More Xylia! And this time she has a friend~
After wanting to draw her more I started talking with a friend about our Nobody OC's and from there it just kinda took off. So now these two are starting off on a wonderful friendship that looks to be turning to something more. Silly things with no hearts, even they can remember what love is. *twirls hair on finger*

My friend had a cute image of the two of them cuddled up under a tree with fireflies everywhere, and thus this was born. It was kinda funny because I'd started the sketch but had no idea for a bg, and he suggested the tree and fireflies and it all came together. :D As for the actual piece itself, oh god so happy with it. I was dicking around with my cel-shading more and used some of the same things I'd done on that picture of Frostquake and tried to incorporate them into this piece. Some things are working, some aren't, but the overall end result is much better than I'd hoped for. |D
