sharp-dressed man & love is like kittens (cook/archuleta & jason mraz/david, g)

... hi. It's been a while, huh? *is sheepish*

For today's [livejournal.com profile] davidxdavid Post-A-Day, here are some of my (rather poor) attempts at hand-drawn art for the theme Beyond American Idol. One is an AU and another is a non-Idol pairing~ They were both drawn with a Zebra permanent marker and cleaned up in Photoshop.

(Click on the thumbnails to view the whole pics.)



title: sharp-dressed man
description: Covers in the style of doujinshi (Japanese fan comics). Because my drawing skills are epic fail, the doujinshi itself doesn't actually exist. (Cook/Archuleta)
rating: G
notes: The art style/design is inspired by Amato Amaro by Basso, with a paper texture from [livejournal.com profile] ohfreckle. The "story" was from an idea that I had written down on the back of a scratch paper and had misplaced until now.(And for good reason, apparently.)


the back-cover blurb:
"you're in danger. run."

david archuleta is his country’s secret diplomatic weapon. his friendly charm disarms even the most hard-boiled foreign dignitaries, and his success rate at closing deals puts the best smooth-talkers to shame.

however, his new assignment may be too much to handle! treaty negotiations have gone terribly wrong, and now he’s being threatened by a shadowy organization that will stop at nothing to stop
him.

followed by danger and treachery at every turn, david can only rely on mr. cook, his handsome new bodyguard who may be more than meets the eye.
CANNOT. RESIST. SUITS. *_*

title: love is like kittens
description: Obviously, in real life David wouldn't be doing something as boring as sleeping while in the presence of Jason Mraz. (Jason Mraz/David)
rating: G
notes: You should all check out the A Softer World strip I got the title from :3 I'd also like to apologize for Jason and David... not actually resembling Jason and David.


I PROMISE I'LL GET BETTER AND/OR STOP DOING THIS ಥ_ಥ

Please do continue to make more covers! (or post more works up, both are fine to me XD) Sharp-Dressed Man looks fantastic and the style you took up is a breath of fresh air. I too like the rest wish it were real 'cause the plot sounds really good. *nod* I've been meaning to draw some cookleta art too but... I just never got to it :'D the jason mraz picture looks adorable too. ^^

Hee, thank you! I was experimenting with the style, so I'm happy you liked it ♥

And you should draw the Davids too :D Our fandom needs more art!
