Enemies Begin As Friends

1 of the 2 commissions I'm doing for Makosharkman

He requested Peter Pan and a young Hook getting to know each other as friends. In this scene Peter's design is slightly different from how I usually draw him. This is because Makosharkman had some guidelines for me to follow for both Peter's and Hook's design. 

I acutally really like how this picture turned out. I really like the fading trees and branches in the background. And for the first time the guys I drew don't actually look that much like a girl. I'm usually not that good at drawing males, they always end up looking very feminine. I knew I had to nail it this time because first of all, this is a commission. And second of all, Hook has long hair! So he would be very likely to look like a women if I didn't try out new things.
And let's face it. Peter Pan, you're awesome but with your tights and all you look rather fabulous. So I had to be a critique for him as well. 

But all is well in the end. The results are nice I think. In this drawing Peter and James (Hook) are getting to know each other. They are comparing their weapons and telling each other about all the benefits those weapons have. Little do they know that the knife Peter is holding now will cut off Hook's hand in the future. And the sword Hook is proudly presenting will probably kill lots of Peter's friends in the future. Ohh the bittersweetness of this story just makes me love it!
