Of the three, I think my favorite is "Tantric," followed closely by "Trapped." And it's the color in "Tantric" that really gets to me, the way the light is radiating out from under their skin and lighting them up from within. I love the inky sweep of Bruce's hair in "Trapped," though, it's go a very organic swoop to it that feels like he's throwing back his head and spraying shadows from his hair. The moonlight windows are stunning, as is your use of lighting; the jagged lighting really reflects what's going on in Bruce's mind! But there's just something a bit more delicate and refined in "Tantric" that keeps drawing me back in for another look...

You must have read my mind here, lol. Tantric was certainly the most elaborate of the three. I also loved the sweep of dark around Bruce´s head in Trapped, it was one of those brushstrokes that just seem to happen by themselves, and I almost freaked out when I realised I had to change something about the head and was in danger of losing that shadow. Whew!
Thanks for looking closely, i appreciate it very much!

Wow. Just wow. That's about as verbose as I can get. They're beyond gorgeous.

Thank you so very, very much for sharing.

Wow! These really are incredible. Your play of light and shadow is phenominal.

I am in awe and so so so so in love with this series. Your use of shading and illumination are perfect. I mean I was looking at Trapped and leaned back (stretching out a bad back) when I noted that this position placed the pic in shadow. But in shadow I could see how you placed a halo of light around Clark’s head and Bruce, while his body is cast in darkness his face, even though turned away, is caught in the light from the window. This pic caused a trembly sweet curl of fluttery arousal to roil and curl in my belly (as well as moved me to poetry). This feeling stayed with me with each pic. With Touch the greatest point of light was the point of contact between Bruce and Clark, not Bruce’s hand but the skin on Clark’s back where he was being touched. And you continued the move in Tantra. You added the only bit of color curling out from their sexual point of contact between the two that swirled out netting them both in a web of emotions. Beautiful and evocative and arousing and lyrical and perfect. I am in guuh and awe and love with ( ... )

Awwwwwwwww! Thank you! I´m so glad I was able to move you in this way - and I hope you were able to forget the bad back for a few seconds there!
I just couldn´t resist giving Clark a moonlight halo, lol. Apart from the fact that it´s almost a standard in the old Batman comics (see icon!) Bruce and Clark´s love is so much larger than life, it needs some symbolism in the artwork!
Thank you for the feedback, I enjoy your thoughtful comments very much.
