After all my Mai-Lash art these two were kinda overdue for some attention together, huh? Thinking as such, Jules and Anna decided to commission me to do a piece of them together and I think this is one of very few pieces with the pair of them together as a couple heh. I had a hard time trying to think of a good pose. Their love affair isn't always the intense battle that some others are but it's certainly not frivolous either. I wanted something kinda casual and easy but tender with a hint of playful nature to it too to try to really show them to their truest quality. And I wanted to find a way to get Lee's hand on Etana's tail since he does seem to oh-so-love to snatch it lol!
I had some issues fussing over Lee in this one especially...his hands and head/face/expression kept irking me. Etana came pretty easy especially for only ever having drawn her once before heh! But I was glad for the overall reaction the pic received when I showed each WIP step to folk. And I'm more contented with Lee now that he's colored up. Even after fussing and fretting over their skin/fur tones more than once lol!
In the end I'm pretty happy and content as it looks like they are. hehhe. Enjoy. And get your cameras ready for when Etana tugs that fabric just a lil lower, ey? haha!
Good heavens! Get the cold water! This is really fantastic.I love how he's tugging on her tail. And He's almost expecting her to give that final tug! Great colouring and rendering of the muscles too!
