The Big Comfy Couch by @jessratte (Jessica Ratté)

(Forgive the random spaces and stuff. I copy and pasted this description from deviantART and they have little icons and stuff Side 7 doesnt lol ;) )

I've been trying to draw more exciting pictures, you see.

Not too exciting, because then that might scare you, since we're not used to seeing exciting pictures from Jess.

But really just trying different things, like not making lame backgrounds, and not having my characters stand around and look at nothing. Maybe even drawing some objects in there too. Objects that they can sit on, or even throw at each other. Possibly even put on themselves. Like....hats...or...wheels or something.

(Wheels Jess? How many people do you know wear wheels?)

Wheel people.

( :iconareyoukiddingplz: )

Anyway. So, to continue on my exciting pictures, I just wanted to start drawing group pictures, because as I've probably stated before, group pictures are always somewhat more exciting than single characters (All my single characters! All my single characters! All my single characters! All my single character! PUT YOUR HANDS UP! /Jess Beyonce Fail) because...well they just are. I wanted to draw, and finish more pictures of mah boiz.... I have a lot of drawings of them, I just never get around to finishing them, because quite honestly, my pictures of my guy characters are, in my opinion, more exciting, because my guy characters are prone to doing stupider things then my female characters so thus, more thoughtful ideas can be put in thier pictures. I think the only thing that makes my female characters more exciting to the majority of DA are their boobs. Anyway.

So I saw this picture of this family sitting on a couch, looking back, so like, the back of the couch was facing you. I thought it was a cute idea and gave me some inspiration, to draw, for whatever reason, some of my guy characters in the same fashion except with stupid expressions on their faces. I decided to draw my "original four", since they are all SUPER BEST FRIENDS, and like, hang out together all the time and like like like like OMG WE'RE TOTALLY BEST FRIENDS EVER WITH A PASSION FOR FASHION! /crappy Bratz reference. Okay. Maybe not a passion for fashion. Sports maybe. Girls even. Sleeping. Eating lots of food AND NEVER GETTING FAT BECAUSE FOR SOME REALLY ANNOYING REASON GUYS CAN DO THAT AND NEVER GAIN WEIGHT.

Anyway. So here they are, Ajax, Mac, Ricky, and Rage, and...well I really don't know what they are doing. What I do know is that it's actually sort of creepy how, apparently, Mac is the only one smiling/smirking, while the others look at him rather surprised, while Ricky looks rather disgusted, which suggests to me, that Mac is probably going, "HURR GUESS WHAT I DID ON THIS COUCH GUYZ????".

Ricky will more then likely follow the way of his mother and start putting removable plastic on all the furniture in their apartment to easily dispose of evidence of what Mac likes to do on furniture (and to whom). And then fumigate the place. And somehow knock himself out so that way he somehow forgets about anything that might of happened.

Sort of a squishy couch, I know, but thats what makes it cuter. They're all like, cuddly and stuff. In a...guy sort of way. Probably laughing at each others farts and making equally disgusting sounds with other body parts. Ahhh....men. We love them, don't we?

I'm not sure who's apartment they are in, my initial thought was Mac and Rickys, hence the "browny" shades of everything because they are anal about colour coorridination (I seriously can't spell that word right now, so just ignore that.) and I figure if they were to have dark furniture they would probably have light walls. I should have put a window or something in the background. Or a tv or something. But that would mean I'd have to torture you with an inanimate object and well, we've already tortured you enough with the..."couch"..

Okay, I realize that the couch actually doesn't look like a couch, and really looks like the top of Domo kun's head ([link] ), but just pretend and amuse me, okay?

Also, the scan of this picture...is...just...AWFUL. I mean, seriously, it's REALLY REALLY REALLY AWFUL. FIRST OFF, I'm pretty damned sure that the couch doesn't look THAT BAD on the original, Mac is NOT PINK on the original, Ajax doesn't have a trail of ectoplasmic goo running across his chest, and the lines actually look much better. I don't know what the hell my scanner was doing when it scanned this. It really butchered the couch, the shading on it looks miserable on this scanned version. So yes, please ignore the scan if you can. (HURRR RHYMING!) I'll murder my scanner later.

Ricky looks like he's either going to throw up, or has gotten a root canal. Possibly both, if my suspicions about Mac and his smirking are correct. I think Rage looks the cutest here, followed by Ajax. I had some issues drawing Ricky, who for whatever reason, ALWAYS CAUSES PROBLEMS when I'm drawing group pictures, but all in all I like how this came out.

I just happen to hate the scan, and I'm sure you all do too. My scanner is an ass, and needs to have an unfortunate accident happen to it so I can dispose of it. But it just seems that I'm cursed even if I did get another scanner. Because scanners the world over have an international plot for my assassination.

But I'm ready for them.

:iconnorrisplz:

So yes, just my cute little idjutz doin' what my cute little idjutz do! (Whatever that means.) Rage, Mac, Ricky and Ajax here are all © to Jess Ratte :D
