LOOK KAT I FIGURED OUT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BRUSH PENS YAY

firstly, they really didn't look cross-eyed before i filled the eyes in. that really pisses me off but can't be helped. also, i realize i sort of dicked out on the sleeves, but i realized a little too late that in my attempt to not fully colour, i had to better think where i marked BEFORE i marked it. putting the colour where i usually put my darks wasn't going to work because it didn't involve my usual process of layering and blending.

additionally, my favourite part is their hair. rufus' didn't look so hot at first, but now i think it didn't turn out that bad. reno's i'm in love with. so much so, i do believe i'll have to do another one in this manner. CHAIR RACING PERHAPS?!

warning - self-righteous banter about fandom ahead:

contrary to popular fandom belief, i doubt rufus was whiny, angsty or otherwise completely emo in childhood. while i do not support BC at ALL and think that it's one giant plot hole, it does rather suit my purposes for maintaining rufus' waivering masculinity. back in the days of the actual ALT RP, i ran our rufus and BC makes most of his original backstory canon. so while making faces at through the phone on the way home from AWA, we started cracking jokes about BC, fandom and all other matters of things. this eventually lead to a long discussion about characterization, first covering the lack thereof in cosplay, the completely unfathomable in cosplay and then eventually degenerating to a discussion on how most of that was likely due to bad fanfic and RP. while on that topic, we compared notes on RP well gone and she started telling me about BC and how that mangles and fixes things all at the same time. after a great deal of discussion on this ended up coming forward and in the end, we decided that her tseng would hate my rufus, my tseng would have a soft spot for her reno, her reno would likely think my rufus was tapable and my everyone would think her elena was a tard. subsequently, her elena would hate almost everyone i had to throw at her.

ALL OF THAT ASIDE, it lead to some funny 'random thought while at work/in class' moments and we would occasionally sit and compare notes. a lot of it was hard for me to honestly draw but after a bit, it fell into a rather nice pattern and i got some really neat shit out of it. nothing was worth posting until now, as most were imbedded in notes for linear algebra and PG2. despite the psychonauts/kh2 kick i've been on lately, i found myself doodling reno looking devious. i decided to make it BC!reno (sans ponytail) and to go with it, since i needed the practice anyway, put a BC!rufus down next to him, conspiring over what else they could POSSIBLY get away with besides chair-racing. i neglected bringing any prismas to class and had the faber-castells handy and VOILA. practice
