I just started watching Roswell - perfect lyrics for Michael and Alex! Love their expressions, and the sepia tones - very nice!

[undergrounding]

I hope you’re enjoying it! Malex hit me like a truck.
Thank you!

I really like this.

What’s on the table?

[undergrounding]

Thanks!

It’s part of an alien ship. On the show, it’s this organic, lumpy mass of translucent glass. Mostly I just focused on showing a piece missing without getting too bogged down by it.

I don't know this show but your drawing is so full of character! I love their expressions and the guy on the right's wonderful curly hair.

[undergrounding]

Thank you! He does have fun hair to draw. :D

Oh my wow, that song transports my heart, and this is such a beautiful illustration both for it and for these boys!

[undergrounding]

Thank you so much! <3
Luckily, these boys are so amazing, it's hard to screw them up LOL

[adafrog]

Looks good.

[undergrounding]

Thanks!

[goss]

Great drawing! Love the composition with all the geometric shapes and sepia tones, and especially the guy with the curly hair. I am kind of curious about the show now...

Will be adding a "Roswell" fandom tag to the community.

Thank you!

It's an addictive show—right from the pilot. Worth watching.

[undergrounding]

Wanted to update the RNM rec: The finale was not good, IMHO, and it torpedoed all the best parts of the show. It's like the showrunner saw happy people and deliberately went out of their way to cause pain. (And did it with poor craftsmanship.) I'm pulling my rec. And probably won't draw these guys again, which breaks my heart.

[mific]

Aw damn showrunners. Breaking fans’ hearts and pissing them off since media were invented!

[undergrounding]

Yeah, if only they would do it competently, so at least a fraction of trust was left behind. *shakes head*
