Description this is quite literally the first time i've drawn jthm in years.
funny it would be subtle vargas fanart. (i'm reading it again because it's updated since 2007, go figure.)

anyway this is kind of bad and i probably won't be drawing it again any time soon, or ever, so there you go.

dude i wanted to say thank you a billion times. i recently had gotten back into jthm and i found your fanart. so i was parusing your gallery like a creep and i saw all your awesome fanart for homestuck. and so i was like 'hey i should probably read that, ive been meaning to and i totally forgot!'
and it was the best decision ive ever made. homestuck is awesome and anyway i just wanted to thank you!! and this fanart for jthm is awesome and i also love vargas! <3

I like the difference in facial structure, the little lines to help shade, and especially, how you've drawn their hair. It's been awhile since I've seen these two revamped.

Oh, Nny. Looking like a wizened little horrorterrorβ™₯

Edgar does look a bit like a scrawny action-hero, though. Which... works?

JTHM really helped me through my teenage years.....

I didn't know you liked JtHM! <3
Oh Gog, I think I love you even more now.

Oh, my, Edgar looks surprisingly BAMF, but I suppose that happens when you lose your mind?

I like your style. There's a lot of detail, and it's still cartoon-ish. The hair, in particular, fascinates me.

(What's weird is that 2007 was about the time I got into JTHM for the first time, and I had this completely false notion that Vargas was a properly running story. Oh, such sadness.)

I figure it'd be something you'd have to be familiar with to see the obvious reference to it. :'B
But yeah, I forgot about the trenchcoat thing, so I stuck him in it.

Wait, Homestuck art AND JTHM? You just went up like twelve notches on the awesome belt.

Damn, it's been years since I read JTHM. 2006, actually. Crazy how fast time flies past.

I only ever read the Director's Cut, though, so I have no idea who the other character is. I think I need to fix that.

I thought Edgar was in the Director's Cut? I have no idea. *shrug*
But I have seen everything that went into the comic, so hey.

I know Devi and Mmy, and Squee, and those are really the only other recurring characters in the Director's Cut, I think.

The other character is Edgar Vargas , a character best known for a) being probably the only person Johnny kills out of pure need and b) being the fandom's favorite character for pretty much that exact reason.

The facial scarring he has in this picture is a reference to Vargas, a novel-length (and unfinished) piece of JTHM fanfiction that takes place in an alternate universe where Nny spares Edgar.

Yeah, and to add onto that, he is in the Director's Cut--volume 2, Goblins. (That's the copy I have, too.)

This is not bad at all, girl! I have seen your style for a while now, and it's always improving, I love their expressions, they fit their personalities very well.

Ah, it makes me feel nostalgic! Vargas, those were the days~

FailureAtEvil [2011-03-04 17:47:59 +0000 UTC]

Holy.. hell. . Nostalgia everywhere.
"anyway this is kind of bad" NOPE! I think you rendered them with just the right amount of f'd up (in Johnny's case at least) and originality. I remember back like 6 to 9 years ago? Being in the midst of kids riding in on the coattails of the Invader Zim.. pretty much if didn't look (baaadly) ripped from the pages of the comic itself it was some strange fandom crossovers. But then there came golden rays of awesome down from the heavens when honest talent decided JtHM needed a little love. This is easily one of those gems, please do not convince yourself otherwise. <3
