This is utterly adorable! I love the way Tonks is sprawled all over the couch but Remus is all self-contained, lol. Also, her foot under his leg, awww. So cozy, so contented. Makes me want to take a nap, too. :)

I really like the effect of the colors you've chosen -- the red and purple and blue pop out from the neutral background. And even Remus's brown sweater (of course he has a brown one, lol) is just enough warmer and more vivid to draw the eye.

Thank you. ♥

It was great to revisit this corner of the internet! As soon as I saw that prompt I knew exactly what I wanted to do - and imagining Tonks napping on a couch was just a lot of fun. :D Mr Faxe initially thought I was drawing the two of us, lol!

This is great! Love how completely, utterly relaxed Tonks is, with her foot tucked under his thigh, and her hair haphazardly falling over both sides of the arm (you knew I'd have to mention the great hair, didn't you?;)). And Remus is all neat and tidy, even while taking a nap, lol. Love the colour choices - the pink socks, mug and hair take the attention, and then I'm noticing Remus' neutral jumper and brown hair.

I'm so glad you saw this prompt. :D

Thank you! I made more hair, just with you in mind. ;)

I had a lot of fun showing characterisation with sleeping positions! :D Tonks is great for heaping strong colors in there and letting Remus blend in with the furniture next to her.

And that prompt was just right to lure me in.

I love the easy togetherness of their shared nap. Beautiful!

Ah, I was so excited to see someone had used the hygge prompt!! :-)

And now I finally have a chance to come back and say how lovely this is, especially the careful use of color, those little splashes of pink at every edge of Tonks – her feet, her head, the cup down on the floor beside her. Super sweet and lovely to look at. Really delightful!

Well, I am from Denmark, so I kind of had to use it. ;)

And thank you so much - I'm glad you like the piece. And Tonks is such a good excuse for bright colors. :D

So cute :) Beautiful coloring too, I love Tonks's hair here.
