It's NCBD, so what better way to celebrate than with the start of a new comic?✨

From @rhinosnax.bsky.social and I, we bring you: KISS THE COOK🍞

We'll be posting 2 pages a day for the next few days to bring you this quaint queer tale. For today, here's the cover!

Always in doubt too, even because every image is different and if it's a comig page then...

Telênia Albuquerque @tealb.bsky.social · Dec 4

this sort of thing still gets me too, we get so caught up in the hardships that it's always an important reminder

Telênia Albuquerque @tealb.bsky.social · Dec 2

Extremely on point!

Hello! Sounds like an exciting project, haven't tried art nouveau in a while, but I love trying different historical periods.

Bust portrait of Natek from the novel In the Roses of Pieria, in an ancient mosaic style. She has a mediterranean complexion, black hair in a braid, brown eyes and wears a blue, white and silver linothorax with a bullhead in the breastplate. Her name is written in the background and there's a golden bee seal in each corner.

An Elizabethan style half body portrait of Queen Sabran from The Priory of The Orange Tree. Her title and age are stated in gold against a dark blue background, she wears a scarlet and gold gown with a black, gold and pearls frontpiece. She also wears a scarlet and pearls tiara, her hair is down in a princess hairtyle. She has black hair, white skin and green eyes. She holds a red rose in her right hand in front and orange blossoms in her left hand behind her back. A gold arch frames the picture.

Queen Aella, from my first webcomic Amazonomachy, in a lineless style. She has bronzed skin, black hair, green eyes, aquiline nose and a strong jaw. She wears golden earrings and her long sleeved white tunic has golden details. She has a orange and golden sash around her waist, her trousers are white, red and golden geometrically patterned. And she wears a blue and gold short cape. She's leaning against a column and the walls have geometric and horse paintings. She's facing the light.

Hades and Persephone, they both have eyes closed, Persephone leans on him/her and is embraced in return while Hades covers them with a black shroud with a white flower pattern underneath. Persephone has a rosy complexion while Hades is completely pale. Their hairs are dark, but Persephone get's lighter brown in the tips. They wear Bronze Age tunics, all black with white and silver geometrical details. Persephone wears a golden girdle.

I have a one-track mind and this made me think of the locked tomb 😅

Telênia Albuquerque @tealb.bsky.social · Nov 25

Oh that explains a lot 😅

Telênia Albuquerque @tealb.bsky.social · Nov 25

Telênia Albuquerque @tealb.bsky.social · Nov 25

For some reason I have a hard time making fanart of stuff I like too much. Maybe it's about feeling something is already so good I don't have much to add to it? Guess what has always moved me to create the most is frustration lol
