Hey all! I'm Cranebones, creator of the webcomic Grand Sol!

Wanna read a drama exploring trans identity, generational curses, and the heartbreak that is the fight between Duty and Self-Actualization?

There are demons involved.

Check it out on Tapas! 👹🔪
tapas.io/series/grand...

#webcomic #comic
Sunwoo, a young man with an eyepatch covering his left eye lightly holds a knife in his right hand while his left hand gently lifts the necktie of Hajun, the man sitting in front of him. Behind them, the sun is setting over a city, its light forming a halo of sorts around Sunwoo's head. Poses are a reference to the Bernini sculpture "The Ectasy of Saint Theresa" A young man in a hospital gown and an oxygen mask pulls himself up from bed to confront a young woman sitting at his bedside. With a raspy voice, he says, "Who the hell are you?! What the fuck is going on?! It was you, wasn't it?" A flashback sequence showing two men on a bed, one atop the other. They are holding hands with their fingers intertwined. In the present, someone asks "What you felt for Jang Gunwoo... Was it pity or something else?" A young man shifts his gaze from a paint in front of him to the man beside him. He says, with a cryptic smile, "Jun. Who would you hate first? The world or yourself?"

Marc (offscreen, opponent) throws Gabi's (childlike nb cyborg) disk body back at them, which Gabi narrowly catches. Gabi exclaims "dammit, his aura is still strong...!" which is followed by the magenta + gold Spiritual Will aura (manifested via Marc + other priests's power, tho the other priests are down so it's theoretically just Marc now) gaining strength again from behind. it's nighttime outdoors.

Grand Sol averages about 40 pages per chapter, which then gets divided into around 4~5 episodes on Tapas.

I wish I was better at this kind of thing, but a thank you illustration!

DemonDog! Hajun and Sunwoo (in Gunwoo's body) catching some ZZZs. These two have gone through a lot these past 10 chapters.

#comic #webcomic
A canine demon with three heads, wings, and a serpentine tail is curled up in slumber. One of its arms is curmed around a sleeping Sunwoo (in Gunwoo's body). While most of the demon's eyes are closed, the wings that shield them both have eyes that watchfully gaze in different directions

#TheTitan is a post-apoc dramedy romance between a guy having a bad day and a girl having a bad time (big difference)

Promo image taken from the comic update. An eccentric looking old man focuses on an eyedropper of liquid and a beaker in his hands as he addresses someone off-panel: Yeah, sure, don't even bother knocking. Not like I'm ever handling corrosives that'll melt the skin clear off my hands or anything like that.

I'll have to cook up a proper thank you pic for 100 subs later.

BUT! In the meantime, have a super early preview of a page from the cat cafe AU!
A WIP of a page from the Cat Cafe AU Sunwoo looks distressed as he asks Gunwoo what happened. Gunwoo is lying on a couch, his right foot elevated and in an ankle brace. He has several bandaids on his arms and face. Samsek the cat is curiously checking out the state of Gunwoo's foot. Gunwoo laughs nervously and explains that he was helping Sangha carry some boxes, but he tripped on a cat and fell. Sunwoo guesses that the reason why Gunwoo didn't see the cat in time was because he was distracted by his crush (Sangha), which Gunwoo confirms.

first panel is Gabi (childlike nb cyborg) POV looking at Marc (masked + hooded priest guy) with no marking (unlike the other priests whom Kari gave a marking to). Gabi's separated body pieces are also floating around connected by a blue aura + electrical lines, and i lowkey chose to feature this panel just to show off this effect haha 💦 the next 2 smaller panels on the right are Kari (Gabi's fighting partner; a trans guy + also Marc's "wife") giving excuses on how "it's not important", but Gabi insists on Kari giving them a mark

Zero context, but I don't think cat-lovers need context for this.

Working on a B+W comic where people mostly wear formal suits is actually easy mode.

Working in color where the characters don't have to abide by a specific dress code: surprisingly hard???

What kind of clothes would they wear? What color palettes do they like? What kind of shoes??!!?

Top right - Gunwoo sitting cross-legged with a tuxedo cat on his lap and a maine coon to his right. He is holding a cup of coffee that the maine coon is sniffing. Middle left - Hajun is standing, wearing an apron. He is holding a black cat in his right arm and has a white cat scooped up under his right arm. Bottom right - Sunwoo is happily spinning around, holding an orange tabby in the air.

Cat Cafe AU where none of that sad shit happened!
Graphic design is my Achilles' Heel, but I'm kinda happy with how the UwU Cat Cafe logo turned out.

first panel is Gabi (childlike nb cyborg) snapping back together their cyborg body parts, telling Kari (blue bubbles, offscreen) that his husband (their opponent) "doesn't even want to fight you-" in which Kari tries to negotiate w/ Gabi to "trust [him on this...") (Kari is trying to get Gabi off of his husband bc he doesn't want to tell Gabi about the lethal weak spot)

There are now 3 full chapters (that's 106 pages!!) of completely free-to-read KEEPING TIME, the queer, slow burn between two former friends and now current bandmates who - for better or worse - fall in love.

#KeepingTime #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com
A comic page from KEEPING TIME. Daniel, a Japanese American man, sits on stage at a grand piano and stares out in disbelief at Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo who looks equally stunned. A caption title says, "CHAPTER 1: 2:45 AM" A second panel. Denver llifts the lid of a dumpster, while two figures stand behind him in a dark alleyway. A third panel. Denver lights both his cigarette and that of Daniel's. Denver says, "I'm impressed, y'know," while Daniel answers with a, "Hmm?" A final panel. Denver motions towards Daniel with his lit cigarette while Daniel smiles gently.

Hmmm should I share more #HBHS art early? What should I share? Maybe if you suggest a character archetype I'll show you what we've got that matches or is close to it :O

Cranebones rejoices a milestone in his student loan debt paying journey, where his loans have gone down from being six figures to five. The main characters of Grand Sol applaud the achievement.

Ever have one of those moments where your eyes suddenly decide to eye better and your ears decide to ear better?

So suddenly everything is very bright and very loud??

Hajun and Gunwoo doing the sweaty bed tango. Gunwoo reaches up and cups Hajun's face. He asks Hajun to kiss him. Hajun leans down. Gunwoo kisses the palm of Hajun's hand then leans in to rest his head on Hajun's shoulder. Hajun holds Gunwoo tenderly and kisses him on the head
