I like this for three primary reasons:

1. It's cute.
2. The grayscale.
3. You made Revan short. He definitely has a short-man complex. (sup' tiny!)

Good work, carry on.

Thanks for the comments and for favoriting! I will now respond to your comments:

1. My cute style is similar to PriestRevan's because I really enjoy how he draws and I somewhat "absorbed" it as I was learning how to draw furries myself.
2. The grayscale is a result of me not using a computer to draw. I use a pencil and paper only because it seems like a huge investment to buy a tablet and art software for something I only do casually in my spare time. Colored pencils are out because I'd never be able to blend the exact color I want and it would probably just start looking messy.
3. From my last attempt at this drawing I found out that he was 5'4" so I knew he was noticably shorter than me.

Also, did you get/enjoy the reference I was making?

Well, I'm no artist, but this is leaps and bounds improved over the original. About the traditional media, I think that's great, simple Ebony art pencils produce fantastic works...

I found out that he was 5'4"

You can't tell me this! I like to give him a hard time as it is, haha. I'm 5'11" and I feel short sometimes, especially when I play 6'4" people in tennis!

As for the reference, unless you mean the "payment/interest" thing, it escapes me...

Too late! You already know he height now. The reference comes from the "Please Be Gay" comic. I wanted to do something nice to return the favor for giving me pointers as I started out, but he didn't ask for it. This is much like Kevin giving Dexter a kiss for the tutoring help. I thought it fit well, so I went with it.

*his

That's what I get for not proofreading. lol

Ah yes, now I do. That's cool. I used to not believe in gray areas or bisexuality, but chemistry taught me to be tolerant (bonding spectrum). Most things are a spectrum in the physical world, it makes sense that the same would exist in sexual preference as well. Being 99.9% gay, this was hard for me to grasp years ago, haha.

But I like how that comic touched on the issue.

Due to recent additions to the Kevin and Dexter storyline it appears that Kevin actually is gay, despite it being a sort of "no homo" thing before. Kinda makes it even more fitting since when I did the original I had just came out to myself a few months beforehand. I was lost in my feelings for the most part then and I didn't want anyone else to know. Now I wish I could tell people but I'm too shy and afraid. The bio part of http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8334379 comes to mind, minus the big brother. I'm getting at how he's finding it hard to come out to others. Although, the most relationship experience I've ever had with with a guy was a hug. Actually, that hug is what made me question if I am gay in the first place since I enjoyed it so much. (sorry for the rambling, lol)

The way I see it, it's really not anyone's business. No one thinks I am gay, as I appear *stereotypically* straight. But I've known from a very young age, what my attractions were. This makes the process of "coming out" rather difficult, and frustrating, as no one expects it.

My only advice is this: Only come out when you want to. When you feel & know you are comfortable. Never feel pressured to do it. Don't do it for attention or in a heated moment.

I was always very sure of my sexuality, so in a way, I was lucky. But at the same time, I was never who everyone assumed me to be...

Know thy self.

Yup, no one suspects me to be gay. I am out to my dad, but that's it. Although, I'm still not even sure he fully belives it yet since I haven't done anything to "prove" it. I have a hard time bringing it up and actually avoid bringing it up sometimes, but every time I try to ask him he doesn't want to talk about it yet. I know the more people you tell the easier it gets though, but this is just one person in my family. However, sadly, it's more complicated than just coming out to family and friends. Even after I do that, I'll need to be out publicly if I want to try to find a boyfriend. And if that goes smoothly, I just don't know how my family will react to me being with said boyfriend in their presence.

I know you're trying to help and I thank you for it, but largely I'm on my own. I'm not trying to knock you down or anything, but you can't be there holding my hand and doing it for me (unintentional pun, but I'll leave it in). I already feel like I missed out on a lot by not understanding my feelings until I graduated high school. I just wish I could be out and start dating without the fear of any repercussions.

It's tough, I know. But don't sweat it. You really haven't missed much.

I know, I know! Me saying it doesn't not make it true for you. You want these experiences, as did I. But truthfully, you're young, you've got plenty of time. And unless you live in the deep South (picking on Alabama here), it's not as bad as you may think. Times are changing......slowly.

On relationships: They come and go when you're younger. But ignore the old adage of "opposites attract". This may be fun at first, but not in the long haul. The most successful pairings I have seen, both gay & straight, come from people who share similar qualities.

Similar attitudes, humor, interests, & intellects really build a strong & healthy bond. Sometimes, polar opposites work out, but more often they do not.

Where I live (Northeastern part of the US) there are laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, so that's a plus. I did have a few friends in high school that I could've seen myself dating provided they were interested in me too (especially the one I hugged), but I've pretty much lost all contact with them after graduation (I don't use any of that social networking stuff exept FA I guess, but I didn't officially become a furry until much later). I agree that compatibility comes from having a lot in common with the other person. Every major character trait that I look for in a guy is one that I have too. Kinda makes me wonder how straight people do it because women seem to think entirely different from me (hence why I've never actually had any good female friends). Even before I knew I was gay, I always just hung out with guys because I shared their interests for the most part and didn't really talk to girls much since I just wasn't interested in them.

Same. Mostly dude friends.

Thanks for the advice. It was nice talking with you. Friends?

Sure man, I help where I can. Good luck to you!

Must have posted right before I went to bed. I'll proceed to watch you now. Thanks again!

Very fancy. You're definitely getting better with bodies and arms. Just continue practicing with interaction between multiple characters.

Thanks for favoriting! I'm glad you like it! I didn't cheat this time and do each character separately, then trace them together afterward. Getting objects and characters to react with each other smoothly is definately something I still need to work on, but it was a little easier the second time around.

Looks great. :P

Thanks!

much better this one is!

I really like how the shading came out in this one. The pencil strokes are very smooth and even.

especialy the outer clothing
