Character interaction trade for

My character Rook meeting her Roy. Been wanting to draw these two together for a while. Roy is an undercover CIA agent working within a mob and Rook is just all kinds of criminal with no real allegiances. They're obviously going to be BFFs.
I think Rook is just enjoying being taller than someone; that doesn't happen all the time.

dA did horrible, weird things to the contrast as always, but this took so long to upload that I'm going to leave it for now. xD The expressions look best in full view.

In the sketchy reference it looked like Roy was missing part of an ear. I apologize if he's not xD I can probably draw an eartip on. Also I think I drew the muzzles too long and boxy again.

Those are some leggy gents, I see. Quite dapper too.

That may mean I failed at proportions again, actually. x'D Rook at least isn't supposed to be particularly long-legged, and I don't think Roy is either. But they are dapper~

//sobs
This is so brilliant, I can barely form words and guhh
I really like the darker coat on Roy (might just be one of his alternate outfits) and how well you drew him when the references you used were incomplete, haha. Those expressions are really nice, too, and I dig that shading and texture you used. They're both such handsome devils (though I wonder if it's a bit weird for Rook to see pantsless! Roy)
I should comment on so much of everything but words can't even
I only hope when I finish mine that it will compare to this gloriousnesssssssss
//flops around like fish


and yes, he is missing part of an ear; he's a part of a club of characters missing part of their right ears


even though that was totally unintentional

This comment makes me so happy c:
Thanks, I'm glad you like it so much! C: I actually got the idea for the coat from a stylized sketch I found in one of your scrap galleries somewhere. (Haha, maybe that's why he looks so smug: this other guy didn't even remember to put on any pants! But nah, he's used to seeing pantsless creatures running about, lol.) I could totally see these two having to work together on something and having some sort of begrudging partnership or something like that. It would be glorious. xD

Haha well it adds roguish charm at least~

Haha
Oh? //looks for ; finds
I'd actually completely forgotten about that jacket when thinking of designs for his overcoat, but it definitely will be an alternate outfit for him ('cause who just wears one, anyways? pf)
Best. Partnership. Everrrrr
will have to draw more with the two, 'cause they're just too good together.


In fact, if you ever want to join the PM group, you can use Rook in it, if you feel like it (or another character's cool, too).

It's a good look for him, I think = D
Oh yes 8D


I'm actually considering that a bit! I'd have to make an alternate history for him to fit in the universe there but I think a lot of it would translate really well. It sounds like a ton of fun.

Ooh, well, if you do get to, then I'd love to see him in the group.
I'll be working on it this summer, so it should be complete before summer's end (hopefully).

never trust a dog who smiles like that and looks that hot while doing it..

A good rule of thumb is to just never trust Rook in general. xD
