Description
Debated whether or not to stick this in Scraps, but eh. It looks kinda cool, especially considering the lineart was hand-drawn.Toying with Captain Haddock's character. Like all good comic reliefs he's equally tragic as he is funny. Going by what a boisterous and big-hearted old salt he is, there must have been some trauma in his past that got him on the drink. As much as I love Tintin, most of the time I find myself identifying with the Captain instead.
Obviously insipred by the poster for the Broadway stage show of "Beauty and the Beast".
And no, I am NOT suggesting that Marlinspike Hall is full of enchanted talking objects (Although, knowing Professor Calculus and his little inventions...)
EDIT: Changed the text. Mostly because I enjoy puns.
Haddock is (c) Herge, Beauty & the Beast is (c) Disney.

If the latest film is anything to go by, technically it should be "Belgian and the Scot" but honestly...WHO CARES?! amazing piece of work

I love Tintin too. This is very nice. Only, it's Loch Lomond whisky, not wine.

I know that Loch Lomond is whisky, but if you've ever seen the poster for the stage musical of Beauty and the Beast, you'll notice the visual motif of the Beast's enchanted red rose with a petal dropping off. I was trying to imitate that.

Tintin/Haddock? So I'm not the only one. *glomps you* Ever since I re-read "Crab with the Golden Claws" it seems like the damn slash writes itself.

Really striking lineart. I like the contrast with the almost free-slowing brushtrokes of the white against the black. Yes, I'm familiar with the original poster too. Good inspiration piece.

Even though I don't remember him, this is definally a very emotional piece here. You did great on the outlines, and the lyrics are a very nice touch. ^_^ This really shows some of his emotional pain very well. And the white outlines on black is a very interesting concept, as well.

I remember TinTin...and this is very well-done. The outline is so smooth, and the quote is just beautiful. I have to listen to that song when I get the chance.

Captain Haddock has always been a fascinating character for me. When Tintin first meets the Captain (I think it was in "The Crab With The Golden Claws" adventure) he is a pathetic drunk who seems to be drowning his troubles in alcohol. One does wonder how he got to be that way.

Nice and deep, LadyKeane. I like Tintin too. The show is still one of my favorites.

Did you ever read the original comic books? The artwork is surprisingly rich and beautiful for such a simple style. Also, the pacing of the stories changes from book to TV, there are some things in the original that you just don't get with the animated version.

I have read the only comic book I have. "Tintin: Destination Moon". Unfortunately I haven't seen the episode on TV (I've always somehow missed it). I agree the artwork is rich and beautiful, considering it looks so simple.
