn't spend the night with that one strange guy XDD it was when she decided to never ever get that drunk to forget what happend again ... XD

And Hugh is such a darling :3 he might have his bad habits but he's a good person and that's what I like about your character so much :heart:

Imagining into other people's lives is always fun, especially if you have imagination to make up really wild things. And I think Hugh and Letty both have imagination.

English men (especially young men) are awful with their drinkingXD If you don't drink loads, apparently you're not as "manly" as other guys. Hugh thinks this is stupid, though. He likes his drink well enough but he doesn't need to drink loads of it, and he's confident enough in himself (and his manlinessXD) to not drink loads just because everyone else does. Plus, he just likes laughing at other people's drunken misadventuresXD

Oh dear, that's a funny (but probably very embarrassing!) story. :giggle: Well, if Letty ever did get drunk around Hugh, he's excellent at carrying people home and putting buckets by their beds^^
