Very nice indeed.

Is Zevran dressed at the request of the buyer, or is that because the original photographic pose with two bare chests didn't provide enough contrast?

[aroihkin]

It's something I ran by ICevoL to help with the D/s aspect. It probably would have been easier to draw Zev shirtless, though I didn't want to make him completely nude so that I could still put it on devart.

Contrast wasn't an issue at all, that's the same skintone on Rysen that I used on Alistair in the icon. And Taliesen in Camaraderie for that matter.

Beautiful! When you de-lurk again you do so thoroughly. :-)

I am especially fascinated by the mouth on ear thing. It tickles my imagination.
Is he whispering? Murmuring? Growling? What does he say? Or is he just breathing and biting a little? What does it take to put that anticipating pleasure-pain look on someones face?

[aroihkin]

Hahaha, I've been working on this one for a long time (as health permitted), but I try. ;)

And bwahaha, I meant to leave it up to the imagination but hot regardless, so I'm pleased at this. :D

Absolutely wonderful work! I think this is your best, which is saying something considering the quality of all your other Zev pcs. Thanks for sharing with us.

[aroihkin]

Hahaha, I suspected it would turn out the best of them. ^^ It took the longest of the Zev pics other than the very first one I did, which also involved me shaking off years of MS Paint rust and learning how to draw Zev at all.

ICevoL was mega super ultra patient and cool about it taking months and months though (I didn't even manage to start it at first, they paid me in December) and they paid more than I was asking, so I really didn't mind the extra hours and effort. :D

(This would be why I'm not really opening up commissions, though. I never know when my health is going to crash for months again.)

Anyhow, tired rambling aside, I'm glad you like it~

[tmcgeesdca]

I am sorry to hear you are unwell. I sincerely hope that whatever it is that plagues you gets it's ass kicked soon. Zev! Tiny army of sickness assassins to Aroihkin's bloodstream, now!

[tmcgeesdca]

argggh... "its" not "it's"

[aroihkin]

Haha, well... you're going to feel awkward, but I promise I'm not offended. I'm incurable so that's unlikely. XD

And unfortunately part of my problem is my immune system attacks and eats healthy tissue, so alas the sickness assassins would only piss it off worse, lol!

[tmcgeesdca]

I don't feel awkward at all. Just 'cause they say its incurable should never rule out hope. So my hope for you stands.

[aroihkin]

Well, no one's come out with anything new for my chief problem for over fifty years. XD But there's shades of argh, at least. :3
