Cufflinks - Kaname and Zero

Published:

Description

Zero Kiriyu and Kaname Kuran from "Vampire Knight". Drawn and colored in Photoshop with a wacom pen / tablet.

The scene is from my story "Take the Lead" [link] .
Zero surprises Kaname by assisting the pureblood with his cufflinks while they're getting dressed to go out for the evening.

...Kaname was pleasantly surprised and he stood patiently, perfectly happy and content to let Zero do as he pleased. His expression was soft as he watched the silver head bent over its self appointed task. Zero's warm fingers brushed his wrist and palm as they worked with his shirt cuffs. The subtle, fresh scent of Zero's shampoo mingled with the boy's natural scent filled his senses and Kaname breathed it in deeply.

"There," Zero straightened up after a few more moments, satisfied with his work. He glanced up and caught Kaname's intensely adoring gaze, causing him to color slightly and look away, even as he smiled. "Um, all set," he finished, finally glancing back towards Kaname as if his gaze was being drawn by a magnetic force.


AU from the manga, obviously. :love:

I changed Zero's clothing a little from what he should be wearing in the story. Once I was drawing it I thought he looked better in a vest rather than a suit coat. :D

Thanks to some great advice from my friend :iconsagakure: I'm trying something new with the way I'm drawing. This picture was outlined / "inked" completely freehand instead of using the pen / path tool in photoshop like I was doing before. Takes a lot of time, but I think I really like the effect better. I also played with a cleaner, more manga-ish look in my coloring.
