That hyena has enormous arms great for hugging!

Pretty nice

Wait, are Eric and Jason still an item, or has that changed?

They were my first two characters. At the time, I thought it would be cute to create them as an established couple, as it would give me a good reason to have them depicted together in art - that's why most of my older commissions involving them are boyfriend/couple type images. But as time went on, I obtained new characters and started depicting Jason and Eric in different situations with various other dudes. I started to feel that having them as a permanent couple limited how I could depict them. At this point, I'd say they're in more of a "friends with benefits" situation. And now I have the freedom to show them interacting (romantically or otherwise) with anyone I like. I'm sure I'll commission more stuff of them together in the future, it just won't be as a formal "couple."
