Green Hill is a tourist hotspot for its wild formations and great weather. It's not uncommon to find most sapients enjoying the sun and waterfalls... But sometimes a cold front comes and brings snow! It melts pretty quickly, so catching it once the weather warms up is said to bring good luck.
Bark is thrilled to find something that reminds him of home in this normally subtropical landscape, stripping down to feel the coolness on his body. Bean isn't quite as keen on it, but that spark of awe in the big lug's eyes more than makes up for a few chilly moments. He seems even distracted enough by it that as he's coming up from behind, he can't help but press close and cuddle~
asked for some cuteness of Bean hugging Bark from behind, and asked if I could incorporate snow somehow. This was a fun process! First I decided that Bark should be kneeling so that Bean's head wasn't up against his ass. For the snow, I found a snow model that works in a block pattern, so I placed it under the leaves to represent a partial melt. That way it looks like Bark is showing off the great find, while Bean just gets to be a cuddly goober~
Thank you for the request!

SFM renders prominently featuring these characters are within Inkbunny ACP guidelines as the models were a custom commission.

Please support the SFM Creators currently being attacked on this site. Commission them if possible, and post their works on your pages--you are allowed to do this under the 'Made For You' rule. Open-Source and purchased SFM models are simply resources used to create a full piece just like special brushes in Clip Studio Paint. If Artificial Intelligence generated images are allowed on this site, SFM works which take much more effort--posing models, adjusting to avoid clipping, positioning lighting, etc.--have no reason to be illegal simply due to lack of ownership of the resources. There is no ownership in AI, therefore it should not be held in higher regard than Open-Source SFM.
