Description Ryuu and Yoko getting some reading in before bedtime ^^

In case you're wondering, they're reading "Flowers in the Attic". I assume this book would appeal to Ryuu as its primary protagonists are two siblings in love.

Maybe he's trying to give Yoko a hint?

The story also contains a neglecting mother and lots of abuse. All right up Ryuu's alley.

I guess in a way, this is a rework of this previous sketch:


Almost the same pose, but a different situation and angle.

I am quite fond of focusing on the humanity of characters rather than action scenes. Yoko, after all, isn't inherently evil. If she wasn't taken away when she was a baby she would have been fighting against the Foot, and consequently, Ryuu, after all.

Ryuu, on the other hand, is inherently a homicidal megalomaniac whose insanity is only being suppressed by Yoko's presence.

That said, I really should practice more action scenes. Haha!

That paints a really nice picture, despite all their dark pasts and all, that they seem to be content right there. The shading and posing is very nice, as is the detail like the back of the book.

Such suppression of evil characters is key to a good story sometimes!

Ahaha, thanks ^^ Not enough of them, though! I still feel awkward sketching out action scenes. I need to get comfortable with them.
