Character: Apollo
Rating: G
Artist's notes: Opted this time for an individual piece (though there will be a solely Midnighter-centric companion piece for this in the future) because I really ... really liked the idea of Apollo floating in the air, just caught up in the feeling of absorbing the sunlight. Also, tried using the gradient shading technique, except that I didn't have a clue what I was doing -_-


*gurgles* Why can't I stop listening to Cher??? O_o

that, and I was just feeling too lazy to draw in the straps and boot and crap on the other arm^__^;;2006-01-05 10:40 pm (UTC)
I really love how the uniform's working out. I liked the redesign conceptually, but to be honest I was skeptical at first whether it would look Apollo-ish enough. Here, you've still managed to define his muscles and the fact that he's a big, potentially-scary guy (who's having the time of his life) without his usual peep show.
Also, that expression?

Also, um, last night I started colouring your card on the computer cos I needed to take a break from watercolours cos I was getting paintbrush RSI and is that okay? It's not as good as this but like, er, yeah. THEY WERE JUST TOO PRETTY AND GOING, "Adora! You know you want to colour us!" and I was like, "Yes! I am but a mere human and you are pretty gay superheroes and therefore I am unable to resist!"
Um *cough*...

Anyhoo, thank you!

Exquisite!
You're definitely feeding the plot bunny!

Gorgeous!

...And I blame you entirely for getting me into another fandom, you know. If it weren't for your art, I doubt I would've even heard of Apollo and Midnighter.

I already said how gorgeous this is. It is beautiful. It's powerful, despite what should be a vulnerable pose, and the gradient shading turned out lovely and effective. The edge of light highlighting the shadow is good, it adds somethign to the piece, a dimension it didn't have in the flat tone.
I love his new uniform. Er... hoe you don't mind, but the rp I'm in, he's going off to find someone to design him a uniform similar to this after a falling with Jeroen over 'everyone being able to see you're not Jewish in that thing'. I fell in love with this uniform. It's much more sensible and less 'I'm making you wear this because I'm a creepy pervy bendix'.

What I MIND is that now I have a mental image of creepy pervy!Bendix giving Apollo a tiny abbreviated lolicon French maid's uniform to wear while on base.
"It's your uniform, you have to!"
"But my wing-wong doesn't fit in the panties!"
"IRRELEVANT!"

Yeah, you can tell it's good because I'm not the first one to mention the sungasm. I love that the theme is Power but recharging his power makes him look completely

Makes sense, in a way. The only power stronger than his--he'd have to

Plus, your above conversation about where the Midnighter is tanned is guaranteed to keep my mind in the gutter all night long.

Really nice way of putting it, the thing with the sun. Wish I'd thought of it, though I'm more than happy my silly picture apparently put that forth ^_^ Thank you for the lovely feedback!
