okay, the scrap I posted of the original sketch never uploaded no matter how many times I tried to upload it. Let's see if it's here.

*sigh* Myesh. Here it is, my first attempt in a LONG time to render characters in a fashion at least approaching how they looked in a movie. (Harry Potter really doesn't count, everyone knew what he looked like before the movies, and I vehemently reject the movie design of Remus in my imagination) I used photo references and everything... And I think it came out semidecent, anyway

It's times like these that I envy photorealists and their ability to pack insane amounts of detail into a drawing. I am absolutely horrible at drawing machinery, I've no idea why I drew as much of those blasted mechanical actuators as I did, and after several tries to get the heads right, I thought to myself, "oh, bugger this for a game of soldiers" and decided to fall back on my usual overuse of gestalt Sorry, all...

It's not inked! I decided to try and see if my pencilling was at all colourable, especially with the softer airbrush instead of my usual hard cel-shading. I wanted to preserve the line quality here, as it just made the image all that much cuter... Aren't they just adorable?

As to the image itself, well, a friend and I-- at about 5 in the morning, so you can at least see the cause of such insanity--were talking about what a sweet couple the Octaviuses were and yadda flavin and one thing led to another until we came up with this lovely little domestic scene... I get the feeling the monicker "Doctor Octopus" crossed more minds than just that of that fellow at the Bugle, after all.

Aren't they sweet?
