Reading and remembering an image (NSFW!)

[macklingirl]

I just finished Miriam Heddy's Zeno's Paradox and when I found the following scene I remembered an image I created some years ago.

The scene:

There was a sharpness to Doyle's voice, but looking again at the picture softened its cutting edge. It was a charcoal, and the lines were rough and strong. And anybody who knew him would recognise the subject was Bodie himself. Nude. Bodie tipped his head to one side and looked at Doyle over the top of the frame, comparing Ray's stoic face with the image the man had wrought. It really was beautiful. It made him look beautiful. Not young; it was him, now, looking better than he had this morning.

It had been sketched out of memory, he would have guessed. The eyebrows were sketched in to give the face an amused expression that somehow didn't seem out of place even though there wasn't anything in the picture to look amused about. Maybe he'd been having a good thought, and Ray had caught it. He shook his head and laughed. Definitely the face of a creampuff. And the body of a man who ate them. But strong. Sure. There was no trace of mockery in the image. Only love, humour, and the keen observation of someone who'd spent too many hours looking at him to be taken in by any of it.


The image:




I think it fits, what do you think?

Oh, definitely. And it makes me want to read (reread?) the story.

That's an image you have created ? How could I miss it ?
I am thinking about the creampuff thing *g*
Well done!

I'm happy you enjoyed the view. I must admit I like this drawing a lot.

Thank you for looking at and liking it. :-)

Thank you very much, I'm happy it's not only me who thinks it fits. :-)

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. Go and read it, it is nice. :-)

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's an image I created in 2018 or 2017, I'm not sure which year it was.
Well, he is a well-defined creampuff. *thinks Bodie thinks Doyle*

Thank you for the well done. :-)

Definitely fits! Thanks for posting it — it's well done. :-)

Thank you very much, I remember I struggled when I made it because the body and the face wouldn't look right and then I had the idea to make a charcoal drawing. So glad it fits. :-)

Thanks for the well done.
