This one was a LOT of fun, but also I had the """fantastic""" idea to draw the characters separately to have them both as pinups, which was a bit tricky once I put them together to create the pairing image. You can see the whole process in the attached video. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do things, but hey, it works.
The whole image took me about 3 hours total, for those curious - I can work really fast if I have complete creative freedom in a piece and no external pressure. Brains are SO MUCH fun, uh??
