Physiognomy and Subconscious Associations II

[tealin]

Observation of the day:

I've been trying to draw 'Johnny' (Shufti's 'fiancée' from Monstrous Regiment). Today I realised I've been edging him towards looking like a guy at work. Never ask me to draw you, because you never know who you might end up cast as ...

EDIT: I think I may have been misleading: people end up as character designs subconsciously! Subconsciously!!

I'm pretty sure I based my Arthur Weasley on you. You were one of the people I met either shortly before or shortly after I first read Harry Potter who made it into my mental cast.

Now I can consider myself cool

Really?? No way! Now I have to look at the drawing again...urk...how far back do I have to go in your journal to find it? Well, I'll find it regardless...

Uhhh... look on my page. I think I've only done two, and the better-one-by-far is in the Azkaban Project. He's evolved a bit and of course I had to age him up but I definitely think you were the starting place.

And two and a half hours later...

OK, I actually found "my" picture (I love it! It's like me...only with more hair! And a chin! I'm so honored) right away (thanks for the tip), but it seemed like as good of an excuse as any (besides avoiding work) to go back through ALL your Potter art again...and some of the Discworld stuff...and the Master and Commander page...unfortunately it would take much MORE than a couple of hours to adequately express my admiration, and enthuse about what I love about each drawing, so maybe you can wait until I can go through these with you in person at some point, because I can talk a lot faster (if not as thoughtfully or precisely) than I type. You are awesome (in case you forgot).
