UPDATE: This line art has been partially redone due, to, uh, FAIL last time. The old version is archived at my livejournal for anyone interested in comparing the two. Main changes were in Lucci's arm.

======================================

This started out as a doodle for ~mishi that I decided I liked enough to eventually clean up. "Eventually" turned out to be "half a year later" (and posted here months after THAT) XD

I ended up actually redrawing this from scratch, since there were so many little things wrong with it, and I had a ton of fun. Damn you, ~mishi and junkeemunky , for infecting me with this 100% CRACK pairing.

Hey, so, wow, I had fun with this. I actually did most of this over the course of a single day, which is pretty quick for me! Or maybe I'm just improving/getting faster XD

I think I improved the anatomy significantly here, and I tried to mess with the positioning a little to emphasize the arching and also make Shuraiya not appear to be a foot taller >.> I particularly think both of Lucci's hands look more... coherent now, and actually positioned more the way I wanted them to be, especially the right one on Shuraiya's face, which was supposed to be more grasping/clutching than cupping. I rather like how the interesting facial angle I had tried on Lucci cleaned up. I'm never ever satisfied with expressions, and doubly never satisfied with second attempts at nailing a particular one, but while the expressions here aren't quite the same as in the original, I still like them a lot. I, uh. I'm pretty inordinately proud of the lines of Lucci's cheek and chin >.>

So dude, I totally want to colour this. >.>
