art: "Hold On, Moonpie" [G] . BBT . S/P

Title: "Hold On, Moonpie"
Artist: renisanz 
Medium: pencil
Rating: G
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: The pencil lines are my own.
Prompt: mrsvc : "The Gang plays Mario Kart on the Wii" or "... just Sheldon and Penny then because they are super cool all on their own ♥"
Notes: My first attempt that this involved Penny and Sheldon playing Wii, and then Penny licking Sheldon on the neck to distract him and allow her to win the game. So...that's not completely out of the question to draw later (I started on it), but, as a rule, I've been drawing all of these on 5.5"x8.5" sheets of card stock to limit how ambitious I get with the drawings and so they will all be of equal quality. Hope you're happy with this instead Jak(ai?) (and K.). :)

Yes, there are quite a few anatomy issues. Foreshortening is hard, okay?

Feedback is lovely. :)

This is awesome!! Foreshortening is really hard to get down!! And I think you did really well with it!

Thanks! :)

Like your icon. :)

Dude, I'm so behind, but this is totally brilliant. Especially his expression. (I KNOW, SHELDON. HANG IN THERE.)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Ha! Thank you. :)

I actually learned something about facial muscles while drawing this. Apparently, you can't have a relaxed mouth when your eyes are scrunched up. I figured it out later in the drawing process.

I'd so pay to see this in the show... love it!

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be awesome. Thank you. :)

Lovelovelove! Penny/Sheldon and Mario Cart, some of my favorite things! Thanks, I always love your artwork though.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I missed replying to your comment. :/

Thank you so much. I'm glad you continue to enjoy my art. :)

Oh wow, I've never seen them in something like this! It's brilliant! That angle WOULD be hard to get, don't worry, I can't even notice any issues! :D It's all amazing to me.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

Many times it's hard to tell if it doesn't look right because of the angle or if something is really off.

[mint-amaretto.livejournal.com]

This is lovely, so pretty and clean. Just wow.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I did spend a bit of time cleaning up the lines. There was a lot of sketchiness. ;)

My favorite parts to this (aside from the look on Sheldon's face) is the Queen Penelope logo (I think you should use it for everything now) and the penny blossom on the side. The bike itself did look a little off to me until I realized you based it off an actual Mario Kart Motorbike. You have such an amazing eye for detail!

aside from the look on Sheldon's face)

OMG...I stressed about that quite a bit. His face was completely different, and then after I was about to scan it in (or a little while after) I realized it wasn't right and that I needed to draw his mouth pursed up as well.

I've only played Mario Kart maybe once and that was several years ago, I did have to look up a reference. I totally based this off the pic of Princess Peach. :) Thank you. :)

LOVE this one and all the detail you put into it. I don't know why, but I giggled when I saw the little tuft of Sheldon's hair that's caught in the wind. So adorable.:D

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you like that detail and everything else. :)

[mrssnape13.livejournal.com]

Poor Sheldon. At least he's not screaming...yet. XD I loved all of the details! Sheldon's face, the logos on Penny's bike, and their HAIR. It really, really looks like them! :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :D You're adorable (if that is you in your icon). :)

[mrssnape13.livejournal.com]

*blush* Yes, it's me. Thank you so much! ^^

[misskoum.livejournal.com]

(Foreshortening is my arch nemesis. I know how you feel!)

I can't tell you how much I adore this composition. Stress on the ADORE! My eye is led PERFECTLY through this piece and that's not always easily done! I could see this happening on the show.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :D

I can do ok if I have a good reference, but I had to improvise quite a few things, so I'm glad it looks alright to you. :)

I LOVE YOU I LOVE THIS I LOVE YOU I LOVE THIS I LOVE YOU I LOVE THIS

RENI, IT IS AWESOME! PENNY IS SO BADASS ALL THE TIME AND POOR SHELDON'S THINKING, "OH GOD WHAT IF MY MOTHER IS RIGHT?" AND I AM LOLING AND DYING AND BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU AND THIS AND I SEE NO ANATOMY ISSUES, ALL I SEE IS YOUR AMAZING.

YOUR AMAZING IS SHOWING, RENI. IT IS SHOWING.

BABY, WHEN YOU GIFT ME BEAUTIFUL ART LIKE THIS. YOU CAN CALL ME WHATEVER YOU LIKE.

I LOVE YOU I LOVE THIS I LOVE YOU I LOVE THIS I LOVE YOU I LOVE THIS

This is really cute and I say the following with all possible <3, because I can barely draw stick-figures, never mind anything that requires foreshortening.

But it looks like Sheldon is using Penny's breasts as a hand muffler. And I can't stop laughing about it.

Which, considering how today has been going, is actually a wonderful thing, so thank you!

Ha! OMG, I think I love you for this comment. Seriously, I'm actually glad you noticed it, because I almost wrote about it in the Artist's Note, but was curious to see if anyone would say anything. Glad you like it, though. :)

So, uhm...would you like a special art treat?

[rubyzoom.livejournal.com]

Uh...well, if you're feeling super generous, go listen to the song "Delilah" by the Dresden Dolls and go from there. I'm in the middle of a fic spawned by this song myself.

I know I'm like 8 years late here (busy busy busy!), but I couldn't NOT comment on this. :D I MEAN. SHELDON. HIS FACE. JUST LOOK AT IT. I mean, I'm sure you have... but everyone else... LOOOOOOK. It's like perfection. That expression is so full of just... everything. AND THE HAIR. Brilliant.

And I always like finding little (but very important) details like the P with the Crown on it. Queen Penelope! ♥

Beautiful job. :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

No worries. This drawing has only been up for about a day. Thanks for taking the time to comment and I'm glad you like it, especially the details. :)

[split-the-ocean.livejournal.com]

Woah, I totally thought I'd already commented on this! Hah, anyways, Sheldon's face is PERFECT! I love it! And that little tuft of hair that's flipping up in the front? IT'S KINDA AMAZING.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Haha. Well, I'm glad you took the time to come back and comment. :D Thank you. Good to know I gave Sheldon the appropriate expression. :)

[sa-4-geeks.livejournal.com]

I adore Penny's ponytail blowing in the wind and the; "Yeah baby this is what it's all about" look on her face.
I'm also loving the look on Sheldon's face. :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :D

[she-burns1.livejournal.com]

I love how the background sort of coincides with Penny's hair. And Sheldon's face! He better hold on tight! ;)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I guess her hair does flow into that swirl of the background.

[d-sieya.livejournal.com]

Ahaha! Oh, Sheldon's face is perfect in this, I love his eyebrows <33 And Penny's hair. The Queen P badge on the front of her motorcycle is a nice little detail

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[ishie]

OMG I absolutely adore the whimsy of it - great choice to put them in the game instead of just playing it!

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

That was my aim, yay! My first draft actually had them playing the game, but then I thought of this and had to do it. Thank you. :)
