So, I've been meaning to draw this specific trio for a while now, and I finally did it. I was also looking for an excuse to draw Raph, one of my more underappreciated characters, and give him a touch of my modern day style since its been a while since I last drew him.

Here's the context for the piece:
Before Harley went to college and met up with his present-day friend group (Logan, Jacob, and his first boyfriend Austin), Harley was a loner back in town. He was always the easy target by his larger peers, and had a hard time getting along with people his age. Raph was the opposite, Raph was a social butterfly who could easily get along with everybody. He's also Harley's bestfriend. He was the first, and (for the longest time) the only one who knew about Harley's foot fetish. He appreciated the trust that the possum had in him, but of course since Harley was an easy target for teasing, teased the hell outta him.

And he never minded letting Harley 'indulge' with him, as long as it never got too far. ie, he'd always ask for foot massages from Harley almost everynight since working at a construction site will tire an otter out. And Harley has always been VERY quick to oblige.

Back to this piece:
My mindset for it was that Harley had invited his friends over to visit his hometown, but now that he also has a foot-teasing boyfriend, it might be too overwhelming to have Austin and Raph at the same room, at the same time, alone with him. So he tries his best to plan around seeing them individually... of course, he failed. And now they've met, and have talked, and have exchanged some 'possum stories'.

The thing that Harley tried to prevent from happening, happened anyway.

fun fact: This was Playing Possum chapter 2 :P
