X-men: First class fan art- Autumn emotions

[loobee]

Sorry, I'm spamming with art again. Because of my computer problems I've been really bored, I draw a lot when bored.

Preview:



Isn't it beautiful, Charles?

//Yes, it is.//

You're supposed to be looking at the metal sculpture Charles ;) (I have this thing for moving leaves, don't I?)


Hello Erik.

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.

Kate Bush is wonderful inspiration ♥  Charles has such a hard face to draw, originally almost scrapped this as I thought it was so awkward and I had messed it up facially, not enough emotion there. Though I need to draw a follow up to this of forgiveness and reconciliations, that will hold more emotions. Had to put their radar dish in there XD

I really want to change my style....

Oh wow these are stunning! I love the colors and the men's faces. I think you captured them perfectly! Love the details, too, like the pattern of their scarves and the leaves blowing past them in both pictures. Awesome work!!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the lovely comment ♥ I'm really happy you like the details, I love putting in small things like that.

Gosh, these are both so beautiful. Especially the first one.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you, i'm really happy you like them ♥

[darlinglileve.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous Illustrations!!!! :D

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

You captured them wonderfully. And the fall colors are so vibrant. Aw, and the radar dish! Now I'm happy and sad at the same time. Is that possible?

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

It is, it's how I felt all through the movie. I think they stole away with my heart and forgot to give it back XD

Thank you ♥

[carpediem-14.livejournal.com]

The first one is so beautiful! I love the colours!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sunsets are amazing ♥

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

Both of these are gorgeous, but I'm not actually sure I can deal with the second one. Especially with those lyrics. OH MY HEART. There needs to be accompanying fic YESTERDAY. *claws at face in delight*

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm really glad you like them ♥ There does need to be fic, it needs to heal our hearts, and Erik's too by the looks of him :D

[almostnever.livejournal.com]

Both of these are beautiful. Gorgeous color schemes, especially. Erik looks great. Charles seems like a very difficult likeness to capture, but he looks right in both these pictures, and your depiction of him face-on in the first image is exceptional. I also love the metal sculpture and the bare tree in the background of the first one, and Erik's subtly expressive body language in the second.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you for this lovely comment ♥ I really wanted to capture all the colours of Autumn in these. Charles can be a nightmare to draw, James has such an expressive face which help relive that somewhat.

[drwhorose.livejournal.com]

These are lovely, especially the colors. I am truly struck by the drastic change of facial expression on Erik from one picture to the other.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you, i'm really glad you like them ♥ He was so happy in the first, feel so bad for making him so sad in the second, but damn that man for leaving Charles on the beach. I'm making him see what her really left behind *so evil*

[wednesday-d.livejournal.com]

Wow this is completely breath taking!! Amazing, beautiful art!! I love how you drew them and I especially love the second one, I just long to see Erik dealing with the aftermath, seeing Charles in the wheelchair for the first time and I really like how Erik's expression is so pained while Charles' is so much more tender and fond! And the metal bird in the first one is simple perfection!! Thank you so much for sharing these!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you so, so much XD Part of me really hopes we see such a scene on the next movie, there really needs to be some sort of follow up to what Erik did. I feel with Charles having the kids around, it helps him get over the grief of what happened to him, and he can move on without anger. I'm glad I get to share them with wonderful fans :D

[abandonedworld.livejournal.com]

oh holy amazing. this is...these are...wow. you are fantastic!

Absolutely love this 'ship and the heart-gut-wrenching aftermath of First Class and what may/may not have happened. Fabulous capture of that!<3

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Awww! Thank you, thank you so much! ♥

I love how everyone has latched onto that end scene, and we're seeing so many wonderful ways to tell what happens next. It's like one big fandom hug from the sadness of that beach scene XD

[sasha-b.livejournal.com]

Those are gorgeous. I love the "cartoony" feel to them, and their faces...they could leap off the page. Well done. <3333

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you, i'm so happy you like them XD I'm a huge comic fan so it sneaks into my art now and again.

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

...

Uh, I have no words...

Except that I'm going to be staring at these for like hours. Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Wow...

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Awww, the words you left mean a lot to me hun ♥

Don't stare too long, Erik will get jealous of you looking at Charles ;)

[scarborough1.livejournal.com]

Wow, I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon these... Lovely, most lovely. What a great artist you are!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you, i'm the lucky one for receiving such a lovely comment *hugs*

[texmas.livejournal.com]

A++++

These are amazing.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much ♥

[allonsyahhlee.livejournal.com]

These are beautiful! I really envy your style and the way you manage to capture their personalities so well in their body language.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Aww there's nothing to envy, though thank you so much for liking the way I draw ♥♥♥ They're so such bloody amazing actors it's not so hard to draw from them XD

[purple-spock.livejournal.com]

These are both unspeakably gorgeous and well done. Truly fantastic work.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you, that really means a lot to me that you think so XD

[ravyn-ashling.livejournal.com]

ohgod the things that second one does to my heart. ;A; gorgeous pieces, as always! ♥

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

It's leaving a trail of broken hearts behind it ;_: Thanks so much ♥

[htenywg.livejournal.com]

So, so gorgeous and I am entirely not surprised you're getting rave reviews on this :D Love how on both pictures Charles' gaze is the strongest and his expression the most compelling, even though the whole perspective has changed from the first to second to favour Erik more. You've handled the transition well, and there's so much in these paintings (?) that you could spin so much writing out of this...

How long did it take you, by the way? It looks like a lot of work!

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Have to admit I was VERY surprised, never expected to wake up to so many amazing and lovely comments ♥ Charles to me is always the one to show much stronger emotions so he became my focus for them. Erik's subtler, though his eyes are often always on Charles too in the movie. The last was Eriks moment to show an emotion he'd probably try to hide. I hope they really inspire people to create more stories ♥

Hard to say as I drew them in spurts over a few days. I think about 6 hours each or a bit more, i'm usually really slow to draw (terrible at time keeping XD)

[sentbyfools.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely gorgeous. Just...phenomenal. I don't know whether I'm more drawn to the scenery or the subtlety in their expressions. So much love. ♥

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, wow, thank you ♥ I'm so very glad you like them XD I normally chicken out of drawing scenery, but it just added so much more to the emotions ♥

[ikchen.livejournal.com]

Whoa whoa whoa. Gorgeous. You're insanely talented. And I'm a massive sucker for anything autumn related. Hope you're ok with me pimping these on my tumblr (with multiple links and credit to your lj and dA). Because... wow.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you ever so much hun *hugs* It's such a brilliant season, I'm so fond of kicking leaves everywhere XD Of course I'm all right with it, thank you for the pimp ♥ I should be adding them to my own soon, but I can't seem to log on lately D:

[dreamlittleyo.livejournal.com]

These are BEAUTIFULLY done! *stares* Seriously, the way you capture expressions, the way you draw everything around them, the COLORS. I could stare all day. You have incredible skill.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Wow! Thank you so much ♥ Whenever any one say I capture expressions, I smile like a fool as they're so hard to do. I'm so happy I get to share my art with you guys who love them as much as I do, I love this fandom so much XD

[phoenix-bellamy.livejournal.com]

SIMPLY AMAZING ♥

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Wow! Thank you for such a lovely comment hun ♥

[firnheledien.livejournal.com]

I just love all the emotions and the colouring! And it's great how you managed to keep them both looking on-model.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you, i'm so glad you like them ♥ It is hard to draw them looking like their actors, can't begin to say how many times I have to redraw things, but it's fun to at least try ♥

[cobweb-diamond.livejournal.com]

HOW AMAZING ARE YOU? PRETTY DAMN AMAZING.

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

ASASFGASGHS!! ONLY AS AMAZING AS THOSE I HANG AROUND ;P THANK YOU SO MUCH GAV ♥ MEANS SO MUCH COMING FROM YOU ♥

[joxem.livejournal.com]

omg! that paintings are really beautiful and touching.. really you was able to capture their emotions, the atmophere... really beautiful ;__;

[loobeeinthesky.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the kind comment ♥ I swear those two put so many emotions into my brain I had to get them out into art before I popped lol
