Characters: (implied) Rimmer/Lister
Fandom: Red Dwarf
Rating: R
Notes: This is a fanart piece requested by kahvi for her and roadstergal's amazing fic Breaking the Chain. I'm very happy that she asked me to draw fanart because I wanted to draw something based on their fics anyway, but couldn't decide between all the fics. So it's nice when someone makes the decisions for you :)




Rimmer stopped and almost dropped the clothes. He juggled them at the sight of Lister's back muscles flexing, his buttocks jiggling, his rasta plaits slithering down his back to point to said buttocks, as if they were some perverted road sign. "I... er..."

Lister's expression confuses me. I suspect I may need to re-read BTC. Which isn't a bad thing, it'll take away the nasty taste of upcoming exams.

I love Rimmer's expression. It's... I really don't want to say 'perfect', because I know it's a really lazy way of saying all those other awesome specific positive things that I spent a few years in school learning to notice. On the other hand, my brain is gunk. So yes, it's perfect. And the backgrounds, but by now that pretty much goes without saying.

Oh, this makes me happy. Let that be said first of all. Very happy. More of this later. :)

To get the concrit out of the way, I agree with tawg in that Lister's expression seems a bit odd. I absolutely see what you were trying to do with it though! I'm also not entirely sure what is going on with the proportions of his arms, lovely though they may be.

Otherwise, lovely coloring, as usual. You get Lister's coloring right! And dark brown hair, thank you! :D And I see you put those background caps to good use. The background is fantastic. Best of all though, is Rimmer. The expression... That is the exact expression I saw when we wrote this. I also love the pose you gave him - it's like he's moving on the page. Well. The screen. You know.

Happy, yes. You know, it's so odd. There's really nothing like the feeling of having something you've created move into another medium, or be worked on further by someone else. Collab-fics have something of that within them from the start, but seeing something like this... It's pretty awesome. So thank you so much for making the sory alive in a different way!

Ah, how did I miss this? Wonderful!

I completely agree with the above. The background is very well done, and that's a fantastic Rimmerspression. Nice positioning, lovely shading all throughout.

I do agree that Lister's expression is a little odd, but that's pretty rich coming from someone who can't even start to draw. ;) (Rimmer's saying that he didn't have the H in BTC, but I told him that's not what we're looking at, and he knows it.)
