When one of the artists fracture their thumb and comic planning ends up.. A little rough 🤣
A really Really rough sketch of a comic page with some sort of 90s meme face at the top left (you know the one with the lazors) and a small "omg" above the shocked lazor face as their eyes shoot at some horned creature in the opposite corner. Then there is a closeup of a suspicious person saying: "you look familiar dude" in shaky left-handed writing, and a moustacheoed potato with a little hair tuft and little horn nubs saying: "Pls babe... Hah am totes cool yo"

We saw this layout by @o0_sigsi over on X and couldn’t help ourselves but give it ago. Wanna guess how Whittle got himself into this situation? And.. is that a painting of Riét!?
Keep an eye out for our Patreon for your much needed answers 👀

An alternative looking red-skinned tiefling with grey hair half up in a bun and a glorious moustache, walking past a painting and smearing blood across it. His shirt is torn and bloodied and many of his old scars are showing. The painting looks to be a classic oil portrait of a lady with brown hair, green eyes and a little mole on her cheek. The portrait is hanging on a damask wallpaper wall, surrounded by teal curtains. Simple layout of a character touching a portrait painting, surrounded by curtains. The layout is by @o0_sigsi_ on twitter Whittle, the red-skinned tiefling with grey hair half up in a bun, a glorious moustache and several piercings on his ears, eyebrow and lower lip, is walking past a blank wall and smearing blood across it. His shirt is torn and bloodied and many of his old scars are showing. The wall has teal to green damask wallpaper, surrounded by shiny teal curtains. A painting of a slightly androgynous looking lady with slightly pointed ears, jet earrings and choker and a red puff-sleeved dress. She has her brown, curly hair done up in a tall up-do and there's a little beauty spot under her right eye. That's probably put there for flair, right? She seems to be looking out of the painting with a very slight smile on her otherwise pouted lips. The look on her face says she knows something no one else does.

Sketches in black ballpoint pen on white paper. Top left has a portrait of an androgynous half elf with long light hair. Bottom right has a portrait of a handsome tiefling with a moustache and several piercings in their pointed ears, as well as snake bites and an eyebrow piercing. In the top right and bottom left the two of them are nearly kissing. Top has the half elf gripping the shirt of the tiefling and smiling against his lips, and the bottom has the two of them horisontal with the tiefling leaning over the half elf and stroking their hair out of the way.

See a hug, post a hug.
A red skinned, grey haired tiefling with a moustache, looking exhausted and traumatised as he is hugging a fair skinned half-elf with long blonde hair. The half-elf looks like they've been worried about the tiefling man, and relieved to be hugging him.

Where it all began 💕

Whittle and Riét met at this Halloween one shot, and immediately hit it off. We couldn't not continue their story!

A uke bard in preparation for @cherryrabbu.bsky.social 's one-shot next month! Impossibly excited for the spooky chaos 💜
Sketchbook containing a pale, platinum blonde, half elf bard person of (hopefully) indeterminate gender. Androgyny will never mot be hard to pull off. They're wearing an extravagant purple and gold, baroque pattern tunic over a simple linen shirt and trousers. They're grinning at you cheekily, playing a small ukulele, or maybe they've just decided to switch things up with some fingerpicking on a plain looking viol. What a rebel.

Character study of a friend's OC, Whittle ❤️

Hyperfocused on this for a week! It took that long, even with tracing the faces on top of images of Aaron Taylor Johnson.

I don't do tracing usually, but it saved my sanity in this, and I learnt so much from it.

11 different angles and slightly different expressions of the same dark red skinned tiefling. He's got grey hair, half tied up in a man bun, little bull horns, which suits him because he's a bit like that, and a glorious handlebar moustache. He's also got several piercings: 3 cartilage piercings in each pointed ear, one hoop in his left eyebrow, snakebites, and one bar through each nipple. He wears a cream shirt with subtle pinstripes in some of the images, a light brown waistcoat over in one, and some matching trousers in another. There's one where he's entirely nude only covered by a cheeky looking smiley, because censorship is still a thing, and if you want to see naked stuff you'll have to pay the artist to show you, or draw you some. They'll be happy to, just send Valadomi a dm asking for a saucy commission. Yep, I'm using the alt text to shamelessly plug my work. I'm a struggling artist, I'm not ashamed of my methods as long as it gets me paid. Saying that there's probably only 3 people reading these, and one of them is me for spell checking, so not great odds there, but still. Anyway, hope you enjoy the imagery of the handsome tiefling man, I sure am.

Whittle and Riét, the crook and the Charlatan ❤️
Whittle and Riét, the crook and the charlatan, looking lovingly into each other's eyes. Whittle is a red skinned tiefling with shoulder length grey hair and handlebar moustache, snakebites and three piercings in his pointy ear. His horns are bull-like, matching his usual demeanour, although not today. Today he's smiling suggestively at Riét - a fair skinned half-elf with green eyes and long blonde hair. They look pretty androgynous but otherwise have no distinguishing features that can be seen here. Not a bad look to have for a con artist. They're biting their lip and looking up into Whittle's glowing yellow eyes.
