It's about time I submitted something here.

This was the first Pokemon picture I actually worked hard on...it took three weeks and something upwards of 50 WIP files. And that was without the background; I only drew the characters. The background was drawn in as a gift from  Dragon-Minded, hence the watermark in the corner.

About the characters...they are a female Arcanine named Sarita and a male Absol named Zarku, and they are both characters in a Pokemon fanfic I've been writing for a while and I may or may not post here.

And yeah, I know there's supposed to be an enormous size difference between their species. For the purposes of huggability, I wrote that she was small for her species and he was large for his.

Oh, and I'd like to thank  forceswerwolf, whose art introduced me to the furry universe and I subsequently used as reference material when trying to get these two's mouths to fit together right.
