It was mainly Shadow Weaver's thing: she did it when she manipulated her kids, was controlling them and kinda even grooming (especially when it came to Adora and Glimmer). Even the first time when SW touched Arora's face was when she realized how strong Adora is and when she found out she can use her. It's hard to say what she meant by it when she did to Mikah, may it was even a genuine love? Or may be to show him she's stronger now and has control over magic he never had, consider that she was jealous of him for being more powerful than her. There are could be many interpretations actually.

But it was very important when it came to Catra. Every time SW touched Catra it was either manipulating, or "putting her in her place". The only time she did it with love was in the perfect universe. Makes you feel truly sorry for Catra.

I can say for sure that Catra took this thing from Shadow Weaver, because she also loved doing it to Adora. Firstly when she was showing her "who's in control now", and then when she kissed her. Adora imagined Catra touching her like this was even before Catra did it to kiss her and before it happened Adora also did this to Catra. And when saving Catra which paralleled Catra missing Adora. So we have a reason to think that Adora took it from SW as well. A family tradition Ig.

Other times when it was done by someone outside of this lil family it was used by Horde Prime when he showed Hordak love by it and then shower him he is in control. Similar to the way SW and Catra did it. And then we see Hordak doing it to little Adora, which somehow could represent the way he wanted it to be done with love by Horde Prime to him. HP have also done it to Catra and Glimmer, showing he has control over them, huh.

Double Trouble did it to Catra twice. Firstly when they were making fun of her and then they made Catra do this while pretending to be Adora. Which could also show Catra's false control to Adora she desires to get.

MORE Mikah with a slight redesign, felt like the previous one was a bit too cluttered and wasn't really feeling the the foot design anymore

Trying a new art style with this one

I finding I really like a line-less, cutout look and I tried to keep the rendering on this a bit simpler than my previous piece

Going for emphases on backward motion with a little floatiness. like they just pushed off the roof of a building
