For Iroke! Who wanted to see Gauth and Rii (her OC) having a romantic picnic/tea party while Kiku pines in the background:
Rii was a lot of fun to draw. (And I have to say, “people being cute and happy” is one of my favorite subjects.) <3
For Drake! It’s the charismatic heroine and her bodyguard (whom we’ve met before) — now in 75% less perilous circumstances:
With dragons and other distractions averted, they now have time to become better acquainted. ^^
This was a ton of fun to shade. And once again, in the course of working on it, I discovered a few new coloring tricks and techniques — including the wonders of Gradient Maps! Oh, Gradient Maps, how did I ever paint skin tones without you?
(…By the way, is this suggestive enough to be NSFW? Should I add an “implied nudity” warning? I am never sure about these things!)
…The result of playing around in Photoshop. Since there’s no built-in auto symmetry function (is there??) I recorded a custom Action as the next-best thing. Now I can erase the left half of a layer, duplicate the right half, flip the copy horizontally and merge it back down just by pressing F5. 
Very handy for character/costume design.
I have no idea who this guy is.
