This is gorgeous. I love poses and the colour pallet.

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

oh god. oh god! these are gorgeous! and i hope this does not count as a kink (interesting men reading obviously interesting things), because that would be a little pathetic.

but there's something exquisite and unique about each of these portraits, they're all different despite sharing a theme. the different locations, the different expressions (Daniel's quiet, measured look at the viewer is KILLING me). the autumny touches in the Methos one, and his SCARF. and Rodney appears to be taking a moment to think about what he's been reading about, and i love this. and the slice of cityscape behind him is so well done.

A++, i really want to track down more of your work now.

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

I totally think interesting men reading interesting things should count as the best kind of kink. ^___^ Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. (If you track it down I hope the other work doesn't disappoint - I tend to meander through other styles at random.)

This is such a lovely idea, beautifully drawn!

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I love the muted colours, Methos' pose, the way he is holding the book, and Rodney's blissful expression.

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, this is gorgeous! This is a million times better than I dreamed! I adore Methos's quiet inwardness, and Rodney looking up from the book to the city that turned his book knowlege into real experience. I just can't stop staring at all three of them. Thank you!

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Eeeee, yay! I'm so glad you like it! Thank YOU for the wonderful prompt idea, this was load of fun to work on!

(If you like, I can totally send you a print sized file.)

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

*squee* Yes, please! Thank you again; I just can't stop staring at the gorgeous, gorgeous men.

this is amazing! the lines and the colors and everything are so beautiful... and..... eeeeee reading!! ^__^ I have no idea who these characters are but you've made me love them anyway :D

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

^___^ Thank you so much!

[karasu-hime.livejournal.com]

Very nice! I like the triptych set up and how each one is framed!
Wonderful work!

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

OMG I am not in any of these fandoms, but I love love love this piece. Everything about it is perfect... :D

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[rasetsunyo.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! And I certainly agree with the sentiment!

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Isn't it, though? ^_^ I hoped most of us could empathise.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

I like the soft, papery look to this -- it's really fitting with the subject material, and I especially enjoy the different location/background notes for each of them. It does so much in the way of characterization, even for somebody like me who has only a really basic knowledge of who they are. What a lovely, peaceful, comfortable piece of artwork!

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[tylercat.livejournal.com]

Rodney is so happy with his book! <3

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

He totally is! It was going to be a tablet computer and then I thought no - he deserves the indulgence of a real book! ^_^

[aurora]

I love this so much!!

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[bookshop.livejournal.com]

you know, i think i've only seen one other piece of art by you, but i remember it *so well* even though it was months and months ago that this is just making me gleeful, to recognize you again. <3 Your style here is just, just gorgeous. The detail and the composition, the layering and the coloring. Beautiful.

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you! I'm all curious to know now if I'm who you thought I was (and what the one piece of other art that made an impression was!) Thank you so much for the comment.

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

LKFHKDSJFHDKFHDKFHSKDJFFD SO GORGEOUS. Love the snapshots of each characters, the different angles and compositions and the colours. This is one of those arts that'll look gorgeous from far away or close up, because the colours and textures are so clean and precise and beautifully melded.

And the theme of books! And how their personalities are shown so plainly just by the ways they choose the read their respective books. You are so clever!

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

#^____^# Thank you! And srsly, thank you for running all this. It's got to be one of the more fun things to do in the season. ^_^

[somniloquacious.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. I'm so glad you went for all three! :D

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

[mllesatine.livejournal.com]

I don't know the fandoms very well but I love the book theme. The portraits are fantastic.

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The book theme just came out of the blue but it was alot of fun to do.

[mangacat]

love! *adds to the love*

[lferion]

Oh, gorgeous!

[enigel]

Eeeeeeeee! Three of my favourite characters, wonderfully drawn! I love seeing Methos so peaceful, deep in lecture; Rodney smiling; Daniel thoughtful, maybe ruminating over something he's just read.

[elynross.livejournal.com]

Wow, these are amazing! Just gorgeous.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

This is fantastic! Each panel is gorgeous by itself, but they work *so well* together. And your likenesses and coloring are just gorgeous. :D

[roga.livejournal.com]

This is gorgeous! I love their expressions, and the colors, and oh, the fallen leaves. Beautiful.
