Just Dresden and his buddies taking a night off from blowing things up.


[Edit: I cannot properly explain how excited I am about the ugliness of this couch. I will be pretty much randomly updating this file with less sloppy versions as I paint it up in stolen bouts of 30-60 minutes between work I have to do.]

Two imaginary cookies to anyone who can cite where the actual description of the couch pops up in the text (and if you do a grep-text search on the archive of all the stories….like I did….er, then you are a cheatin’ fool. And also kind of a fannerd. Can’t really hold that against you.)]

Love it.  Having "The Hobbit" is major bonus points!

I just want you to know that I have loved this picture for awhile, but I didn't have an account to tell you so. This is almost exactly how I imagine house Dresden during downtime. You even made the lighting look like there's a fire in the grate. It just makes me happy.

This is just so relaxed and peaceful and I love it. <3

This is a perfect representation of how Harry probably spend his time when he's not kicking hornet nets. Love it!

It's just a soft couch that you can sink right into.
He buys them secondhand, and doesn't care if they match.
(he decorates in textures)

That's a really large couch, to hold all three of them.Puppy or not, Mouse alone will take up an entire one.

I love this. I love everything about it, from how Harry's cuddling with Mouse and Mister, to how he fell asleep reading "The Hobbit" on the couch, to that big, orange, wonderfully ugly and soft-looking couch itself. I really hope you don't mind, but I printed this picture and taped it to a box I fashioned to hold a Christmas present for my mom. The box and present were both Dresden Files themed, and I felt that this picture showed the companionship between Harry, Mouse, and Mister perfectly.

That is so awesome!
I've seen a lot of fan art,but ... this is the first I've really liked (enough to come here and say so-lol) Fabulous

finally some well captured dresden fanart that really shows how he actually acts. This is more dresden than a lot of the (while admittedly cool) action shots of him just being a total badass. I appreciate this!

"I have one couch that is green and orange plaid, I got it for thirty bucks at a garage sale and it is so comfy its hard not to fall asleep in it. "
"Its very you."
"And this is you?"
"Yes. Or at least the persona I am trying to portray."
Turn Coat when Harry finally got into Thomas' apartment when Thomas was there after sitting down on his couch and complaining about how obnoxiously hard it was. Thomas then replying that it was more to show off how rich he was and how good taste he had then for comfort.
I think I got that right but I might have misquoted it slightly. I'm doing this from memory as my family argues around me.
I have a partial photographic memory so this surfaced as soon as I saw the couch.
:3
Love the couch and Harry! Mouse and Mister are so cute!
That was cheating though with The Hobbit cover! :) I don't blame you wit the cover or the background though! :)

Is he reading the Hobbit? That makes me really happy. xD

The one description of Harry's couch that I remember is from Turn Coat, and that was more of a comparison between Harry's cheap couch that was easy to fall asleep in and Thomas's fashionable but very uncomfortable couch.
Excellent!  Really captures the relationship between Harry, Mouse and Mister.

Nice work, don't forget the rugs, (please don't forget the rugs that should have read) he has more then one on the floor none of them match.  I pretty much thought/imaged the rugs and the couch redefined "I found it on the street" so glad I'm not the only one;

This is very nice.

So cute! And even though you think the couch is hideous... I think its fabulous!

This is just beautiful. But here's a challenge for you. Try drawing the The Walker (Not sharkface.) No one, I repeat NO ONE has.

What Dresden does between books

Very cute!!

But I call TARDIS. That's the only way Harry, Mister, AND Mouse would fit on the same couch. :D

I'm reading Turn coat and guess what I stumble upon on page 16? Harry talk about his couch, orange and green!
