Happy Valentines

Download for bigger version.

A friend on LJ requested a Tomo/Jared pic aaaaages ago.

Started drawing this about mid-summer last year but never got around to finish it until earlier this week. Colouring took about a day (started around 8.30 in the morning and finished at 4 am the following morning - but with loads of distractions breaks inbetween ) and last night I decided to change the background completely from the dark dull neutral one I had, so it took an additional 4 hours there because I almost fell asleep but wanted it finished firstttt

No references used while drawing (so my apologies to all guitarists worldwide for making Tomo's pose look weird), had a pic of Tomo in mind but I couldn't find it and I only drew this at work anyways. Used a ref pic for the guitar when colouring. And Jared's foot completely failed so I traced the shoe. >_>


_{Pfft it's not really slash unless you choose to believe so - maybe Jared just loves brushing unsuspecting peoples hair? The other version might be more acceptable by anti-slashers though?}

Happy Vday, people.

Human mutual grooming.
A few empirical studies of human social grooming exist. They rely on self-report survey and experimental methodology of adults living primarily in the U.S. and other Western cultures. People report grooming romantic partners more than grooming people they have other types of relationships with like family members, friends, and strangers. Grooming is associated with increased relationship satisfaction, trust, and experience of family affection while growing up. People who groom, as opposed to touch each other without grooming, are perceived to be better potential parents, more in love with the person they have groomed and more caring and committed to them. Women, but not men, tend to think people who have groomed one another are romantically involved. People also think that if people who have groomed one other are romantically involved, they are in a long-term relationship rather than one that has just begun. Human mutual grooming plays a role in pair-bonding.
