Description holy shittt i worked on this for a long time. usually i have the patience of a 4 year old. the sad part is i can see soooo many flaws now ];

um, i learned a lot about digital painting while working on this, i'm satisfied with how my skills have improved. the problem with that is how much i learned while toiling over andrew (right) who proved to be a problem, thus requiring a lot of patience. and so i'm not completely pleased with christian anymore >:

anyway, hours and hours was put into this because i'm insane. the background is kinda half-assed, but it's the best i'm gonna do for now haha (it's an improvement over my usual.)

so anyway, these lovely boys, they belong to =likesummer and myself, respectively. that girl is an inspiration to me, srsly. ily! <3

btw, if you're wondering why they're all beaten up and bloody, idk. it was cassie's request lolol. my guess is either a: they did it to eachother or b: ZOMBIES

I think those hours were well spent. I'm voting that they beat each other up, *laugh* Christian actually looks a bit pissed off still, like maybe he's think 'can't believe you actually hit me.'

The colouuuuurs love them !
And I like the not finished background the two characters are the focus, not the bg, after all, and I like simple bg like that
Great job !
