fanart, Bob (Dresden Files bookverse)

Fandom: Dresden Files bookverse
Characters/Pairings: Bob
Rating: G
Media used: pencil drawing, then inked, colored and various digital effects/textures added with Wacom tablet and GIMP
Warnings: None
Notes: I based it on a description from chapter six of Proven Guilty: "Other books, notebooks, envelopes, paper bags, pencils, and apparently random objects of many kinds crowd each other for space on the shelves--all except for one plain, homemade wooden shelf, which held only candles at either end, four romance novels, a Victoria's Secret catalog, and a bleached human skull." I used an actual Victoria's Secret catalog cover to base my drawing of that catalog on and referenced bits from a couple of other photos via a google image search but only the catalog cover is directly traced as a whole, though the skull is close to this skull image. Oh and the Harlequin romance titles are real too, though I can't actually remember whether I matched the right authors with their titles as I created the book spines.

If you want to look at it in the original size I created it, I uploaded the high resolution picture, but that is really large, i.e. 300dpi at DIN A4 size version, 1325kb.


ETA: I have written some commentary on how I've drawn this picture.

It's great!

Granted, I'm not much of an art critic, but I enjoy the suggestion of both lechery and squishy-softness--as if Bob might've asked to be placed there, for the view.

I can't draw at all, so I'm always amazed when anyone else can. The only images I can produce are by rubbing words together.
