finished yet another drawing! I really am on a hot streak right now
so these are two Animal Crossing OCs of mine whom are very special to me, Daniel and Amelia. the latter has never actually appeared in an AC game but the former is my New Leaf mayor. as a kid I decided one day that I wanted them to be a couple (I actually have written/started a fanfic about how they met) and ever since I've been enamored with drawing them together and seeing others draw them together.
thing is, I haven't drawn them in the same pic together since 2016?? I honestly can't believe it's been that long. but I wanted to do it again so here we are!
since I would like to start writing my own visual storybooks based on my fan/fics, I'll create a short story for this drawing!
After a long and tiring day of performing his mayoral duties, Daniel finally had some time to himself. Taking a quiet stroll around the town in the wee hours of the evening was always the best way to unwind. He walked to his favorite spot in the town: a small, open, grassy area with the perfect window to the wonders of the sky and the great beyond. As an aspiring astronomer, Daniel always appreciated having a wide open view of the stars. When he arrived to this spot, he noticed that Amelia had already made herself comfortable there, complete with a blanket, a plate of macarons, and a bottle of sparkling juice. She seemed to be expecting him.
"Oh, hey! There you are!" She patted the blanket with her hand. "How did the sports fair go?"
Daniel sat down on the blanket and sighed. "It went well! But despite the fact that I didn't participate myself, I'm absolutely tuckered out." He laughed, "I don't know how those jocks do it. Just watching them wears me out!"
"I know how those athletic events can be," Amelia agreed. "I like sports as much as the next guy, but sometimes the excitement and noise can be a bit much to handle. And I'm used to lots of noise, so I can't imagine how exhausted you must be."
"Yeah..."
He took off his hat, sat it down on the blanket, and leaned back a bit with his eyes closed. She could tell that Daniel was exhausted, and even though he tried to maintain his positive and cheery attitude as usual, he desperately needed a rest.
"I hope I'm not intruding on your personal time."
He glanced over at her. "No, you're fine! I'm actually really enjoying the peace and quiet. Your presence is no bother."
His modesty would never let him express anything more, but she could tell that he, very much so, appreciated her being there with him. Daniel always enjoyed his personal space, and he did spend much of his time in solitude, but he never turned down an opportunity to spend time with Amelia. He had a great deal of love for her, so while he would never admit it, her presence was always a source of comfort for him.
The sun started to go down, and a few stars peeked through the still glowing stratosphere. "Care to lie down?" Daniel turned around and noticed that Amelia was lying down beside him, munching on a macaron. He lay down as well, "Sure." He felt her gently grab his hand, and suddenly all of his stress melted away. The sky was a magnificent canvas of purples and yellows, occasionally masked with wispy clouds, and he felt as if he could soar among them. He wasn't thinking about the rowdiness of the town plaza or the competitive and energetic nature of his animal neighbors, rather a quiet present in which he could indulge in his love of nature and, of course, his best friend.
As they laid there, listening to the soft sounds of flowing water from the river and gentle winds dancing with the trees and flowers, Daniel offered a sigh of relief, for all was well and peaceful once again.
I can’t wait to see what you draw next. 
This made me so happy seeing today! <3
