Hnnngggg I really love this. <333333333333 The soft colouring, and their poses, and Sam's SMILE. So beautiful. <33333333333333333333

Thanks, cello! It's proof that it's never a bad idea to start art, because someday you might finish it!

This is sooooooo nice. I agree with Cello about the soft coloring-- it lends a very nice atmosphere to the scene. It's also a great illo for the drabble, which was pretty darn adorable to begin with!

For some reason there's something extra perfect about the way that Sam and Gene both look so content, without even being able to see each others expressions. They must be conveying a tremendous amount of emotional knowledge through touch, and that's clearly going pretty well for them. ;)

Wonderful to see some art from you, as always! <3333333

Thanks rebel! You wouldn't believe how much I adjusted the positions of their hands against Sam's body, just trying to convey that sense of comforting contact!

It's lovelyyyyy! (Sorry, I have nothing more to say)

[basaltgrrl]

Thanks for saying that, Lethe! I like hearing that it pleased you!

[talkingtothesky]

OH MY. I'm very flattered you created something SO PRETTY out of my little off-the-cuff drabble! Their faces and body language are an absolute joy. The corner of Sam's mouth and Gene's nose and his vest - all incredibly cute. It's wonderful to see new art from you, hoping it won't be the last. ♥

I've always preferred drawing happy scenes to sad scenes, because it's so fun to make them cuddle!
