This is a scrapped project from Feb. 2018.
As you can probably suspect, this was originally meant to be a fun little Valentine's Day project for that year. But as typical of my many scrapped projects, at some point down the line, I lost interest in this project and eventually stopped working on it entirely.
The star of this show is definitely the little "toy" I created, 100% from scratch. I was actually very proud of being able to make such a thing, and was excited to show it off. Actually, all the time and effort I put into learning how to make that toy (and then actually making it) is probably what drained my interest in this project in the first place. When I finished creating it, I felt like I was more or less "done" with this project and was ready to move on. Kind of a weird mental block but that's how my brain works I guess. Aside from the toy, I did learn several other techniques while working on this project, mostly regarding how to get interesting looking effects applied to the skin.
There would've been another story/mini-comic going on here (this was from that period of time when I was still doing those mini-comics). Pretty simple stuff: Rykarr is alone on date night, and decides to take matters into his own hands. Though I didn't really read into the "story" I had going on here at the time, I do think it's important that you learn how to love yourself first, before thinking about being able to love someone else and giving them your best. This is a pretty cheeky example of that, but I think that little life lesson still applies.
Would I ever remake this project or "finish" it some day? Probably not. I've definitely moved on from this one.
