The Swing - Tumblr Posts

This was a challenge from the OFF Amino where we had to draw or animate our Elsens dancing. So here’s Shane and Matcha doing the swing dance. I feel like Shane would be teaching Matcha how to do the Swing. But can I just say, the swing dance is very beautiful in a way. The last photo is my reference photo. Yes I used a reference, sue me. Matcha belongs to @constellation-elsen Shane is my mute boi

"This is just an innocent, family-friendly painting."

Yeah... no.

If you take a closer look at it you can easily observe a lot of suspicious details.

The Lady is swinging from one man to another. She's playing them both.
