Description You fill up my senses
like a night in the forest
like the mountains in springtime,
like a walk in the rain
like a storm in the desert,
like a sleepy blue ocean
you fill up my senses,
come fill me again.

Come let me love you,
let me give my life to you
let me drown in your laughter,
let me die in your arms
let me lay down beside you,
let me always be with you
come let me love you,
come love me again.

(instrumental)



You fill up my senses
like a night in the forest
like the mountains in springtime,
like a walk in the rain
like a storm in the desert,
like a sleepy blue ocean
you fill up my senses,
come fill me again.

~"Annie's Song," John Denver --> CLICKY CLICKY [link]

Please click on the link; it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Then again, I'm totally biased because I love John Denver. YEE HAW.

Anyway, backstory time: I think one of my aunts is under the impression that I'm still a tween, because she keeps buying me subscriptions to Seventeen magazine. Which is very sweet of her, it really is, and I truly appreciate her thoughtfulness. But Seventeen magazine isn't exactly my thing. Like, at all. Art, however, IS my thing, and Seventeen magazine occasionally has nifty little pictures I can use for reference. So I guess my aunt's subscription worked out; I don't read the articles about "How to Be a Good Kisser LOLOMG," but I DO tear out the pictures of said kissers and use them to draw anatomically-incorrect Victorians.

(Seriously, what the heck, me? Jasper's head is huge. Or Elise's head is tiny. I can kid myself into saying that it looks better in real life.)

I did this in ballpoint pen, which is the reason why I really couldn't do anything to fix their wonky heads save for crumpling up the whole thing and starting over. And clearly, I was more focused on "hurr hurr ballpoint pen is fun!" than "hurr hurr, anatomy is fun!"

Ballpoint pen IS fun, though. WAY too much fun. But I still might give this another go in the future so I can correct their stupid heads.

Also, when I first drew Jasper, he looked eerily like Steve Carell, so I had to wrestle with that, too. STOP KISSING ELISE, STEVE CARELL.

For shame. For shame.

Jasper & Elise Β© me.

"STOP KISSING ELISE, STEVE CARELL."
I freaking died.
Also, I think it's Jasper's nose that's throwing everything off.
No offense, Nose, you're just rather... prominent.

I once dated a guy who's head was like, twice as big as mine. I looked at photos and thought I look like a little kid next to him! Well my point is that could be realistic! Plus, it's hard to draw that general facial expression that the woman is wearing and make it look attractive and not old and alien-like, so props!

wow....... (just saying, I like Steve Carell, have you seen the last episodes he was in the office? I cried. *shot*)

Anyway this is so realistic, yet, in your style. It's just epic. So chiseled and precise.

I LOVE THE OFFICE SO MUCH YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. (But no, actually...it's funny. I've never actually watched it in order. Just based on whatever episode is on. But I have seen a few of the ones without Michael, and it's just not the same. )

Thank you so much!

YESSSSSSSSSS WIN

oh i don't have cable so i've just watched them on netflix in order, the episodes where Michael leaves are so sad! But him and what's-her-face (HOLLY! that's it!) finally get together and it's just so sweet. I cried, I seriously did.

The same thing happened when I was grocery shopping a few months ago--it was the same song, too! I literally stopped in the middle of the aisle with this dopey grin on my face and started swaying, going, "Sunshiiiiine...on my shouldeeeeerrrrs....makes me HAPPEEEEEEEE!"

Gotta love Johnny Denver!

You like that sort of lean masculine face in general, don't you?

Muirin007 In reply to Chepseh [2011-09-22 05:15:31 +0000 UTC]

Ha, hey, you're right! I never noticed that! Jasper could definitely be the rocker-type if he lived today...although I feel like he'd play the banjo or the harmonica rather than the acoustic guitar. Or the kazoo, or something. Or the drums, for the sheer fact that he could bang on them and get a kick out of making a racket.

He is so talented.

You know, I never really noticed that that face shape works its way into so many of my drawings until several people pointed it out. But yes, I suppose I do...it's super fun to draw, especially the angles of the cheek and jaw bones.

Phantom-Jaselin [2011-09-21 02:35:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, the head size might not be perfect, but your really rendered the depth of space and shape of their heads very well. Also your pen strokes are very nice, I love the way they seem to move in their hair.

Also, I absolutely love your character Jasper, He's brilliant.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I had a ball with their hair, actually!

(And thank you again about Jasper...he's grown on me, too. )

By the way, I meant to tell you earlier, but I haven't had the time: your artwork looks especially amazing these days! Of course, it's always been awesome, but lately, it's just fabulous. I can tell you're really cementing your individual style. It's looking awesome!

That's high praise coming from you!

But yeah, I've been slowy improving ever since I started college. But lately I've been really focusing on my individual style so I can more properly render my own characters. I'm really glad it shows.

Seriously, I love this. I love these two! And when you think about it, Jasper is so much bigger/taller than Elise, doesn't that make the heads sort of in proportion?

And I love that song too; the first time it came out (yipe!) I was in the midst of my first comic series and did an entire full-page multipanel of the hero thinking about the heroine. I can still see the little music video I imagined for that in my head.
