Oh, man. I can practice my entire life and I'll never even get close.

Ah, don't mind me, let's talk about you and THIS. Because this, my dear friend, is amazing. Awesome, so to speak. Very, very good. I mean, the hair? Have you seen that hair? And I quite like the texture of the skin, yes yes.

Okay, I'Ve had a lot of coffee. What I'm trying to say is, the picture is great and I like it.

Oh man, now you've made me blush ::blushes:: ;D

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you liked it! The hair is one of my favorite things to do. Also, one of the quickest.

Hope the finished product will live up to your praise :D

Wow!! Gorgeous stuff!

[bdrixhaettc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Work this good deserves some serious kudos. Their expressions are, imo, spot-on characterizations (Derek's smirk/death glare and Jackson's flippant stare w/ so many emotions behind it) just pure love for this. Thank you for sharing, I'm snagging icons w/ credit, of course.

[bdrixhaettc.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply back, was home sick yesterday :(

Thank you very much for you words. They basically made my day. I'm glad you think I was able to keep them in character, that has always been my goal. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the rest this week but it looks doubtful: I have to house-sit my parents house while they go to Buenos Aires for their 45th anniversary this weekend. Good for them :D, bad for me ;)

No worries about the reply, bb, but I do hope you feel better soon.

And yes, the looks are precisely 'them' to the point it takes one's breath away. I don't mean to sound all gooey, schmoopy - sorry for that, lol :)

Congrats for your parents as that sort of anniversary is almost unheard of these days! And yes, lucky them indeed. Hope you have a wonderful weekend :)

So beautiful, I'm so glad more people share my love for this pairing. Love the lines and you got the likeness down pat. Hope to see more of it. :)
(Snagging the icons btw.)

You definitely will. This is my favorite pairing for Jackson. The potential for so much drama is just awesome.

As a side note I do like Jackson/Anyone ;D

[aron86.livejournal.com]

mmm, Jackson's useful like that, he does have angst written all over him. Besides Jackson/Derek, I'm partial to the Jackson/Danny ship (not exactly a popular one neither, sadly enough.)

This is so amazing :D Omg! My favorite part are the eyes and eyebrows and hair, and... well, everything really. It looks just like them. I'd be jealous and wish I could do this, too, but I love it too much to be so <3

[bdrixhaettc.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Derek/Jackson need all the love we can give them, right?

:D

Love! Stole an icon...;)

[bdrixhaettc.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[loustat.livejournal.com]

Hey BDR. I really love your art work and I wanted to start my own Jerek community 'cause this pairing needs the support. I was wondering, if possible, I could use your awesome art of the boys as the community's main banner with the name JEREK on it? That would be awesome if you can.. If not, I'll understand.

Thank you.

Loustat

[bdrixhaettc.livejournal.com]

Sure. Go ahead :D

Awesome!
