J16 – Gwen and Rafe

For XiaoCaity! Who wanted to see Gwen (her potion-crafting alchemist) alarm Rafe (cloaked man of mystery):

I think this potion likes you, Rafe.

Why? For SCIENCE. ♥

    She’s blinded me with science! :D

    Love the potion – and I love the little dirty cross hatching on her apron. :D Makes her seem earthy and down-home.

    Is that…Is that tentacle making a heart at Rafe?

  3. Iroke/b4k4-chan Says:

    This is extremely funny to me because my LARP group (my house, even) actually has a guy named Rafe who’s of the assassin type! The girl also reminds me of myself, with her geeky looks and the potionmaking (not to mention I love kraken and all that jazz <3)

    *breaks out giggling* That is just plain awesome. I am saving this. XD The look on Rafe’s face is perfect. And amazing job as usual with the detail and the super-cool background, Aja! Really brings the whole piece together! =Dd

  5. Xiao Caity Says:

    *SQUEEEEEEE!* It’s absolutely perfect! She’s just so cheerful! *hugs* And poor Rafe, long-suffering friend, er, ALLY of said cheerful nutjob.

    Rafe: Uh, Gwen… Should it be doing that?
    Gwen: Nope! Let’s see what happens when I add this!
    *five minutes later*
    Rafe: We never speak of this again.
    Gwen: But…
    Rafe: We. Never. Speak. Of. This. Again.

  6. Aja Says:

    Thank you, guys!

    @Scribbs: Mmmaaaybe? (Let’s hope that isn’t a love potion.)

    @Iroke: Oh, neat. XD Who would have guessed that assassin types and mad scientists go together so well?

    @Xiao: *snickers* I sort of want to know what happened in those five minutes — and then again, I sort of don’t. :D

  7. Xiao Caity Says:

    When I work it out, I’ll let you know. Rafe it being more reticent than usual, which is kinda scary in and of itself, considering that he’s so private he still won’t even tell me what he looks like under the hood, let alone let me see!

    Gwen: I know something you don’t know!

    Quiet you.

    XD That’s fantastic!! I’m loving everything about this pic–the off-kilter angle of the shot, the hint of wall behind Rafe, the eye contact between Rafe and the octo-crakken-critter (and the “oooh!” of that little eye itself), the potion eating through the table, and Gwen’s one braid coming undone because she’s too absorbed in her work to notice!
    They say the devil’s in the details, and that is certainly true–but that’s where the GENIUS also lies! <333

  9. Riverfox237 Says:

    @KitFang: Dang, I envy your eye for detail! I didn’t even notice that the creature’s eyeball is making eye contact with Rafe! XD No wonder he looks extra disturbed!

  10. KitFang Says:

    @Riverfox: lol Glad to be of service, guv’na! ;)

  11. Xiao Caity Says:

    I love the eye. The eye is like ‘How YOU doin’?’ and Rafe is about to bolt for the door. Or the window.
