I'd like them all to be two-person bust sketches, and each an individual piece; two are father/son, and the third one is two people in an awkward courtship (as in the character relationship, not necessarily the pose haha).  They're also all roleplay characters based on real people (for physical looks, anyway).  Let me know if that's problematic for you!  I'm also going to tell you a little bit of the backstory / relationship between the characters, just to help give a frame of reference for expressions / poses.  You can take it or leave it, just want to help by giving the best sort of references I can! :)  These are all going to be fairly happy poses / scenes, from an emotional standpoint.


The first duo, Erie and Ian, are a biological father/son duo that have mostly not been around each other.  Ian's sort of been a semi-absentee father, mostly because of work — he's enlisted in the Marines, and thus has deployed and had that stuff going on.  Erie is still kind of a devoted kid in spite of that, though they're still not entirely comfortable around each other, mostly.  For a pose, I'd like Ian to be ruffling Erie's hair, with Erie appearing to protest / leaning away.  In terms of references, I can't find any pose references (sorry!) but Ian's real-life face is James Badge Dale, and Erie's is Thomas Horn ( https://imgur.com/a/QirjDv9 ).  Clothing-wise, basically just a T-shirt for Ian, and


For the second pair, Tony and Stapler, Tony adopted Stapler (not actually officially, more like just ... organically, since Tony's a bleeding heart and Stapler's home life was nonexistent) when he was about 16.  Tony is kind of a genuinely good person (help a granny cross the street kind of good person, he's Pure), and Stapler is basically "a little shit" personified.  For the pose,


And for the last one, Sparrow and Griffin, it's kind of an awkward courtship, not-quite-serious-relationship between an asexual guy (Sparrow) and a hyper-sexed dragon in a human skin (Griffin).  It's an oddly pure / wholesome relationship in spite of the entire circumstance, though Griffin often makes Sparrow uncomfortable, mostly just because he's a bit of an ass.  For the pose, I'd like to have Sparrow talking about something excitedly, with Griff listening, resting his chin on his hand,
