Sometimes life lack of fun, he's good at fixing it

At the right time and place, silly and comedy is the right kind of medicine to break tensions and elevate spirits.

I usually do something silly to make people laugh and it works every time :3

Haha, some people are just a natural talent at it, others not so much [I've never been].

Awww, I was warned something like this might happen but I didn't expect him to be such a dork :3
The fact that it worked on Javi and made him laugh says something too :3

Haha, dork is a perfect way to describe him here. Actually I might have gone too far. He will always remain a mature type as before but this dumb idea came to my head one day on how he could cheer Javi up that's not the typical hug or sit down and talk. Maybeeee those moments will come in the future. For now, the silly has worked haha.

Ni yo esperaba ver a Athos, que parecía maduro, hacer esas caras XD
Uffff, sigues mejorando con las expresiones y eso me encanta! Y ver a Javi sonriendo da mil años de vida <3

Aun es maduro pero este caso de Javi era serio y se requirio metodos extremos de rescate.
Es raro los dias que sonrie de verdad. Tener un lobo como Athos a lado parece ayudar. <3

Yo digo que el siguiente paso para rescate sea un abrazo bien grandote :b
Que no se vayan a separar D:

''...abrazo bien grandote'', quizas algun dia. =//)

Fucking hell, Athos is perfect. Absolute legend, complete sweetheart, and he's so goddamn cute when he smiles. I love the way you draw expressions, and he's so expressive in general. <3

I feared I might have gone a little too far maybe, but it helps ease my anxiety to read how much you love him. Thank you so much! ❤️ Silly face is not my usual thing, so that took more effort than what I'm used to haha. He will remain a mature wolfdoggo, this was just a silly idea that came to me one day and wanted to draw out.

Absolutely not, he's PERFECT. He's still got this wild, feral look to him, but he's also an absolute sweetheart when he smiles and opens up.

The expressions are seriously fantastic, you nailed it. Makes me want to try drawing goofy faces like that too!

Your comment on Athos seriously warms me up inside. Sincerely I appreciate the reassurances on my own doubts. It's even helped motivate me to finish the 3rd, final page to this.

You should try, yes! It's fun actually and gives you a good laugh although if you decide to google references for funny faces be warned it can get... disturbing so I stopped doing that. x D

The classic 😛 technique 👌

Great faces, both expression and shapes are great 👍

Javi's condition required extreme methods of mood recovery.

Thank you, Yate. Actually it was a little out of my comfort zone as I've never really done silly faces before, usually just do serious or smile as you can tell. Most likely not to be repeated any time soon but I guess I can say I tried something new.

The consistency between panels and extreme exaggerated expressions is no easy feat.
Hope you're proud of yourself 🌟

It's most definitely not easy. I tryyyyy

❤️

I love the 3D BLEH.

Thank you! = D I focused so much on it while drawing I never really noticed it at that point.

Aww...!!! Athos is so cute!!! Like Disney cute!!!

It might be a bit out of character for him so I might not go this route again but I thought it was kinda cute too, like a big silly.

I don’t know, I kinda like this dynamic. Athos basically having two personas that he lets the world see. Kinda big and intimidating on the outside, yet kind, friendly and maybe even a little goofy on the inside. Yet that too is but a mask which hides an even deeper pain. He wants friends but is also afraid of getting hurt. Which is why he will either reach out first, or keep to himself for the most part. He probably sensed Javi’s pain and decided to reach out and help a person in need, hopefully making a friend in the process.

You are writing the story better than I could! I'm trying to build a ''dynamic'' between them as you put it rather than just two random characters interacting without meaning or character growth. Javi is terribly shy and closed off to ever ask for anything much less make friends. Athos has courage yet knows pain and loneliness since childhood. So it was relatable seeing Javi always in his lonely little bubble which made him sympathize.

I don't have a whole story mapped out or anything. It's really as it goes and grows with me. It's also my way of experiencing what I never had and likely never will. Nonetheless I have more comic ideas to do after this one so I hope no one gets too tired of them just yet. Again, I loved reading your deep analysis, thank you so much!

Amazing, smile, laughter and a positive mind will help on most things, such a wonderful way to show support! :D

It's the cliche ''laughter is the best medicine'' at work!

They are so cute... :3

I had some doubts so I really appreciate all the reassurance. = D

A personal silly face maker at the gym would make things a lot less monotonous. Athos certainly has it down!

You're right. Sometimes a gym can be a bit too serious and tediously repetitive. So think personal trainer with an associate's degree as personal dork to loosen things up a little!

<//3

Aww. He's sweet.

Now draw him pregnant.

*SpitsOutSodaAMileAway*

Wha,wait who??!?!!!

Laughter is the best medicine.

Haha, I just replied to someone with that exact phrase in mind. When you're a negative like Javi it takes a positive like Athos to reach out a hand and pick them up.

these expressions are so top tier 🩵

Funny story, they kept making me laugh when drawing them, then suddenly after uploading I actually feared it was cringe and avoided looking at this again until you just commented.

oh no no, this isn't cringe at all. it's so real and endearing 💕
