Title: "The Maudlin Impediment Quandary"
Artist: renisanz
Medium: pencil
Rating: G
Warning: None.
Prompt: rightxhere : ...something along the lines of this icon I'm using? With Sheldon having either both or one hand on Penny's shoulder? Almost as though he's pleading with her to stay?
Notes: I wanted to get these started right away and try to do them in order of request. I started drawing, and my Muse demanded suggested that Sheldon would look nice in his Shel-Mart!cardigan, and I agreed.

Well there you go again, making me jealous of Penny's hair. Lol, I love the braid, its such a small detail but its perfect. I also love that Sheldon's wearing a cardigan, it weirdly suits him and he needs to wear one in the show now.
And oh, there's that watch again... :D I lovez da watches on ma Sheldon!

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I had a bit of a time decided what type of hairstyle to give Penny. Again, the watch was the last detail I added for Sheldon. Every time his left arm is visible I have to draw it. :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

I've added the colored version. :)

[split-the-ocean.livejournal.com]

Oh its even better coloured! I love the colour you chose for Sheldon's cardigan (and I really like the canon shirt too). Perfect!

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I think it's easier to just draw the canon clothing. I sampled the red color from the long sleeved shirt he was wearing underneath the striped one.

[yavie-namarie.livejournal.com]

Love love love love love!!!!!!! <3
And I think going with the cardigan was definitely a good idea. The sleeves highlight those gorgeous arms of his... :3

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. So glad the cardigan worked out. As I was drawing it I couldn't help but think of the similarity to Mr. Rogers. :P

[yavie-namarie.livejournal.com]

Lol! I totally see it! XD

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Cool.

I've added the colored version to this post. :)

[evelynvaughn01.livejournal.com]

The hair really is gorgeous. And the expressions on their faces. Thank you for drawing this and for sharing it!

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thanks and you're welcome/ :D

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

I've added the colored version. :)

GLEE! Cardigan!

The soft shading and the heavy outline is really doing it for me. I love this piece. I can almost hear Sheldon saying Penny's name in that deep voice he uses sometimes! *drifts off into dreamland* Beautiful as always.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you. :)

The heavy outline is a stylistic thing I picked up a few years ago. Found it really helps define things. And I used to read a lot of comic books.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

I've added the colored version. :)

GOOD GOD. This may be my favorite you've done. If you don't plan on coloring it (way better than I ever could), I may be tempted to. Just as reasonable excuse to stare at it for a prolonged period of time. HA! But, wow. Her hair. Her posture. Her neck. HIS SWEATER. And wristwatch. You will probably NEVER cease outdoing yourself! SO PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP. ;D

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, really? That's something. I wasn't sure about the prompt but I was dedicated to fulfilling these. So I'm glad it I attempted it now. :)

I may color this, now that you mention it, but you're free to take a stab at it. :)

[fujiidom.livejournal.com]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I AM DYINGGGGGGG. That is beautiful. I just want to sit and stare at it all day. You're so talented, it hurts. ♥

[mrssnape13.livejournal.com]

CARDIGAN. <3 Thank you!!! :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

[spaceanjl.livejournal.com]

This is lovely. Sheldon can make a cardigan sexy. The way she's looking at his hand...and yes, I can hear the way he says her name. Quiet, and not quite pleading openly.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I really want to color this now just because I think his cardigan would be some garish color that only he can make work. :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

I've added the colored version. :)

[scifigirliegirl.livejournal.com]

Just beautiful.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

*Fzzzzsstbppbbpttt*
Oh wow. I think the coloured version just made my brain blow a circuit breaker... Pardon me while I go put in a new one.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hope I haven't damage you too badly.

Thank you. :)

[yavie-namarie.livejournal.com]

I should be fine. It's just that I can't resist a man in dark colours, especially red...

♥ Gorgeous!

Thank you!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF [IS DEAD]

All the colouring and detail are gorgeous as usual and I have to say I very much approve of Cardi!Sheldon! I love The posture and look on Penny's face. It expresses so much. I can hear Sheldon saying Penny with a twang when I look at this.

JUST AWESOME

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. :) If they put Sheldon in a cardigan on the show it would probably end me. :)

[karu-mila.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is so freakin' adorable! Sheldon can definitely pull off a cardigan like nobody else and you can practically see the chemistry between them.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[hey-am.livejournal.com]

Oh! I didn't think this could get any more awesome AND THEN YOU COLOURED IT!?!

Love the look that Sheldon's giving Penny, and also the touch of canon in his shirt :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Yeah, I experimented a bit with the coloring technique. :)

[sa-4-geeks.livejournal.com]

Gah, this is just so amazing and beautiful.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[she-burns1.livejournal.com]

Part 4!

GAH! Sheldon's eyes just drive me nuts here! And Penny is so soft and beautiful! And I love the background!

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you. :)

I was floored when I first saw this drawing hon, and I see now you've got the colored-in version up now too. I'm so sorry for taking forever to comment.

First, thank you SO SO much for fulfilling my prompt, and oh so perfectly too.

This is just so beautiful; I really love the way Sheldon is looking at Penny, and it breaks my shippy heart the way her shoulders are slumped like that, and the look of sadness on her face.... at the same time, my angst-loving shippy heart loves the hell out of the way he's touching her shoulder, the way he's so close, and just so.... well, there for her.

Thank you a thousand times over for this stunning piece of art work m'dear! I have long loved your arts, and well, okay I'm biased, but this is absolutely my favorite one :) (although if I change my mind when I go now to catch up on your newer arts.... please forgive me!)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Well, thanks so much for the effusive comment. :) I really didn't think I would take the prompt so far as to do a fully colored piece, but I'm really glad I did it and I'm glad that you like it. You of course, provided the icon that I used as a reference so that was very helpful. :)

I forgive you. ;)

I love this! Your art looks amazing both in the line art state and colored, and has a different appeal in either of these. Also, I love the shabby paper texture background, it creates such an amazing mood together with the coloring and the stray pencil lines. <3 I'm on a commenting spree tonight, but what can I do, discovering your drawings all at once have an effect on me!
