in trying to fulfill ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
faynudibranch's request for jokes about Andrew Johnson, i started drawing a scene between James and "skin trader" MishMash. couldn't get the joke to work, but there is mention of the "fatuous sot, Andy", which i hope will do for now.
James's relationship with MishMash is an odd one (and definitely unexpected). it almost sorta makes sense why James's relationship with States Morse is so hostile when you see how he is with MishMash and the sort of resentment that gets built out from Mish's attitude and the way his rabid abolitionism colors his world. and Mish is such the sydney carter of this world. he pops in and out of people's lives somewhat bizarrely (and with none of them ever knowing about the others) and then it's to a far far better place that he goes in the end. Mish and the Tall Blond Soldier share a lot of qualities in that regard. they are probably the two characters i love most who don't have "books" of their own (and aren't getting any either, sorry guys).
in my bid to capture the family resemblance,
i made his hair too flat (it should be floofier and
less combed, i suppose), but all in all not bad
for a first attempt at a character.
working on this scene has been sorta fun. Mish's over-the-top fanaticism is refreshing in a world where everyone else seem so uncertain of what they are doing. and i forget how wonderfully nasty James can be if provoked. he definitely has his dark side. put the two together and they are a fun pair to create dialogue for. unfortunately, this scene and a scene in which ladies' underwear features prominently are the only two times we ever see them together, which is a shame.
i guess i oughta start posting these boogers instead of talking about them, huh?
