Description
Phew. Finally finished. It's almost 5 AM. Why does all the best art get done starting at 1 AM? Really can someone tell me?Anyway this piece was inspired by the song: Italobrothers - Stamp on the Ground: [link]
I just thought the song had a lot of energy and the music video just kind of fascinated me. I could imagine a whole horde of characters belonging to me and my friends who I could visualize hopping around in the water logged hotel room.
I decided to do Rory, this is kind of his style and scene and I hadn't drawn him in forever so I was full of missing of him.
This was done mostly in paint tool sai, which I'm not crazy familiar with yet, but regardless I think I'm getting better each time I open up that software. :3 I'd like to challenge my pals to draw some of their characters "stamping on the ground" like in the music video and like what Rory is doing. It could be real fun, come on guys, it doesn't have to be hard core, just a doodle of them doing it would be cool enough for me.

Thanks. HEY How do you feel about 1920's gangster stories? You know, with mafia bosses and stuff? Me and my pal Hannah are making a 1920's chicago mafia RP, and I promised to invite you to our RPs :3 It's going to be really fun!

Ah, I used to have a friend who was obsessed with the 1920s, Jack the Ripper, flappers, etc. So I guess I know some of the time frame... I don't know too much about the gangsters of that time, though...

Rory-baby! I missed heem! <3 I'm totally gonna try this with Tinny! I missed those two! :c
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, and he's my baby so I missed him SUPER! I have been hard core Tinny Rory lately, especially when listening to my MP3 player, half the songs I'm like: "Wouldn't that be fun to do with Rory and Tinny?" To tell the truth, though, this piece took HOWAHS, and I'm not totally satisfied with how I did the water, but it was 3 in the morning when I started the water sooo, I really just needed something that worked, the hair had been giving me fits, I'd made about six different hair layers before I found the one I liked and stuck with it. >3>
But yes. Rory and Tinny are such a cute couple, Tinny is so sweet and absentminded, and Rory is this tiny seme who is just frustrated so EASILY! I wish I didn't have so much christmas stuff still due cause I would be making a shit house full of TinnyXRory doodles if not for it. >bummed<
But I is excited to hear this, Tinny hasn't been drawn in soooo long, it'll be awesome seeing him in your new style! <3

Also, lol, I wanted to do a Tinny picture for this song: [link]

WOW! I like that song and it does seem really Tinny. In my mind I can see him running around in some tight ass clothes singing that. That is an awesome Tinny song! I think I'll add it to my youtube favs. OH If only we had an animation team at our beck and call to animate Tinny to that song!

That would be so awesome. D: Srsly. So fitting. There's more to it, actually, and it fits TinTin, too: [link]
You haven't seen Rent yet, have you? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh. So is Tin singing that part too? Or is there like a chorus of people with him too? :3
I can't watch rent. I can't trust myself to conduct myself in a way that wouldn't be disruptive to other play goers/rude to the actors, because I'm more than sure I would not be able to make it through Rent without sobbing in my seat. The entire play is kind of ruined for me, especially knowing that so many characters die/almost die. I know it sounds so stupid, cause death and suicide is so common on the stage, but it's just Rent in particular and especially. The first time I'd heard any music from Rent it was Seasons of Love in my 10th grade Chorus. But in april (which one of the characters is named April which doesn't help either) of that year my uncle commit suicide and he was kind of a "live for today" kind of person, drank a lot, and at the time of his death he'd amassed a $500 a day crack habit. I was really close to my uncle, despite his imperfections. He'd always been around since I was a baby, so it wasn't like losing an uncle, it was like losing a brother who just happened to be 15 yrs older than me. And no matter how old I get it never stops hurting, just gets easier to live with the hurt, but when I was sixteen and the hurt was fresh it was unbearable, and that was when my chorus wanted to sing Seasons of Love! Even though I think it's a beautiful song, I can't listen to it because it brings back all the hurt, and so anything to do with Rent tends to dredge up those feelings again.
I've rewritten this comment like, six times now, and now I've gotten myself worked up and crying over it. Not blubbering or anything, just leaking. But I'm sorry. I really wish that I could ENJOY Rent so I could go see it and be happy and excited about it like you guys are. I really do wish I could cause it seems like so much fun when I see you guys talk about it or see how excited you guys get to go see it, but I just don't want to feel those things anymore Z. My Uncle's death ruined a lot of things for me, the woods, the sound of a train in the distance, even my relationship with God, Rent's just one of the things it effected when it shouldn't have and only because I let it.

Oh no, Lily, I'm sorry. D: I didn't mean to bring all that stuff up again, honestly! It's perfectly understandable that you'd associate feelings like that with the music, it's nothing to apologize for! Your uncle meant an awful lot to you, it's easy to see why the little things in life remind you of him and his death. But I think it'll all get better one day; not to say it'll never stop hurting, but memories are powerful, wonderful things. I still remember my uncle Mike, and how the only time I ever saw my dad cry was when he sat us down to tell us. He was only 40, and my Dad's big brother, and my dad keeps his picture in his office, and when he talks to us about Mike he always gets a bit emotional.
I can't relate to what it's like to be so close to someone and then lose them. I've never lost a close relative or a friend. But I've seen how much it hurts, and I can at least say I know how hard it is.

I'm sorry I made you drag up feelings about your uncle Mike. I know how your dad feels. The last thing my uncle got for us was easter cards, I keep mine in the original purple envelope and I keep it between two books on my shelf to keep it safe. You feel the need to hold onto even the most tiny things that they gave you/wanted you to have. I'm sorry I turned into a blubber baby, it was actually that second song, it kindda moved me and reminded me of my uncle again. I hate talking about it with other people because then they become sad and that's the last thing I want. But, also, it is a lot easier to handle because even if my uncle was raised catholic, and they say suicide is a no no, I know my Uncle didn't go to hell or anything bad like that. He's come back to see my mom a lot since he died. He comes to see her in her dreams, and he's happy now. Mom says he looks healthy and looks a lot happier than he had in years. And when he was alive he could never find a good job, but now he has a job he loves. He paints the black spots on the lady bugs! He really enjoys doing it, and we know when we see one of those goofy lady bugs, that'er black with red spots, that Uncle Jim is messing around.

Aww, it's not really sadness for me persay... I miss my uncle, but I didn't get to know him very well before he passed. I'm sure he's in a much better place now, where he doesn't have to work constantly just to make ends meet. His ashes were spread in the lake behind our house, with his father's, and I'm sure they're both very happy, wherever they are. :3
And it sounds as if your uncle's having a grand ole time in the afterlife! And he can still chat with your mom, which is really nice. <3

Yeah. But lets move out of this conversation shall we and back to Tinny and Rory and their sitcomish relationship? :3

I love his fluffy brain. Tinny and Rory are very balanced. Tinny thinks more with his heart than his head, and Rory thinks too much with his head and always doubts his feelings. Tinny has a big enough heart for the both of them, though I was listening to "House at Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins (do not laugh at me dammit, it is a sweet song! << ) and I was thinking about Tinny being a nurse and stuff, and I imagined him asking if Rory and his brother maybe wanted to sing something for a sick little boy and Rory agrees, but the little boy has Leukemia and will probably die and Rory being very touched by it and later that night telling Tinny that he admires Tinny's emotional strength, because before visiting the hospital and seeing what Tinny does for a living he thought: "Oh, that's a cool job, making people feel better." but he'd never realized until now that not every patient can be saved and he thinks it's amazing that Tinny is so strong as to be able to function in an environment like that, and Rory gets a new respect for Tinny.
