Description First thing: I love guitars, and I love old-fashioned boxy mikes. But I hate drawing them.

While I had worked on that pic of Ora (and subsequently reread Clover vol.3 multiple times), The story kept shifting around in my head so that it accomodated the TS gang; With Woody, Jess, and Bo in Ora, Sue, and Kazuhiko's roles, respectively. I'm an odd bird.
Instead of the dystopian future-setting and the premise of psychics, it ended up feeling like a mix of particularly mournful Bluegrass and a (somewhat) erotic horror short story. Like in the absence of Ora and Sue's psychic powers, maybe Jessie found Woody's number written on an apparently random piece of paper; And maybe Woody dreamt (Doesn't sound as concrete as Ora's "prediction") about his death long before, but he somehow still knew it was true. The conections are less tangible.. but while you're reading the story it all makes sense, in that strange subconscious way.
..Am I the only one who understands all that? *sweatdrop*

I've kinda wanted to draw Woody singing for a while now. Once I got to reading Clover again, I just said "Screw it" and went ahead with it.

I don't think it's too far-fetched. Remember at the end of the second movie, when Woody was kind of wondering if he did the right thing in staying with the roundup gang to go to Tokyo; and he sees his puppet-self on the show singing "You've got a friend in me"?
And there's also that "I'd like to join your posse, boys.." catchphrase of his.
I think it's kind of obvious he's got a bit of that "Singing Cowboy" archetype in him.

I kept thinking of Conway Twitty's "I see the want to in your eyes" when I saw his face finished. I'm a silly goose.

I imagine Woody singing Alan Jackson's "itty bitty" (because they are itty bitty sized).

Awww this is neat! This is better than my drawing of Woody singing a song.

Hmmmm....I just thought of something.

This is adorable I love his expression, very melodic. I'm sure he can't be such a bad singer, as you've pointed out he is a stereotyped cowboy ^^
I love the pose, you did such a wonderful job <3

(I'm going gaga for the "La"-mote since I figured out how to do it)

This is really lovely. It looks very natural -- like you were working from a photo, which is obviously impossible. Love the particular soulful tilt of his eyebrows, and you always do a wonderful job with hands. Also, I feel your pain about drawing instruments, but you did a great job, too!

There's a great book of illustrated short stories about Toy Story, and my favorite is one in which Woody goes about trying to impress Bo Peep by taking everyone's suggestions. Buzz tries to teach him to fly (disaster), Sarge tries to toughen him up (just wears him out), Jessie tells him to sweep Bo off her feet (just ends up freakin' her out), and Wheezy recommends he sing her a romantic song. When Woody tries to sing, Wheezy gets this dubious look on his face and suggests they Cyrano de Bergerac it -- Woody sings to Bo, but it's Wheezy's voice from behind a curtain. Naturally, he's found out, and Bo is less than impressed. In the end, of course, she tells him she likes him just the way he is, and they go for a romantic little stroll. <3

My point, I guess, is that there is evidence to suggest our hero is not as vocally smooth as Lyle Lovett just yet. ;D

Oh my, that sound so adorable Do you mind telling me what it's called? In Portugal we only have coloring books of Toy Story, nothing else :/ it's pretty sad.

It's called the Toy Story Storybook Collection -- it's a big purple hardcover book with gilded pages. Not expensive at all, at least not here.

Aw, that's kind of you-- but I would'nt want you wastin' your own cash on me. Shoving tons of art requests on you is bad enough!

By the way, is your rib doing any better?

My rib is coming along, but it's taking its time. My husband just flew to the mainland for a month, so, at the very least, I have only Woody to hug me, and he is very gentle.

Also: I have to tell this to my family all the time, but I only make money so I can blow it on the people I love. And yarn. I got no bills to pay! But if that's your way of graciously bowing out, I graciously concede. ^_^

Hey, while we're talkin' -- there's a LJ community just for people to post prompts for stories they'd like to read, specifically for Disney kink. It's anything Disney, but Toy Story has the monopoly on the prompts. It's nicely assembled, with a list of unfilled prompts and a list of filled, art or fic. Some of them are awfully, awfully good, and some of the prompts are very tempting. I was thinking of drawing for a couple, and I wondered if you'd be interested in taking a peek? Just for fun, maybe you'd find something you like, something you'd want to fill for, or maybe just suggest a prompt. You can be totally anonymous, too, which is nice.
