Inception fanart: Smoke and fire

[loobee]

X-men thoughts coming soon *geek (cough) geek* But, I thought it may make up for choosing Team Angst if I post some art *runs to hide from some of her friends on the ‘other side’ *laughs** Honestly though, I went for angst as I’m completely stuck on ideas for the fest, I know I do angst better than romance when blocked.

I embrace pain, suffering and sacrifice, and gain strength from obsession. It is true that they have given me scars that will never fade, but for that, I am grateful, because they show me what is within me, and what is within reach of me.

TEAM ANGST POWERS ARE A GO!

Preview:




I drew this well over a month ago, but only managed to colour it recently. It was meant to be Bond Eames (Arthur was so Pussy Galore *sniggers*) but it changed so much, into more of a cop show vibe. How many of my kinks did I put in it? WOW! Tried to colour it a bit more realistically in the faces than I normally do (despite the lines). THAT WAS A PAIN IN THE ARSE I CAN TELL YOU. I have such respect for people who paint so well in PS, because it’s harder than it looks.

Oh, I love the perspective in this--how Eames' handgun is in the forefront. Great job.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much ♥ It's embarrassing to admit, but I had to pose in the mirror myself to get the perspective on the gun working XD

[eamesie.livejournal.com]

Wow, it's gorgeous. Arthur's face is so precious with his little smirk, I'm squeeing like a squeey thing here :D

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you ever so much hun *hugs* Hee, I love it when Arthur shows us that sly little smirk of his, it's like seeing the sun after a thunderstorm ♥

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

You are so talented, honey. This is GORGEOUS ♥

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, you've turned me all red, thank you, that really means a lot to me ♥

[ilovetakahana.livejournal.com]

Smoke wisps! Arthur's smirk and his GLOVES, Eames's tie and his holster! Oh god, I love this and I love you and WELCOME BACK although I want to cry because now we're on opposite teams and WHY LUCYYYY T____T XD Oh never mind me I love you.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like all those things luv, there totally everything I adore in life lol It's great to be back, I missed everyone so much ♥

Ohhhh I know, I'm angsting over being on opposite teams to a lot of my friends. But, you know me and my love for angst, plus I sorta thought the angst side needed more artists. We may be opposing but I love ya too hun, see me as the Eric to your Charles *winks*

[sparkledark.livejournal.com]

This is so gorgeous! I love Arthur's sassy expression <3

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you hun ♥ I'm wondering if I accidentally made him smirk like that because of the position of his gun *Only now notices that fact*

[arineat.livejournal.com]

GORGEOUS work, bb! Love it!

I look forward to your thoughts on x-men, even if I have to wait to read them. I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THE FILM D: D:

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you Rinny, it always makes me happy when you like my art ♥

I'll try to not be too spoiler-ish, I really enjoyed it though. Hope you get to see it sometime, I'd love to know what you thought :)

[heavenly-rain.livejournal.com]

Sexy boys are so sexy! XD

I totally thought about how James Bond it looked until I read the blurb at the bottom... Ok maybe the holster and the tie looks all cop show. But only cause you mentioned it! XD

I love how you did the faces... And Arthur's gloved hands... You sure covered a lot of the kinks there ;) If I didn't have to use my laptop for work that would totally be my wallpaper <3

Also GO TEAM ANGST!!! o/ *hifive*

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

They sure are, I miss drawing them.

It was the holster and tie that made me change my mind on the whole Bond theme, bit too 70's cops show I think lol The gun, the hold on Arthurs waist and, well, Arthur himself, TOTALLY BOND ♥

Aww thank you ♥ I did go a bit mad with them, I had to add my love for braces and waistcoats to all that XD

WE'RE GONNA ROCK IN A TORRENT OF TEARS AND PAIN (and maybe some squishy moments too, snuck in there, when no ones watching ;D)

[rei17.livejournal.com]

This is beautiful! *__________*
Wow!
The colors, the pose, everything. ♥

Sorry for disappearing on you like that. .__.
I'm not dead. *hugs*
I'm sorry to hear you heard a hard time (health-wise).

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you hun ♥ I was inspired by some art Nouveau work to do something pretty like this. So tempted to do more art like it again XD

Aww that's okay, no need to say sorry at all *pokes you* I've noticed you posting about TSN, I really need to see that sometime XD Thanks, it's been a scary month, but I'm much better now, and raring to catch up with everyone *hugs you*

[effie-chan.livejournal.com]

The art nouveau smoke coming out of the guns is kind of awesome. I also love the way the whole pic has this feeling of motion to it, probably due to Arthur's flairing jacket. And yeah I see what you mean about trying to make the shading of their skin look more realistic. I think it turned out well. :)

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you ♥ I'm really loving art nouveau right now, so the smoke was a wonderful way of sneaking that aesthetic in. I've seen artists paint faces more complex than the simple bodies, so wanted to try it out. I'm so glad you think it worked :D

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

THE GRIEF IS STILL TOO NEAR.

...but this helps.


♥

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it helped in a small way *throws woobie eyes at you*

Team romance will get Bunnie art though XD I mean that ICON afsgadsfs! ♥♥♥

Wow! I fail at this WEWILLCRUSHYOUTHING LOL

[koushi.livejournal.com]

Sooo beautiful! I agree that the smoke and perspective are amazing. I also love the soft lighting and shading and the variations in line thickness, really gives it lots of layers and makes it come to life. :)

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you hun ♥ I'm so happy the perspective worked out as I usually shy away from it instead of embracing it ;_; I Always change my pencils hardness for the lines, H for thinner and B for thicker. Somehow like you say it seems to make them pop more :)

[five-ht.livejournal.com]

SAD FOREVER THAT YOU JOINED TEAM ANGST, but I can forgive you because this picture is beautiful. dfnjkgf their expressions, and Eames' hand on Arthur's waist, and Arthur's on Eames' face omg. WELCOME BACK, LUCY AND LUCY'S LOVELY PICTURES. THE ANGST WILL HURT BUT IT WILL BE SO DELICIOUS. ♥

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

I'M SAD TOO, I ANGST I CHOSE ANGST, BUT ANGST IS A HARSH MISTRESS WHO IF ONCE SNAGGED, NEVER LETS YOU GO. I feel so evil but, yay for forgiveness ♥♥♥

Thanks hun, they so care for one another touching like that, despite the danger and guns ;D So possessive XD

DESPITE THE ANGUISH, TEARS AND BLOOD, I WILL TRY TO MAKE IT PRETTY FOR YOU ♥ Thank you sweetheart, it's grand to be back *hugs*

[tiger-iris.livejournal.com]

This is fantastic.

I love Arthur's smirk (and dimples!), so sexy. And don't worry, the coloring is great and the perspective with the gun is excellent. I'm so glad to see you back here!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much ♥

When his dimples come out to play, no one is safe from the charm XD How a man can look so dangerous and adorable, i'll never know XD I'm so glad, it's a bit daunting when you try something different than your norm :D It's lovely to be back ♥

[danifangirl.livejournal.com]

I love this. Like. A lot.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thanks you, i'm really happy you like it ♥

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

prettttyyyyyyy. :pets piccy:

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun ♥

[keelain.livejournal.com]

OOOH I LOVE THE SMOKE O: it kind of looks art nouveau?

everything about this is amazing EAMES AS BOND YEEEEEEES

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

It is XD i've been looking at Art Nouveau artists lately and completely fell in love ♥

Thank you Shu ♥ Hee, we all know he has all the DVD's and makes Arthur watch them, while quoting the lines perfectly.

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

Oh this is so pretty, I love the looks on both their faces. I've missed your Arthur and Eames so much. Those pants on Arthur, and those gloves, and their ties and Eames' braces and just ... man I adore this.

Yay team Angst!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, I missed drawing them so much too ♥ I noticed I have a habit of having them smirk quite a lot. Oh, one of the things I love so much about Inception is the fashions you can put them in. Eames especially seems to get away with looking great in not so amazing clothes XD

*High-fives* I'm so excited to be seeing so much angst in one place, we're going to be needing all the fluff in the world after all the tears XD

[johanirae.livejournal.com]

OH this is gorgeous darling! Just like a tv show promo photo :D

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you hun ♥ Oh, man that would be one TV show that needs to be done ;)

[knowmydark.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOSH MY PHONE WON'T LET ME VIEW YOUR ART FOR WHICH I AM CRYING FOREVER BUT YOU ARE IN TEAM ANGST WHICH MAKES ME SO SO HAPPY OMG

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Oh noes, why are phones just pure evil? Mine won't even let me on the net ;_;

AWW I'M GLAD XD IT WAS SOOO HARD TO CHOOSE MEL, I STILL FEEL A BIT BAD FOR GOING ANGST. BUT, IT'S IN MY HEART AND SOUL, I CAN'T DENY THAT. I need to think of ideas and start drawing now or I'll never post anything, can let the side down ;_;

[jibrailis.livejournal.com]

eeeeeeeeeeeee first off, I love the outfits, and then I was going to say more, but my coherenty leaked out of my brains. The smoke effects are so clean and stylish, omg.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

*Scoops brain back in for you* Those two will look great in anything, swear down. Not many people can get away with looking hot in a lime green tie, but Arthur, rowl :D I wish my language was a clean when I drew those lines, apparently I can't draw anything that's NOT wobbly with my tablet XD

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

GORGEOUS.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU, I'm really happy you think so ♥

[peperima.livejournal.com]

HEY HEY NO NEED TO HIDE FROM ME. GO TEAM ANGST!!!!!!!!!

Man I was so excited for this pic on your last post AND NOW IT'S HERE AND BEAUTIFUL AHHHH. I love their faces, the gun, EAMES BOND. You're brilliant! :)

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

YAY WE'RE TEAM MATES ♥

Whoot, i'm really glad you like the full pic. EAMES BOND is just so flipping fantabulous I couldn't resist. One day though i'll draw it like proper Bond, with explosions, bad guys and Arthur in very short shorts XD *blushes* Thank you ♥

[othertoys.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is so wonderful. I really like the colours and everything, really. _{I’m so sorry for my total inarticulateness.} Really fantastic work! :)

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you like the colours, as I swear that's what I find hardest about drawing.(Hey, no saying sorry here *pokes* It means a lot when people comment and say 'anything' LOL)

Thank you so much ♥♥

Thank you luv ♥

[sparrow-hubris.livejournal.com]

Arthur's butt is so pert and biteable!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Like a peach XD Eames' right hand is so skirting that territory, wonder if he'd be brave enough to pinch it XD
