love that feels like music

Cal graciously accepted a commission for this project, which is a Watch What Happens themed take on these wonderful sketches by Yidan. @tally-kiza truly put her own mark on them! From the details of Arthur's hands to the vibrancy of the colors, they are absolutely beautiful. 💜

Within these two panels, you captured Arthur and Sarah's relationship. There's a tenderness that permeates the frames, an affection as warm and inviting as a down pillow. I love how the morning sun cascades over them, and the purple and yellows of the background. 🌇

The texture of Arthur's hair is perfect, somewhere between well groomed and bedhead. His cheekbone and jawline in the second drawing make me a little nuts. 👀 You've got his anatomy down pat! Sarah, too, looks great, especially her lashes and brows as she bends up to him. And their kiss is warm fuzzies inducing. 🥰

Thank you very much for these pieces, Cal. You are so talented and I'm proud of you! 😊

Imagine your f/o hearing you giggle or laugh for the first time, and gazing at you with love and appreciation, as if you lit up their entire world. The way they admire your small moment of entertainment, they see your expression of amusement as so breathtaking and warm. From then on, they make mental note to make you laugh and smile more, because they want to witness these moments of joy all the time.
