That hair is freaking fantastic!  I generally just love the design of the character as well.

I know riiight?! I just want to bury myself in the hair and live there forever.

The design is absolutely brilliant with the colours and the outfits. So much fun to draw.

I finally understood what else I like so much in this pic besides her look and grin and pose and so on. Somehow you even captured her manner to hold her back. You know, I usually stoop a little, coz never had a habit to really take care about holding my back. Just a habit, I have to think about it more, to be honest))

Haham I am really glad to hear that ^^

It's weird catching people with their right posture and attitude, despite knowing next to nothing about them. 

But I am so happy to hear that you can relate - makes this piece even more rewarding to draw ^^

You have really good developed intuition, it's priceless for an artist))

That's why I love your art - you feel those characters you draw)

Aaaaw thanks - well, I only feel for the characters because they're awesome, one way or another So it's really you guys' fault for making such great personalities for me to illustrate.

I can say the same about your Edith. She's so amazing it's impossible to leave her without attention) 

So I'm glad we please each other with sharing our OCs))

%***&%^$%^&(_)_)!!!!!&&@!!, ghhaaaaaaaaawwwwwd!!!

You are adorable, did I say this before?))

I like every detail here, everything! Even don't know what to add, I have to think for a while))

The background's colour, awww, it's one of my most favourite colours!))

You made Lexx so close to my real image)) You know, even her smile, I usually smile in that way

The only thing that is not much about me is the hand holding the pencil) I'm a lefthander, but hey, I can't say it's a mistake, so don't worry!)) Especially knowing I'm trying to train writting with my right hand))

Lexx here reminds of Jane Lane from "Daria" series, you know) And I'm fond of Jane!))

Thank you so much, dear, that means so much for me! Thousands of thanx!

I will add smth later, I think, as soon as I calm down XD

Actually, I did try and go through your drawings, trying to figure out whether you use left or right For some idea I though left (and apparently that was correct,) but I couldn't find a definite proof (I had hoped there would be you sketching in the EddiexBernhard piece, but alas )

It can be seen in the one of that comic's shots, the first shot where Bernie and Eddie seem to be unhappy with the story making her redraw it for the first time, Lexx is holding a pen in her left hand))

But I repeat, that's not a mistake at all! As soon as there is a part of truth and I really want to draw with both hands))) Yoyr work is fantastic, I will always be sure it is)))

*does a spit-take (in the most curt was possible)* woaaah! I was working on one for her too! X3 and it involves those lovely dreads too!

This is nothing short of amazin' x3
I adore cyan blues and greens.. those colors are my faaav x3 needless to say, i love the pulsating blue-greeb hues in the background! Everything.. just.. Everything about this pic! So much to love! The lose comfy, yet styling clothes you've given her! She rocks 'em ! I adore her sitting posture!! And that grin xD aah! (Was kind poking around the pic in hopes of a glimpse of that fluffy tail .. but the picture is stupendous even with it tucked away) ♡ lovely LOVELY gift ! ;u; . > u <

Aw man yeah, I tend to forget tails, for some odd reason. Which is a shame, because so much can be emoted via the position of tails. Oh well, I also forgot to add several wrist-bands, necklaces etc.

It's a new drawing-method I'm trying out, so I, apparently, went for the simple version which I often do when trying out new methods.


Anyhoo, yeah, she has an AMAZING design, right?! Dreads are so much fun to draw, and especially when colours are added. I LOVE colours - which is why I tend to harass your guys OCs, as they have a much more vibrant colour-scheme than Eddie

And Lexx here has a wonderful colour-scheme!

Heyhopperart In reply to TopHatTurtle [2014-01-14 14:13:57 +0000 UTC]

Ooh xD a new technique x3
Someone's a hella versatile! It looks greeaat! You've still beautifully communicated so much, even without the tail x3 i lurve them colors *_*

Oh yes xD i tots agree ♡ LExxie's style is so refreshing.so much admiration for traditional artists ~ oh yeah :3 those colors xD they just POP.

Ck ck ! Oh you! Eddie is no less x3 her upbeat hairdo, those lush brows, her wardrobe and them pretty seary gold eyes. ♡,♡ if THAT isn't an affectionate showcase of 'colours' .. xD then idk what is !

TopHatTurtle In reply to Heyhopperart [2014-01-15 08:46:32 +0000 UTC]

I like Eddies design, don't get me wrong But her colours are DEFINITELY subdued, which just gives me all the more joy, whenever I draw Lyn or Birdie. I can really give those gals vibrant colours and bright dresses, which absolutely would not match Edith nor her age
But yeah, the colours in this was so much fun - I fucking love colours, anything bright and explosive (which is why I really really dislike pastels)

And Lexx's style IS incredibly fun and inspiring! I adore how she keeps peoples characters true to their design, and still manages to put her own personal and very recognisable style into it.

Heyhopperart In reply to TopHatTurtle [2014-01-23 15:18:03 +0000 UTC]

I find it so respectable how you've always managed to keep ; not only character and personality; but age and class into account! it simply gives characters a much stronger overall impact! I LOVE that Eddie is older! Diggin' the way the interactions become slightly more interesting with the age dif. <3 JUST love the ride! 


thank you for your kind praises of Lyn :') Birdie is suuuch a darling OC too! I hold quite a few OCs ( yes..'course Miss Burke included <3 ) in high regard. 


Lex is as amazin' is she is sweet >u< ! The way she draws female mice is extremely distinctive and highly inspiring <3 (and her Basil fan art is absolutely adorable as well <3 )

Yeah, I only have praises to give VDupLEX - she is so generous with her drawings AND she is a kick-ass artist herself.


And you're too sweet! This is such a nice fandom, this is. Everybody's crazy-talented and being such good sports towards each other.
