Fandom/Universe: Strangetown, Here We Come
Character(s): Ripp, Ophelia, Johnny









a/n: One day I will draw characters from this story that aren't Ripp, Phi and Johnny. I swear to God. But, oh gosh, they are so cute! They are SHARING A SCARF. Oh my heart! And even though it's not the first thing you look to, let me point out that they are all holding hands! And Ripp and Phi are so happy, and Johnny is like: "I actually do not hate this *small smile and blush*" and just... Weeee!

Ripp/Ophelia/Johnny ought to be everybody's OTP/3. Look at them! They are so cute and so full of the loveliest love ever.

This is wonderful. ^_^ And I really needed it right now. Thank you.

I was picking away at some stuff... actually working on something for that Pleasant-Grunt family thing, if you can believe it, and then I saw this. There's no way I could go to bed without commenting.

The drawing is gorgeous, and they look extra adorable this time. Johnny and Ripp are just dreamy. I can see why Phi is so happy (not to mentioned Ripp with his HUGE smile. :D I love when you give him a really big mouth like that).

There are so many little details I love in this... Johnny's elbow patch and the fact that he's too cool or tough to wear mittens :P, the perfectness of their coat types, and that little hint of receeding-ness in Ripp hairline. And the scarf too, of course.

Too cute... it's just too cute. ^_^

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, and their heads would make great little icons, I think. :) Maybe I'll give it a try later.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Go right ahead! Let me see them if/when you finish. <3

I'm glad you like it! I love drawing these guys, just love it. I was actually going through one of the story posts and I found the comment where you let me peek at one of the upcoming chapter title things and it was the three of them all snug in winter scarves and loving one another and I was like: "I am still incredibly fond of those scarves and this hug. There needs to be more of this." SO I MADE MORE.

Not perfectly in tune with their winter stuff, but the colors should be sort of similar a little. Though I definitely lightened Johnny's up and made it more Orange, because I love Orange and Green together.

Woo Pleasant-Grunt! I am looking forward to that!

I shall keep on giving Ripp a huge grin. It suits him, I think. I think my Ripp is actually a little wonked up here. His proportions are a little bit stranger than Johnny and Phi's IMO. But still, he's cute *snugs*.

JOHNNY NEEDS NO MITTENS FOR HE IS A BADASS. Mittens are for sissy girls like Ripp and Phi, who can not compare to the manliness that is Johnny. (<- is a lie, Phi is most hardcore)

I'm really fond of scarves for some reason. And I've always loved themes where characters are somehow connected together by something, Scarves or Strings or Shoelaces or Ribbon.

I really love these three. You've given them so much personality and love and I they totally have my heart.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THIS!

Their facial expressions are so adorable. And I looove how you draw Phi and her little curvy body.

Hmm... One day you'll draw other characters, huh? You know what I wanna see? Your take on Beau. I think he'd make a great cartoon with his odd features.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

^_^

I love drawing Phi's curves! Really, to me drawing girls is INFINITELY more fun than drawing boys. And my favorite girls to draw are pudgy ones, because they're all curvy.

Well, hopefully I'll draw more of the characters. I really want to finish up a Jill and Phi picture I have and I love Jill and Buck so I'd definitely love to draw them sometime. And eventually I should try doodling up Tank and Frances (but probably not a pairing thing because i don't ship it that much). I might do Beau, but I'm not sure. I'm hopelessly in love with the Stupendous Seven (Johnny, Phi, Ripp, Buck, Jill, Tank, Frances) and kind of just fond of the rest.

My favorite characters in order:

JOHNNY
Phi and Ripp
Erin, Buck
Tank, Jill, Frances
Jaxy, Edie, Nervous, Circe
etc.

Beau is just okay in my book. I'm all for more Frances romance and Beau seems interesting enough, but it's going to be a lot harder to win my heart at this later stage. Although Erin managed to totally win me over with one single chapter, but that's because I cannot resist Erin-like characters. Stupid, silly blondes being smart and useful is a storyline that I will love forever. Basically, any time someone selfish or self-absorbed is put into a situation where they have to grow is just....YUM.

This reminds me that I NEED to draw Erin. Omg I love her. I always imagine her as Glinda from Wicked, complete with Kristin Chenoweth's voice. I am completely and utterly in love with her.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I can win you over with Beau, given enough time. ;) Just wait until you see him interacting with more of the characters. I really like a lot of his lines that I've been working on. He's the type of guy that just calls people out on their shit in a really amusing way, I think. He's brazen, but he's able to get away with it somehow (even with Tank).

I'd love to see you draw Beau, for the same reason xel_squirgle_ox does. I think he's odd looking and interesting.

But mostly, I'd love to see a drawing of Frances, Edie or Jaxy. I loved that early version you did of Jax, and I'd love to see something with her and Ripp together. Like her pinning him arm behind his back until he begs for mercy, or something kickass like that. :P

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

Well, OF COURSE I would like to see a picture of FRANCES (did you see that simsecret I did? :P) and Edie.

And the idea you have of Ripp and Jaxy together sounds awesome. Hell, if I could draw bodies in poses besides just standing I would do that. :P

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Lol. I submitted a secret this week, but I'm not sure if they'll put it up. Also I did it just to be ridiculous and not because it's an actual secret.

Actually if they put it up it pretty much solidifies my opinion that Simsecret is the worst secret comm ever. Because it's not even worded as a secret. But it fits the measurements and has a sim in the picture, so obviously its a secret!

Bleh.

I might have to try my hand at the Ripp and Jaxy picture. I can't pass up the oppurtunity to have Jax be a badass.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

Hello... PENGUIN, anyone? XD

Simsecret IS the worst secret community ever, but that's what makes it something I always have to watch.

My Frances secret wasn't a secret either. And it wasn't even THAT true.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Lol, I honestly don't know what the reaction to mine will be. Hopefully some laughs and I imagine a lot of WTFs. It's just... it'll be fun that's for sure.

It is awful as far as secret comms go. Half of the things are either not secrets or aren't related to the sims game. Which like, what the hell is the point of the comm then? Really it should be something like RandomImagesWhichMayOrMayNotBeRelatedToTheSims2WhateverWeDon'tCare

Haha, I loved the Frances secret. Really, someone should start a Frances Comm. It would be wonderful.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

It should be called cultofrances. :P

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

LOL.

Most popular comm ever - y/y?

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

YESSSS!!!!

God, I'd love to start it but I don't want to look like a freak. It would be just a huge joke, really.

And everybody could post spam about what they've done with their Frances and talk about the Frances in other sims stories... And other things that may or may not be Frances related. XD

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

BTW I totally made it. I just HAD to snag the name before anybody else stole my idea!

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

I APPROVE OF THIS COMM.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

...So does that mean I have to put beyondheroism__ approves of this community in the userinfo now? :P

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Well it definitely couldn't hurt.

XD

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure you'll make me like him. You are so damn good at pushing people on me late in the game and still think they are awesome. You and your damn characterization skills *shakes fist*

And I am super excited to see him calling people out. People like that are both terrible and awesome, because they tend to say things that are true, but that the other person doesn't always know how to deal with.

If people are interested than I suppose I ought to at least try to drum up a Beau (random: I really love the name Beau).

Ooooo, that would be fun to try. Jaxy kicking ass is awesome and there needs to be more of it.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

I'm the other way around when it comes to drawing... I like drawing faces of females, but when it comes to the body? Forget about it. Therefore I usually stick to drawing guys.

Well, I love the Jill/Phi picture you have of Jill trying to fix Phi's hair, so I'm sure I'll love this one as well. ^_^

Hehe, Stupendous Seven. That's who I'm in love with too. Beau was just a suggestion- I've always liked the way he looked. And I want to like him in the story, but we haven't really heard much about him yet so I'm not so sure.

Erin's adorable. Not my favorite character, but she definitely is cute. I love her barbie-pink frilly dress and how she made over the house that way too.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Guys are tougher for me, because they're so angular. I'm always fighting to make sure my men look masculine enough, because I'm always tempted to make them kind of curvy.

Oh, that's the one I was planning on fixing up. Though, I also have a bunch of really ridiculous Phi as Poison Ivy and Jill as Harley Quinn sketches, because I'm nuts.

Haha, there's too many of them! It's hard to lump them under one name. Terrible Two, the Trio, Fiercesome Foursome, Fab Five, Sensational Six, Stupendous Seven. These are the things I think about in my spare time.

I adore Erin and I love that she made over the house.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I agree. Beau would make a great cartoon, especially the version I have of him in my head.

[showercapfrog.livejournal.com]

OMG I LOVE IT. Especially the way Johnny is sort of awkwardly looking away, even though he's holding their hands, and he's blushing because it is LOVE.

I also love how curvy you've made Ophelia - she looks really good like that (at the start of the game she's all skinny - I think I'm going to have to feed her up so she's a bit more chunky).

And ZOMG RAINBOW!

That is all.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Oh gosh, i love Johnny in this for all the reasons you said. He is totally awkward and doesn't really know what to think of his whole situation, but he's HAPPY and he LOVES them and EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! My heart! She bursts!

I love slightly rounded Phi. Though she's a bit exaggeratedly curvy here. But she'd definitely be softer than someone like Jill or Jaxy who are all arms and bones.

THE RAINBOW WAS THE MOST FUN TO DO.

(probably because it was super easy)

I'm glad you liked it! ^_^

[showercapfrog.livejournal.com]

I forgot to say before, but SCARF SHARING IS THE CUTEST THING EVA! AND IT SHOULD BE IN THE GAME, dammit!

Yeah, Jaxy would be skinny, but I imagine that Jill could be plump too. Then she and Buck would be SOOO CUTE together!

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Oh there are so many silly little things that should be in the game, but probably never will. But I can draw out all of my favorite little things so I feel like at least there's that. And that's why I'd probably never be able to do my own sim story. Why tell a story through Sims when I can draw it out exactly the way I want it in less time? I think sim stories are awesome, but I TOTALLY don't have the patience.

Hmmm, I really just find Jill as small and thin. Not quite as bony as Jaxy, but like... average? But that's just my own two cents.

Mmmm, I'm really sleepy.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

I love it. When the Sims 3 comes out I'm going to remake Johnny, Ripp, and Ophelia to look like this. :)

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

:3

I'm glad you liked it! And awww, you'll definitely have to show them off when the time comes, I'd love to see 'em. I know it isn't gonna be for awhile still, but I still can't wait!

<3

[simsbarbie.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, colorful, and.....their faces are sooo cute!! Look at Phi's rosey(sp) cheeks!!

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Heehee, I'm a sucker for drawing really cute things (along with really sad things). And these three are so cute in their own right, I love drawing them!

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

:D This is the highlight of my night. I really needed the big smile.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it could make you smile! I aim to please! :D
