Zero Kiriyu from Vampire Knights... in the tub / shower... Kaname's kind of in the picture too, but you just see his hand and the back of his head.
This picture is from chapter four of my Fan Fic "Blood Moon" [link] when Kaname places a blood seal on Zero in hopes of extending his life. The blood seal in the pic is actually a little too far down Zero's neck for how it is in the story - it should be further up behind his ear, but artistically for the composition of the picture it looked better where it is. ;]
The water effect in this picture was killer to try to achieve. I'm not sure I'm really happy with it, but it's a technique I'll just have to keep working on.
Drawn/colored entirely in Photoshop with my wacom tablet.
A small excerpt from the story:
Zero felt frozen in place by Kaname's gaze, a weird, unexplainable lump rising awkwardly in his throat. Suddenly the pureblood was in the tub with him, kneeling over him. He'd dropped the shower head and it dangled, rotating slightly, spraying the wall of the tub and letting hot water run down across their legs. Kaname raised his own wrist to his mouth and opened a vein with his teeth, drawing blood. He did the same to his other wrist and then crossed them, pressing the bleeding wounds together. He murmured quietly under his breath, Zero just making out snatches of the ancient words he was chanting. Zero sucked his breath in sharply, but he couldn't move. Kaname was 'holding' him still.
Kaname turned Zero's head to the side, pushing his wet hair back from the un-tattooed his neck. He held his crossed wrists up and let several drops of his blood drip down directly behind Zero's right ear.
"Sanguis meus ad sanguinem tuum. Carnis meus ad caro." The words were soft, but intense.
Zero's mind automatically translated them. 'My blood to your blood. My flesh to your flesh.' He recognized the incantation. Kaname's face was very close to him now, breath stirring Zero's hair as he dropped his crossed wrists and leaned forward, blowing lightly on the drops of blood behind Zero's ear. He used his power over air to manipulate the crimson liquid into a small, very precise shape.
"My strength, to your strength," Kaname whispered, still in the ancient dialect. "Bound to you for the keeping, all that I entrust..."
Kaname pressed his lips to Zero's skin in a firm kiss and Zero's back arched suddenly against the cool porcelain as an almost electric shock seemed to flow out of Kaname's body into his. Something like a lightning bolt surged through him, thundering through his muscles, making his heart race and his eyes water. He arched his head back against the lip of the tub, fingers scrabbling automatically against the porcelain. Then the surge was gone, although the skin behind his ear still throbbed faintly as Kaname withdrew his lips, leaving behind the small, graceful outline of a geometric rose that appeared to be tattooed on the pale skin.
