Description Here's Laraine and Thanatos, enjoying each other's company and some good stories. These two are my main couple, yet I rarely draw them together. That has got to change. 

...

That being said, art can be such a struggle. This piece took me a forever, because I tend to forget why I make art. I do it for fun, because I enjoy drawing and because I enjoy telling stories.

It’s so easy to lose sight of that, to get too tangled up in how things ’should’ look or how skilled or talented you should be.

It took me a while to remember that, but here’s the finished piece finally. It’s not perfect, some bits still bother me, but it’s finished.

Drawing sweet, smitten people is pretty fun after all

Thank you for noticing the details! They do take a lot of time and effort, so hearing that someone actually sees them and likes them is very much appreciated!

This is a very interesting scene and very well drawn too.

It looks like Laraine wants to know his opinion about the story he is reading

damn gurl, this is some fine art! the colors are so dark but they feel so vibrant and the background is so interesting to look at! Man you made even paintings in the painting! this is some inception levels of fuckery! And what about the two dudes here? From her expression you can tell that she really fancies him, that handsome whippersnapper 
Excellent job, keep it up buddy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thank you so much for your kind words!  

Man those paintings almost killed me, but they were absolutely worth the trouble! They also offered a nice break, almost like I was working on another piece all of a sudden.  

Really glad to hear I nailed that smitten look, it was the most important part of this picture after all!
