Description It was another wonderfully dreary, dark day in The Pits, and Murky Dismal was in his lab, working on his newest scheme to conquer Rainbow land.

In the middle of mixing a strangely florescent concoction for the barrel of his Dismal Blaster 3.0, there came a knock on the door downstairs. The loud echoing knock, heard even above the thunder outside, caused Murky to drop an entire jar of sludge into the mix. Three hours of hard work, ruined.

“Grrrr! Lurky!!! Answer the door!” he screamed as he began clearing the mess. There was no answer, and moments later the knocking returned, louder and more insistent.

“LURKY! You celery-brain! Answer the door!” Murky then remembered that Lurky was out getting supplies to restock the kitchen, the contents of which had spoiled beyond even his taste after the twenty years he and Lurky accidentally spent drifting from planet to planet. He was never going to try abducting a Wajah again.

“Fine, I’ll answer it myself.” With a sigh he hopped down from his stool and went down the winding stone stairs as the pounding resumed. Three thunderous knocks. “I’m coming! I’m coming!!

“Whatever you’re selling, we’re not interest… ed…” His words died on his lips as soon as he flung the door open to see a tall figure standing on the other side. Then there was a crash of lightning, illuminating the sky behind this man, and for that split second Murky’s mind saw the man as larger, sharper, more deadly than anything he’d ever seen, with eyes piercing into his very core.

So he slammed the door.

Then bolted and barricaded it.

--------------------------

And that's how Murky Dismal met his nephew Murky II. Though he had no clue that the tall stranger at his door was a relative.

The lightning and heavy shadows on Murky II were an interesting challenge. I think it turned out alright, yeah? ^^



Murky Dismal and other Rainbow Brite characters belong to Hallmark.
Murky II, this drawing and little story are mine.

Poor Murky II just had to show up in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Yep, but the chances of not showing up during a storm while in the Pits is pretty slim.

I love it.
I can completely see it happening as you described it.

I imagine Murky II is quite perplexed at being locked out.

woww!!!asweome drawing and writting. I love Murky II's expression...I want to brush his hair with my fingers *¬*
The shading in his face went fantastic, it does seem like the light is behind him. Lol Murky had a surprise....lol
BTW I'm almost done with the Geena and Murky II drawing

freetre In reply to StardustThief [2009-05-16 14:55:04 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Hahaha, glad you like his expression and hair! Let's hope that his hair stays like that on it's own and isn't loaded with hair product. Don't imagine it's fun to run fingers through that stuff! XD

The face shading was hard! Had to hunt down reference and do some improvising (since his face shape is quite different then what I found, and directions were different.)

Yay! I can't wait to see the drawing!

I like how even their clothes hang differently on them. It's like if Chuck Bass (gossip girl ref., please don't hate me!) just happened to stop by.

Will you ever get into where Murky II, and by effect Murky came from?

freetre In reply to Animikean [2009-05-16 04:47:17 +0000 UTC]

Ah, never seen Gossip Girl (show right?)

I hope I get to where Murky II comes from. I already know, it's just a matter of getting it down on paper and everything.

TavalyaRa [2009-05-16 04:08:13 +0000 UTC]

Wow. This is a very striking picture for both of them. Murky II cuts quite a figure- I think he looks more curious than menacing, however you made his expression ambiguous enough that I understand how Uncle Murky might interpret it that way. The lightning in the background certainly doesn't help. (Wonderful effect with that, by the way!)

For Murky I, it looks like this is his face just before he registers his fear. I actually want to give him a hug.

freetre In reply to TavalyaRa [2009-05-16 04:33:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Yeah, I didn't want Murky II to be trying to look scary. Just accidently scary. Glad to know I pulled it off. ^^

*giggles* Awwww. Uncle Murky does look cuddly there, doesn't he? Nice and squishy too. But I bet he wouldn't care for a hug.

TavalyaRa In reply to freetre [2009-05-16 04:36:01 +0000 UTC]

I think you did. ^^

I imagine a hug would invoke a scream and he'd immediately pop out of my arms and run away.

He quite possibly would do that.

LOVE the story in the summery. Also the expressions are amazing beyond words. Murky II looks perfectly scary and Murky looks perfectly scared and big eyed like a puppy. It almost makes me want to go 'aw'. As always, I look forward to more.

Thanks! Writing's a challenge for me, but a nice change as well. Glad I could pull of scary for Murky II. It was a challenge, with the angle, and lighting and all.

Go ahead, say "awww" at Murky. It's fun to go "awww"
