Just a group of good friends and musicians, assassins and artists, fighting for the high score, for first place, for top tier, for the winning pass... or for pure random goofy fun: ~ I see a large brown couch set against a wall. Our viewing perspective is being shown through the HDTV screen itself. Behind the couch hangs a framed picture of Enim-Noinu, taken during their earliest years together as a band. Max and Brad all look far younger, yet Maile hasn't aged a day since - demonic genes are everlasting. On the couch sits a wide variety of different anthros, all strategically placed: \tKERRY/KASS is resting on the far right end of the couch, sat on its flattened armrest, PS4 controller in hand-paw, gaming it up with avid excitement and passion. She's smiling wide, almost snarling in a predatory sneer, eyes aflame with an expression nearing the edge of mass hysteria as she maintains a solid lead over the competition. Her hair is loose, curly bangs adorning her slender brow, while her brown canine eyes remain fixated upon the TV screen. She's pressed up against Maxwell, arms locked side-by-side, thigh pressed against his hip, attempting to agitate him into losing his winning streak. \tMAXWELL is jamming on his new PS4 console with raw intensity, eye wide and hollering aloud at the screen, dodging and weaving while holding the second controller, dreadlocks flinging with wild spontaneity, elbowing at KERRY/KASS gently, teasing her a bit while encountering a sudden losing streak against her. She's resting against his side as their tails are placed behind them, dangling off the far edge of the couch. Max is heavily determined to bypass KERRY/KASS's leading run and his expression would reflect his determination as such. \tBRADLEY is sat close beside Max, third controller in hand-paws, also focused entirely upon the game itself. His eyes are calculating and his pose is firm and solid, deep in thought and concentration. His fennec-collie-hybrid tongue is jutted out slightly, unknowingly, while he's playing, as sculptors are apt to do while chiseling out a masterpiece. Bradley is leaning far forward, closer to the screen than the others, yet still sat upon the couch. If he leans forward any further, he's apt to fall off the couch, anchored on his own tiptoe-paws. \tMAILE is sat upon the floor in a cross-legged position between Max and Brad, casually spectating the video gaming. She is laughing with joy and uninhibited wonder over how outrageously heated her fellow anthros are, all over something as mundane and nonchalant as a video game, especially when most of them maintain a steady job at finding and killing bad, unsavory types by night and play in a grunge rock band by day. Maile's panda-girl hand-paws are clenched together in a cross-fold, covering her chin, hair tied back in a ponytail, hooved feet folded beneath her thighs. [Her pet GSD SAMMY is lying next to her, resting his head on her lap, calm and content, completely unaware of any video games.] \tGUS is sat on the far end of the couch, opposite Max, resting his aging bald head upon the palm of his wrist, watching the gaming camaraderie with strict disinterest, honestly wishing these jerks would just go rehearse more already and let him watch his own TV programs, which don't come cheap from any paid subscriptions. His expression is tired, weary, not as into video gaming as the rest. He'd rather go read a good book or prepare dinner for the group. Yet there he sits, watching how into it they get, scoffing silently to himself. \tCALLI is leaning over the back-rest of the couch, front half of her body nestled between Max and Brad, cheering her loving boyfriend on, hand-paw resting upon the nape of his neck, other hand-paw curled up into a balled fist, raised and pumping frantically for supreme victory on the Cyphers front. Her tail is propped up and her dreaded braids are dangling and swinging between the hybrids as her Saluki figure rests comfortably in a nook of cushioning, cheering on Brad without any guilt felt for the others. \tDARREL is in a sprawl-legged position sat on the far end of the couch, opposite Kerry/Kass, next to Gus, holding the fourth controller. He's got a toothpick jiggling between his teeth and his perky ears constantly tweak and flick in reaction to actions made on-screen. His jaw is hung agape and his eyes are shocked, as if he's playing WAY better than originally intended and he's barely comprehending as such. That, or he'd seen a pair of boobs somewhere in-game that threw him off significantly. Lol XD \tELLY & MIZUKI are cradled up against Darrel, surrounding him on both sides, with Mizuki sat beside Gus and Elly resting upon the other armrest. Elly is rubbing at her shoulders, eyes fixated on Mizuki, thoughts not entirely focused on the video game. Meanwhile, Mizuki is watching the game in awestruck wonder, probably savoring the awesome high-quality graphics. She's blushing slightly, though no way will she admit to why. In her mind's eye, she's too preoccupied with the game's beautiful visuals. [AUTHOR'S NOTE: I figured there's no immediate set-path direction for how they'd be dressed, what they're wearing, etc. - their outfits can be very versatile. I'd gladly let you freestyle this aspect on your own accord. <3 I only hope this isn't far too many anthros to work with! By all means, pick and choose accordingly. I'm just throwing an idea your way for positioning and such. You can work their couch spots out however you see fit. So yeah, this is a big fat group shot, essentially! Let me know what you think…]\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Suffice to say, this fantastic artist has completely smothered all expectations and delivered a stunning display of multi-character fun times!!! I also opted to include a few of the WIPs, to show y'all just how much dedication went into achieving this overwhelmingly ambitious illustration idea. XwX
So, without further ado and listed from left to right:
