Description
For something that took so long this sure is a smudgy mess. Despite the lack of focus I kinda like it anyway, you get drawn to their faces and that's all that really matters.Those who've been following me for a while might recognize Alora and Keith. Those who've been around lately might better understand if I say it's Amanda's twin brother and Lance's sister. New people... probably don't care who they are ^_^
They're my truly devoted and romantic couple and they don't get enough screentime of any kind. Unfortunately.
The title's from Savage Garden's 'Truly, Madly, Deeply'.
Specifically from this part:
I'll be your dream,
I'll be your wish,
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope,
I'll be your love,
be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath -
truly, madly, deeply, do.
I will be strong, I will be faithful.
'Cause I'm counting on a new beginning,
a reason for living,
a deeper meaning... yeah.

Oh holy moses, this is so pretty!! What struck me immediately was the real weight of Alora's legs laying over Keith's. You have that ability to give such dimension to your characters that a pencil drawing feels so REAL and provides a huge range of other sensations besides the visual -- like, for example, in that simple area of the legs piled up like that, I can feel the weight of them and hear the rustle of material against material. This whole pic is sexy, soft, and romantic. Sweet lovin' down by the fire! Or.... sofa, at least. lol
Dixey does it again!

They looks so comfortable and at ease with eachother, which really makes them even more romantic, which in turn makes me feel romantic. This may make me write.
Beautiful. The details and emotion and absolute devotion is brilliant.

Keith is a sexy beast. This looks so sweet and romantic, and you've pulled of that posing so well. It looks natural and relaxed, like they would look if people were really laying on a sofa. Usually people make it look so stiff when trying to do something like that, like the people aren't interacting well with the atmosphere. Great job

aaawwww- so cute
i love all the detail on the couch- that must've taken a long LONG time to do
i agree, you 'do' get drawn to their faces, probably because of where they are in terms of the whole image
i love the folds- they are really well done

They're so damned cute. I love how curvy she is! I'm still trying to get her to look that swankay. And they are just so in love in that classy "rose petals on the bed" type way. As always the detail is exasperatingly indepth and excellent *thumbs up*

Alora!! Yes. I've been wanting to see more of Alora. You know I have.
The expression and body language is incredible, beautiful work. So awesome!
I would recommend looking at this picture while on your dates this weekend, it may ignite something from pure visual stimulation

Just in time for Valentine's ^^ The expressions are wonderful .. so soft and tender. I think the unfocased feel just helps to get that emotion further across.

Zee perfect Valentine's pic. Very very nice. Heh. Your right.. they totally need more screen time
More fan art? perhaps.... dangerous thought, that is. Mwah ha

Awww, that's so sweet. I love their faces, and their hands (am still quite jealous at how effortless your hands look), their hair, the couch, the pose... It's all making me melt. 
And be careful with your "don't get much screentime" comments. Seems to have inspired a want to attempt even more fanart. Evil. I narrow my eyes at you.

you have been putting more and more eye candy into your drawings. this is really nice. you're really good w/ posing the body, even though you always complain about the anatomy being off.

this looks great. I love Alora's hair. the couch is really well done too, with all the details everywhere.. you amaze me. patience. that "stitching" effect would murder me violently.
it looks great. so natural and realistically positioned. awesome work.
