This valentine's day, something I've never attempted before: characters interacting romantically/affectionately (also a new character design, the blue boy's called Salma; also also a secondary challenge to come up with a different lighting scenario for every sketch)

Five digital sketches of Miriel, a red-haired forest elf lady, and Salma, a merman loosely styled after an orca, having affectionate interactions. Each sketch has a unique lighting scenario.
1. Miriel carrying Salma in her arms, both looking in each other's eyes with a smile. Bright sunlight on a beach.
2. Salma tackling Miriel to the ground to plant a kiss on her cheek. Overcast and rainy.
3. Salma lying down with his head in Miriel's lap, who's sitting back against a tree and playing with Salma's hair. Moonlit night.
4. Kissing while sitting on the floor in a firelit indoor space.
5. Salma emerging from the water, touching the face and looking down into the eyes of Miriel who's lying on her back on the grassy shore. Warm early sunset light.
