[Art] One Piece - Complicated Friction (Lucci/Shuraiya) (PG13) for [personal profile] shuraiya

Title: Complicated Friction
Fandom: One Piece
Characters/Pairings: Rob Lucci/Shuraiya Bascùd
Rating: PG13 for gropings?
Crit/Feedback: Always welcome =D
Notes: This started out as a doodle for [livejournal.com profile] shuraiya that I decided I liked enough to eventually clean up. "Eventually" turned out to be "half a year later" XD I ended up actually redrawing this from scratch, since there were so many little things wrong with it, and I had a ton of fun. Damn you, [livejournal.com profile] shuraiya and [livejournal.com profile] junkeemunky, for infecting me with this 100% CRACK pairing.

PS: [livejournal.com profile] shuraiya should poke me for a hi-es version if it's wanted >.>

BIG HONKIN' UPDATE on the line art! I redrew about half of this piece, see coloured version notes for why. This entry serves as an archive of the old line art. The updated line art is in my DA gallery.

A/N: Hey, so, wow, I had fun with this. I actually did most of this over the course of a single day (that would be today), which is pretty quick for me! Or maybe I'm just improving/getting faster XD

I think I improved the anatomy significantly here, and I tried to mess with the positioning a little to emphasize the arching and also make Shuraiya not appear to be a foot taller >.> I particularly thing both of Lucci's hands look more... coherent now, and actually positioned more the way I wanted them to be, especially the right one of Shuraiya's face, which was supposed to be more grasping/clutching than cupping. I rather like how the interesting facial angle I had tried on Lucci cleaned up. I'm never ever satisfied with expressions, and doubly never satisfied with second attempts at nailing a particular one, but while the expressions here aren't quite the same as in the original, I still like them a lot. I, uh. I'm pretty inordinately proud of the lines of Lucci's cheek and chin >.>

So dude, I totally want to colour this. >.>
