I do know of your Bill-adoration. :~) And I thought of you several times while drawing this - "If nutnatz likes this, then I'll know I've done a good job!" I'm so happy you liked it! XD
You thought of me while drawing this? That really makes me feel special. But I am much more happy because any recognition of Bill in fandom makes me squee.
I also notices stubble Ron. Is he a part of a larger piece? I certainly hope so. mmmmm Ron... *guh! Rupert's getting so big.
* digs mind out of gutter*
BTW. I thought you'd appreciate this. I finally watched the original Star Wars trilogy and the Indy trilogy on DVD a few weeks ago ( I know... I am very late). I completely understand the Harrison love. I always have this idea that if Bill had ever seen any of the Indy films on the muggle moving pictures, that might have inspired him to go on his treasure hunting quests.
I love Bill. I think he is my favourite Weasley after Ron. :~)
You'll find the full pic of stubbly Ron here, and the story here if you're interested.
As for the Harrison-love; I've had a 'thing' for him since I was 14, so I can safely say it's a long-term infatuation now. ;~D And, quite honestly, Empire Strikes Back and Raiders were Harrison at his most gorgeous. He's looking his age now :~( and needs to take a leaf out of Sean Connery's book and grow a beard!
Bill would have been a teen when the Indy films came out, so I'm sure they provided some inspiration. ;~) What boy wouldn't want to be Indiana Jones? XD
Oh, I had to put him in a leather jacket; I couldn't imagine Bill in anything else! (except when he's working in Egypt of course ;~) ) Glad you liked him!
I was happy with the way his freckles came out too. And it was amazing how he turned from being a nice looking man to a Weasley just by adding the freckles. (for me anyway) :~D
You have no idea how happy this made me. Seriously.
I can't check LJ at work, so nutnatz sent me the link directly to the image (hope that's OK), and I just kept it open in the background all day, and whenever someone started to aggravate me, I just took a quick peek at Bill and couldn't help smiling. I fear they thought it was drugs ;)
He's wonderful. I love the stubble...and the freckles...and how one can actually differentiate between the stubble and the freckles!
Over the years, I've given Bill's earring far more thought than is healthy, and I really like how you did it. All too often, it's so big the eye is drawn straight to it instead of his sexy face. I like how subtle and thin yours is.
And his EYES. I cannot say enough about those eyes. So I will spare you my ramblings and just say that I could stare into them for hours.
Hi. I just wanted to say "hi", as I've friended you just now. :) Also, I need to tell you that I think your art is *gorgeous*. This picture of Bill is perfect...breathtaking...extraordinary (I really could go on).
