Have y'all read Joy Demorra's Hunger Pangs yet, because if you haven't you should.

Also does anyone remember this meme? A few Novembers ago @thebibliosphere put the trio on the ot3 bunk and I feverishly sketched this up before immediately getting sick and completely forgetting all art until I got better.

But nothing can stop my love for these three!!!

Also I know Nathan doesn't go to bed a wolf every night but wolf made the meme funnier.

[Image Description: a photo of a "chaperone chair," edited to have three illustrated people sitting on it, with a vague blue background, and implied window lighting coming from the left. The chair is comprised of three connected seats arranged facing counterclockwise. In the front seat is Vlad, who is leaning forward to kiss Sue, and reaching to hold both her and Nathan's hands. Sue is sitting in the right chair, leaning to kiss Vlad back, and petting Nathan's cheek with her other hand. Nathan is sitting in the left chair, his other hand on Sue's shoulder, and he's leaning back to gaze lovingly at the other two.]

#I need someone with skills to draw the chaperone chair with the Phangs trio #doesn't matter who is leaning in to kiss who in the center #but the other should be leaning back to watch with a look of fond contentment

This idea was too cute, I couldn't not draw it.

(Also y'all should go read Joy's novel Hunger Pangs, where these three glorious queer, supernatural, polyam folks feature! https://thebibliosphere.tumblr.com/post/681950338715090944/in-a-world-of-dwindling-hope-love-has-never )

I'm supposed to be working on making gloves to dress my skeleton up like Vlad for some skelfies once I get my physical copies of Phangs, but this idea struck me at work two weeks ago and I had to. (This was supposed to be a silly little sketch for the sake of the pun. It...escalated. Several times. You can, perhaps, see why I was drawn to Phangs.)

[Notice: Phangs does not cause literal lightning strikes. If such are seen while reading Phangs, it is a mere coincidence, and I hope you are safe, comfy, and (if you so choose) able to watch and/or listen at your leisure. Side effects of reading Phangs can include but are not limited to: happy tears; sad tears; catharsis; validation (queer, disability (mental and/or physical), polyamory, spice); learning new things about yourself]

A couple closeups, as some details are hard to see downsized:

Those are rainbow glitter, open-toed, victorian-style boots. With red sole for flair. (I am terribly sorry I couldn’t find a real pair quite like this, most of the similar open-toed boots have an open heel, too.) Plus the hatband made glittery as well, for aesthetics and matching.

It’s glitter all the way down, y’all. (The highlights on her hair and lips were actually just the lineart brush, but it’s textured enough that, with the highlights’ bright layer style, it ended up also looking like glitter. The nail polish and bright “freckles” are deliberately rainbow glitter, though. Also metal is hard, but I had to draw her finger splints after I realized I could and she said it’d be cool.)
