Finally, after a month of distractions and delays, I finally get to start drawing again! And I finally got to complete the second (actually the first) YCH pic!

This pic is a followup to Hypnosis, where Raimund was trying to get someone to do his bidding. In this case, it's   sessinoga. Although in actuality, he's been feeling lonely after his Trainer's passing, and just wanted someone to fill in that hole. His mind control is temporary and only lasts an hour at best, but that's all he needs.

Honestly, I really don't have any good explanation for why he chose to hypnotize someone temporarily instead of looking for a new master. I just thought the idea was cute and really wanted to draw it.

Subtracting all the time I spent not doing this, it took about a few hours to do in Photoshop. I couldn't position the right arm the way I originally wanted to, which is why it looks the way it does. The angle and overlapping characters made shading a challenge. Along with that, I still struggle with how lighting works on black objects. But I'm satisfied with how the end result came out.

Thank you   sessinoga for offering your character for this pic. Hope you like it!

Any critique is welcome.
