X-men: First class art: I wont make you (Charles/Erik)

[loobee]

I think I have fallen a little in love with these guys…again ♥

Preview:




“You move that finger any further, Charles, and I’ll chop it off”

“Spoilsport”

“Cheater”

In addition, because it’s fun to show how things looked before I threw a rainbow at it, these are my original pencils.

This is the picture that has finally killed my computer. Photoshop crashed at least 5 times, and I lost so much of my original painting on this. It took me two days to colour because of the crashing, that’s a long time lol I’m so worried I won’t be able to colour any more art till I get a new computer at this rate. 

And, in case anyone missed it I drew Charles too in this post. And, again i'd like to pimp my Tumblr ♥

LUCY I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ;___; THE COLORS, TEXTURES! THEY ARE HOLDING HANDS! ERIK HAS SUCH A BESOTTED EXPRESSION, and just ;_________; can i hold this close to my heart forever

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

THANKS BUNNIE *HUGS YOU TO DEATH....WELL, NOT DEATH ;_;*I feel such a cheater because of PS freezing, I just though 'sod it' and threw loads of textures to at it to make the colours pop. Always amazed at what they can do to a drawing XD Only Erik would have the patience to put up with a drunk Charles ♥

You can hold it as much as you like luv, just beware of Erik's shark teeth ♥

[effie-chan.livejournal.com]

Charles' cardigen! Erik's turtleneck! <3 They are so recognisible, I'm still amazed. I'm a bit worried about the precariously balanced wine glass on the couch, though. That's bound to make a mess sooner or later.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Who would have ever thought cardies and jumpers could look so sexy? Thanks so much ♥ Ha-ha yeah it's really not safe there. Though Erik can always blame it on Charles for getting grope-y and cheating whilst tipsy ;)

[ilovetakahana.livejournal.com]

LUCY LUCY LUCY I LOVE YOU DESPERATELY. turtleneck! cardigan! that smiiiiiiiirk, Charles, you cad. God, I still love the joined hands. Post this everywhere, woman, everyone deserves to see the amazing :D ♥

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU HUNNY *huggles* I do love that slight smirk. Charles really is a bugger when drunk, next you know he'll be waxing lyrical about mutations and chatting up Erik hardcore XD

I'm not sure where to post it yet, so many coms, I do hate spamming them ;_;

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU ♥ Erik has to hold Charles' hand because it's the only way he can keep them still ♥ And, well, he doesn't mind at all really XD

ILU too ♥ I saw your new drawing over on tumblr, asgshs, it's GORGEOUS! (And the Eames one too, I would re-blog both it if I wasn't useless and knew how lol)

[sirona-gs.livejournal.com]

hgahjajf'gh'gh ADORABLE BOYS IN LOVE ARE ADORABLE. <333333333333333 You've got them so well! I love their clothing, especially Charles'!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you hun, it's so hard to draw other guys after doing Arthur and Eames for almost a year ;_; But I think they're lovely and it was so much fun ♥ I love his cardigans XD

[rei17.livejournal.com]

I haven't even seen the movie yet (but obviously I should!) but those two look gorgeous! Especially when it's you drawing them. <3 James McAvoys face looks just perfect! *_*

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you Rei ♥(Yush! I'd really love to know what you thought)They are so married in the movie, it's ridiculous, but beautiful and sad. Awww *blushes* I guess i'm lucky because I get to draw all these handsome men. I looked long and hard at McAvoys face to get him down, such a hardship LOL

[arineat.livejournal.com]

OOOH bb, I love this!

Also, did I know you had a tumblr? I DON'T KNOW! *rushes to check if I follow you*

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thanks ever so much Rinny, I'm really glad *hugs you*

I got it a few days ago, not much posted there as i'm unsure how it works right now. Took me forever to work out how to like something. I feel so old lol

[celemie.livejournal.com]

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

LADSBHLSDKJLDSHJCSVKJLKFJ

CARDIGAN/TURTLENECK I SHIP IT!!!!!!!!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

I'M REALLY HAPPY YOU LIKE IT THAT MUCH HUN ♥

Erik's trying so hard to be serious, but really who can be with Charles completely out of his tree, leaning on him, and cheating blatantly ;)

LOL that's a ship I can get behind, sexy, sexy jumpers ♥ Okay the whole 60's outfits they wear are pure sex on legs ♥

[forgerness.livejournal.com]

First - you are just so amazing with backgrounds and textures. <3 I am so in love with this! Everything in this picture has its own unique, realistic texture and it all comes together to form such an aesthetically pleasing composition. And I love the way that you draw people. Charles is so sexy and Erik is just great - AND HIS TURTLENECK. I love the scene that you've created here. You are so talented and I am constantly impressed with the quality of work you put out.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

I'm sort of lost for words how to reply, as you give the best feedback ever, thank you ever so much ♥ I love adding texture to drawings, sometimes like on skin, they can make it come to life. Would you believe once upon a time I really couldn't draw people very well, it always means a whole lot when you guys say I do. It does help that i tend to draw from the most lovely guys lol

Again, thank you so much for the lovely comment *hugs*

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Is he making the chess board float??? *__*

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

He is XD Charles has grabby hands so it was the safer option ♥

[keelain.livejournal.com]

gaaah I need a new tumblr @_@ mine is so full of random crap.

HAHA I LOVE THEIR DOMESTICITY <3 and btw I am particularly attracted to the clothes you drew on Charles right now

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Aww but it's cool random crap, you have the most awesome suits on it Shu ♥ So many ideas right there XD

I wanted to draw a sweet moment before the angst to come ;_; Hee, who would have thought a cardie like that could look so cute?

[koushi.livejournal.com]

I haven't even seen this movie yet, but I had to come and stare at your gorgeous picture. HOW DO YOU DO IT? Your colors and texture are always... incomparable. I mean, I can't even. Literal eyecandy. I'm so in love with your style. <3333

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you for coming to look, I hope that you get to see it one day ♥ I HAVE NO IDEA!!! I always just throw on colours I think look good, what is colour theory? *laughs* Though I will admit i'm a sucker for pretty things, and it comes out in my art XD

[delires.livejournal.com]

I don't actually like this ship...or the movie. BUT. This picture is awesome. I love the composition and the earthy colours and all of the textures. Charles was one of the few good things for me in that film and he looks like a total dude here - like, literally...looking at his face in your picture is making me grin, because I can practically see him moving and hear him thinking. I LOVE HIM. You are too good for Erik, Charles. COME HERE TO ME AND I SHALL TAKE CARE OF YOU. ♥

sgfsfh I can't believe I am commenting on something X-men. BUT HERE I AM. YOU MADE ME DO IT BY BEING GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO. /o\

Lets see how many hearts I can put in this

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

It means a hell of a lot to me that you'd check this out despite everything, THANK YOU ♥ So chuffed you love the colours, i'm really taken with 60's and 70's browns right now, I blame watching Life on Mars again. He was a total dude, and a lush, with his groovy baby and dodgy chat up lines (had to laugh as he almost, but not quite, slipped in to Austin Powers territory.) I adored Charles so much ♥ I'M SURE HE'D RUN OFF WITH YOU IN A HEARTBEAT ♥

IKR. Best bloody compliment EVER ♥♥

[templemarker.livejournal.com]

You are so goooooooooooooooooood.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Aww you've gone and turned me all red now, thank you so much ♥

[cmonkatiekatie.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, this is so fantastic. The details! The wine! I want to grab on to their sweaters!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you hun ♥ I think they'll be a lot of sweater grabbing to come once they finish the wine *winks*

[johanirae.livejournal.com]

Oh this is so sweet!!! :-) :-) :-) darling I love how they just can't let the other go

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm really happy you like it ♥ You know that sums up their relationship so well, years later, bitter enemies, and they're still holding onto one another ♥

[peperima.livejournal.com]

man I HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! your art is so gorgeous ahhh, I just love everything about this SORRY just all of it is so lovely I can't find anything to say specific /dying!!!

[peperima.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry about your computer though! D:

[idioticonion.livejournal.com]

Like everybody else, I'm loving Charles's cardigan. But I also love the way you've drawn McAvoy's nose! You've really got his look down.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

I love that he has such old man clothes but he looks so lovely in them XD Thank you, it wasn't easy to draw it, but his nose is so distinct he wouldn't look like James if I hadn't tried hard XD

[hikki-passion.livejournal.com]

Haha charles the cheater! lol i am sorry about the computer, i always use an external hard drive because my laptop can't handle it.
I second the sweater love! And also toes! I love the toes <3

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Hee, it's the only way he'll best Erik while so flushed on wine :D Thanks, i'm backing up to my external now just in case it goes down.

My friend wondered why Charles had such pale feet, I had to tell him they were socks, and I like showing toes in them *shakes head*

[amuly.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOSH, ERIK. YOU ARE SO IN LOVE.
:DDD
So cute. Love this.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

He's trying so hard to hide it XD

Thank you ♥

[fenriss.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I am so impressed by the quality of artists in this fandom. You are amazing! Sorry about the crashing, though.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Me to, i've been looking through the art on tumblr and Deviant art and i'm blown away. Thank you so much ♥ I'm telling myself the crashing is a good excuse to buy a new computer, which means I can draw more XD

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

THIS IS AMAZING!! I LOVE the coloring - love the expressions, the body positions - Erik's sweet, indulgent expression, Charles being a gung-ho weirdo in his own Charlesy way, the HAND HOLDING!! the outfits! the red wine and chess board! You've captured them beautifully, they look so much like them. This picture makes me happy.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you ever so much ♥ I was so sure they had such quiet moments like this, even after the chess playing and the serious 'there can be no peace talks'. Charles is such a lush at college, so wanted to add that to his home life too. It's so very hard to draw actors and it makes me really happy to know I captured them well.

Oh, also thank you for the rec, that was really lovely of you ♥

[chiasmus.livejournal.com]

This is so lovely! Hand holding. ♥ :D You draw them both superbly.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you ♥ We all needed to see them holding hands ♥

[ibonekoen]

I love this so much. :D Gorgeous work.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you, i'm really glad you think so ♥
