Random Lazuli-ness
Because Y!Gallery is inspiring. Because I love Lazuli's profile. Because I wanted to draw something that conveyed the feeling of just a little naughtiness without actually showing anything inappropriate at all.
It struck me when I started doodling on this that my first instinctive choice of basic background color when drawing Lazuli is a dusky lavederish hue of evening blue. I think I've used it on almost all his pictures.
So on this one I decided to head straight for the opposite direction and go with the warm colors of sunset instead; using peach-golden highlights on his hair while still trying to maintain a feeling of dark midnight blue.
... and exactly what Rion is doing out of frame to induce that dreamy smile right there is anyone's guess. X)
