Your name
Tom, not Mark. Mark is the YouTuber, Tom is the artist.

Cheap wool itches but the good stuff doesn't bother me. And acrylic knits are fine.

Beanies make my hair itch, it's possible

They are adorable! 😍

You two are cute enough that'd i'd pay for the photo, if not offer one for free.

sadly my local one is gone though google street view from a certain angle still shows it there.

i don't know anything about portraits but wouldn't going back to similar position be fairly the same?

I can only imagine how hot it must be, with 2 heavy-furred snow leopards snuggled up together while wearing heavy winter sweaters. There needs to be a sequel to this, all the heavy clothes unceremoniously dumped in a pile, with a sweating Adira and Maeve laying in the snow outside the photo studio, wearing only their fur.

Well, not Wal-Mart. In Germany it was the photo studio at Quelle. But both are long gone. Anyway: they have to sit for a painting … that is not only costly, it also takes plenty of time.

As they say in North Germany: Wat mut, dat mut. Fine sketch warming the season.

And suddenly a certain someone's obsession with creating paintings of nude Keidran can be seen under a different light.

My two fav sneps ♥

Save the daughter from the torture

The ones around here bring photographers in to take the pictures, they don't have studios in the store. If the lady wearing the sweater is a feline, are they still sweater puppies? Because Adira's are lovely.

Am I right in thinking you mean that painting of a certain dragon and a woman? ;)

How can Maeve feel the sweater is itchy with all that fur cushioning her?

Never got past Santa's lap for mine.

(Two Hours Later...) Adira: TAKE THE GOD DAMN PICTURE ALREADY!!! Maeve: PLEASE!!!

Holly Jolly!

This picture is honestly so cute! Mother and Daughter are both such beauties! And in all honesty, you'd think they would just do a sketch and paint the rest later.

Gosh, it's been an *age* since I thought about K-Mart.
Netari Icefyng
K-mart Wal mart didn't exist nearbye when it was done for me.
Noxitious
None in my area. Most Wal-Marts around me got rid of those years ago...

Hands up, everyone who remembers getting dragged into the Wal-Mart photo studio (do they even have those anymore!?) to sit uncomfortably in place for 20 minutes while the photographer micro-adjusts everyone...
Noxitious
FORBIDDEN! It changes the portrait completely...

After the amount of time it took to wrestle Maeve into that sweater, Adira is going to get the best portrait she possibly can.

In the main strip, which we usually consider canon, the technology level is comparable to early Renaissance in our world. The basic medieval technology, metal work, sailing ships and archery are highly refined but there are no innovations like steam power or firearms. Mark's Paetron drawings often stray into an alternative world where technology has advanced to our current level and many of the strip's main characters show up there as well. This alternative world contains several different storylines that often use the same characters. There is one where the main strip's story is a TV show with actors who portray the main characters in the strip. In that story, Trace is actually engaged to Laura. There is also the Modern Trio series of pictures with Kathrin, young Laura, and Willow being roommates. Maeve and Snepchat are a part of this modern alternative world.

atleast let her scratch where it is itchy then go back to where your position was

Anything with near cannon age Maeve is absolutely loveable!

That is why i say IF.At that speed old white and black photo would not even be real...could shrug it off to "made with magic" bs but ideas theself dont evolve that fast.
INKDEMONKING500
Maeve looks so cute 😊

I will point out that the sketches have 2 main continuities they follow, the regular one and the modern AU. This likely would be in the regular one
Ordithus
This is the cutest wholesomest sketch!

If we take Maeves with her phone as cannon then in that world tech got developed at the speed of light...Conffes who the hell got isekaide to my paradice?
George Grover
That's cute
SophieTRat-Skunk
Totally agreed.
SophieTRat-Skunk
Agreed. So far this is my #2 pick to be coloured... (I think you all know which is #1!)
Kurtis Ryan
Reminds me of that old GE light bulb commercial.
Roarschach
This is so cuuuute!
Patrick Horton
In the olden Days, the customer really did have to stay still for minutes to hours on end barely moving, and yes. They're expensive. Hand-drawn took longer than early photography 📸, and early photography took longer than nowadays. So, things have improved dramatically in 150+ years since the Victorian Era, if not longer.
Stephen Gilberg
Sometimes I need a reminder that outside of certain noncanonical art, they live in a setting without cameras.
AskDerpyCat
Awww I hope if this gets colored, we get a bonus with the portrait texture
MR, ABYSS

James_TGS
