#53 - Valentine

Draw or write about your character surprising another character with a valentine gift. Is it a card? A teddy bear? Or something else? If you use another person's character, please get permission first.

-

"You might be taller if you hold your ears up like this-"

"Ack! Don't grab my ears like that, they're sensitive..."

 

An arch-drakon of the Fortress of Fluff and his most recently appointed Royal Artificer hang out. Platonically and non-canonically (so Meki and Luis do not come after me.) 

They have quite a bit in common. Both under 5 feet tall (and with ears that put them over that height, if they stood up straight). Both with a collection of shinys. Both floofy and fluffy. Both creatures who would prefer to avoid direct sunlight (for slightly different reasons). 

Surprise! A bit of a nonconventional Valentine's sketch - partly because I wanted to incorporate the crackship pairing into it ^-^ Paiko's "receiving love language" is different from his "giving love language". Trinkets and collectibles (or snacks) will win anyone to his good side almost immediately, and he can reciprocate with his own crystal shinys in turn.

However, he's quite a withdrawn creature and typically doesn't spend one-on-one time with anyone. A sign of a deeper friendship would be time spent voluntarily being around that person.

 

Thanks to KolaBoi for his character Tact! This was a cute and fun piece to draw ^v^

    This has been in my feed for a shamefully long time waiting for me to comment. But I love it. It is so sweet - it makes me think of Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh.

      Aww haha thank you Minimaid! ^-^ A fortunate roll for the crackship pairing. Imagine if Paiko got paired with someone much... taller... and more formidable... XD

      Hahaa! I wonder who else meets the criteria for this club? 0.0

      Thanks so much Neo! Honestly it's a combination of "I don't have enough time to color things in properly" and "I'm too lazy to color things in properly" so hello pastel overlay layer, we're best friends now Big Smile

      It's a fun method/style to work with, happy to hear you find it aesthetically pleasing ^v^
