Description
Fanart for !This is her original character Simone together with Vetinari from the discworld books.
This picture was very inspired by - [link]
closeup of faces : [link]
Now, long story how this was made:
I actually started working on this well over a year ago!!!
But then I just got stuck and in my frustration I totally gave up and let it sit there, completely forgetting about it.
Then for some reason when I was talking to Ashe I happened to mention it and she wanted to see it even though I had given up on it.
Her comments were so encourageing that I got new creativity and decided to finnish it!
Although I re-did just about everything I still kept Simones face very similar to my original idΓ©a since it was the one thing I was happy with.
She is meant to resemble Ashley herself a bit, I hope this is visible
Hope you like it!
Simone belongs to ~AshleyLeopard
Havelock Vetinari belongs to Terry Pratchett

The colors go nicely together and Vetinari is one of my fav characters. I'm a litte confused with the skintone at the hands, which seems to be more reddish there than the skintones in the faces and breat region ^^.

Sometimes, a bit of throwdown is all you need...

Would then rich, educated bachelor make a differebce?

Well, it's hard to like someone mean, wealth, education, looks aside. A bad attitude sours everything else.
But I'm attracted to power and men who have life together. So I'd prefer educated/single/not a jerk.

Power and togetherness are odd terms to me, and situational too. there are 'captains of industry' that will turn to jelly when a gun is leveled on their bellys. Then there are hardened criminals that fall apart speaking in front of a group. Not that they aren't powerful in their own enviroment, but taken out of it they can give quite an opposite impression.
Nietzsche spoke of his three most powerful types: priests, artists and philosophers. But who would buy that today?
But I guess it's a subjective impression that matters.
Life can be so fragile at times that I always look with suspicion on the '

Powerful to me, I mean more like...businessman powerful. I've always been attracted to that type of man so I think I equate power with business, or something weird. But never illegal power, that's not a turn on for me.
Where was I going with this? XD;
π: 0 β©: 1
That's not so weird...it's fairly common. It has a lot to do with one's experience, I think, especially in childhood. I'm not fond of business people, and learned to disrespect them at an early age. Nothing to do withh sex, but what I do admire is talent, even when I don't necessarily like the talented person, or their occupation.
One kind of power I do enjoy is hurricanes, and p0werful wind and storms. They make me, and I don't know why, feel relaxed and powerful. But that's not exactly people.
People, I don't like aggressive, or people trying to exert power over me in any way. So almost all my life when someone said to go this way I went that way.
Just exploring myself through this topic, so please forgive me! When I encounter irresistable force, I tend to become a an immovable object.

Power is a strange thing. I think I rebel in a way because people have tried to hold power over me my entire life so I try to use it against them (that sounded more ominous than it was actually intended). I also consider myself powerful, not business wise but strength-of-character-wise, so I like to see that in other people. I hate to see men be abusive and I hate to see them back down at the same time.
π: 0 β©: 1
I tend to see agression as abusive by it's very nature. To back down invites more agression becaUSE IT'S ABOUT DOMINANCE. i (Caps lock) don't want to dominate anyone, and I most certainly don't like being dominated.
What you said isn't ominous...it's good. In a sense you have to dominate the agressor, one way or another, and have them back down, or at least look for easier prey. How that is accomplished is situational. There's opeople who want to dominate physically, emotionally, and/or intellectualy...in any case being 'ominous' could inspire fear, which is one good tool for turning the tables on the dominator. Just make them go away. Most people are subject to fear, even when they think they aren't.

That whole thing was just *really* well-said!

Perhaps, but it's a shame things have to be that way sometimes.

The expression, added to the exotic white hair and impressive dress make Simone look absolutely stunning (and incredibly seductive). Makes me wonder why Vetinari looks so bored
Love the pearls, especially around her neck, as well as the way they come towards the viewer.

Yay! Then it sounds like I managed to pull her character off!
The reason for Vetinari looking bored is that I tried really hard not to make him took angry or threatening. And so I tried too much and totally numbed his expression
I need to practice drawing men more. I can't seem to draw a man without making him look full of rage or completely emotionless.
Probably something I should talk to a therapist about
π: 0 β©: 1
Err... yeah. Maybe.
Or maybe your therapist will just tell you to practice more
My males tend to look generic. I think it's mostly because there's only so much you can do with male hairstyles and clothing. Drawing women is way more fun

I'm not very used to drawing couples, it was a fun challenge!

Ho. Ly. God.
This is gorgeous, girl! I want to go on and on about it but my comments can't do it justice.
Simone looks gorgeous, for one. Her dress is amazing and I love the little beads, they look like they glow! I also see my green eyes, you sly vixen. ;D
The people in the background are such an amazing detail. And of course, Vetinari is handsome.
I'm so lucky you did this for me! I hope my part of the swap is as fabulous.

It makes me so happy you like it! I am really glad that I didn't give up on it, and I learned alot!
Thank you so much for all of your support and friendship and inspiration!
Don't worry, I KNOW it will be! *loves back*

I'm in the planning stage! I got the box to where I want it (mostly) so now I'm getting permission to use the artwork.
(I'm behind where I said I'd be. :3)
