Let's go to dinner

Description

Her voice was the same sober relaxed-but-professional tone that she would utilize in polite conversation with a coworker, bless her outstanding voice control, but her smirk was about as badly hidden as Jim's when she aligned the entire length of her fingers with Spock's and dragged them upwards full-contact.
they usually knew better than to mess with Spock when he was meditating, it only prolonged the session, but this afternoon had put them in such a borderline age-inappropriately giddy mood that Nyota hadn't been able to resist teasing.

"You're a bad influence on my judgement" she shot him with a mock glare once they'd made it out of the sleeping-segment of his quarters. His eyes just crinkled further and he gave her hand an extra squeeze before letting go right as the door opened. Officially disclosed relationship or not, it wouldn't do to have the Captain skipping through the halls holding hands like a 12 year old. Unfortunately.

Have I reached "disgusting" on the cute-o-meter yet?

So here's what I learned about coloring with fine liners.

1. It works out well enough with pure primary colors.
2. the lighter the color the greater the risk.
3. Don't ever fucking try to render skin with it, no matter the color. I don't know how long I spend trying to fix Jim.

Also, watercolor pencils + damp cotton swap is an interesting effect that i should probably try again on thicker paper.

I really like the posing in this, and the way they each connect physically.  You've managed to show Spock looking like Spock, which is hard to do in and of itself, with that little acknowledgement of attachment despite austerity, which is just so in-canon for new and old Spock (even though this relationship is not).  Kirk feels like Chris's Kirk, standing straight and confident but less arrogant and more just young and kind of innocent when it comes to relationships... he still just looks like a young guy who's never had his heart broken or grown cynical about things like sex, and your portrayal just shows that so well.  Then Nyota, lingering with those deep, subtle little touches to both, not clingy but completely unafraid of affection.  She's so comfortable with all of this.

It's rare and wonderful to see fanart that stays true to the characters, especially when there's non-canon shipping.  This is outstanding!  There's some room for anatomic improvement-- something about Nyota and the way Kirk's head and torso are turned-- but seriously keep this up!  Out of all the stuff you've submitted to Poly-Love, this one does it best.  I look forward to seeing more, if you do more fanart. :)
