Description
Here's my belated Towel Day picture, all.Never tried to do a space BG before, pretty pleased with how it turned out! Earth and the moon look dumb, but I'm really pleased with that nebula.(You know, it's the nebula you can totally see from earth. Yes, that one. Shut up.)
Arthur Dent, H2G2 are creations of Douglas Adams

Like, really, really big. You might think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's justΒ peanutsΒ to space! Listen!

This is now one of my favorite Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy fanart. You did a really good job it looks beautiful.

It is also my favorite because he finally got to have his tea. Thank goodness.

There are two things that I love about this. One, it's beautiful. The nebula and Earth are just fantastic! Two, Arthur finally got his cup of tea.

Oh, gosh! I drew something just like this just recently, and I've never seen this before!

"Space is big. Space is so mindbendingly amazingly huge you'd go crazy trying to comprehend it.

I can't believe I've gone this entire year without commenting on this! Wow, I feel so dense! This is one of THE BEST Hitchhiker's pieces I've found on DA. It's sad really that it doesn't have a better following here, because I absolutely LOVE Hitchhiker's and expected to have this love filled more thoroughly. *sigh* Alas, it cannot be. Lovely piece though

Thank you so much! I wish there was a more active H2G2 fandom too but I guess the trick is that it's not recent.
I have nothing specific planned for Towel Day but the inclination to do fanart does tend to pop up around then.

Hm, I always thought that the best fandom following always consisted of the oldies. I suppose H2H2 is just a little too far off the radar

That is a frood who totally knows where his towel is at.
Also: you can see the Milky Way from Earth, totally.

First thing I thought when I saw this? 'You have your towel!'. Seriously. And that was as thumbnail, not knowing it was Arthur Dent.

I love the fact you have him floating in space and he's more concerened about his cup of tea. Typical English man

I would fave it on principle just for being a HG2G pic, but throw in the fact that it's adorable and really well done and well, ... LOVE XD
Your nebula is epic and I'm so pleased that Arthur finally got his tea XD

Is that a guide in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

*buzz noise*
The correct quote was Tibetan ritual dagger. Not guide.
Silly fan.

i love his expression. it says "well, i'm floating aimlessly through space.... but i've got tea. okay."

Arthur looks tired, I mean look all the stuff he's been gone through!

You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
This is awesome

haha YYESSS!!!
this is so awesome!!
poor arthur. he just wants some tea. i feel so sorry for him through the whole series.
looks good. the kind of gross thing is that through the first three books, dentarthurdent wears that one robe. just the one.
rereading those RIGHT NOW. they're frikin hilarious.

Marvelous! You did a great job with the background, and Arhtur is PERFECT, from sleep-deprived/tea at last! expression to his furry slippers.

Ah, fantastic. The concept and picture is wonderful and beautiful, but also the details really make it - like the necessities in the dressing-gown pocket, the tea steam...
I can't love it enough!

This is fantastic! I'm squirming with nerdy glee, over here, and something about the position of his legs is just anatomically awesome. xD Really great work!

From the thumbnail, for some weird reason, I thought this was Little Prince. But I love what it actually turned out to be, too.

Wonderful! Love the slippers and the eye bags
Just after this the tea sadly floated out of the cup

Pretty much the outcome you'd expect considering Arthur's track record concerning tea.

Ahh what I wouldn't give to casually sip tea in orbit around the earth...

It would be pretty awesome. A logistical nightmare, but awesome.

I say stuff the logistics and live a little!!

omg. I KNOW. I live in the country.. and it seems its a bit more GINOURMOUS out here. You are so spot on.

Oh don't look at me! I'm quoting the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That's what this is fanart for.

Nice picture ^^
You did a great catch on the character!

Oh, wow, now this is brilliant! Makes me wish I did something for Towel Day other than take a shower...
I love Arthur's expression. It makes me think, "Yes I'm in space, yes I should be wondering why I'm still breathing, but screw that, I'll be fine as long as I've got tea." It captures his personality very well.

Now now, don't belittle your efforts. Taking a shower is one of those vital rituals that keep the world moving! It honours Adam's memory, why not!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it.

I was looking through Arthur Dent pictures... and dude, half of them are rubbish or ford/arthur slash pictures. That's not cool.
But yours is very very nice so THANK YOU so very much for this~
I like the style and the feel to this picture. :3 Very enjoyable to look at. :3
