I also won't lie to you I can also imagine after Vigil's got his fill of appreciating Ilian's features and the lovey dovyness leaves him, Vigil might also get the funny idea to just mess around lowcenuinely WHAWHW like squishing Ilian's face, just abusing his free will and straight up being a giggle shit </3

Not that it's making fun of his partner, most likely Vigil would do this nonetheless out of his own form of affection. He'd also probably do this in those times where he wakes up, and just cant go back to sleep so he gets bored and thus,, we come here. I can see him doing the same to Ilians hair, like, flicking his front bang and doing whatever 💔If Ilian wakes up Vigil is immediately pretending to be asleep this little shit!!!

GUH I will say I'm still unsure of this piece since I definitely could have done better with the rendering, especially with their hair, I think I only struggled because of the fact there wasn't a set light source since this is a dark room so it was hard finding where shadows go. I hate to say it but I feel like I prefer the plain lineart even more haha, you see a LOT more there!!

Its not even funny how BEYOND pleased I am with the linework especially with Ilian, GOSH I genuinely locked in so bad for him <33 I find drawing mouth lines hard since I try hard to make sure its not like,, an awkward straight line so it can look like actual lips — so this was GREAT

And no joke, his hair was ever more easier. I think I had more trouble with Vigil compared to Ilian grumbles </3 but thats fair considering how messier Vigil's hair is whilst Ilian's has more,,, structure yk?

MMM what else to add what else to add,, I think it'd also be a first for Vigil to be the smaller one in any dynamic. He hadn't been small in a long time, I don't think he doesn't like it, he's definitely amendable to the position but its moreso coming from a place to being unused to it yknow? This in general is something he's unused to. I think something i found funny thinking about writing this is the fact the change from being friend to lover with Vigil wouldn't be too obvious aside from the fact you two are astronomically closer. But Vigil's still quite playful and just,, himself and all.

I also tried to think if Vigil would have his,, mask on when sleeping with his partner? I feel like he wouldn't since while yes, he doesn't mind the mask, he probably has his moments of removing it - but I also don't think he'd have his lower jaw out and about. Probably wears a,, sigh, yes a mask. Not a wooden one this time!! but shrugs, one of cloth or fabric.

I also have another variation of this since I was stuck inbetween how to,, set the lighting of this piece again since there'd be a lack of light and all - so have this other version where there's more of a focus to Vigil's eye,

I decided against this one and chose the one above since it drew more attention to both of their faces!!! UGHH I go crazy how good this look when you close up like woah!! I probably should have zoomed in more since there's a lot of empty space in the upper and lower parts of this frame but thats okay!!!

This was a WONDERFUL piece despite it taking gulps six hours. Which, fair. You wouldnt believe the amount of Chilling Scares videos i watched in the mean time haha, but this is my contribution to IdentityTheft!!! I keep giggling looking at it again since I wonder how much of a bother Vigil's hair would be WAHAWHAWH

Vigil just has to rest his head against Ilian's collar/neck area(?) and Ilian gets a face full of hair LHLHLH I keep getting a bit wistful thinking about the sadder aspects to their relationship and how it can all potentially fall apart. Because I do think this would be the few moments Vigil would really cherish. Because this is nice, really nice. Better than a lot of things Vigil's used to.

BUT THATS GOOD I HOPE THEY FUMBLE EACH OTHER ANYWAY ugh drawing this also ragebaited me I HATEDD seeing this happy couple like break UP already omfg. Vigil you are CHOPPED, Ilian you are DOOMED wake up sheeple!!! It should've been me not my dumbass son not my dumbass son 💔💔🥀🥀It's that medic doodle all over again GET ME OUT OF HERE
