Fanart - SHWC - Post 20

ART

Fandom/Universe: Strangetown, Here We Come/[livejournal.com profile] strange_tomato
Character(s): Ophelia, Jill




jillophelia



a/n: Um, so it looks sort of wacky, on account of me fiddling around with different photoshoppy things. I was having fun with coloring.

Anyway, Jilly and Phi in slumber party mode, because more Phi/Jill interaction is on my list of things I would love to see happen in S,HWC. There's... a lot of things on that list. Lots of Circe confrontations and flowers being super important and trio cuddles and awesome team ups. Also, I've got lots of guesses as to the actual behind-the-scenes plot, but am not saying any of them in case they're wrong/right/ridiculous.

It's adorable. The different shading is quite interesting.

I'd like to see more interactions between Jill and Ophelia too, and a whole bunch of other characters too. There are just so many little things I'd like to do, I'm not sure where to fit them all in.

I think you've already said a couple of things about the plot that were on the right track, so maybe you're right to keep some of your ideas to yourself. ;) You seem to be very good at figuring out many of my (ultra-obvious?) plans.

I kind of like the weird skin-shading on Phi, but it looks really odd on Jill. Ah well, I was just fooling around.

DO IT. Although, it's okay if you don't. Actually, I also want to see Frances talk to Phi. She's 'the girl' it seems. Johnny and Ripp and Tank all crushing/in love with her at some time or another.

Woohoo! I'm awesome! But I'm pretty sure my overall theories are probably really wrong. I obsess over certain little things and I'm not sure if you're going that same route. Like, I'm DETERMINED on the idea that Phi's flowers are going to be important and possibly lead her to cross paths with Vidcund. But, I don't really have much to back it all up.

A few things though that I have gut feelings about:

- One of Johnny's family members is probably going to die. My guess is Jenny.
- Johnny's going to be forced to leave
- Don has done something really terrible
- THE MILITARY IS WORKING ON A DEATHRAY THAT WILL WIPE OUT ALL THE ALIENS (i'm only sort of kidding)
- Johnny and Ripp will kiss somewhere in the story, but it probably won't be requited (this might be wishful thinking)

So um, yeah.

Heheh. That's an interesting thought. Frances could be all like, "What's she got that I don't have?" :P I think they sort of met at that party. Or, rather, she spoke to Tank, and Frances listened in.

There is something special about the snapdragons, and we'll see a little more about that soon. It might not be exactly like what you're thinking of, but they do have soothing/healing properties, just like in the game. (It was either that or make them a type of drug... since they take away your need and desire to eat and do anything else. That angle would work too.)

Some of those things are correct, more or less. Others have the right genereal idea, if not the specific details. A lot of those things are connected to the same part of the plot.

But I've said too much... :P

And... *sigh* Johnny and Ripp. More than anything, that part of the story challenges me. You know I've had different ideas about the exact nature of their relationship, and even more about where it would or could go. I should just grow a pair and make a call, but they have a scene that I must have rewritten about 346764 times, with differences that are very, very subtle.

Yeah, I'd love to see Frances sort of just wonder about Ophelia. She seems to have some sort of magnetism, maybe like Olive did, but without the murderous intent.

It's probably not what I'm thinking of at all, because in my mind they'd have to be a HUGE plot point and it doesn't seem likely. But I'm glad you went with the healing/soothing root instead of a drug thing. It suits Phi better.

Holy shit. I bet the death ray is for reals!

Heehee, I love that it's a conflicting thing for you. I still don't know if you should take it down a romantic sort of line myself (even though it'd be AWESOME). I still think at some point down the line Ripp will make some kind of move even if he doesn't mean it in a romantic way and more in a desperate Ripp way.

Either way, I'll be eating all that shit up. :D

I think it's adorable you had Jill and Ophelia bond. Ophelia barely has female friends and it's so adorable she's spending time with her boyfriend's sister weeeeeeeeeeeee.

I really love this picture so much.

There needs to be more female interaction in S,HWC. Although I understand that a lot of the problem is that Strangetown is a total sausagefest. Also all the girls in the story seem to be somewhat separated or only on very basic terms with one another.

So Jill and Ophelia hanging out just sounds like fun to me. They need to bond over that stick up Johnny's ass and argue over which Grunt is hottest.

I love the grimace on Jill's face! She's really getting into the hair. It must DIE!

Although...it is a little slumber party/pillowfight weird. Not that that's a bad thing ;)

[identity profile] leskuh.livejournal.com 2008-11-06 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
SHE WILL BRUSH THE SHIT OUT OF THAT HAIR EVEN IF ITS THE LAST THING SHE EVER FUCKING DOES.

Haha, yeah. It's a little to normal for them, eh? But neither of them really seemed to have any girl friends growing up. They must make up for all the slumber parties that never were.

So cute! Jill is such a typical little sister - determined and feisty.

And your comments made me laugh too, particularly this one:
They need to bond over that stick up Johnny's ass and argue over which Grunt is hottest.
Need to see that! *lol*

Hee, I love Jill.

I hope we get to see that too! Except it'll be Phi trying to kind of not tear down any of the Grunts or Johnny and Jill being like: "OMG JUST SAY THAT YOU THINK RIPP IS A FUCKING FINE PIECE OF ASS, GOD!"

This is wonderfully awesome. I totally agree with you on the female interaction in S, HWC (*nudges ST*) and I would love to see these two just talk. The picture looks really, really great. :D

By the way, mind if I ad you? I'd like to keep tabs on your art, considering how amazing you are. (I won't mind if you say no. :D)

[identity profile] leskuh.livejournal.com 2008-11-07 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too! I love seeing girls interact and be awesome and all that sort of stuff. Plus they're basically sisters at this point through both Ripp/Buck and Johnny. XD

No problem! I shall add you right back! :D

Dammit, Phi, you can't just let her jump at your hair like that! Help her before she rips it out! Think of your spawn!

Lol, I'm sure it'll all be all right. I imagine Jill will eventually give up or get distracted, in the meantime Phi will just have to suffer through some 'female bonding'. XD
