Disco queens d'un soir : Jeanne Brakmar and Harriette des Doigts !!
I mean, it would have been a shame to do nothing with the blond wig
[PRINT] - [COMMISSIONS]
Translation and explanation for the names and process below vvv
Why Jeanne Brakmar : 'Jeanne' is the feminine of Jean, and 'Brakmar' is a silly vulgar word that means "erect dick" in french slang (it sounds pretty close to Vicquemare) (and the phrase "fuck me, Jeanne brakmar" said in an heavy french accent is just too funny)
Why Harriette des doigts : It was @quijicroix 's idea ! It translates to "Harriette fingers/fingering" kgkgkgn 'du bois' and 'des doigts' are prononced nearly the same (yes the 'gts' is silent, because french is a language of clowns)
(I had an alternative name that I thought was very funny, but incomprehensible to anyone who's not french : "Comment Dom Costeau" kfknglfn is it a drag name ? Not really. But I hope the french speackers reading this will appreciate this tastefull word plays)
I think having both drag names be a dirty derivative of their name reinforce the cheap drag/first time doing drag feel of the drawing :)
It's been too long since I've drawn Disco Elysium fanart :) I really should do it more often
PS : Deso les francophones pour l'utilisation du mot brakmar tel un vieux gars de 50 ans au pmu lfkckgkglcl j'ai jamais dit j'etais pas beauf
Btw si vous avez la refs du 'disco queens d'un soir', bravo a vous, on ne récupérera jamais ces 2h30 perdus
