3x05 Seeing is Believing | Dapper
leather bomber jacket dress shoes ray kowalski if you read this im free on Thursday night and would like to hang out. Please respond to this and then hang out with me on Thursday night when I’m free.
A scene from an imaginary naval adventure, featuring the Royal Navy officers Fraser and Kowalski and the courageous sea wolf Diefenbaker who has (again) saved the day. Wolves are very good swimmers btw, unlike Ray.
I had long planned some kind of due South Age of Sail AU picture with Fraser and RayK, just to get them into these uniforms. My original plan was, of course, to let the boys kiss (in a more tropical setting!), but the good boi Diefenbaker wanted to be in the center of things and all Fraser gets now is wolf kisses.
The uniform style is based on the later seasons of the Hornblower TV series.

Also, Happy Ray Vecchio Day! :)) (And Happy Ray Vecchio's Birthday day! :D)
I was briefly possessed by the spirit of Ray Vecchio
Due South Timestamp Roulette Challenge: Seeing is Believing (S03E05): 7, 10, 12, 14, 16, 33, 35 minutes.
One of this week's stacked rewatch episode - and actually my favorite episode of Due South. :D (I guess I made the most gifs from this particular one. ^^) This time, I skipped the classic scenes, and let the roulette decide which moments I would make gif from. Here we are! :)
@variousqueerthings pointed out that if Ray Vecchio didn't exist on a cable show, he'd probably swear blue. (And well who's to say influence doesn't extend both ways?)
PLEASE zoom into Fraser's last panel.
1x03 Manhunt | Friendship
Riding like that, completely helpless, slung over Buck's shoulder and staring down his back, I came to understand two things. One, at a certain point in life, a man's hips spread and there's nothing you can do about it. And two,
Another episode I'm crossing off my dS stacked rewatch/art challenge list with a single sketch (minute 43). Futzing around with chalk pastels again - where does the Fraserness of Fraser hide, really? In some frustrating mix of sincerity and smirk that seems impossible to capture. Maybe next time.
A side note: I really enjoyed sketching those two figures in the background. Also, they kind of look like they might be having some Tom of Finland-esque tryst going on there. Ahem.
A classic! :D

Dief is v much the elder sibling and the only person who gets to bully Fraser and judge him
