Title: B&J exposed
Post by: Heather on September 17, 2004, 04:46:02 AM
Hi again... Okay, to make up for the unfortuanate mishap, and to test my site to make sure things are on the up-and-up, I'd like to share another drawing. This isn't completely finished  (I do touch ups for what seems like eternity - lol), but I thought I'd share.  :D

This is for my final in Life Drawing - we had to come up with an illustration depicting a scene featuring the human figure. ;) So, the first thing I think of is DS...of course. lol  :P  This is supposed to be Barnabas and Julia by the sea [I had to crop the picture, and the scan doesn't show the detail as good as in person, unfortunately. :( And you can't see the entire scene. B&J are walking forward; Barn's holding a towel while Julia's trying to cover herself with a barely-there cover up ;)] Let's just say I've been reading one too many pieces of suggestive fanfic lately (you know who you are...).

(http://mysite.verizon.net/vze1wxnm/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/bj123.jpg)

It's okay to guffaw...  ;D  I mean, B&J wearing hardly anything? Who woulda thunk it? Barn with washboard abs...chuckle.
And the picture evokes so many questions. What is Barn's hand doing back there; giving Julia's tush a squeeze, perhaps? Is she running away from the situation or leading him somewhere? What were they doing anyway, etc...??  ;)

Hey...stop staring at their snugly-fit swimwear!

No wait - I'll join you...  ;D

LMAO, Tripwire!  No, no...DO continue...  ;D

Gee - thanks guys. I expected everyone to just shake their heads at that one.  ::) I put my heart into it but...well, saying that I'm super self-critical is putting it lightly.   :-X

Well, the draftsmanship alone is superb.  You deserve an A just for that.

FWIW, there is a photo of Jonathan Frid wearing a tight pair of bathing trunks, with Louis Edmonds on the beach.  It's in Craig Hamrick's biography of Louis, BIG LOU.  Looks as if it dates to around 1968-69. Those trunks show that a coffin in the basement wasn't the only substantial secret dear Barnabas kept tucked away at the Old House.

Wonderful drawing Heather!  Exceptional detail. Julia looks like a pretty happy beach bunny and I don't think it's because Barn is putting Hawaiian Tropic on her back.  Of course, with her sad track record with him that might just be enough to light her fire. ;D

I think I may have to look into some of that fan fic  ;)

Fab portrait.  You are very talented and I love the way you draw the textures.

BTW, I've seen the aforementioned snapshot of the bathing beauties Jonathan (oh, he looked *hot*) & Lou (lookin' good too) and you did a v. good job of capturing Barn's physique. Maybe you took a bit of artistic license with the abs (nothing wrong in that, rowwrrr), but overall that's pretty much how he looked in the snap.

Like Gerald, I too am drawn toward "From Here to Eternity", and I'm a jealous as can be for you.  First of all B&J and then, to make matters worst, "Jenning the Lusty Vampire.  I almost wet my pants!  A+++++
