Description Call me not so creative/original/whatever for almost totes copying this (fav.me/d98xbed ) wonderful drawing but from an other angle but... Oh whatever: Merry (Angbangy) Christmas to you folks and most of all to I hope you like it

... And sorry but this little conversation was going over my head all the time while drawing:
Sauron: "Honey, put that dead head down please, it doesn't match my eyeliner colour!"
Melkor: "Don't be hasty, Precious, I'll get to you in a minute!"
Sauron: -.-


Melk and Sau are Tolkien's
Their concept and designs and all are Gypsy-Rae's
And what's left of it is mine

Heh, even the Eye on Sauron's chest is not impressed

Probably the dead head doesn't match the eye's eyeliner colour either X)

Nagayon tetszenek a részlet kidolgozások, és a fekete-fehér részek kontrasztja a pirossal. Máskor is szívesen látnék még ilyen kidolgozást, csak így tovább! : DD

Ohh köszcsi, örvendek h tetszik! Mondjuk a dizájn nem az enyém, hanem az artist kommentben is említett csajszié... de a legközelebbi rajzomat is majd kidolgozgatom, csak azért, mert mondtad!

Ok I had to wait to comment on this since it is only proper I do so on christmas day.  So when I first saw this I thought the scene looked really really really familiar.... half a minute later it clicked. XD    
Naaah! I think you are totes original with this, I mean I never drew THIS angle or put that swirly BG or drew Sau looking that annoyed or Melk that amused. Therefore I dub thee original. Oh and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it! Like, OMG.  I squealed. I admit it.... and how did you know in that scene Sau was secretly annoyed by Tulkas' head not matching his eyeliner color?    Y'know, seeing you take my overall designs and use them has in turn inspired me to not change Melk's armor in DS where originally I was thinkin bout just coming up with something different. But since he looks so fashionable here I've decided he will have 50 suites of this armor with perhaps minor differences between them.    Now that I think of it you seem far better at drawing my designs, right down to swirly details and halos, than I.  I feel I should retire and turn over DS and all angbang art to you. XD  Srsly man. Srsly.

I do rather prefer this version with Melk tossing that head around in amusement while Sau looks annoyed (HIS GODDAMN EYELINER MELKOR!) over the depressing source material. I mean, look how pleased Melk looks!  That's what I wanna see.  Not pissy 'I'm gonna hurt my BF and just look angry all the time' Melk.  Needless to say I totally needed to see this.  

Aight. To recap I adore this. It's super. It's awesome. It's amaze-balls. It's adorbs.  Melk and Sau look fabulous.  And I am giggling endlessly to see you would draw my designs for a very angbangy christmas pic!  Someone loves me!  

And before I forget.... have a very merry (Angbangy) christmas Aven!

Really?? I thought Christmas was yesterday O.o At least in my family we exchanged the presents then... Hnn I smell a cultural disaster in the air O.o BTW my mind was totes blown that you got an Intuos! (It's so cool and I'm so jealous... I wanna upgrade too ) I'm wishing good luck at drawing the hell out of Angbang digitally from now on! Yer first shot is funny but cute! Merry (Angbangy) Christmas to you too Rae! (Btw I adore that ghosty emoticon )

Oh that's good, because I was so worried you would be mad I stole your scene... well from a different angle but still a bit Somehow I knew Sau's fashion disaster detector is too fine not to spot what matches his eyeliner and what doesn't XDD Well, that's cool because Melk's armor totes caught my eye. It's so pretteh. Bad thing I somehow didn't manage to catch Sau's armor... I must confess checked material is not my strongest point. WUT?!?! NAH, DS is yours and I must solemnly return it to you now. Welll, y'know I love your designs and I'm having fun copying all those fabulous clothes but it's much harder and I dunno, unnatural? for me to do so. Like those scale-like stuff on Melk's arm and all over Sau: it takes me ages to do and they all turn out wobbly at first so I've spent half of eternity doing them justice Besides I couldn't have come up with anything like it on my own, it was Your doing Rae! And then I somehow I think your original version is a bit more serious than mine... Though I don't think pissed Melk is so bad XD AND don't forget about dork Melk on Opposite day and on that stip with Freddy: it's hilarious. He's so cute there

Nope. Yesterday was merely Christmas Eve. CLEARLY you and your family misread the calender... Nah, I'm Joking!  That's actually really interesting that you all celebrated Christmas yesterday. Maybe the selected day to celebrate differs between country/family.  I know some families here celebrate on Christmas Eve instead of on Christmas day (gift giving, dinner, etc).   Yeah, mine too!  You see there is a story here. You see, many moons ago when I was but a stupid teenager I asked for a wacom tablet for x-mas and got one. Pretty much the equivalent of what I got this year but it was top of line by 2005 standards which I'm sure have been surpassed since then. Long story short after playing with it briefly I never touched it again for reasons of not understanding how it worked and by the time I realized I really wanted to use it (like 9 years after that) it was officially DEFUNCT and would not work.  Needless to say mom was far from happy about how I never used her expensive ass gift.  Justifiably so ofc. I mean if I could go back in time I would punch my younger self in the face for all that.   Obviously I lucked out that my mom was willing to give me another chance and get me the intuos again (even after I showed her the Huion tablet line as a cheaper alternative) and I am very happy. I intend to use it this time, even if it is mainly for coloring.  I shall hope that someday you too shall get an upgrade!

LOL. You couldn't make me mad by "stealing" my scenes and I think you mean borrowing. =3  I LOVE to see you borrow my scenes/designs/what-have-you and draw them in yer fab style.  So borrow/take inspiration from whatever I do whenever. I will never mind since I'm totes laid back like that.  Nah, it's fine. Sau's armor/robes/whatever he is wearing is hard to figure out and I like what you did with it anyhow. Even I have trouble figuring out my design at times but since Melk kinda ripped it up in the last DS scene I'm swapping it out for some new pretty dress. I mean robe.   Oh, dude. Check pattern is the easiest pattern to do for me and obvi my favorite! I am surprised to hear it is not on your list of things you are awesome at. Color me surprised...

Aww, ok. I guess I'll carry on with DS myself then. XD  I wonder if perhaps it's a bit easier to do the design elements that make up Sau and Melk's clothes traditionally instead of digitally?  I know I can turn out the scales on Melk's armor faster in pencil/ink than when I was practicing on my tablet. Who knows? Either way I still think you did a super great job of mimicking the designs even if you found it very unnatural to do.  And truly those designs take forever traditionally too so welcome to my world. =3  I am very impressed. *applauds*  I mean just look at that swirly pretty tree, cute little dragons, and swirly BG!

Pissed Melk seems like it would be canon... though I would prefer it if he wasn't pissed at Sau. XD  LOL. Oh yeah. Ok. I guess I DO have some dorky not so pissy Melk under my belt.  I really do enjoy drawing him as a dork just as much as I do as angry at the world. I really need to draw s'more of him like that sometime.  I have been thinking about another comic strip the past couple days that would involve Melk and his greatest rival... and no. His greatest rival is not Tulkas or any of the Ainur.  It's something else that no one would understand unless they saw the 'Succubus' episode from South Park...

Well, good thing that New year's eve doesn't vary that much XDD Btw Happy New Year, Rae! I wish you much angbangyness

Oh wow. Well then that tablet was even a bigger surprise And even if it's only colouring now, I guess it's a bit easier that with a mouse isn't it? Btw may I ask what program you use? Ah, well, I always say I want a better/bigger tablet because it would be cooler and I'd be interested what a better sensory stuff is like but all the time I have to say to myself that my old tablet is perfectly fine for my needs

Ohh, OK For next christmas I'll try an other one of your scenes if I can't come up with something more original XDD And well, yeah, checked patterns aren't really my thing. Mostly because at first I can't make the lines cross so that they make out proper squares... and they are hard to color with round brushes -.-

Aww thanks, I'm still pretty glad you approve! And actually the swirly BG wasn't that difficult, I even enjoyed doing it And I'm glad you notived the tiny dragons (I guess I can't hide that much details as you can XD) but did you spot the two dragons match the two dork lords. And it's good you agree you should carry on DS - especially now you revealed to me the possibly angbangy ending

I'm thinking of Manwe but sorrowfully I haven't seen that episode... I guess I should now

Happy New angbangy year to you as well, Aven!!    I wish you just as much angbangyness!

Well if  you WANT a new tablet you are more than welcome to try and convince family members to help you invest in a new one but I still think what you use now turns out some pretty fabulous stuff.  Oh, I use Photoshop for all my editing/coloring needs.  I ended up sucking it up and doing the pay by the month BS since I could never get gimpshop to work for me. Not to mention I KNOW how to use PS. I know where everything is blah blah blah.

LOL. Well i'm sure you'll have plenty of scenes to pick from if you need inspiration next time. I'm positive I will STILL be working on DS when next Christmas rolls around so yer good. XD   Ahhh, I see!  Well, clearly you do not pay attention to my checks because aint NONE of them 'proper' squares. They're all oblong, rectangular, crooked, etc because I don't see a need to be perfect with them. =3  Don't fear the check, Aven! Make it bend to your will!

Ofc I noticed the dragons AND I even saw how they were color coded to certain dork lords.  Only the most fashionable of dork lords ensure their clothes match their tiny dragons  It made me smile, without a doubt!  Begrudgingly I shall carry on with DS though me thinks that angbangy ending will be a long hard road to come to. Dun Dun Duuuuuun!

LOL. This would be the relevant clip if you are curious.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=83bkpk… ;  It's the one where the boys meet Chef's dad and he tells them about the lochness monster... which is actuality a mooch (who cleverly disguises itself) and constantly pesters him for "Tree-Fiddy".  The Lochness monster should be the bane of Melk's existence and his wallet.  I Just like to imagine Melkor talking with Sau.... only to discover Sau is about 8 stories tall and actually a monster from the paleolithic era. XD  Cue Melk screaming 'DAMN YOU LOCH NESS MONSTAH!!!"  The mental image is just stupid enough its funny to me.

Oh,ok I was just curious X) And I totes understand if Photoshop is the thing that's working for you. Some friends of mine wanted me to try SAI and MangaStudio but, uh, no. PS is good enough for me And aw, thanks Well, I'm just always curious my stuff was easier to produce with a more sensitive tablet... But I guess I won't beg for a new one until this one gets on fire or something XD

Lol, I'm happy to hear about DS will go on for so long. The more tormented Melk booty, Mai with heroism-issues and inspiration for me the better XD Alright, I'll make those checks do that!!

LOLolol that mental image IS hella funny And Melk would also request Lochness-Sau to get off his lawn/cave XDDD

Gypsy-Rae In reply to Aventisz [2016-01-15 21:45:57 +0000 UTC]

So long as you know how to use it PS is super easy to work with.  I shudder to think about relearning a whole new program to use to color/draw with. D8>  So I think I'll stick with what I know. XD  Hmm... careful.  All those arts of a fiery Sau getting pissy with Melk you do might end up catching your tablet on fire.... THEN you will need a new one.

LOL. Well I am oh so pleased to know DS, tortured Melk, and Mai's misplaced heroism can inspire you.

Oh dear heavens, now I can't get THAT mental image outta my mind.  

GET OFFA MY LAWN LOCHNESS MONSTAH!! YOU GET NO TREE-FIDDY FROM ME!!
...so I guess I shouldn't have given him that dollar, Master?
DAMMIT MAIRON! NO WONDER HE KEEPS COMING BACK!

Lol, I hope angry Sau won't make my tablet catch fire BUT y'know what happened?! The other day my tablet literally demonstrated Melk getting thrown out of his fortress O.o

Lololol! But what would Melk say if he knew Sau was tipping the Lochness monstah from Melk's wallet?

Gypsy-Rae In reply to Aventisz [2016-01-19 20:51:20 +0000 UTC]

0_o oh my!  Tell your tablet to NOT demonstrate Melk getting thrown out of his fortress!  Melk will survive but I'm not so sure your tablet is as hearty and able to weather wear and tear like he is. XD XD

Well...

 THE HELL YOU MEAN YOU'VE BEEN GIVING HIM MY MONEY!!??  NO WONDER I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP UP THE REPAIRS ON ANGBAND!!

 ....

OH NO. DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT.

...

....you're forgiven.  ....Now go get in my bed and find a way to lose your clothes.

Although wonderfully my tablet still works like before which is strange because its USB port or what it's called is a bit funny already O.o I bet it is some kind of unbreakable russian-made stuff in secret

Lololol XD
And after some time spent in thte bed:
Sau: And honey, I want a new Gucci armor and a furcoat too...
Melk: ASDASD WTF Sauron we're in the middle of a freakin' volcano, why the hell would you want a furcoat?!?!
Sau: °.°
Melk: You've already tipped my money to that goddamn lochness monstah... And our fortress has needs too...
Sau: O.O
Melk: Fine, I'll look into the vaults... Until then, be ready for an other round...

Damn Russians.  They always make the good shit.

Sau: Me thinks I got that hansom oaf wrapped around my little finger and I don't even have to try.... 

Melk: ....I can hear you, you know that right?

Sau: ...No you can't.  That was a soliloquy. You can't hear those.

Melk: ... Yeah, still pretty sure I can.  Consider your Gucci armor and furcoat no more and your labor hours in my bed to be tripled until you pay off what you gave to that goddamn lochness monstah.

Sau: Aww... oh wait.  YES!! Uh, I mean, nooooooo. The horror! D8

Melk: ....You've now lost clothing rights and your labor has officially been quadrupled.

Sau: Nooooooo...

Aventisz In reply to Gypsy-Rae [2016-01-26 09:17:03 +0000 UTC]

Lololol But is Melk aware that by quadrupling Sau's working time in his bed, he also quadruples his own?? Because I don't think Melk would only want Sau to strip/dance naked/whatever else one can do alone naked in a bed while Melk would snore beside him or count Angbang's taxes while scarcely taking glimpses of Sau

Melk must not have thought that far ahead.  Typical.  But I'm sure he'll make due SOMEHOW... but I'm sure waging battles and war on *insert whatever army/persons here* will take a heavy blow and the world will have a nice span of peace and harmony since Melk is tied up (or passed out snoring from overworking himself)  Truly, Melk increasing Sau's and therein his own workload is the best thing that could ever happen to Arda!
