I love this image. The picture makes me wonder if it's something taken from a point in the story, or just the artist's general feel of the characters. It seems as if Alps is just learning to trust at this point, which is familiar. I like Nidaja's expression. So coaxing and comforting, and yet playful and dominant. I think you have captured the feel of these characters very nicely. I'd love to see an inked version. ^^

HA! My first post (I sit behind the scenes and do the art ) Alps has hit it right on the head. It is when he is just learning to trust. The emotions listed are exactly what I had hoped to convey. I will try to do more with it but I have a huge pile of work to do yet
