a liddle regency au sketch for @kakuhidaweek - Cpt. Taki recovering from his dueling wound with his very devoted caretaker.. they have mutually pined and now they are reaping the mutual benefits
The colour version of this sketch, finally complete! A scene from the latest chapter of @zombie-honeymoon’sHoneymoon at the Clown Motel. Technically it was lunchtime not sunset… but I got carried away with light layers and couldn’t resist…
Sketch for a piece I’m working on from a scene in @zombie-honeymoon’sHoneymoon at the Clown Motel. I really like the sketchy feel of it but had to completely rework the line art for colour… so it’s become a separate thing!
General Kakuzu is incensed enough after what went down in the arena that day to follow the emperor into the baths and tell him if he ever pulls a stunt like that again he’s going back to Britain and he can find a new leader for his Praetorian Guard.
But he finds the emperor surprisingly amenable to being told off… He lets him pull him roughly towards him, melts against him, his hand in his hair, his mouth curving in a half smile… and suddenly Kakuzu’s anger is turning into something else…
the new emperor is such a wretched little creature…
General Kakuzu, back from a five-year gruelling campaign in Britain which cost him half his legion, isn’t amused by what’s become of his beloved Rome in his absence. He briefly considers taking his sword to the deranged little tyrant and ending this now, but he’d be unlikely to make it out alive past the Praetorian Guard. He sheathes it again, hissing through his teeth with frustration.
I really hoped I’d be able to update Shinobi Academy of Music this week, but I didn’t quite make it. But I did manage to draw the boys on the cusp of ripping each other’s clothes off in a practice room, so hopefully that’ll make up for it!
