I WILL finish posting this series eventually!! I got stalled bc of a concussion... anyways more importantly! This one is one of my favorites, and is my favorite on the side of the detail work i did, while still allowing for it to be stylized. It's from october 25, and I worked with a few different photo references. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this turned out, and it was one of my best hands-holding-hands I've done in several years.

Chapter 61 “...Give me your hands.” The order was snapped out, Bertie all authority, and Cliopher found his hands loosening on the rope until his fingers ached with how hard he had been gripping. “Good. Good,” Bertie said, sliding his big warm hands into Cliopher’s so he could no longer feel the rope. “Now, Kip, I want you to step with me.” “Don’t let go,” he said urgently as Bertie stepped back, feeling all the space between them yawn open into vertigo. “Bertie!” “Right foot!” “Bertie, I can’t!” “You must!” “Bertie!” “Close your eyes, Kip, and trust me.” Cliopher had always responded well to direct orders from those he greatly respected. He closed his eyes.
