Got it to a state where I'm willing to upload it - was tempted to do much more, but I would like to move onto other things. So, after the two outages, thanks to Hurricane Milton and whatever the one was before it just a week earlier, I'm calling it here for this one.

Elijah 'Eli' Nkosi and Richard 'Ritz' Fitzsimons make a return with a bit of a facelift. Not sure what name I want for the rabbit other than his moniker 'Ritz', so that may change in the future. I decided on throwing the two into the same universe as a couple. Would like to show small snippets of their lives together and their personalities that shape their interactions, but that is way down the road. I have plenty of scenarios already, but my workflow is slow enough to try and add another little comic project, but it may see life in the future.
All and all, it was a fun piece that I told myself I wouldn't get lost in the line art with... before promptly getting lost in the line art with. Tried giving a full render a go but scrapped it after two separate attempts. Was going to add clothing to all the heads, but quickly did not want to do that and lastly, I was going to go hard on Eli's jacket before calling it quits after the flannel pattern was getting too insane. Cut myself off in some areas at least.

I have a super cute idea I want to dive into with Caeser and his whole family next (which would feature five characters including the father I've never drawn yet). It'll probably be a second, but that's where I'm leaning. I'd also like to revisit and finish the piece involving Ma'ko and Yubellia in the scraps folder.
Onwards to the next project.

Wish everyone the best as always.
