Mind if I use you as a pillow?

Another picture in my Fallout 3 series, once again of my Vaultie and Charon. Another stage in their relationship

Seems like they found a safe enough place to spend a night in, but it had only one old mattress. The Vaultie insisted, that they should both try and sleep sitting on it with their backs to the wall. Charon reluctantly agreed. Next thing he knows, is that Nikki puts her head on his shoulder, mumbling "Would you mind if I use you as a pillow?" and quickly falls asleep, exhausted by all the traveling and fighting. No, he didn't expect that Alas, I failed to draw him looking really surprized. The sketch was better in this sense.

I've been working on it on and off for a couple of weeks (and the pencil sketch is dated 01.12.2009 on it Has been waiting its turn to be colored ever since), and for some reason it just didn't want to turn out right. It still isn't Maybe the lighting is too tricky, maybe I just totally suck at anything more or less romantic. But if I don't publish it now, I never would. And I'm totally fed up with this pic and don't want to work on it anymore, though there is a lot that could be added or corrected. But let it be.
