sekritomgNhaingen is the best artist and from time to time she draws me pictures because I am the luckiest bitch ever. Today I was walking around an auction house thinking about how great it would be if I had my own collection of high-profile European furniture and etchings to put on sale, cultivated over a lifetime of travel thanks to my being in the right place at the right time and impeccable taste. Then I was like, oh yeah, you're a loser and you can't afford a $500,000 Constable watercolor, let alone several of them. But if the SP fandom were real life then Nhaingen pictures would be more precious than lapis lazuli and well, I'm like the goddamn Isabella d'Este of Nhaingens.
So, here is a selection of my personal collection of Nhaingen pictures. I tried to narrow it down to 10 and failed. Some of these she just sent me and some I conned her into drawing and some came from conversations we were having, but every single thing she's drawn is special to me in some way, even if it's just a sketch or it's kind of a toss-off joke.
So, I'll start it off with this:
Sekrit: Seriously though I realized Kenny's "birthday" (according to who, I don't know) is coming up, which would be the best time to post Bat Dad/Kenny porn.
Nhaingen: ... basically you have to write this story where Bat Dad has to fight Earl over Kenny's hand in buttsex
Sekrit: I think Bat Dad has to fight Kenny's seven exes (Earl, Craig, Ike, Bebe, both Red and Tall goth, and the Coon) but he gets drunk and just fights Randy Marsh instead. Kenny is dismayed that what started about him is now about yet another ancillary character.
This is a GIF that I was supposed to incorporate into a post I was writing about this pairing, and then got bored and didn't write. Honestly, I don't have a lot to say about the pairing, but this is the most adorable thing and I'm sorry it's been buried in my files for so long.
There is a long story behind this but I actually fear telling it might ruin it. The name of this picture is "The Danger Hole," though, I hope that gives it some ... curious context.
Okay, well, I am a diabetic, and often I find myself up very late at night unable to go to sleep, not because I'm not tired, but because my blood sugar is incredibly low and I have to stay up monitoring it and drinking juice before I go to bed. Usually when this happens I bitch about it and on one occasion I got this drawing. Sometimes when I'm really miserable and feeling kind of ill I just look at it and it makes me feel better. I mean, it doesn't make me better, but it's almost like having someone there.
This is the predecessor image for this picture, and the initial basis for an extremely long fic I'm in the process of writing that is a 1970s AU. (I know.) It came out of an ongoing discussion about "the most distinguished gentleman's plug in the world," Lelo's Earl. Sometimes billed as a "luxurious non-vibrating gentleman's pleasure object," the thing is basically a 24-karat gold butt plug that costs like $2000. Long story short (for real this time), the joke is that Kyle would badger Stan incessantly to get him one of these and Stan would be like "wait but I have this perfectly amazing free penis" but you know that's not good enough. Anyway, the joke Nhaingen is making here is that one of these pleasure objects looks kind of like a w3s staff, an Egyptian symbol of potency. It comes with free cufflinks!
Earlier in the year Nhaingen did a massive illustration project about octopuses and I think this was pretty necessary.
Sometimes I wonder what's supposed to go in that speech bubble, but generally, I like that it's empty, because Kyle's expression is really all you need to get what's going on here. The story behind this, I think, is some fucked-up scenario I came up with where Kyle secretly paints his nails and has an OCD habit of chipping off all the polish, because he can't go out like that. Then he puts these bits of chipped nail polish in envelopes and mails them anonymously to Stan who is like "what the hell."
This is large and really needs to be viewed in full. It's just a quick sort of scrap comic, but I think it really demonstrates how good she is at constructing a story in a very scaled back way with economy of line and so forth. There's barely anything here but you can just see everything. That last panel of Kyle and Stan is perfect characterization.
Since so much of this is jokey and/or insidery, and most of it is based on slash conventions, here's an actual illustration from the show. I usually hate how people depict Ike but Negs somehow makes him both adorable and reminiscent to his character design, with the way his whole face opens up when he grins. You can almost hear him saying "ba ba ba" and hopping up and down with a boingy sound effect.
Such an obvious joke, yet I think Negs is the only one to have ever made it. This is quite old and quick so I'm aware that it's not visually perfect, but you can see how much her manner of drawing Kyle has developed if you look at his long sort of girlish body here and, say, that very recent pasta comic above, which gives Kyle some persnickety characterization but also in any given panel presents a more fully realized person. That said, I still think this is kind of hot, because you know that they're both fully aware of how fucking dorky the premise is but are 20 seconds away from fucking away. Like, Kyle was just reading his Kindle naked in bed with his ass in the air for ... no particular reason! Right.
Also not much I add to this, except to reiterate that it's blatantly amazing. Oh, well, I guess I'd note that the balance, composition, and shading are all truly excellent, and while it's not 100 percent symmetrical, it's perfectly harmonious. Actually, I could go on about this picture for a while.
I'm not sure if she remembers drawing this one -- maybe? -- but it's actually one of my favorites because it's so incredibly different and demonstrates that she can do other styles, too.
More oldish art of my second favorite pairing from a while back.
They belong together! Sigh. Who else would indulge me in this?

Date: 2012-07-06 01:06 (UTC)"wait but I have this perfectly amazing free penis" Oh, Stan. I love Kyle's little pink shopping bag.
Kyle's face in the nail polish pic, in combination with his thighs, so perfect, yesss
Drill picture is my favorite, actually -- their expressions, everything, the sweetness, Kyle being naked, Kyle's feet, Stan's googles, everythingg
Butters fucking Craig aoijggggggggggggghh -- the expressions, everything, see I never know what to say/become not good with words. I feel like I told you a good idea for the conflict behind the holiday hair removal sequel, btw, and cannot remember it now, or possibly it was not actually good

Date: 2012-07-06 12:32 (UTC)I was so excited about this post that I sent links to some of the pics to my friend who is not even in SP fandom while chatting last night, and she agreed that they are fantastic. Here I am at work, looking at them again, penises and all.

>> I feel like I told you a good idea for the conflict behind the holiday hair removal sequel, btw, and cannot remember it now
I think you did too, and I was pretty excited to read a sequel to that fic for whatever reason. So now I might have to look around and see if I can dig it up because lord knows Stan/Kyle with Butters/Craig, especially lame Crocs-wearing Craig, fills me with perverse delight.

I know, I was trying to figure out how I would gmail search for it! It was something about Butters being insecure/there was some kind of Butters/Craig relationship crisis.
