Finally wrapped these up! I got permission from @alkalinefrog to colour her “Goodnight” pieces, which were in turn inspired by the work of the lovely @captainhysunstuff‘s comic about L and Light trying to figure out how to sleep during the Yotsuba arc (here’s the first one, it’s super cute and still ongoing!). 

I have a bad habit of rendering too much, so I took this opportunity to practice just laying out colours, making shapes, and forcing myself not to use the airbrush or blenders. Looking at their feet as I type, I can spot a hundred little details that I would obsessively polish out most of the time. 

But I still love them. I like how much movement I put into their clothes, the forms I was able to convey, the lighting in the scenes. I think they turned out wonderful, for all of their flaws. With all of the flaws. The messiness seems to fit a lot...

Huge thanks to Alka for giving me permission to colour these two. Not how I expected to make my first piece of art on the site, but here we are.

Would you say that you’re a distinguished boy with distinguished khakis?

I’m a distinguished man with distinguished khakis, yes.

Oh! Happy birthday~! Started seeing comments about it, so I’ll wish you a good one, too~. I hope it has been so far! ✨🎂✨

Thanks!!! It sure has been! I’ll get into some champagne later and it will be even better lol 🍾

*dramatically spits out drink* You’re ALIVE?!?

Of course. My life doesn't revolve around the internet.

Dress crocs look like grandpa shoes, and that cardigan looks like a grandpa sweater. All you need is some khakis pulled all the way up to your nips. In the meantime, you can borrow my shawl, old timer.

I refuse to apologize for looking classy.

Am I on the "smite" list? 😗

That depends. What are you planning for my birthday? It’s in one week.

Henh, all right, I'll ask a serious question since you tolerated me for so long, champ. Do you think L would let you keep that Universal Handcuff Key if you got it?

He doesn’t have to know I got it if it gets sent with some other stuff. I can just hold onto it just in case.
