What an absolutely gorgeous piece of art! I love the colouring and the style (distinctive, indeed :) ), and it captures so brilliantly what is happening in that scene - way better than I could ever express it with words. The expressions are perfect, and I love the structure you've given to this scene - especially how you use pictures without words and words without pictures to add more meaning, and the focus on little details like the cigarette stub.

Intimate and sensual and very beautiful. Thank you so, so much, dear anon! You've really made my day.

So pleased you liked it!! I thought a lot about what you'd like best and this scene really stuck, so there it is. I downplayed the smut a bit, sadly, but I'm happy to know you think I've managed to keep the essence of it! That was a lovely assignment to work on.

You nailed it, really. Full disclosure: this was my very first attemt of writing a smut scene, and I still cringe a bit when I read it. So it's absolutely wonderful with a lower rating! *g*

I'm hopeless at writing smut, but I'm getting better at the whole drawing it. I thought the lower rating was working better with me, but your scene doesn't read at all like a first attempt, bravo!
