Last Nice Day - Beach Time

"Ran... it's the last day of summer. That means no shirts allowed."
"You know summer ended a little less than a month ago, right?"
"..."

Poor Jessica.

"Last Nice Day - Beach Time!"

Meet Jessica and Ran, my two newest OCs. They don't have much of a story yet, and I'm not sure they ever will. But basically they're new-ish but fast friends. (Maybe a couple/three years?) Jessica is a fox and ran is a Totetsu.
there will be details and possible reference sheets to come, including some strange facts about Ran's necklace, and the difference between Totetsus and Taoties

Summer clothes! To Ran that means nothing, but the Jessica it means a chance to see Ran shirtless We won't see Jessica's clothes change much until winter, as she barely wears more than this to begin with. ( Jessica's original design can be found here: [link] )

This piece was actually inspired by a really nice day early this month, and the fact that I was doodling with a new character design. This is actually Ran's first-ever drawing :3
It was a surprisingly warm day, considering the bitterly cold week that had proceeded this, and I thought "This will be a perfect 'last really nice day before the cold hits' piece!" But it wasn't until a couple of days ago that I was inspired to finish it by a REALLY nice (80 degrees, people) Thursday this week, and again yesterday.

But I think this really was the last NICE nice day for the year DX

Enjoy, and go get outside and play in some leaves!!
