Tender Moment [Wip + Breakdown] (Patreon)

Full character illustration for Scani for his partner Olefin for their 5 year anniversary gift! I'm still so flattered they went to me for such a special gift <3 

I didn't post WIPs of this one since I had to keep it a strict surprise, but now that Olefin has seen it and they both approve of the finished piece, I'm now able to post everything! :D And as a bonus, I'll include the breakdown of it since it's all done! 

Two WIPs I have Scani! B was based of his original idea, where I wanted to play around with the idea a bit more in A. I reallllyyy love eye contact in art, but he definitely wanted to go with the original idea, which is totally fine and understandable! (I'll probably auction off A at a later date when I free up my queue a little!) Only changes needed were to remove the bed sheets so we can see their legs and allow the gryphon's beak to be seen resting on the husky's shoulder.
