So, this is me going slowly through your gallery and leaving behind me a trail of comments which has been postponed for WAY too long.
Anyhoo, I'll start out with this one because, simply put, this is amazing!
There's something so ridiculously appealing about this piece. I think it's how relaxed the setting is; just two buddies chilling, reading and sharing some subtle moments of tranquillity that we so rarely see, especially in drawings and movies, probably because it isn't as 'exciting' as angst and drama. But I freaking love it. The shades are INCREDIBLE and I love the warm colouring you've used; I really feel like it takes place during a cold winter-night, with people staying inside to avoid the chill. The details in this piece are mind-blowing and I can't get over how much energy you must have put into every little thing; the scribbles, the notes, the illustration in the book, the title of the book, the photo of (what I assume to be) Ratigan.
The fact that the fellow has thrown off his shoes and they are lying there, casually, on the floor is just perfect. Birdie is so stunning, as always, but there is something incredibly appealing about her sitting there on the floor, sharing some lovely moments, and she is looking more radiant than I have ever seen her. Gosh, excited Birdie is the cutest thing ever.
I'm just so fucking impressed and I just plain LOVE IT!

Ah I always enjoy your trail of comments <3
When Johnny-Ether commissioned this scene, I was so thrilled that someone would pay money to see their OC interact with mine.
And hell, they fit together really well! They'd get along totally and invade Basil's house just to read books.
The thing that challenged me the most was drawing Basil's living room with fire place. Meaning I'd pay attention to the shading and light source even more.
But in the end it was so much fun, and I was actually sad to see I finished it, knowing that I couldn't work further on it.
But then I was so thrilled to share it!
Thank you dear <3

Yara: 'Hang In There'. You said it, kitty. (She frowns leaning forward to read.) Copyright. 1988? Hmm. Determined or not, that cat must be long dead. Well, that's depressing.

Dead cats are the most depressing thing there is

True.

(Vanessa has her own cat but instead of calling it 'Pussy-cat' she calls it something else. And sometimes King calls it that too)
King: Well, now that we've got that settled, can we get on? I've got to get home, if Vanessa's Pussy isn't attended to by 8 O'Clock. I'll be stroking it for the rest of the evening to calm it down!
