Description MOAR ANDALITES.

So... It's Gafinilan and Mertil. THE SADDEST COUPLE(?) IN THE WORLD. I wanted an excuse to experiment with colors as well as draw out different male body-types... kinda. Mertil may be a touch /too/ girly. Oh well. Since Gaffy is covering up most of Mertil's butt, I'll upload him on his own to scraps.

I love these guys. They're the cutest couple in the series (Tobias and Rachel are adorable, not cute ) and I always thought Gafinilan sounded so badass. My latest read through made me ponder how he could have dinner-plate sized hooves when Andalites are always described as dainty... A lot of their physical description doesn't make sense biologically or evolutionarily, so eh. Aliens ftw.

Oh dear



my tear ducts are broken from all of the memories HOW COULD YOU
Gaffie and Mertil had to be my fav Animorphs couple, but I was so sad because poor shy Mertil was left alone. Poor baby.

I really like the way you draw andalites - your interprewtion of both, their body language just fits. I really liked them - it's so sad that they were just forgotten in the later books

You have absolutely done justice to one of the most painful OTPs in the world. I love the grace you bring to the Andalite bodies.

Hey thanks for the comment, glad you like my interpretation! Man I agree though, such a tragic relationship. I should draw more of them. Their book was odd, but I really liked the characters themselves.

Same here! Interesting book - Ax's reaction was particularly interesting, and also awful - but yeah, Gafinilan and Mertil went straight to my list of ultimate OTPs of all time.

Thanks man XD I found them really interesting too. Wish they weren't just random one-offs, they had a lot of potential as side-characters.

Treysonk In reply to lackofa [2013-03-05 19:57:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh no kidding. I mean they left that particular book on such a cliffhanger with those two that I expected at least some continuation or even mention of them in the future, but nooooo. Oh well, maybe she was afraid she would butcher the audience's vision of them. Which I can handle...

Aaaa gosh this is just lovely. I have such a soft spot for these two, no one will ever be able to convince me they are NOT a couple. B'I

I love your depiction of all the different andalites. The body language, and anatomy looks awesome. I love the dainty hooves you give them. I also really like the idea of the pale blues, and purples in their pelts rather than the royal blue and gold usually on the covers. It's nice to see some Animorph fanart sooooo many years after the fact too, thanks for keeping the memories alive!!

Gafinilan and Mertil! You drew them, yay. ...I totally shipped these two before I even knew what slash was, I swear. They were so tragic, and barely showed up, and yet I liked them so much... (actually, I feel like I may have seen this before, possibly commented before, did you crosspost to somewhere on liverjournal, maybe?)

Never got this far in the series but these pictures make me wish I had. You get so much expression into mouthless faces, it's amazing. I especially love that little hand-holding sketch in the upper left.

I can't get over how amazing these are and normally I'd have something more relevant to say but I'm way to excited about how amazing their facial expressions are. I always thought the book covers / illustrations of andalites never quite did them justice because they looked so stiff. So much love.
