For my best friend.

I was on a roll with this and couldn't wait to share it. Early Valentine's thing for of our best friend duo Caita and Zepp as they enjoy a bit of relaxing reprieve between waves of Mordrem, and Caita just can't resist a good headrub.

If you can identify the exact location in Auric Basin that his picture depicts, that's somewhat intentional. This is the first time I worked this closely to an in-game environment screen to really get an exercise in tone, lighting and depth. I love working in greyscale and after I got some more grey Copics I just knew what I'd be using them for. I'm extremely proud of this and I think I've leaped forward in terms of rendering better backgrounds because of this.
