:::Technical Note:::
Where to begin. I put a lot of research behind this picture. A LOT! From the colour to what they would wear to how they would sit x_X

The color Palette I chose was sort of "art deco": Turquoise/beige/pink/grey/black. I wanted something relaxing to watch. Very peaceful. Kim's hair is usually red but I decided to tone it down to pink. Red would have clashed way too much with the colour scheme. And the pink makes her feel a bit more feminine and gentle She's not wearing any jewelry... actually I forgot to put them in... but now I'm actually wondering if that would be too much anyway?

As for Claude, I wanted him to connect with Kim -somehow- If not, it would have just looked like two random dudes sitting on a bench with yoga-like poses.

I spent a week going back and forth, changing some details, adding and deleting things. I notice at some point that the changes I was making made little to no change on the overall piece. It's at this point I sat back and thought I could do nothing more to it.

I think on my next illustration project I should post regular "work in progress" pictures to get your opinions along the way. I think it will avoid me getting to a dead end ... like now XD

Oh and yay! The re-print of Spaced Out Volume 0 is finally being done as we speak. I have approved the sample yesterday after weeks of pointing fingers at people and all that fun fun stuff XD
I should have the volumes by next week. It's all good
