It seems weird to classify this as adult, but technically they are having sex... it just feels so softcore and innocent though. xD

Anyway, commission for athari.

Couple things about this bug me... the mountains for one are -way- too in-focus, they should be more the colour of the sky and less defined... lots of other little things too...

But for the most part, pretty pleased with how this came out. As I should be, after spending freakin' forever on it. x3 Tried something I've been meaning to try for a while on the characters, and it worked I guess, but I don't really like it. Takes too long and would pretty much only work with white coloured characters anyway.... what can ya do.

But whatever, for the most part it's a pretty picture I think, and didn't turn out too bad, so I hope they like it and I hope you do too :3

EDIT: Oh, yeah- the mountains actually have a bit of sky above them, they're not cut off like that in the real picture. I just didn't want to have to scan in two parts and peice together, risking a big ugly scan line if I do it wrong. The scan's a little imbalanced but there's plenty of room on the real paper :P

About 100th commission I ordered. Ruaidri drew me a pair of snow leopards in their natural habitat doing what animals do on the Discovery channel. 😁

If you know only recent Ruaidri's art, you probably won't even recognize his style in this picture. You can still see a distinctive forehead-muzzle slope which he abandoned in his later art.

I think I should get a new picture from Ru. His art doesn't have to be chastity and bondage themed all the time, there's always place for something a bit more romantic. 😉 (Not that I'm complaining — I think he's one of the few artists who portrays these subjects tastefully and pleasing to eye.)
