Okage 11: Blush

For the "red" prompt. The image doesn't have any true red in it, you'll just have to get symbolic about "they are blushing".

Marlene/Ari. Let's refrain from critiquing the pairing; it's canon and I heart it and I've yet to draw it seriously for my 100, so.

I like that they're both so awkward and shy. I was going to draw them kissing, but forehead touching and holding hands seemed like enough to bring my point across.

I experimented with anatomy and colors. The anatomy was not a winner, but I love my color palette.

98/100.
