This is looking great, I can already see the influence that tutorial had on your work =D
Very cute piece! You posed this one pretty well, I'd say. There's definitely room for improvement in the posing itself though, but drawing two characters interacting can be tough >_<';
Your proportions are looking pretty nice, I'd say the next step would be either general anatomy or shading techniques.

But you're showing a lot of promise, I'm honestly impressed =3

Thank you! :D now thats a compliment.

I have to say, as i was finishing it off i thought the pose looked a bit off, and im not a fan of Loki's right arm either. But, if I now focus on the rest of the body, i should be able to get it down.

Thanks again though man. The tutorial helped in ways you cannot imagine.

Indeed. And if you can find anatomical references (muscle diagrams, boring as those sound), those help a lot. Having a good idea of how muscle structure looks will help dramatically with the way you tone your bodies and limbs. And if you study skeletal structure, it works wonders with your frameworks. It helps you get proportions down better, and it also helps you understand where joints are and such. I use books mainly, but you can probably find all of these things online if you search for them =3

And again, good job. I couldn't have asked for a better student =D

Hahaha xP

I would like to work on the different types of body. When i get to doing less covered stuff - ie topless, etc, itll be important for these two cus Loki's slightly better built than Vince muscularly.

Is that a word? XD

Whether it is or not, I understand the context xD

I might be able to show you how I do things for bodies, I suppose? But a lot of it just comes from an understanding of the human body itself (I'm a bit of an anatomy student). Did you want to see the way I sketch bodies or something? The main thing I can really teach at all though is just the front of torso's, shoulders and (much to my chagrin) butts xD

Nono, youve done too much for me already...

Unless you want to. :3

If it helps you, I'd love to do it =3

I'm here to teach you, after all xD

Ahhh, go on then. :3 thank you man.

No problem, I'll try to get it done sometime this week =3

Ill have my end of our trade up by Sunday too. I look forward to doodling you. X3

Alright, awesome. Be as creative as you want with it as well, make the pose fun for you to draw, add in objects if you want =3

What kinda stuff does Lynex get up to?

Pg-13, of course. X3

He enjoys playing guitar shirtless. And in ripped jeans xD

HE PLAYS GUITAR?! OMG I WANT TO DRAW HIM AND RJ DOING A DUET AAAAAAGH

*foams at the mouth*

DO EEEEET

YEEESSSSSSSSSS

Loki's taller than Vince, I did not know that...

No? Ive always had it that he was a bit taller. Then again Ive never drawn them at this close proximity before, only in portrait view, so i can see where your coming from.

Bet you never knew Loki suffers from depression and insomnia, either. :P

Nope, please tell me more, i'm curious...

Well then Ill give you a quick lowdown on Mr Smith.

Lokis depression is deeply routed in his mother issues. You see, Loki never knew his mom cus she died in a car accident whwn he was just a few months old. His older brother and sister (Brock and Sarah) had to help their Dad with everything because Lokis mom was the main source of income.
Eventually, when he was oldenough Lokis dad told him why he didnt have a mom and he took it pretty bad - he became very quiet and almost completely unresponsive. A few more years down the line, he eventually started blaming himself for ruining his siblings' childhood, despite their best efforts at assuring him otherwise. Became a bit of an emo but never went so far as to self harm.

In his later teens, Loki began to deal with it by himself and managed to come back to normality - then he started noticing guys when he was sixteen, and realised he was gay after a party where his group of friends were teasing his only openly gay friend. He stood up for him, hung around after the party cus it was his house and ended up sleeping with him. This fling developed into Lokis first real relationship - the first guy hed ever said "I love you" to.

Sadly it didnt last, and the resulting trauma of losing another loved one really threw him. He developed severe insomnia - full weeks without any real sleep - and became distant.

Hes learnt to deal with it over the years, tho, and six years later he ended up in a relationship with Vince, whos been trying to help loki through it. Its under control now, but he still has days where he just fades out and goes on autopilot.


Anything else you wsnna know? :3

Aww... Poor Loki ): I want to give him a hug, what about Vince's story?

Vince is an only child, born in the Rich District to a very high flying family. He eas sgeltered from everything and hated it, and eventually resorted to teenage rebellion.
He settled down a little in his later teens, and his parents let the leash off by letting him go to public college. Here he met his first girlfriend, and the next... And the next.

To be honest, he was shit at keeping a relationship going because he never felt truely comfortable with girls. Eventually discovered that he was Bi after exhausting all his other options.

He didnt have a boyfriend until Loki tho, and Loki was his first time with a guy. After discovering that Vince hadnt come out to his parents, Loki convinced him that it would be better to tell them instead of them finding out.

Long story short, Vince hasn spoken to his parents since.

Btw, Loki is 24 and Vince is 23.

And you can hug him if you like. XD

Aww... I wanna hug them both *hugs both*

I tries to make em adorable. :P

They are both adorable

D'aaawww ^w^
