Week 104! (Patreon)

This panel comes from comic 233 - At First Sight, from the twelfth arc at the Museum where Lucy is first introduced to everyone.

I've gone into what little I could recall about Bruce and Lucy's relationship budding here already in a previous update, so there isn't much more to elaborate on on that specifically. This panel in particular though was pretty fun to draw, both back then and for this redraw, at least. It takes inspiration obviously from your stereotypical anime falling-in-love scene where the background goes all pink and white, there's sparkles/fuzzy dots here and there, and the whole thing has gone blurry for some reason, a weird over-the-top exaggeration of things that's pretty common with anything related to Bruce. 

Also a good excuse to draw a confused and cute Gus in the background there. Very light and mild inspiration from Matt from earlier Concession with the "mew?" and confused, innocent sort of look, if I remember. And two other tiny tidbits of trivia for this panel are that 1) this I think is the only real panel that got an 'edit' by somebody, when someone asked for permission to make a "Homestuck" version of it (which you can find on Google Images I think), and 2) the tooltip is a play off a quote from a specific Johnny Bravo episode.
