Hey there! It's been ages since I last drew or painted anything. So long, in fact, that my drawing tablet isn't even compatible with Windows 10 (or anything newer than Windows XP, for that matter). That's how old it is. So for now, it's just me and the mouse.
That said, I realized the last Tintin/Martine drawing on Tumblr is about a year old, so I figured I had to do something about it. This couple needs some love.
Tough the colors look a bit off on my phone... Learning to use Krita, perhaps I messed somewhere in the process.
Scene of a fanfic I loved writing, currently working on the second part. If you're curious.

My latest addition to my Tintin collection has just arrived!
This is the original soundtrack for Belvision Studios’ Tintin et le Temple Du Soleil (1969, Lateste). It features 4 tracks. Side 1 includes ‘Danse de Jauga’ and ‘Chanson de Zorrino’. Side 2 includes ‘Generique’ (the opening credits) and ‘Ode a la Nuit’.
The soundtrack was composed and directed by François Rauber, who would later compose Leblanc’s Tintin et le Lac aux Requins in 1972. The songs were written by famous Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel.

When the Boy Reporter was just a boy! Check the Read More for some context and headcanons.
In my timeline, Tintin was born a year into the first world war. He has no idea who his parents were, and grew up in an orphanage. I have seen fans headcanon his "actual" name to be Augustin or Valentin, with Tintin being a nickname.
He didn't have many friends, as he was picked on for being a small, effeminate redhead by his peers, and the adults around him resented him for being "difficult" and asking too many questions.
Tintin's natural curiosity and tenacity led him to deconstructing from his Catholic faith early on (in the canon comics, Tintin never prays or makes reference to God even when witnessing supernatural phenomenon or when his life is in danger, so he comes across as non religious, possibly representing Herge's own deconstruction and agnosticism.), which only contributed to him being shunned by his community. School was a deeply repressive environment; while he stops believing in God, he still internalises some unhealthy aspects of Catholicism, and has some conservative tendencies he needs to unlearn.
The Scouts become one of his outlets. Tintin learns a lot of survivalist and practical skills here. Scoutmaster Gil (an OC created by me and @josephscoat) is one of the first adults in his life to encourage his curiosity. Gil is 19 when Tintin first meets him, and has childhood memories of the war. As a child he had an accident with an explosive, so now uses a prosthetic leg. Tintin greatly admires Gil and even develops a crush on him, though he is unaware that this is what he is feeling for him!
Tintin is unfortunately viciously bullied. One of his many bullies is another boyscout called Roger (an OC created by @josephscoat), an orphan who lost his dad to the war who now lives with his aunt. Roger strives to achieve an unrealistic standard of unhealthy masculinity, believing it is his duty to protect his country. This leads to him resenting his sisters and tormenting TIntin out of homophobia. Tintin learns to fight after having to stand up to Roger and many other bullies.
The library is Tintin's other outlet. I've drawn a comic here about Tintin being a big fan of pulp adventure novels - stories of far flung places providing much needed escapism from his suffocating world. He also develops a crush on Dr Sabreur, the swashbucking hero starring in his favourite books - again, Tintin isn't fully aware of what his feelings are at the time.
Through reading, Tintin discovers his love of writing and applies to write for the school paper. Wanting to impress the editor, he goes out of his way to find the best stories, and ends up exposing local scandals, such as the local church mismanaging funds. This earns him extreme scrutiny from his school, but a conservative newspaper, Le Petit Vingtieme, notices his talents and offers him a job, the paper's editor hoping to take advantage of Tintin's naivity to groom him into a conservative pundit. Desperate to leave, Tintin takes the job and leaves his old life behind at 14, as soon as he legally could, and leaves his old name to go by his pen name instead.
