Fanart for concupiscence66's "Let The Good Times Roll"

[karneol-vision.livejournal.com]

Hello community, I’m Jo and this is my first post here. I’ve been reading through the fandom for a couple of months now, ever since I discovered The Mighty Boosh, and have made my path through most of what is in any way connected to it and its creators. I’m still catching up. To say that I have been entirely mesmerized and thrilled by these fandoms and the fanfiction and fabulous art I’ve read/seen here so far, would be the understatement of the century. Frankly, I can’t remember being so in love with anything for a long long while. Thank you greatly.

For some time I’ve been drawing amongst others (sort of) illustrations for concupiscence66's amazing series Let The Good Times Roll, mostly so I don’t have to show too much of my inability to comment, lol. And since there are four pictures now, I thought I may just as well post them here. (And because I was told it would be OK. If it is not, I blame you who told me. You know who you are…) Apologies to everybody who’s already seen the following!

Pairing or Characters: Howard/Vince, Howard & Vince
Rating: G and PG, except for 'Embracing water' that has nonsexual nudity and would be about R.
Disclaimer: I don’t own anybody and anything, not even the ideas for these drawings.

Author’s Notes: As stated above these are more than just inspired by concupiscence66's wonderful story that I'm sure everyone's familiar with.
And I am so unspeakably grateful for the feedback and support I received from you people who have seen this, although I have proven myself as a horribly inept replier and commentator. I stare at the feedback and read and I'm delighted to squeeing by it.... it's just that I don't know what to say to it. And the same goes for fics... I swear I'll work on that though :)

"... when that's where you left your heart..."  (chapter 18)

Laissez les bons temps rouler!   (chapter 20)

"You don't understand"  (chapter 21)

Embracing water   (chapter 23)

[Sorry, this has turned out longer than I expected. Please tell me if you'd like me to put it all under a cut or something... :///]

Ok, I've seen them before but I'll comment again because you are an immensely talented artist and I'm glad you picked this comm to share your talent with. The newest is just gorgeous. You've done such a good job at capturing the mood (you can tell I'm no artist).

I'm so happy to see you posted! I am less happy that I am sitting in a parking lot in tears when I really need to get back to work. You really have a gift for putting so much pain in an image. I can't stop thinking about Vince's eyes. My heart is in pieces.

I want to leave you individual and more specific comments on each piece, but I just wanted to leave this here to say: welcome to the Haven, and I'm so glad you've decided to post your beautiful work here! Your illustrations are always so gorgeous and moving--you get the mood of the scene and the characters just right, and it's reflected out into the entire picture as a whole, which is a true talent. It's like magic! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. &hearts

Welcome on board, and thanks for posting your beautiful pictures here. They are all wonderful interpretations of the story and full of insight and emotion... I love them all but especially 'Laissez les bons temps rouler', which I really want to print out at poster size and have on my office wall to cheer me up whenever things are grey!
