(or: "The Bear and the Twink")

I REGRET NOTHING.

The French title "Fardeau agréable" is stolen from Bouguereau and means "pleasant burden". Even if Tintin and his adventures sometimes are a burden to Captain Haddock - all he wants is quiet and peace at home at Marlinspike Hall! - it is a pleasant burden he would never give up, no matter how much danger and hardship they have to endure together. That's why this is the most epic (b)romance ever :)

Tintin and Haddock belong to Moulinsart/Hergé.

This blows me away, how someone can create such detailed art based off of a comic or movie. Absolutely stunning

This is *completely* adorable and very funny; the fact that you 'Bougereau-ized' Tintin is wonderful in itself, but the symbolism (and undertones) you chose enrich the work all the more. (I love Tintin's wry, skeptical, mildly smug expression, and the serene, smiling patience of Captain Haddock.) Wonderful.

I like the rings, the symbolism you use for their partnership and devotion. I love the Pleasant Burden information you give and the look on their face shows there is no place that either one would rather be. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of the world!

Here's a piece of music I wrote most of as a song to the love they share.

Oh wow, this is fantastic!

The coloring's delightful, the characters still have their original charm and the lighting's spot-on. Great work!

Together happily ever after! That's the vision I get of their life how happy they are together.
Artists such as yourself, and other fans who see Tintin and Haddock in this light inspired me to write about Tintin past.
