Tag As FavoriteComment		New upload to correct previous corrupt file. The original is 11x9 and this is just a detail of the couple. Inspired by all the Courtly Romance stuff I read doing my Medieval Studies minor.

Hrms, the guys head looks strange o.O I don't know why, maybe my eyes are gong funky cuz it is 1am. o.O but hrms what is the guy supposed to be and it may help... from what I can tell it looks like either a lion , or a wolf with curly hair o.O
This is soooo over-crosshatched. I'm giving serious thought to someday redoing it without so many itty bitty lines.

I need to find out how to shade like that!I usually do a nearly complete pencil shaded drawing and then crosshatch using it as a guide. 2 BTW they are both supposed to be Cats, but the hatching is a little overdone.

Heh, she looks annoyed.. He must be a REALLY bad singer and/or a REALLY bad player.. lol. Anyways, even with the flaws this is a great picture! He's a rotten singer and worse player. Heh 2 This needs badly to be reworked.

I don't see anything wrong with either of them. He looks like he can't take the hint she wants to be left alone. She looks like she's about to tell him to get lost. The expressions are great. So is the shading. The background just a little sparse, but so are mine sometimes. A very good drawing, keep it up.
I know it's pathetic to laugh at your own jokes, but this pic cracks me up every time I see it! XD

I love this picture! It's absolutely adorable and it looks like a start of a romance, to me. I love it!!! Keep up the fantastic job!!!

This is sooo cute! I love the expressions! The crosshatching technique is cool too. This picture is just perfect.

:-) Jessie W. Thomas replies: "Mmm, thanks. It's a pretty early attempt, but it does seem to work."

I'll sing you a song
of long ago
Of singers and dancers
both friend and foe

There was this minstel
who loved a girl
but he really stank
and she was a pearl

He tried and tried
with all his might
to win her love
both by day and night

But since he lacked
both rhyme and skill
She didn't care
she'd had her fill.

He tried and tried
and played his part.
Until she realized
he was offering his heart.

She was touched
and fell for him
He was estatic
Union was for them.

The rest is past,
and part of a song.
But they loved each other,
and it was never wrong.



*giggles* that's like the longest rhyming poem i've done.

1 Jessie W. Thomas replies: "Yay! What a terrific poem, thank you!"

Oooh! she's gona kill 'em! *gleeful giggles* Hmmm over cross-hatched? Yah.. maybe, but it kinda gives it this flair too, kinda like the feel it gives to the images. *smiles*
