Description
After all the pencil-only sketches I submitted over the past week I thought I might as well throw in an inked piece just to give you guys something more refined to look at.So, there you go.
That these two are by far my favourite Homestuck pairing should be no secret at all. It might have to do with the fact that I love Equius and I think having him as my zodiac patron troll is very appropriate (what with me being a sweaty long-haired freak and all).
I realised halfway through drawing this that it might be read as Equius being embarrassed at holding Nepeta's hand, so I'll make it clear that this was not my intention.
What I was trying to convey was that kind of situation where he's confidently looking forward, but that confidence is only there because he knows she's safe and protected by his side. She obviously thinks this is cute and lets him have it his way even though she's perfectly capable of fending for herself.
EDIT: ~dave-littler posted a coloured version of this. Check it out!

It's good to make Equius look muscled, but his legs and arms are way too skinny. Should be a lot bigger.

I do tend to draw very skinny characters all the time.
Then again, this is a side effect of my attempts at actually drawing Homestuck characters as thirteen-year-olds, which is something that isn't done much in the fandom outside of chibi style (which I'm not sure counts).
In the end, don't like it, don't fave it, I suppose.

I was giving a genuine critique/tip, do you really have to fall back in the DON'T LIKE DON'T LOOK dumb crap. The legs are proportionally still too small, and the torso is too muscled if you were going for a younger boy sort of look.

I know you were, I wasn't trying to come off as aggressive; I apologise if I did, though.
Quite honestly, I never really liked this sketch. It was way too rushed and I messed up a lot of details along the way. The only reason I keep it in my gallery is that Nepeta looks kinda decent.

Okay, best Equius ever. I just love all the tiny details you put into this, including the scars and the missing piece of ear.
Wish I had a tablet so I could color your works :<

Thank you ^_^
The damaged ear is there in every drawing of the character I make. The exaggerated teeth are a secondary differentiating trait for the trolls, but I don't really like drawing them so I always try to make up for that by giving each one of them rather distinctive ears.

Dang, I just looked at your previous Equius drawing and yes, the damaged ear was there.
I seriously love how you draw the trolls. You, Leppu, 021 and Tumbril are my favorite Homestuck artists ever.

Well, I don't know the other two but hell, putting me on the same level as 021 is a pretty big statement there.
