I got to my printer's scanner! I'm going to choke you all with the scans of my sketchbooks!
(The text on the scans is barely legible, I added it in alt captions!)
First, I just have a bunch of Pol and Avdol pages and a whole page of Fem!Polnareff, based on @febreezylalala's designs. I swear to god, their impact on the entire fandom needs to be studied, designs so incredible that they start a whole new wave of fem drawings and fics, I'm just in love.
And just a few feel-good-ish numbers here! Yippee!
I adore Sherry, if you haven't noticed, but I don't draw her all that often actually. Do you ever feel so so enamored by something/someone that you're too scared to actually draw that/them? Yeah, that's what I feel with her. But I did want to think a bit abt how she could look if she did get to grow at least a bit older.
And this was supposed to be a kind of postcard with a picture of Nori and jean in front of the Eiffel tower. This is just me living in my delusions of "everyone lives/nobody dies" and imagining Pol insisting on a group trip to France, at least for the boys. Trying to introduce them to "real culture" and everything and them just going along with it all. (Also, added the kitty near the text based on the one from the moment in the anime of him talking about wanting to be a mangaka, I imagine this would've been his little mascot of sorts)
Also AvPol eyes in the corner, lol
And something I don't quite get, but like to explain with Polnareff's heart still being too shredded up after Sherry's death to love someone else. You'd think a big brother who had a little sister who liked to pull little pranks (at least that's what I'm going to call Sherry feeding Jean's fish to the cat) would love another little girl who's similarly a bit mischievous, right? So let me just bask in the silly little interactions I think happened somewhere in the background.
NOW, about time for an AvPol dump, yahoo!!!
This one I posted, partially, but I later added the little page to an actual sketchbook. I really like the left side, with the stickers and rapiers, so I chose to add another page! That didn't quite work out as much as I'd like it to, but just enjoy my ramblings on hanahaki and flower soulmate marks I'd assign these two, lol
And the top right flower spins, actually!!
These ones are a bit old, but nothing much to say abt them aside from the fact that I tried, lol
The pose on the first one was my magnum opus at the time, but oh well. Also threw in the close-ups I used to prepare for the actual big one, they do look a fair bit nicer, just for fun
And the second one was just two little sketches I did to vaguely "practice anatomy", if just to have a better idea of what I think their bodytypes are. I dunno really, but I did think it was a cute idea in the end in the sketchbook
Ooooh, and this one is based on that one piece from Veil (at least I think that's where the original came from) with the big billboard of one guy and another guy looking at it. I don't know, I just felt the overwhelming need to draw them together and that was the pose Pinterest gave me and that spoke to me most. This is supposed to be in my fic's AU, but I'm sure you could interpret it just fine without it.
And the Ma Meilleure Ennemie lyrics will be relevant a bit later, once I actually post the next chapter👀
Oh, and now all the sad nonsense I drew up
The first one is, again, based on the fic, the scars are from his fight with Rubber Soul and the hand coming up from above is Avdol's (yes, if I made it bigger I'd have it be cut off at the elbow). It's nothing coherent, I just wanted to practice my anatomy, keep it sad and revise how his burn scars looked.
And this is based on the Twins at the Carousel trend, but I can't be fucked to actually animate it all and make a full piece with nice lighting for it all. Again, I just enjoy my angst and felt like drawing
I have a few more I'd love to post soon, once I get the chapter out, but it is a bit of a struggle right now - another big fight I have barely any idea of how to write and actually convey all that I'd like or just make Jean win, lol
This time he kind of has to
Also I created this abomination (pattern from paperman2.com)
Love you always, guys, thanks for looking through my nonsense and I'm glad you're with me <3
