Description

I feel sorry for my characters. I really am evil and vile to them. I have all these little 'ships in my head.

And yes, I really just don't want any of them to actually get together, because then that ruins the fun.

So I just dangle these relationships on a thread, giving my characters a glimpse of "what would life be like if I was so and so's boyfriend/girlfriend"...

And then RIP OUT THEIR HEARTS AND STOMP ON THEM AND DRINK THE SWEET NECTAR FROM THEIR TEARS. :icongoofygrinplz:

Oh whatever, everyone. You know you all do it too to your characters.

Anyway, one of the 'ships I've been having fun with lately is NikoXTaylor, which I haven't quite come up with a cute name yet (like Mac-A-Mel....)

Melanie: "Mac-a-Mel" is NOT CUTE.

AWWW. *pinches her cheeks* Anyway. I dunno. I'll come up with one eventually. But for now it's "German Guy With Awesome Hair Seeks Scottish Girl With Awesome Hair". Because we all know that if they ever had spawns, their hair would be FANTASTIC.

Too bad, tho, I'm a bitch, and they will probably never see awesome hair spawns. *collects Niko's tears in a cup and bathes in it* YESSSSSSSS!!! :iconvictoryplz:

Anyway. So I like drawing them together. But most of their pictures end up being "OMG WE'RE BEST FRIENDS!" like. Which is fine, because they are. Except, Niko wishes they were more Mac-a-Mel like. You know, dry humping each other and longing to rip off each others clothes.

Melanie: :iconhardcoreplz:

So I saw this picture of this couple together, and they were blowing bubble gum. I was like, AW CUTE! Giving Melanie a break so that way she doesn't get tired of Mac and will long for him more -

Melanie: You will DIE.

- I decided to draw Niko and Taylor, because I've been wanting to ship them a lot lately. They're so cute. I just feel like poofing up their hair and dance in it. (WTF?) So here they are, chewing gum and making bubbles.

AW HOW CUTE. PINK BUBBLES OF LOVE. Or something.

Course Taylor just thinks it's a happy day of chewing bubble gum with her best friend.

S'alright Niko. You're the most eligible bachelor in Germany. You'll find someone. Any takers?

I had a lot of fun with this one, and love how it came out. Altho, I'm REALLY ANNOYED that Taylor was drawn a little too high up compared to Niko. I like to pretend she's standing on a platform or something. Or has 6 foot high heels on. Or something. Before I coloured it I thought it looked alright, but when I finished it I kinda noticed it. Mostly noticed it after I scanned it. So it could be a scanner induced manipulation again. No....No, it's not "could be". It most definately is.

(Or, it's just a Jess induced fail.)

No, actually, it's not, Brain. Anyway. I had all kinds of fun doing this. It's been a while since I've drawn a character winking. Once upon a time, winking characters were my default facial expression when I couldn't think of anything else to draw. But now, my default expression is confusion. Durr. I think they both look so cute. Niko's hair just keeps getting more and more gorgeous. Seriously. What products does he use? He's got the Till-Lindemann-Swept-Back-Hair-That's-Always-Wet thing goin' on.

I draw this during futbol season (which tells you just how incredibly lazy I am at posting things.), so I was totally into drawing soccer jerseys on all my characters. I love futbol jerseys! *totally wants an England one. And a German one. And an Italy one. And a France one. And a Dutch one....the list goes on. XD* And since Niko supports The Bundesliga I thought I'd draw him in a Deutschland one! OH YAY!

It wasn't easy, either. Seriously. Drawing the crest was kinda hard, so I just sorta...did what I could. Theres supposed to be three stars at the top, and then the eagle in the center. As you can see, it really, totally looks like three stars and an eagle.

(It actually doesn't, Jess. It looks like an airplane being surrounded by UFOS.)

DUH SARCASM BRAIN, GAWD.

Anyway, either way, I think I did a good job on the jersey anyway. The line things are supposed to be gold, so I didn't want to use yellow, so I used poo-yellow (yes, I'm awesome at colour naming) for the stripes there. Drawing jerseys is fun, but it's pretty tough. And that includes every sport. Dammit, why can't you just have a circle or something? *flails* Anyway.

(What about a square, Jess? You're pretty good at drawing squares.)

Squares are fine, too.

(And triangles, too?)

Yes, triangles.

(But definately not rectangles.)

No, rectangles are okay.

(How about -)

Okay, you can stop being sarcastic and mocking, Brain.

Anyway. As for Taylor, she's just... in tights and a green shirt. And that's about it. She probably should of worn a Scottish shirt, then she would have been really cute with Niko, but she, as always, didn't realize this was supposed to be a shipper picture and just went casual. *sips more of Niko's tears* Her boobs are kinda saggy tho. Probably because of her strapless bra. I hate strapless bras. So freakin' useless. Her hair didn't end up as poofy as I had wanted, but it's still perfect. I hate her, but love her at the same time. It's one of those things artists have with their characters.

For the background, I went all out, as you can see, and made it a solid colour that I made lighter as I entered the center of the picture. I just did that with watercolour pencils, and I really didn't want to have too much in there. I thought making it pinky red would be good since it matched their gum.

I really do like this one, but as you can clearly see my scanner did not, as it wreaked havoc and blew up everything. The colours on the scan version are just awful. I seriously don't even have to tell you guys that anymore. I think you just expect it.

But you didn't expect the Spanish Inquision. /random.

And just in case you were wondering, that brown blob on Taylors left side there is supposed to be Niko's hand. My characters hands have a habit of looking like blobs and Thing when they are supposed to be wrapped around another character. I've also come to expect that, along with my crappy scans. There's always a fail with Jess!

Sometimes a little too much fail, but thats why you all wear your fail shields when you browse my gallery, which you, too, can own for $9.95 plus shipping and handling. It's like a shammy, it's like a towel, its The Fail Shield!

(Which you all wear when watching anything that is being advertised by the Sham-Wow guy. Just in case you may feel the urge to actually BUY a towel for $20 when you can pick up a pack of Bounty for a little under 6 bucks. Or whatever. Or you know, just go into your linen closet and find a towel to use. It's a bloody brilliant idea.)

(You also wear it incase you feel the need to buy a Snuggie as well. It's called a housecoat, people. Anyway.)

So yes, just Niko and Taylor blowing bubble gum together! SHO CUTE!

*pinches Niko's cheeks* SHO HOPELESS! *Niko falls into the deep bowels of hell known as The Friend Zone OH NOES SAVE HIM! OR AT LEAST HIS HAIR!!*

Anyway, Niko and Tay-Tay here are © to Jess Ratte :D

Aww, this is really cute - a VERY best friendly "we're just mucking about hanging out and it's great" vibe from this one!
