Just because I had this sudden urge to draw woobie!Rodney.






ETA: I posted this to the comm and I said in there criticisms are welcome, and I feel the need to elaborate. If you're not comfortable with giving me that openly, you can always e-mail me at steampunks at gmail dot com. If it's not from malice, you can always tell me "this sucks" variety. It will not make me stop drawing and posting at my own journal but it could make me more considerate about and possibly stop posting at the comm, I guess.

This is interesting, because it's definitely Rodney, but a very young one. I can't pinpoint why, but there's something about the spacing of his facial features* that does it for me.

The reason it's interesting to me is that this is exactly how the young Rodney in my head looks. I can't imagine a young Rodney who looks anything like a young Hewlett, but this is him.

*On second thought, and comparing it to the icons here, I think his eyes are too far apart.

Thank you for letting me know what you think. I totally admit he looks younger. Actually it's almost inevitable for me, because I'm not sure I'll ever be able to draw major character on the show and make her/him look like their own age. It's very interesting that you mentioned the distance between his eyes is too far, because I know I have a bad habit of drawing them too far away, and I actually redrew it to make it shorter in this particular picture. Maybe it wasn't enough. *g*

I'm taking that as a huge compliment. I'm thrilled.
