Title: "Rosy-Minded Fuzz"

Artist: renisanz 
Medium: Pencil drawing on cold-press watercolor paper (hence the texture); colored in Photoshop CS2
Characters: Alec Hardison, Parker
Pairing: Parker/Hardison
Rating: G
Warnings/Spoilers: None.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. The pencil lines are my own.
Notes: I originally wanted to write a fic based on this image I had in my head. I just ended up drawing it instead. Title of this is from "Apartment Story" by The National.

Teaser:






I had mixed feelings about this after coloring it, but it's grown on me, and the response has been really strong on tumblr. So, there's that. :)

Here's the pencil version:

Feedback is lovely and much appreciated. :)

I love your art so much. And I love The National. So I'm not sure if I can avoid a plot bunny on this one. ;) (Of course, finding the time to write it is another 'story' altogether.)

Oh, that would be absolutely lovely if you wrote something for this. Of course, I understand how real life takes priority. Thank you. :D

I am blown away by anyone who can do this type of art... and then you make that art my favorite pairing? I go to a special happy flaily place.

This is lovely, both in just pencil and in color! Absolutely wonderful.

Now, how do we get the powers that be to make this scene a reality in Season 5??? :)

Thank you!

My Muse leaves me little choice but to do art for this pairing, since there's so little fan art for them. I'm glad you enjoy it. :)

I think the coloring makes their facial features clearer--I like. :) And you did a great job with her messy braid.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I am pleased with how their faces turned out. Hardison's face is always hard for me to get quite right. :)

This is...just...I don't know the words. I love them both. The one you colored in looks exactly like them, which is stupid to say cause that's the point, but it looks as though they posed for you.

This is just...phenomenal.

Aw, thank you. I do spend a lot of time looking at references as I'm drawing them, so that helps a lot. :)

oh this is glorious!

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

OMG. Loving it! They look so young in your drawing that it makes me think of what they would've been like in college together. (Maybe the fact that I just watched The Experimental Job last night is factoring in a bit, too.) That sketch is so pretty and delicate-looking. <3

Thank you!

I guess this does have an AU feel to it. It's interesting that you mention it, because a few hours ago I was wondering what sort of AU I could work Hardison and Parker into. I mean, they've disguised themselves as so many different characters, it would be interesting if they had to keep up the rouse for an extended period of time.

[library-of-sex.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I'd love to see a job that spans 2 eps or so where they have to stay in character for longer than a few days.

Please keep sharing your lovely H/P work cuz there just isn't enough love for these two on LJ. They're pretty much all I make icons of nowadays cuz they've hijacked my brain with their cuteness! :P

I adore your art and this is really beautiful. Your Aldis is always spot on.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I think this is the best I've drawn his face so far. :)

[unavoidedcrisis.livejournal.com]

So so so so so beautiful. I don't have words to explain what I mean, just noises of glee.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Glad you like it. :D

[yaya-wr8t3r.livejournal.com]

Aw ♥ I really like this :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

Oh wow, this is awesome!
