Due South comic: Gardez-vous les rouges pour la fin?

[zelempa]

Totally at the bottom of my list of fannish (and real z0mg) things to do, but I drew a Due South comic. Because this is how I procrastinate. Kinda pointless script-wise, but I wanted some practice drawing the guys. Why? Well, you just never know when that skill is going to come in handy! (Plus, I'm overdue for a Ray icon.)



Title: Gardez-vous les rouges pour la fin?
Fandom, Genre: DS, F/K preslash
Length: 2 pages
Rating: G. Nothing to warn for (sadly).
A/N: Missing scene from 3x10 "Perfect Strangers." Ray's not so good at waiting. Thanks to the Cap it! Before I die of waitin'! screencap gallery for reference photos.

Hee. Ray is terrible at waiting.

Were you planning on dropping a link at ds_noticeboard?

Oh man, it didn't occur to me because it's - kinda rough and practice-y, the script, I - okay. My art insecurities are probably of no interest to anybody. Yeah I'll post it.

You have got to be kidding. due South has so few artists that we treasure each and every one of you like you are made out of gold...*g*

I guess it's a small fandom these days since it's been off the air so long, but man! Why not? Those guys are so fun to draw!

[akamine_chan]

No, not small. Just very, very spread out. And for some reason, not a fandom that attracts many artists.

Nice.

Love that site. They're so pretty.

Thanks! I love it too--sometimes I just scroll through the caps and go, "Awwww." (Is that weird? Especially this one (http://www.ckr-pg-caps.net/due_south/ds_41/original/burning_down_the_house_091.html). And um this one (http://www.ckr-pg-caps.net/due_south/ds_47/original/seeing_is_believing_215.html).)

Oh, happy sigh.(for the screen caps) And I kind of like Ray's hair flattened down sometimes. He seems a little more, I don't know, kind of softer, kind of younger, a little vulnerable. I really liked him wearing that hat in Call of the Wild. But I like him all intense, and edgy with energy vibrating out of his pores and with his spiked up hair. And Fraser, Oh, my. I could spend all day, week, month watching my new DVDs again.

I read your screen caps too, today, and I really enjoyed them. Haven't read your new DS story, but I'm planning on it after I get something in the work category accomplished today.

I know the feeling! So much DS fic, so little time. (And TS fic... and SGA fic... sigh!)

I love Ray's hair flat too--I think he is totally prettier that way. But you need the spikes to balance it so it's a happy surprise.

Fraser is beautiful. I don't think I have found a way to do him justice yet. I'll have to work in it. ;)

Hee! that was adorable. And you've captured the contrast between them, scruffy vs. clean cut so well. Ray's hair!

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Ray's hair is the best to draw.

Hahah, that is awesome. I really like the expressions on Fraser's face.

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I have a tendency I think to over-detail Ray cause his face is so weird, and then under-detail Fraser which I think actually works better, cartoon-wise. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it. :)

That was adorable :-)
