Nearly finished this 😌 comic antagonist Oliver Graham and his younger self. I attempted a hat.

I want to do some more like this 🤔 maybe later!
A digital WIP of two versions of Oliver Graham, a man with light brown hair and pale blue eyes. On the left is his younger self, wearing an 1800s police uniform and holding a revolver. His hair is dishevelled, and he looks horrified. On the right is an older version of him, now dressed in a dapper vest, frock coat, tophat, and puff tie. His hair is greying a bit. He's drawing a cane sword and smiling smugly.

Haha, now I have some random stuff to share before bed 😏.

Graham plus himself twentyish years earlier during the only moment of his life in which he wondered if he was maybe a bad person.
A rough red digital sketch of the same man twice over, once as a young man wearing a police uniform, his hair dishevelled and eyes wide. Next, as an older man, looking much more put together in a frock coat and tie, with a sardonic smile.

Cutest Ayla I got right now 😔
Greyscale digital drawing of a cute, chibi-fied young girl with short, messy hair and a hair ... ribbon? Headband? Idk I'm real tired and words are hard.

This is the only one I have finished and ready to post at the moment and it's a little old now but hey 😌
A digital illustration. Luca, a scrawny white person with chin-length brown hair, sits on the floor. They're entirely nude if you don't include the leather cuffs at their wrists and the black ropes tied around them. One hand holds a book open against their thigh, as if they'd been interrupted while reading. The other hand is up, near their chest, though it's not exactly hiding anything. Luca's yellow eyes look up at the camera defiantly, and their face is flushed.

Is this an immensely impractical outfit for stealth? Yes

Do I wanna find an excuse to draw it more anyway? Also yes
The same jester-rogue outfit but viewed from the back this time, showing off the cap and bells-esque details on the hood and the waist sash.

I will not explain further okay goodnight
Greyscale digital comic wip of Monty, a young man with long wavy hair in a ponytail and an incredibly smug grin. For some reason, he's dressed like a cross between a jester and maybe a low-level dnd rogue?

Putting Monty into other comic's settings so he can cause problems
Greyscale comic panel of Monty with his most obnoxious grin, cutting off Vale's very valid line of questioning.

Gonna let this marinate overnight and then post it on Patreon 😌

Questions my partner has to deal with:
"People aren't going to be weird about Caspian's cock, right?"
He said no, but--
Cropped digital illustration of a man with long red hair, red eyes and vampire fangs. He's wearing a muzzle and a flustered expression. Someone is grabbing the muzzle and pulling his face up towards them.

"More, please." 🥺

I'll finish this tomorrow 😌.
A cropped digital drawing of a man with long red hair and vampire fangs, wearing a muzzle and nothing else. He has a large burn scar over the left side of his chest, and his arms are tied behind his back. There are some bloody bite marks on his neck. Someone off screen has grabbed the muzzle to pull his face upwards, and he looks up with a flushed, desperate expression.

Finally got this whole Caspian vampire thing to work out! Trying something different with lineart today too, we'll see how that works out.

🔥 art train 🔥

Share 4 pieces & tag 4+ artists!

Uhhh I kind of don't want to tag anyone, I have no more brain power to think about that.

Have some sexy silly Monty and Caspian with bonus Lana doing a crime 🥲.
A digital illustration. Monty, a trans man with blue-tinted hair, rides on the lap of Caspian, a taller cis man with long red hair in a ponytail. They're both completely naked. There's a passionate but one-sided kiss between them. One of Monty's hands is resting on Caspian's chest, and the other is tangled up in his hair as if he's about to pull it. Monty looks slyly towards the viewer, not meeting the Caspian's enraptured gaze. A messy red digital sketch of two men, one tall with a long ponytail and the other shorter with chin length hair. The shorter man has one hand on the other's chest and is looking down at something between them, off screen, with a delighted smile. The taller man is visibly embarrassed. A cropped digital drawing of two long-haired men embracing, their foreheads touching. They're both blushing up to their ears, sweating and panting. One says, "Is this what you call a desk job?" As he grins up at the other, who keeps his eyes closed to avoid making eye contact. "Please stop talking." Lana, a young, curvy woman with long blonde hair, is sitting precariously on the edge of a dock by some moonlit water. She's entirely nude, with both arms brushing her hair over her shoulders. She's looking offscreen at an approaching orange light, with a smile of barely contained excitement.

Montavious Birch vs. Oliver Graham

Restless wandering radical vs. Preemptive political parvenu

Both smug as hell.
Monty, a young man with long wavy hair in a ponytail. Oliver Graham, a middle-aged white man with pale eyes and sideburns.

Also been great for getting a quick design down for important characters that haven't shown up yet!
A greyscale digital drawing of three chibi-fied character portraits. From left to right: a young man with floppy hair, a beauty mark on his lip, and thick eyebrows. An older man with a full beard and moustache and a beauty mark under his eye. Another older man with a greying beard and freckles, wearing a scowl and a flatcap.

Here's the flashback panel by itself 😉 Perhaps someone will recognize the doorway from elsewhere in chapter 5?
A sepia-toned flashback comic panel. Monty, a young man with a coat and bag ready for travelling, walks into the rain while carrying a bundle in his arms. On the steps of the quarry stone building behind him, Zendaya, a dark-skinned woman wearing a long skirt and puff sleeved blouse, looks over her shoulder at him as he leaves.

I'm trying my best 😭

You know that whole "It's weird that vampires are always so messy when drinking blood"? Yea no that makes perfect sense for Monty though, he's a messy guy. In so many ways.

Anyways!
A digital WIP of Monty, a young trans man with tanned skin and long dark hair. He's wearing an off-white regency-era shirt that has slipped off one shoulder. He has vampire fangs, red eyes, and a bit of blood on his mouth, and his face is flushed.

Fuck it, out of context wip since I'm stuck in bed for a minute.

I'm bored 😩
A cropped digital drawing of a man with short brown hair, blue eyes, and just a little bit of five o'clock shadow. He's wearing an off-white striped shirt with a soft collar and an unbuttoned red-brown vest. He's grinning like a dork. Text nearby reads "Idiot since birth," with an arrow pointing at the man.

Took a break from comic pages to draw a tiny Caspian instead 😌

Okay goodnight 🧡
Cropped digital drawing of a boy with tanned skin and red hair in a half ponytail. He's wearing a grey school uniform that looks kind of like it has a clerical collar.

I don't know if this man is capable of being honest on purpose
Monty, a young man with long wavy hair in a ponytail, wearing a shirt with a high collar and a vest, leans forward with a hand on his hip. "Bold of you to assume I feel guilt."
