Hahah, oxymoroncontradictionthinglawlies.Again.... HOMG I APOLOGIZE WHOLE-HEARTEDLY FOR BEING A LAZY ASS AND PUTTING THIS THING OFF FOR.... A REALLY LONG TIME ;;;;;;; *bows some more* ._________.;;;
I just randomly started coloring this thing today after deciding to, funny thing, DOODLE something. A(nother?) attempt at cel-shading. Remember how Tori fails at life when it comes to cel-shading? Well Tori tried as best as she lets herself. It was strangely difficult to not let things blend in and be all... not cel-y. Hope I got it okay this time =___=;;;
Um... Cato and Lucien, for . She did a wonderful Squid pic for me back in the day, I hope this suffices!
Couldn't think of anything to do for the bg.... The solid colors bug me, but I really REALLY couldn't think of anything. *fails at bgs some more* D:
edit: CRAPOLA. Forgot some stuff. Ahhhh ;-; ;;;;
edit2: DAMN his arms are thin e__e;;;

Damn, they are hot! 
You did a very nice job with the anatomy and muscle structure, as well as the fall of the hair (always a plus when gravity appears to have occured to the artist). The poses are kinda restrictive and give the picture a cramped feeling, but maybe that is the impression you were going for. I like the color scheme (not too dissonant) and you did an excellent job with shadow and cell-shading. Maybe consider adding a background-it can give depth and suggest backstory (I should talk-I'm too lazy for BG half the time 
Overall: The look of the guy in the foreground makes me want him in my bed. Hell, can I just have both of them? Then I could watch them do things to each other, maybe...

Yeah, I started this pic without composition in mind, so it ended up cutting off at the end of the sketch paper. Then I had to scan it e__e; It kinda bugged me at first, but I continued with it because I was pretty satisfied with everything else. I guess I could bs and say the mood you mentioned can actually work out for my concept, which was about proximity (guy in front typically hates to be touched by anyone, so the other is particularly close to him without making any actual contact). Uhhh, and the bg... As mentioned in my description, I was having a lot of trouble with the bg; nothing relevant would come to mind, and though I really wanted to break that solid color up, but I didn't want to make some cheesy stuff, either, so I just left it alone. That field definitely isn't my forte >>;
Ah, but thank you! I appreciate the comment : D

Yeah, your mood comes out just right in this piece, now that you say that the one dude hates to be touched-he looks appropriately discomfitted. Good job!
BTW: I really do love your work-I just tend to make my comments too long/detailed/critical sometimes.

I really like the tilt on the forground characters head and also the shading on his neck....dont ask why XDD it just amazes me lol
I also love both their hair and i don't know whether its his expression or the fact that there's a guy half hidden behind him but it has a real sinister feel to it! Gorgeous pic!

Hmmm... actually, I disagree with the title, there's not ENOUGH to touch. XD lol I like the colors on this, deep and solid. Though I DO agree with the previous comment, his left hand (mirrored) seems to be going too far back as it sticks up like that, looking at it makes my wrist feel tired. Its an odd effect...
Other than that good work :3

Yeah. It's the epitomy of my laziness-- I noticed it in the doodling stages, but even after inking it and such much later, didn't do a think about it. It does bother me when I focus on it... Ehh. Maybe I'll see if I can do something about it.
And thanks!!

looks good, i like the coloring and shadeing on the bodies, only thing that kinda sets me off is the other guys hand it dosent look quite right, like the hand dosent bend that far up when your hand is that far down. other than that it looks good, keep it up ^^

Are you referring to his right hand? Cuz I totally half-assed it >>;; It's been bothering ever since I drew it like that, but didn't get around to honing in on the problem.
And thank you : D
