Description I put this up at my Tumblr account, which I normally do with things I don't intend to put up here, but. Well. I like it. *shrug* I especially like how Launchpad looks. So, here it is.

Background: This is from the 4th chapter of TWC4 ([link] ), where Beth decides to dress up in order to try to impress Drake, and ends up accidentally impressing the wrong guy. She makes a quick exit to the upstairs bathroom to change clothes, and when Drake informs everyone that this is where she's gone, LP gets stuck with a mental picture. XD

I'll just say this: best reason to draw tastefully nude Beth *ever*. It's from a fic so I don't have to fret about how OOC it is!

I'll scrap this in a week or two but for now have fun.

Beth (c) me
Launchpad (c) Disney.

Oh, this is excellent! I really, really like it! LP's guilty expression and pose is *perfect*! (Not to mention, seriously on model.) And beth looks absolutely gorgeous. The nudity here is very tasteful, and I lovee how even in his fantasy, she's still mostly hidden and looking a little shy - the pose is well executed.

Thank you so much! I had the idea in mind for months and I was never sure how I could actually do it, but I decided to sit down and try it as a sketch just for my own piece of mind. And it turns out that I drew maybe the best LP I've ever done, entirely without refs, so YAY. That's part of why I'll never finish this (not that I really think it needs to be finished) - I feel like if I try to change LP he won't look as good anymore. XD

And that's about how I expect LP's mind would work. Too much kind of an innocent guy to actually envision her naked, instead he kind of *starts* to and gets really embarrassed just by the idea. XD I probably idealize him too much but honestly, it cracks me up.

I absolutely get what you're worried about. I've definitely ruined my share of good sketches back when I was still inking traditionally, for example. Or discovered that adding colour just didn't improve it in any way.

LOL! I could totally see him like that, personally. He doesn't come off as being assuming or even a player in any way in canon - and very sweet. Like him a lot, too! (Which is part of the reason I like Beth/LP so much, her nervousness, shyness, modesty and honesty just... fit so well with him, somehow.)

Zebeckras In reply to Marij-main [2012-02-25 21:41:02 +0000 UTC]

I haven't inked anything traditionally in a while, which is sort of a shame because at least it gets the inking done more quickly (I can do it in a day or so rather than over the course of several, wich is what I have to do digitally or else I rush it and it comes out weird. But yeah, I think this one definitely would not be improved by either traditional or digital inking... the sketchiness works in its favour, IMO. Colour could be an option but... Why mess with it when I like it this way. it's too much of a throwaway to benefit very much from a colour anyway

LP in DuckTales definitely had more of an... assertive personality than LP in Darkwing. I'm sorta trying to blend the two lately in my writing, but... general Mr. Nice Guy wins out I'm afraid. XD (Though I'll admit, sometimes it's fun to acknowledge that he *might* be thinking a bit more than Mr. Nice Guy thoughts. XD) Oh - and thanks. I think his being a non-threatening type of guy is a part of why he and Beth work together. Sometimes I get concerned that I'm sorta pushing the envelope with him on that, but honestly, he is SO passive and non-threatening in most of the episodes... heh. ;D

Hahaha, thank you I can't do "lewd" for Beth, she'd never trust me again and I'd never forgive myself But I can do suggestive, it seems, provided I have the right excuse. XD I LOVE BACKS, by the way. I have such a thing for backs. And thanks - Launchpad and his utter embarrassment/inability to not think of this are just my favouritest thing here, it's awful to admit this, but I keep going back to it and giggling XD

I absolutely love how you drew LP.
He looks so... well, so perfect! Sorry, I can't make a better comment than this, but you REALLY got him 100% here; from the finger-poking and aaaw, all that blushing! And his eyes - oddly enough I always have a hard time drawing his eyes, and these are just perfect and goes along so eminent with his beak.
I have to say he is great! And Beth - God this is cute! The whole scenario is adorable and hilarious at the same time - exactly how I feel those two together are. Just darn sweet! ^^

Zebeckras In reply to FrothingLizard [2012-02-11 19:48:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Honestely, it was my happiness with how Launchpad turned out here that got me to put this up, otherwise I'd just have kept it up on my Tumblr. But he looks so doggoned *right* in this that I couldn't waste it there. And yes! His eyes are SO hard which is why I was like "OMG this worked so well" when I saw this! Haha, I feel like such an egotist agreeing with you but I am *really* happy with how he looks here. And considering I was without any kind of reference at all it's a real accomplishment.

is it sad that this is probably my favourite moment in the fic I'm writing so far? XD Thank you!

Zebeckras In reply to CeVarity [2012-02-11 19:51:35 +0000 UTC]

From the "I'd picture it too" comments I'm getting I'm beginning to think that this is along the same lines as "I'd hit that." Seriously, poor LP, his mind's in the gutter. The GUTTER! All Drake said was "she's upstairs changing" and this just happened. I have to say, Beth aside, I'm super happy with how LP looks. If not for that I'd have left this at my Tumblr but... it seemed a waste.

Zebeckras In reply to TricksyBird [2012-02-11 19:52:48 +0000 UTC]

Thank you thank you He *has* to be embarrassed, this whole thing is too new and weird to be enjoyed yet. Besides, he's a gentleman. And they certainly never picture anyone naked, ohhhh no.

...He'll enjoy the mental picture later. LOL, thanks!

Zebeckras In reply to IndyHorizon [2012-02-11 19:56:06 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The hand gesture came out of manga, something I've seen a few different artists do when a character is shy/embarrassed, and it seemed appropriate here XD This is perhaps the best Launchpad I've ever drawn without any reference, so I'm pretty happy with it! And yes, I forgive him for having an imagination.

IndyHorizon In reply to Zebeckras [2012-02-11 19:59:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh good , btw this might be a silly question but, what's manga? Is it like a drawing style?

Zebeckras In reply to IndyHorizon [2012-02-11 20:02:51 +0000 UTC]

Manga is the comic version of anime; so it's generally Japanese (not necessarily but generally) graphic novels, comics, etc. I actually almost said anime in place of manga, but realized that I was thinking really more of the comics so changed it But as I said, I seem to see it more in the manga than in American comics, so I guess maybe it's a sort of Japanese piece of body language? though it seems rather universal to me

IndyHorizon In reply to Zebeckras [2012-02-11 20:09:48 +0000 UTC]

Ohh, okay, that makes sense now! I was only familiar with a little anime from the 90'. Yeah, most students at the university who are directly from Japan or China seem to do those kind of things, so I think you're right. It must be a culture/social thing. But, hey, that gesture makes sense to me!
