:D I am so happy that you think I'm good at that! Pieces that portrait love and companionship in that way are my favourite, mostly because they seem more intimate and poignant than explicit ones. I enjoy those, too, don't get me wrong, but pieces that use... sublte (not the word I was looking for, but it's close) elements, like a particular pose or gesture, are more interesting to me because they show the undercurrent feeling without resorting to explicit pictures. Uh... sorry for the digression...

I used earth brown ink for the outlines. It's better that the fine point marker I used before because once it's dry, it won't bleed if I pass over it with watercolours or copic markers :)

I have my suspicions about that eagle tattoo on his chest... maybe that's where his wings hide....
