Okay! After having a wide-variety of things pointed out to me, and spending an hour last night with my tired-but-mostly-biddable sweetheart, I've some different options for how to have the guy sit.
notice: because of changes in the guy, lady's torso/arm is no longer quite right. I'll fix that *after* I have him down, since he's being way more problematic. Ditto for his left arm. I did work on her foot/leg and move the arm she's leaning on backwards (after E and I both tried it as it was and pronounced it awkward).
Also, the unfortunate tighty-whitey look is just an artifact of me trying to figure out exact hip angles.
Preferences? Which one looks more natural, comfortable, cute... ?
Working this out with Erik last night was a wonderfull lesson in how Different Bodies are Different.
I know, I know, you'd think I'd have figured that out already -- after all, it didn't take me that long to figure out that most people have legs of roughly the same length and ten toes -- but it's worth a reminder, especially when it comes to odd things we don't normally notice, like hip rotation. If E sits with his legs out in front of him, his toes want to turn out. Mine are happy pointing up (I tried to ask about this with regard to knees, but he was exhausted and not really understanding and started to seriously over-splain something about guys and scrotal pressure, which was, er, not what I was asking about at all).

3 it is! It has to wait until next week for any more work, though -- I'm drawing it during down-time at work using the tablet (which is kinda cool, now I think about it -- I'm looking at it week to week and thinking "damn, I'm slow", but I'm really only working in 15-minute chunks).
