Description A portrait of lovers.
Traditional and formal looking.

I think its sweet, but maybe they should have smiled more *haha*
But its an old piece and I don't feel like redoing it. Took quite a bit of tine to get it just so.

I can almost see their personalities from here. I wouldn't have had them smile more because their clothes and expressions together make them look more sophisticated, and their relationship more complicated. The guy in the foreground appears more stern, serious, feet-on-the-ground while the man behind him looks kind of cheeky, like he's about to shove his hand down his lover's pants. I luvvit.

I really like this drawing cause you're characters don't look cartoony at all. I often get that feeling when an artist tries to draw people as perfect as he can imagine them. These two look so .. real. Almost as if you used pictures (or models) to draw them.

Interesting that you've pictured a gay couple from -what looks like- a hundred years ago. Cause of course there were gay couples then but they weren't likely to have their portrait drawn togehter now would they ? I guess it's easier for us gays now. Can't imagine the life these two were forced to live...

Anyways .. very good work. Keep 'em coming !

Glad you like these 2 guys

I s'pose their story would be tougher ... but if this were in the past; then they probably had it as good as it got. If they wouldt know things could get better. they probably thought they had the best already

Give 'em neat clothes, a room of their own, and just watch them walk around and be pretty lovers!

...that's what I'd do with 'em. And possibly write up some hot fan-ficion too. Most likely involving adventure, treasures and lots of cool comments.

They look very good together. Very...emotional, despite the sort of static pose. And they're good looking, of course. *le sigh* Can I have them?

Before I relinquish them over to you ... what are you going to do with them ?

EEEEEEK! Johnny Depp and Matt Damon!!!

I decided to comment this last amongst the 4 deviations u submitted. I find portraits like this captures a more longing sense of affection compared to most other portraits of couples. It shows as though this couple has been together for quite a long time to know that smiles alone isn't the fundamentals of a relationship but also the bonding and understanding of each other.. The fact that Damon here is leaning on to Depp, and the part where he only holds a finger than the hand, shows a more subtle yet profounding sense of love.. that they've reached the point where they know every little bits and pieces of what they do measures up to their relationship... Besides, most new relationships would show a HUGE amount of public display of affections, yet this one... even the slightest display of affection, shows they are not shy of each other anymore, but rather shares a deep sense of faith, hope, trust, care, understanding, respect... and most of all.. love..

I think i'm being sentimental this morning.. EeeeK! hehehehehe! I love this piece.. though not as much as I love you!

Very nice, I like their subtle expressions and relaxed demeanor. They both have wonderful faces, and I love the dark shading/coloring on the jackets

thanks you

Makes me wonder if I can still render that way with markers, since this piece is at least more than a year old I believe. *sigh*

It makes me think of "My Own Private Idaho". Looks a little like Keanu and River. Great technique
