Markus 'Rat' Rathbone on guitar...
Dec. 1st, 2007 12:25 amThis still counts as November 30th damnit, just because I wanted to get in my Ratalicious twofer under the deadline for NaCreWHAMMO! Therefore I declare this an extension of November, and all time and reality shall bend to my will. Muahahahahaha!
I'm not sure why I've had Rat on the brain today, but why fight it. I know I would've gone insane from the pressure if I'd tried to do the Promptvember thing on DM, but inspiration struck and I got Morri's okay for some interesting plot ideas, so here's a little drabble thing on Rat's journal. For Dark City people, yes this is canon for him. There's greater implications at work here that may not be immediately obvious, but they'll show up eventually.
November Reminiscence
For those less interested in an inexplicable piece of writing, there's an inexplicable drawing. It came up in household conversation and Bridgie insisted a picture must be drawn, and it sounds like we might be doing a belated Thanksgiving RP, so here you have the scene that simply must be. I think Rat and JThorn would get along pretty well. Rat can put anybody at ease with a smile and a song, and they've both been on the streets and won't feel any kind of social class awkwardness with each other. Plus they have the same hat. That last part is coincidence, really. Anyways, here's the boys chilling on the porch and sharing a cigarette. Laugh at Rat's mismatched dweeby shoes! The only thing that gets me is the height disparity should probably be even bigger. There's something funny about all this since Rat is based off Thorn-mun in a lot of ways...
( Picture under the cut )
Anyway, I stayed up late just to finish inking the damn thing. I do want to put in the rest of the porch and stuff eventually, but it's one in the AM now... so I'll bid November goodbye.
ETA: I feel compelled to add that I can in fact draw people with cheekbones that would not impale somebody, they just happen to both have that kind of face. JThorn looked much better pudgy, if you ask me.
