I really love his outfit and the colors in the flowers in the background. The colors just pop and catch the eye right away.

I was just glad to find those flowers. They were the perfect colors to compliment Aidan's "look" without being too girly. His outfit design was tricky to think up; I was trying to mix Russian czar attire from the early 1900s with (wealthy) Victorian boy's clothing Still, in some ways, this is my favorite piece of the flower trio pictures (though Adara's is still my ultimate favorite).

I agree. The flowers compliment him well without looking too feminine. Actually, I noticed that about his attire: it reminded a lot of Russian czar attire. I've done quite a bit of reading about Czar Nikolai II and his family because of my Russian heritage. Russian history really fascinates me. I just didn't like that Nikolai II was anti-Semitic.

Anyway, I think you succeeded with combining those two styles of clothing. I don't blame you for liking this drawing because I really enjoy it too.

It's funny you mention Nikolai II, because I used pictures of him in particular as reference material for designing Aidan's outfits. That's cool that you read about the Czars because of your heritage. Their history certainly is fascinating (But boo Nikolai II's anit-Semitism)

That's a coincidence. I had a feeling you used images of him as a reference. Yeah, their history is VERY fascinating. (Yeah. Not cool. Anti-Semitism is never good. )

I tend to call anyone under the age of 14 a baby :3

Aww, that's cute I think Aidan might take issue with that comment, but too bad for him
