AWESOME. xD I was scared someone might be mad at me for drawing them SO OUT OF CHARACTER... though I think Gafinilan IS IC, and who the hell knows about Mertil? This is just how I imagine him. x3
I don't really think it's that out of character. I can see Mertil having a more "Let's-make-the-best-of-this" kind of attitude, and that includes learning about Earth's culture. Think about it; they're millions of miles from any Andalite movies... And being housebound he's going to get bored. Plus, since Gafinilan is so sick with guilt over what happened, Mertil would probably go out of his way to try and prove to him that he doesn't need to be and try to cheer him up.
GDI, I'm back at home, without a computer with internet access and my damn phone keeps giving me the Image is Loading logo. Stop cockblocking, LJ Mobile!!!
Oh wait there it is! Sometimes images take forever to load, but not this time. But I can't read the text. Tiny screen is tiny. D: But I love their facial expressions! Stalk eyes ftw! Thank you!!
xD AWESOME. I'm glad ye like! HELL YES STALK EYES. I STILL KIND OF WANT THEM. I'VE WANTED THEM EVER SINCE I WAS 6 READING ANIMORPHS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND STILL WAAAAAAANT.
... :B It'll get even funnier when you can read the text. I promise. xD
Wow, you were six when you started reading them? So you've been a fan basically most of your life. YOU ARE SO HARDCORE! I was only eleven when they came out, so you got the jump on me there. But over half my life isn't bad either, lol.
One question remains, though: did you watch the tv show? Because I still have my VHS copies. XD
Let's see, it came out in '96? So yeah, I was six or seven. :3 Sylvers were made in March of 1989.
LOL YEAH TTLY HARDCORE RAAAAWWRR. xD Although... not really. Because it's been years since I've read the VAST MAJORITY of the books, and the only ones I own anymore are hardcovers of Visser and The Hork-Bajir Chronicles. :( So my knowledge is like... not at all up to par with a lot of people in this comm, most likely!
And no, I've only seen like, ten minutes of the TV show on Youtube. xD Though I have to say the theme is kind of addictive to me for some reason.
I'm just glad that the books were pretty cheap and the local Walmart carried them. Otherwise I would be a very frustrated fan. I still have all of them, even the godaweful Alternamorph book. And the tv show was such a giant cheeseball. I pestered and begged my parents to buy the tapes because we didn't have Nickelodeon, and then I made everyone I know watch it. It kind of sucked, but I didn't care.
Aww. xD Well THESE ARE THE ACTIONS OF A TRUE FAN. But hell, those tapes are precious now I bet.
I love the interwebs. All the books for free... I don't really have an excuse for not having read them all for years now, do I? xD
Also, I have a new reason to guilty-pleasure love the show and its cheesiness. I found the "DON'T GIVE UP TOM" scene on Youtube, and the song playing in the background OHGOD. Once I found it ("Song Unsung", by Eden White) and heard it all the way through... bawwww. Full tears. So pretty and weirdly close to home. But yeah, I LOVE anything that shows me new music! <3
gfdskjlgnfdskljgnfsdlgfdkj that is beautiful. BEAUTIFUL. and hte hair makes me think that maybe Andalites really did have hair like that they just had this weird cultural thing that said they had to SHAVE IT ALL OFF but really the could have these long flowing locks and...okay I should stop now, orz
Yeah, I have no idea why, but in my head Andalites have ALWAYS HAD WHITE HAIR. Just... ALWAYS. Book covers and pictures regardless, THEY HAVE WHITE HAIR. Just a weird brain thing of mine. x3 (I think it comes from my Star Trek fandom, with Andorians. Who are also blue, and with head antennae, with white hair.)
And dude, that's a really cool idea! Don't stop! :D Run with it!
Mine was actually a graduation present, so I dunno how much my aunt and uncle paid for it individually (though my mom told me they got an amazing deal xD), but I found a similar one on Amazon for $300.
BUT the program I use (which is greatly responsible for brush control and the painterly style I try to emulate) is called Paint Tool SAI, and I kind of want to have its babies. Kicks Photoshop's ass, that's for sure.
Ohmygod. xD This is awesome! Even though I usually picture Mertil more quiet/emo than this, he's just so darn cute here I wish to steal and cuddle him. And Gafinilan is priceless. x3
Thankyou for all your fanstuff of these characters, this fandom needs 'em!
xD THANK YOU. This was way, WAY too much fun. (I might have filled up an entire piece of paper, BOTH SIDES, with doodles of them, since then. x3 They awaken my inner sleeping fangirl. And hell yes, stealing and cuddling is necessary.
Lulz, I usually imagine them a HELL of a lot more serious than this - I just couldn't stand it anymore after writing such emo ficlets the other day. D: THEY NEED SOME LOVES AND HAPPY, DAMMIT.
But yeah. In my head at least, Mertil's the calm, more optimistic and supportive one. Gafinilan needs someone to balance out his DEATH, DOOM, DUTY, HONOR... gwumpiness. <3
