He is the only figure. His short blue hair is rendered as dense black spotting with white highlight streaks raked across the crown, the strands pushed back from his forehead and fanned against the pillow-less sheet; his head is tilted slightly to the left in frame, chin lifted, so the column of his throat and the hollow at the base of it catch the light. His eyes are wide open, whites clean and unshaded, pupils fixed straight up into the lens with the wet gleam drawn as two small white dots; his lips are parted a few millimetres, a thin dark line of interior shadow between them, one corner pulled very slightly higher than the other. He wears only the white shirt -- open down the whole front, both halves fallen away to either side of his ribs so the bare chest between them is fully exposed, the sternum and pectorals drawn with clean cel-shadow planes, the fabric wrinkled where he lies on it and creased hard at the shoulders, sleeves bundled around his forearms. Nothing else on him: hips and waist bare where the shirt ends, no waistband, no other garment anywhere in the frame. His arms are flung up above his head, both wrists loose and crossed near the upper edge of the panel so the open sleeves slide back toward his elbows; his weight sinks into the mattress, which compresses in a shallow trough under his shoulder blades and hips, and the sheet ripples outward from his body in radiating folds. A single hard light source sits high and slightly to the right of the frame, striking his face and chest in flat white planes and dropping pure black shadow beside the jaw, under the lower lip, beneath the collarbones and along the left side of each rib; every shadow is a hard-edged cel shape with no gradient, and a crisp cast shadow of his raised forearms falls across the top of his chest. Screentone at a coarse dot size fills the recessed shadows only. Speed lines flick in short strokes at the panel's corners toward his face. A small hand-drawn heart floats in an empty speech bubble beside his cheek. Intimate, charged.
