Ahhhhhhh this is so lovely. :D Such vibrant colours yet with soft feeling. Gosh. I love the emotions on their faces!

Thank you Flaily, I tend to love bright colors when I can do them. :)

Oh! These are lovely!! The colour is extraordinary and I love the soft feel of your drawing. I love the way the boys are all nuzzly in the second piece but (and I know this is weird of me) I really love the way you've done their feet! The way their toes are flaring...

Ha, well I love doing feet and hands! Thank you Nightfox!

Oh WOW! This is so lovely!

I am all squeeful! It's utter perfection!

I love the soft coloring style. Great lighting and shadow effects in the first panel and poor Merlin looks like a drowned rat XD The second is so sweet and romantic and their toes are so cute!

And you've told the story absolutely perfectly! I'm torn between wanting more and being completely satisfied by what's here! I could stare all day and still find new things to focus on <3

I do like bright colors! Thank you!

[identity profile] lullabylily.livejournal.com 2012-12-06 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Gorgeous!!! What beautiful colour and atmosphere in both of them! The first I would love to have hanging on my wall :D The second is so intimate and hot, with all the naked skin. I also love the feet!

Great coloring! I especially like Arthur's outfit in the first picture. I love how cozy and close they are in the second image. ♥

This is awesome.

Of course, I recognize the art-style :) so Cheeky is looking at you (and you know who you are) and saying: truly gorgeous work, bb! ♥

So did you guess it was me? Of course you did. Thank you!

Oh my God, this is so charming!! I really love their feet and toes, is that silly? And both landscapes - the rain-soaked street and the night cityscape are just beautiful settings. Great colour work as well. Really, really sweet. Well done!

Thank you Alby!

Love the environment work in the first piece. You've nailed that rain and reflections! And the city lights! And the second one is nice and warm fuzzies! Well done!

Love the colors and the emotion. Them twined around each other. :DDD

[identity profile] disco-mouse.livejournal.com 2013-01-08 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I get carried away with bright colors sometimes. :)

[identity profile] nympha-alba.livejournal.com 2012-12-09 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Love the vibrant colours, the reflections in the wet pavement, and aww, their toes!
(More colour than you usually use, I think...?)

[identity profile] disco-mouse.livejournal.com 2013-01-08 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, more color than usual. I've been getting carried away with it lately. Thank you!

[identity profile] fluffyllama.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, these are completely gorgeous. I especially love the rain all around them. Wonderful.

[identity profile] disco-mouse.livejournal.com 2013-01-08 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

I keep thinking of that hand game - happy llama, sad llama, mentally-confused llama, super llama, drama llama, big fat mama llama, camel, duck. Have you ever seen it?

[identity profile] fluffyllama.livejournal.com 2013-01-08 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I hadn't, but I looked it up and it explains a lot of comments I've had over the years :D The 'llama' part of my name is a reference to my job designing computer games - not sure how obscure the reference is outside of designers (it comes from Jeff Minter and Llamasoft originally) but The Sims has kept the llama in-jokes going for a long time now :-)
