Description
Sometimes Meiles just likes to sit, relax, and let Yari help him detangle his hair while he listens to her talk. It is easier for her to do with her smaller fingers ^_^But uh... Yari? Learn to suck in your tummy :T
Just thought I'd practice (sort of) lineless painting again! I actually have three major influences for this picture. The main one was this picture from Grave of the Fireflies. I didn't want a gold palette though, so I picked up the overall colors from this lovely picture from Getty Images.
And also an overall inspiration from *io9 's beautfiul painting style

Oh, Yapi. This is truly one of my favorites. Your painting is beautifully done, and I am totally floored by the expressions on their faces, and the overall gentle feel of this piece. Love it, love it, love it. I can see not only the adoration that Meiles and Yari have for each other, but also how much you care about them, too. Even if you would doom them to a sad ending, with Meiles dying much sooner than Yari. Such is life, when you love a troll when you're an elf, I suppose. *romantic, dreamy sigh*

Yay thank you so much! I'm glad you like it, it's so rare that I get to paint something instead of doing my usual style ^^ And I'm so glad you could read into their expressions and emotions like that!

I think this is going to be my favorite picture of them. It's so sweet. I know Meiles has a tough exterior, but I think it really brings out the more gentler moments between them.

Haha actually I put up just the sketch! I didn't bother inking it and went straight to painting! And now it's 8 in the morning so I better get some sleep XD

ohwow! I mistook it for inked since the lines appeared sharper than your normal lineart phase :3

I love the soft backlighting on this. It gives it a real "moment" feeling. Beautifully done!

Old Meil being quiet and unaggressive is really rare.

More like abusing her occasionally gets boring, I bet.
