Life At Home With Darkharp and 'Mantis

[darkharp]

Just a little something fun I drew for TickleMantis

Enjoy!

Absolutely adorable!

I love your mischievous look in the first panel and the way your gripping the pillow in the second.

Poor Mantis, the innocent victim in your dastardly manipulations!

OMG!!! What a GREAT drawing.....that may be one of the sexiest drawings I've seen here. I would have to say there would be absolutely NO way I could resist that, especially when I knew I was being teased by a gal who loved tickling as much as I. You're a lucky bastard Tickle Mantis...a lucky bastard.LOL. Great one Harp! Good job and thanks for sharing

Haha, yes... Poor, 'Mantis... *shifty eyes*
Thank you, Jim! I had fun drawing this one, especially Mantis' face in the first panel. Makes me laugh every time now!

Aww!!! Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it
I'm always scheming ways to lure Mantis to temptation. One that never fails is: pulling the blankets up high enough that just my feet stick out. He can't resist... Heh heh.

DH and Mantis:

Sensational comic. I'm sure Mantis loved it, Dark.

The expressions are absolutely priceless. I especially like your expression on the top panel...biting the lip like that is perfect (and would be really tough to get right).

I love Mantis' expressions as well.

Wonderful job.

Oh Deet, you're such a sweetheart! Thank you so much, I love it when you give such amazing comments! Mantis did love it, and was quick to mimic the punchline!
Strangely, I have a hard time drawing someone bite their lip, so I'm glad you mentioned it! I'm thrilled that it looks believable
Thank you

Aww! Thank you so much

You're the sweetheart, DH. I love your work, and i love your sparkling personality. We're lucky to have you on this forum, being such a beam of sunlight that you are.

And I think expressions like the lip bite are incredibly difficult. A little bit off and it looks like the character is evil, or insane, or dumb-happy. Do it perfectly and you end up with a coy, shy, mischievous look. A character that's almost unsure of what they're attempting, knowing that the results might be more than they can bear. Like the look of someone popping a balloon with their own hands. Trepidation at the explosion, surrounded by a spark of pure joy. You nailed it right on the nose. At least - that's what I see with my little bandito perspective.

Look forward to seeing more from you, DH. Always.

Magnificent pictures...or may I say renditions? I've seen other drawings you've done of yourself and Mantis and the pics of Mantis appear to be roughly the same so may I hazard a guess that those are caricature renditions of the two of you. All of your artwork is astounding darkharp and I'm looking forward to your next masterpiece.

 

[Filthyweasel]

That was great. I love the initial facial expression. Very well done.

 

[Daveyboy]

Absolutely perfect drawing hun - you've done an AMAZING job in capturing both the moment and your personalities/attitudes/expressions in this piece! It's so easy to picture the real event happening

Hahaha you're such the flattery master! I'm so thankful to have met so many great friends and colleagues on this forum! I like the look of your Bandito perspective! Haha I'm glad I got it right. I'm also a big fan of the lower eyelid squint, which often depicts skepticism, a smile, or fear. I love using it in my work! Oh goodness, such tech-talk. Haha Thank you, Deet! More from me is in the works as we speak. Redheaded freckly work.

Thank you so much!!! Yes, those are caricature renditions of us both! Mantis has stayed the same, but I recently got a haircut, hence the short haired version of me You're so sweet, thank you! I'm hoping to buckle down and commit myself to more artwork.

That was great. I love the initial facial expression. Very well done.

Hehe thank you!

Hahah so easy to picture it, it almost feeeeeels real....Wait. Haha. Needless to say, after giving this piece to Mantis, I got to experience the drawing in 3D. Thank you, love!
