Hey, #webcomicday! I make an early '00s romance comic called "B-SIDE You"! A young man with a troubled past befriends a nerdy TA and, through the power of music and believing in each other, accidentally fall into feelings!

bsideyoucomic.com
patreon.com/kcdstudios

Also on Tapas + Webtoon!

A mostly red graphic featuring three characters from the webcomic "B-SIDE You" - Alden (who has glasses, thick black hair and a worried expression), Marceau (curly blonde hair and a mischievous smile), and Danny (a tall blonde mohawk and a cheeky grin). The text reads "B-SIDE You - A Webcomic by Kaycie D."

A panel of "B-SIDE You" featuring Danny and his bandmates playing a rock song

A panel from "B-SIDE You" where Danny denies having a crush on his TA and Marceau teases him about it

Danny and Alden, the main characters from "B-SIDE You", are bathed in blue moonlight as they look passionately at each other through half-lidded eyes.

#Posttober25 Day 8

I’ve been trying to do colored versions of some of the B-SIDE You track covers! Here’s Track 5 :D

A predominantly red illustration of a young brunette man with glasses seated before the keys of a piano. He holds his hands over it tentatively, looking apprehensive. Behind him, shrouded behind a spotlight, are two thin young men standing back to back. On the left is a blonde man in a white shirt holding a camera and looking over his shoulder out at the viewer. On the right is a guy with a big fluffy mohawk haircut, wearing a red vinyl catsuit a la Britney Spears in the “Oops! I Did It Again” music video. The text at the bottom of the page, under the piano keys, is dark red and says "B-SIDE YOU"

#posttober25 One week down! Turns out writing all your post copy text, alt text, and prepping your files ahead of time is like, really helpful!

A square graphic with a purple background and gold frame. In big gold letters, the title says "Posttober 2025". Text beneath says "Every day in October, post (or re-post) a piece of artwork you've made to your social media! Use #posttober25". Beneath it is a list of numbers from 1-31.

"1. Aximili & Mytaya”
“2. Late Starters Banner”
“3. Andalite Husbands”
“4. Clopin”
“5. DnDB Character Lineup”
“6. You’re a Snake (Juice)”
“7. KT Guest Comic”

#Posttober25 Day 7

Guest comic for “Keeping Time” by @kodyisover.com (a fantastic gay bummer music romance webcomic you should all be reading immediately kthx) :D

RIP Vine. And Denver.

A five-panel comic in shades of blue.

Panel 1: Two young men in a back alley. Daniel is sitting on a staircase smoking a cigarette, and Denver is further away on a skateboard and waving his arms. Text says “DanielDanielDanielDaniel watch this!”  Panel 2: Medium shot of Denver looking SO COOL and concentrating.

Panel 3: Denver’s shoes and a skateboard flipping around. Big words “KICK FLIP” surround the skateboard and there is “HELL YEAH” written on the bottom of the board.

Panel 4: Daniel wincing as sharp bubbles read “CRASH!” “Ahhhggh” and “Merreoww!”  Panel 5: Daniel grinning and saying “I thought you said you could do a kick flip” and it’s cut off by Denver, off-screen, saying “I CAN!! I did one this MORNING!” A startled tabby cat runs across the frame from offscreen.

#Posttober25 Day 6

The “Snake Juice” scene from Parks and Recreation, with Arcane characters.

This was a DUMB idea I had earlier in the year and had to make an animatic about it. Maybe I will finish it one day x_x

#Posttober25 Day 5

A lineup of character art from “Dungeons & Dracon Beams”, an Animorphs AU D&D podcast. @dndbpod.bsky.social

Working on this commission was SO much fun. I adore these kids. I’m so glad I eventually got over my fear of drawing shoes.

An illustration of an Andalite - a centaur-like alien creatures with blue fur and four eyes (two on eye stalks).

A lineup of five human teenagers. The first is Zac: A lanky, pale blond boy wearing a colorful shirt, cargo pants, Van sneakers, and holding a phone and a skateboard. The second is Dylan: a pale girl with chin-length black hair cut into a side shave. She’s wearing a black and red top with mesh accents, torn black jeans, and combat boots with red laces, and holding a phone and some car keys. The third is Kamren: A sturdy boy with light brown skin, medium-length brown hair and a grin. He’s wearing a white and sky blue letterman jacket, blue jeans, white and blue sneakers, and is holding a football. The fourth is Savannah: A tanned girl with longer brown hair and a foreboding expression. She’s wearing a baggy black cargo jacket over a green shirt, jeans, and hiking boots. A dog leash and doggy bags are sticking out of the coat pockets. The last one is mAx: a boy with lighter brown skin and reddish brown hair, wearing a colorful button up over a bright orange t-shirt, bright blue cargo shorts, and yellow Converse shoes. He’s contorted his body into a weird, wobbly pose, and he’s holding a white paper bag that says “Miko’s Malasadas” on it.

The same lineup of human teenagers, but they are all wearing morph outfits. Zac’s is a black long-sleeved shirt that says “Nice is Neat” and black skinny jeans. Dylan’s is a long-sleeved athletic crop top and black shorts that go to mid-thigh. Kamren’s is a gray long-sleeved athletic shirt and knee-length basketball shorts. Savannah has a black sports bra and hi-rise leggings with a mesh accent. mAx has black bike shorts and a white t-shirt that says “The Gardens” on it in purple font surrounded by lime green animal footprints.

#Posttober25 Day 4

Fanart of Clopin from Disney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame”.

Another Art Corner result. The theme was “Jesters, Clowns, and Harlequins”. I love a chaotic jester bard who will also kill you without batting an eye.

Fanart of Clopin from Disney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame”. He is a darker skinned man with shoulder-length black hair, and is wearing a jester’s outfit in purple, gold, and black. He has a hand puppet on his right hand that looks like him, and is talking to it.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Animated banner for “Late Starters: A Pokemon TTRPG Podcast.” @thelatestarters.bsky.social

I’d been working on this banner for like TWO YEARS and finally finished it this summer. I used ToonSquid, which is an iPad animation app that I HIGHLY recommend! Finished in Photoshop.

And it just updated this week!

Happy #webcomicday!

FAMILIAR is an (explicit! adults only!) erotic comic about magic, sex, and life-work balance. It's queer and kinky. It's poly-friendly. And it's ✨free to read online✨ (or read the whole thing for $2 on Patreon + tons of additional content)

Links at familiarcomic.com 🐈‍⬛

Advert for Familiar. It reads: adults only! explicit erotica! slice of life! lgbtq+ leads! lifestyle bdsm! cozy kink! ...and there's evena plot! When career-driven editor Diana Vallejo accidentally summons a familiar whose specialty is soft domination, her life takes a turn for the better - but for how long?

jack and rosemary clink champagne glasses while diana lays across their laps, nude, in bondage, with a ball-gag in.

rosemary in a pentagram harness and black heels sits on a fainting couch while freddi and diana, both nude and in lingerie and harnesses, lounge against her.

a page from Familiar chapter 15 WET. Diana and Rosemary smooching. Diana is in bondage. Rosemary gropes her breasts. Freddi (in bondage) and Jack watch.
