Part of my BACKLOG OF DOOM, originally commissioned at Anthrocon in 2012, but spent a year in limbo waiting for model sheets and what was wanted out of the characters FOR the commission, until this scene and a different character was decided upon!
There's a story behind this, and it's a cute one, but that's up to the folks this was done for to share, i suppose! And share it indeed they do: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/143...../#cid:86920352

Goofy giggly relationship stuff. Basically, my Mouse is a gardener, but I'm not much of an outdoors person, which she understands. So one spring day, she put out a chair from her garage, and put this tacky animal print sheet over it so I could join her while she worked. That quickly became my "throne". She also had a garden decoration with a golden top she'd made, so she dug that out and it became my "scepter". It was too absurd to forget.
The fun thing with expressions is their meaning wildly changes depending the context of the scene. Also tends to vary wildly based on body language.
Reason I took it that way was due to how scrunched up he looked in the chair, legs clenched tight together, feet hardly touching the ground, back very straight and pressing heavily into the cushioning. Having been a high country trail guide for the BSA while I was growing up you saw that kind of expression frequently. It almost universally translated to "Ohgod nature is touching me! Ahhhhh!!!" and was often the cause of much laughter and storytelling among the rest of the guides. Favorite memory went to an inner city kid who packed in an ancient military cot and then started screaming his lungs out at about 4:00 a.m. because he'd seen a centipede, it had crawled under his cot, and he was too afraid to shoo it out the tent door. Fairly certain if he squeezed into the metal cot frame any harder it would have warped.
.... again, used to see that expression a lot. Good memories
