WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 37 OF THE FANFICTION STORY "CUSTODY" BY RENA REDHEAD, LOCATED HERE: [link]Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm finally done! This one was finished a lot sooner than the other one but I was a stickler and insisted to myself that they had to be uploaded together and well... that one I was painstakingly coloring in Paint so it took a while.
This be a scene from Chapter 37 of "Custody", after Robin has (finally!) been rescued from Slade's clutches by Superman, Wonder Woman, and Starfire (plus some mystery helpers) and Robin wakes up in Gotham P.D. with his head in Star's lap sprawled out across a bunch of chairs. It was SUCH a sweet, tender, poignant and beautiful little moment that I simply HAD to draw it.
Robin is a little worse for the wear, as you can imagine.
Things I love about this piece: Star's hair, especially the highlights, the pose and expressions (OMG the hands actually came out right?!), Robin's messy unkempt hair and the scratches and bruises on his face.
Things I dislike: The foreshortening on Star's legs. Blech. Foreshortening remains the bane of my existence.
Robin & Starfire (c) DC Comics

Oh! Tari! Thank you! I so love it! I really did enjoy writing that scene. After everything I put him through, I felt this chapter gave Robin a well deserved feeling of relief. To have Starfire be the first one he saw too, I think he needed that, to see the one person that loves him like she does. Anyway, seeing this totally made me go 'aw..' with happiness. So yeah, wow, thank you!!! Thank you so much!

You're welcome!
You totally know how much *I* loved that scene already so... I'll try not to bore you too much by repeating myself. It was really, really sweet. Touching and poignant and, as you said, a well deserved relief.
And you are uber welcome! It was a pleasure to do!

The hands ARE wonderful. And foreshortening is the bane of my existance too. π: 0 β©: 1
1. Hands
2. Feet
3. Foreshortening
...
The competition is fierce for #1 though.
Touching~
(Robin must think he's in heaven right now or something. 
Drawing feet gives me headaches. I never know how to do the stupid toes.
Lol, he just got rescued from his own personal version of hell (being the prisoner/apprentice of Slade) and he woke up in the arms of an angel so yeah, Robin totally think he's in heaven.
Thanks for the comment!

XD Me too! Toes are the worst. They end up looking like pebbles or something.
Especially since she's HIS angel.
