That was quick!

A card from vandonovan and especially for me, with the guys (Jamie, the Second Doctor, Avon, and Vila) in their winter clothes standing in front of our mountains and palm trees--and there's Orac and the TARDIS on the back! And aww, Avon has his arm around Vila, who's complaining that no one listened to him when he said they'd be overdressed for NZ, but does anyone ever listen? Of course not. :-)

And what d'you mean, it doesn't look so good reduced? You're an extremely talented artist and it looks amazing.

I could tell; they're mirror images of each other. :-) They still look good though. :-)

Ahahahaa. I'm glad you think so. I was lazy. XD

BTW! A weird, random question, since babel and I spent all of "The Keeper" discussing it. I'm curious as to your answer: what color hair does Vila have?

[babel.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE SO OBSESSED.

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

I AM JUST CURIOUS WHICH OF US IS TRULY INSANE.

[babel.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's you, no matter what color his hair is. ♥

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

... you're the one who claims to think like Travis. >_>

[babel.livejournal.com]

You're the one who initiates 40 minute arguments about hair color!

(P.S. Sorry, vilakins, for bickering in your journal. He totally started it.)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I believe you. :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I think it differs by culture because some Americans think he's blond which puzzles me. I call that colour light brown. :-)

Not that that's a good icon to show that. I think I upped the contrast on it.

*punches the air*

Thank you.

[babel.livejournal.com]

I call it dirty blonde, but I don't really care that much. XD Either way, thank for making Van happy. He was being sulky.

:-D

I've been puzzled by TV series in which people with quite dark hair (to me) are referred to as blond. OTOH I call Meegat and Deva (whom you haven't met yet) fair or blond, but lots of people think they're redheads. Colour perception is a strange thing. :-P

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Meegat is blonde but I would say Deva is relatively ginger. (This may be because I've seen David Collings in other roles where he very much is ginger, like Silver in Sapphire and Steel, etc.) But I'm similar to you--I seem to see people in colors other than what other people see. For instance, I got into a similar "arguement" about Trip Tucker (from Star Trek: Enterprise), who I see as light-brown whereas other people apparently think he's blond. I don't get it.

It's just funny, though, 'cause I'd never dream someone would see Vila as blond unless they mentioned it. XD

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I've read fics (old ones) in which Vila was blond. So weird. I think I'd actually call Deva 'sandy' but that's probably a British English thing.

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Sandy is lighter to me than Deva, but you're right in that it might be a British-English thing. I wouldn't, however, call Tegan from Doctor Who red, and a lot of people do. Which baffles me, hahahah.

Blond Vila just . . . heeeeee. Maybe if he'd been on that paradise beach for a few months. XD

[kerravonsen]

Blond? How odd. He's definitely light brown.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I agree. I've some some old American B7 fics in zines in which he's described as blond though.
