I'll draw your OC as a chicken/bird and a whole scene too! (I'm Bwwooock!)

[abigaillmartin]

Shower thoughts: Ever wonder if Wellington and Alec ever crossed paths?

[abigaillmartin]

Don’t have to draw it but it would be an interesting crossover. Old man with glasses with another old man with glasses.

[abigaillmartin]

And they happen to have their backgrounds involving chickens.

I've thought about it a lot, honestly. Not sure how a CEO and British Lord would meet realistically , unless Alec had a business meeting in England? Maybe walked into the wrong room where Wells was by mistake?

[KevinReijnders]

A CEO and a British Lord would seem like natural allies to me haha.
Lot's of Lords are CEO's or some form of business class type people these days.

Depends on how big Alec's company is I suppose.

[abigaillmartin]

Possibly lol and you’re right Wellington is a British government person. Just not a lord. Lords are nobility and they are in the House of Lords.

Wellington would be in The House of Commons if he were to speak on matters of agricultural, public health and food safety issues.

[abigaillmartin]

I researched this to the best of my ability. My fellow British Tapas users, feel free to correct me on this. I am happy to learn more!

[abigaillmartin]

Although yes I can see why he could be mistaken as a Lord. He is very posh.

And it’s Sir Charles Wellington if you don’t mind. He was knighted by Her Majesty in the early oughts for his contributions to the health and safety education things he did. And helped with improvements on the food industry in the UK.

[KevinReijnders]

You could become a Lord though, even without being a member of the classic heriditary nobility (Look at people like David Cameron for instance)

[2DLenzy]

I'm finishing up Bwok Ross, btw. Just need to draw the happy little clouds <3. You'll see it soon!

[abigaillmartin]

Oh! Really? I didn’t know that! Interesting.

How do you become a Lord without hereditary nobility?

[abigaillmartin]

Happy little flower on my happy little painting.

There are no mistakes just happy accidents.

Bob Ross is so calming.

[KevinReijnders]

You get appointed. Usually you have to be someone who has already had a history in politics (see the aforementioned former prime-minister.) or have done some notable service to the country.

Hereditary Peerage has actually been abolished in 1999.

[2DLenzy]

Here he is! Bwok Ross!

Fun fact: the entire "painting" was done on one layer to simulate real painting, which was probably not a good idea in hindsight. Not real good at landscapes, but I did my best XD

Fun fact2: I used shades of purple on a multiply layer for shading instead of greys, and it doesn't blacken everything like a tenebrism piece. Useful tip I read somewhere...

[KevinReijnders]

Yes, colored multiply layers are your friend! Never ever use black or greyscales for it!
(Well, maybe not never, there are definite uses for it. But in this specific instance, NO GREY! {Read that in an Edna Mode voice please})

[ThunderChicken]

That’s awesome! It’s almost like I’m sitting at home faking an illness so I can stay home from school and watching Bob paint those happy little trees.

I am convinced, BTW, that Bob was stoned during those paintings…

[2DLenzy]

XD I know, his face, lol! Looks like he was pecking around the cabbage patch too much!

[abigaillmartin]

Oh my gosh he’s beautiful! Yess!! YEEESSS!!! I love this so much!!!

[abigaillmartin]

What kind of stoned?

[abigaillmartin]

Never mind I know what kind of stoned. Lol
