WIP Reincarnation Illustration

I decided to start refining this piece and turn it into an illustration. I'll post a step-by-step process once I'm done, but this is where I'm at now.

Twinning.

These inseparable friends can be found together at all times, on and off duty. There's something admirable about their friendship.
