YESSS IT IS FINISHED.

I have no clue how many hours I've spent on it. A silly amount, I think. Could have done it faster.

Well, without delay, here is Lalli & Cats!

Oh my gosh Lenny! Is it weird that I'm really really really liking all the detail on the luggage? Because WOW! And the elbow-rest kitty is so adorable

[Lenny]

This is awesome.

Thanks!~

No, it is not, and I'm actually really really glad that someone's picked up on that detail! I spent quite a bit of time on it, haha. I think elbow-rest kitty is my favourite

[Sparky Dragon]

Ha ha, it's FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT and all the other positive adjectives!

Among other nice details, I like that you picked up on Lalli's cold-reddened nose.  You and Minna both account for the real-world aspects of Nordic exploration!

[Richard Weir]

That is a BRILLIANT picture! Thanks for drawing it!

[Echo]

MMmmmm... The legs and arms...

[JaoLao]

Great effin job, Lenny! Specially digging the way you rendered the shadows under the luggage. Kinda wishing they'd expand a little more, so there was more of that yummyness c:

also thanks guys!

[Eich]

Dang.  Really good job on that...  He looks relaxed!
I tried learning colors and values, once...  *totally not jealous or anything*

And, JaoLao...  we might need some more of those short animations...

So much talent in this thread!

Thanks!~ I try to. It's what I love most about Miyazaki's work, too - all the little details that make it real, even in fantastical worlds and situations.

That is a BRILLIANT picture! Thanks for drawing it!

You're welcome! I hope to do a few more like this, but no promises, haha.

MMmmmm... The legs and arms...

Dem legs and arms are the things that attracted me most to Lalli, haha Even before I started reading SSSS properly. I was looking through the miscellanious section of SSSS, and there in the newest piece was this person with really cool armour... they're just so cool, those boots and gloves<3

Great effin job, Lenny! Specially digging the way you rendered the shadows under the luggage. Kinda wishing they'd expand a little more, so there was more of that yummyness c:

also thanks guys!

Thanks! Yeah, in the original sketch I had a whole heap of shadow under there. I edited it out when I was cleaning up the pic, but looking at it now... I like my profile pic better, haha! So I'll probably end up editing the original again to put more colour and texture both as sort-of-shadows, and around the edges of the piece.

Also, no problem~

Thanks! Ooof, will it be totally awful of me to say that I never tried learning them, not once? *rubs head awkwardly* I do like experimentation, though.

I second the talent statement! It's really fun to see the fanart shared here, it's all so different and all so fun in its own way

[Nimphy]

I'm kinda late, but that's a fantastic drawing, Lenny!

Hehe, now I'm kinda reclutant to post in this thread, given all the talented people that lurk around here...

Poooost.  Do iiiiiit!
There's no judging here.

Mention of Lalli's "pin-up pose" on the hood of the Cattank led me to imagine a pin-up photo shoot featuring our cast (strictly for the high-minded purpose of raising funds and support for the Expedition, of course). 

Well, that inspired the marvelous OrigamiOwl to *illustrate* the photo shoot.  Now, she was a little shy, and I had to persuade her to share her drawing with the full community.  So let's all give her a warm welcome, and maybe she'll draw some more for us!



I have provided an edited transcript of the studio conversation during the shoot.
Frames 1 and 2:
TUURI: He says lean over.  Stretch your arms out like you're washing the car.  *click, click*
3. TUURI: Now he says climb up on the hood.
4. LALLI: Like this?  What for?
5. PHOTOGRAPHER: Pam, darling, get the fish.
6. ASSISTANT: Psst!  Kitty-kitty-kitty!
7, 8. PHOTOGRAPHER (under his breath): Farther... *click, click* farther...
9.  Oops!
10. PHOTOGRAPHER:  Perfect, lovie!  I think we've got our cover shot in the bag.

Mind if I borrow this idea blurb? I think I can do something moderately good with this...

Haha, feel free!  We could use some more giggles around here.  Just remember, if it turns out NSFW, neither OrigamiOwl nor I had anything to do with it...
