Artwork: Illicit Embrace

A Valentine's Day drawing: a workplace assignation, two co-workers drawing close into an intimate embrace.

I can't say that I'm one for Valentine's Day (and I'm sadly unattached this year anyway), but the day is an excuse to practice drawing couples intertwined, rather than my usual single character drawings. I didn't originally plan on a doing such a 'mundane' workplace drawing though—that came out of my clothing choices, when I realised that I'd deviated somewhat from my usual fantasy fare. I can't say I mind though.

A drawing of a couple (a man and a woman) in an intimate embrace. The man has short, scruffy blonde hair and glasses, and is wearing a white lab coat over a pink shirt. The woman has long wavy purple hair, ram's horns, long pointed ears and a serpentine tail. She's wearing a black waistcoat over a pale blue shirt, as well as a short black skirt over tights. She has her hands on the man's shoulders; he was his arms wrapped around her waist as he pulls her close. Their foreheads are touching and their eyes are closed, as if drawing in for a kiss. The two of them appear to be in the corner of a room with a low-hanging ceiling lamp and a table, upon which there are two empty coffee cups.
This is probably an issue for HR.

The 'film reel' frame is also something of an accident: I was going for a variant of my usual skewed frame, and ended up with something that was reminiscent of a film reel—so I leant into it, and made it less reminiscent and more opaque.
