This piece was a pleasant experience. What started as just a sweet lil' sketch turned into an excellent experience for learning and improving with lighting and the colors associated. The pose itself was also quite fun - noseboops are a nice lil' addition to any composition, and this was no exception, in my opinion. 
Variant 2, the clothed version, was a lil' difficult to get right lighting wise, but it's all a learning process, one I absolutely relish.

At the end of the day, though, this piece expresses the love I share with my beloved Ferin; he is my world, and his love the light of my life. I wanted this piece to kinda symbolize that, as cheesy as that may be.

Any criticism or feedback would be much appreciated!
