Description This will be my last Justin x Beth piece for just a little bit, so I can do a couple pieces for Izzy x Owen and Eva x Noah. (And to give me time to plan out my entry for the JxB fanclub contest...) <3

Anyhow, I decided to try a more traditional illustrated style with a hint of cartoon undertones. So I did a graphite portrait of them and then painted in a simple CG background. I went with a night sky, because I just liked how it set off the silvery tones of the pencil work.

0.5mm mechanical 2B pencil on sketch paper with a CG background. Started it yesterday morning before coloring my other picture. Probably worked on this one 7 hours all together.

Can I just say that this is utterly fantastic?!

The pencil work contrasts beautifully with the background, and you didn't even try to make beth prettier, proving that she's awesome just the way she is . Instant fave! Beautifully done, with my favorite couple

Thank you! Not "prettifying" Beth was one of my top goals when I was drawing this. I wanted her to still look like Beth... just in a different art style. I agree that she's awesome the way she is, so your comment echoing that feeling made my night.

JxB is my favorite couple too.

YESH! JXB FANS UNITE!

I shall try to draw this couple soon. And yes, one of the top main reasons why this couple is so special to me is because it has that "beauty and the beast" element to it, in more ways than one Don't you agree?

Definitely! Some months back I did a character exploration drabble about them on FF.net. Justin was planning to make Beth over to be beautiful on the outside, and Beth was just trying to help Justin become beautiful on the inside. Love the multiple layers to them!

This is the one:

I seem to favor couples that contain characters who have Beauty/Beast elements or aren't the usual "beauties and hunks".

You have just given me the most evil idea for my Eva/Noah picture, btw.

Ah yes I remember reading that story...I think I reviewed it -my ff account is NightOfAThousandDreams- I did several oneshots on them...and what idea would that be I love Neva as well

I knew that username was familiar. You wrote Wait for You and Reflection! I thought I'd reviewed them, but I must not have yet. I put them in my favorites. I think we've been on a few of the same forum threads there too.

On the Neva front, I suddenly had a mental image of Disney's Beauty and the Beast with Noah and Eva in the lead roles. Eva has the temper, and Noah is totally bookworm enough. There are certain scenes that just popped straight to mind, and they're being drawn. When you picture the iconic image from the film with Noah and Eva in their respective roles though... I can't mentally change those outfits. LOL

Ayupyup, I wrote 'em...and if it was the forums where I was ranting...hehe. LOL, Noah in the yellow dress

LOL No ranting that I remember, but I did notice that we shared some of the same favorite and least favorite pairings on the list threads.

Yep. Noah will rock the yellow dress!

I think my mind is still scrambled after watching the trailer for Total Drama the Musical.

YESH! I shall await the sexy Noah/Belle thingy!

Yeah, mine is too...Actually, I'm kinda relieved that Trent, Geoff, and in some ways, Duncan won't be hogging the screen. I mean, I love them all, but they've had their fair share of screentime, especially Duncan.

I'm a little confused by the new characters though...but then again who wouldn't be? Hm...Alejandro's the new Justin eh? THAT GIVES ME HOPE! Maybe, Justin and Beth hooked up, and we'll see them offscreen as a couple!!...that is only my hope dreaming though.

I'm hoping it'll mean something good for Beth and Justin that they needed a new evil model, but I'm still bummed there was no Beth clip in the trailer. Justin was performing with Trent in what looks like next season's version of Aftermath, so I'd love to see something of him together with Beth.

I'm stoked about Noah and Tyler getting some screentime. Wish it looked like Ezekiel were getting more.

The new girl's squeal was painful, but her crushing Cody in her boobage was promising.

hehe, Trent, Justin, and Sasquatchinawka...the Beatles! Lol!. Yeah...I'm praying...begging...PLEASE LET JUSTINXBETH HAPPEN!!

If you look closely at the TDA episodes, you can tell that JXB is a HUGE possiblity. Anyways, yeah the new characters seem interesting enough...lol, a Cody fangirl XD
