Without a Trace

Heh, been sitting on this one for a good while, kind of kept considering putting it up and kept going with something or other else instead. Am pretty happy with it despite the delay though, kind of just some goofy fun with Another Code. I really need to actually get around to playing the second game. Kind of came out of the first one (or more accurately the remake of it) pretty, "Eh, sure, that was alright," and kind of just never made the time for the sequel.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 34

Heheh.... Yeah, remember when we got to Erika and Tim as kindergarteners in the second page? It was too cute not to do that again.Just adore how that shot came out, two tykes hiding under the table with their private little playtime. But with this being our new intro to Tim for this comic really dug letting these two interact. Tim is a smartie-pants and wanted to show that off really early. Plus was great watching these two bounce off each other. Wanted to have a "We're on the same wavelength" ...

Daylight Park - Pick Up and Delivery, Page 2

Been wanting to get this one out for a good bit now but kinda got held up by various life circumstances. Might end up doing only one page of some of the comic updates this month, though going to try and get out a second of at least a few of them. At least with this everything's gotten at least one? Eh, is what it is. Either way am already having quite a bit of fun. Glad to finally see Thomas and Dinah's dad after first seeing their mom all the way back in the first chapter.

Fallen Under The Reaper's Curse

It always feels weird when we show off a new property. Sometimes it's something we kinda just drew one time because we thought it'd look cute and we wanted it out our systems, sometimes it's something we've gotten into (to various degrees) and wanna see if folks get excited for. For this one I got a bit into this series, already watched through it twice. It's VERY cute and just soooo painfully innocent. Every time I watch it I think a lot of the Erika comic we're doing as it hits a lot of that ...

In the Land of Challenge

Heh, this one's been sitting for a bit, guess kind of an appropriate time to be posting it in between them just having patched Xenoblade X and 2's anniversary being in a couple of weeks. Actually originally drew these as two separate shots but then decided they combined together pretty well, made for a fun bit. Funny enough do have individual pictures of both of them in progress so I guess look forward to those at some point.

Somebody to Carry Me

First off, a reminder that tomorrow's our cutoff date for this month's Comic of the Month poll! It's still a very close race and one or two votes could completely upend the top slot so if you haven't voted now's the time! More details right here - https://lance-the-young.fanbox.cc/posts/10855894 So yeah, kind of just posting this one now since this update kind of snuck up on us and this was already shaded / dialogued, but am pretty happy with it. Do enjoy doing stuff with Su and glad that now ...

Pre-Champ Page 6-5 (Mastermind)

If anybody hasn't voted in our comic poll,now would be a good time for it. Very down to the wire on a few options, so we're always curious what people are wanting for a Christmas comic next month~ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmrMqEjlxOIop-vQot0GZhEAy3E5HR660FMrmtRjEKKJmIPw/viewform I really wanted to take a moment and show that Lance isn't a sore loser. He gets a little pouty when Sabrina (unintentionally) rubs her victory in his face, but he also genuinely praises her skill and c...

Babies Stay Off The Lawn

Heh. Still need to actually play River City Girls 2 at some point... Either way one villain in that game has a whole song about not wanting people on their lawn, and as that character is also a witch, they clearly have means to ensure people listen to their no-trespassing warnings. These two just have a cute dynamic that makes them primed for padding, so it's fun to put them in this circumstance. Especially given how they've both been comically desensitized to violence to the point that they f...

A Foal's Errand, Page 4

Had some weird headaches with trying to post this one where for some reason it just would not go through. No clue what that was about but it led to tweaking some things until it'd work; we did the show-style outlines and a new thing with multicolored word balloons on this initially but were among the things we left out in trying to figure out what the error was on uploading this. Yeah, I dunno. In either case do hope everybody enjoys this page, pretty happy with it and glad to get the ball roll...

From The Dark Side

Heh. Yeah, Kid Icarus was getting some love lately so wanted to post something showing off just how cute the series can be. Pittoo is a pretty adorable little angel and I kinda love the gag of Palutena dipping the way she does here.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 33

Okay, reminder people, we have a poll for a Christmas comic up for all our supporters! We know there's a bunch of people who haven't voted so get up and vote for this thing, eh? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmrMqEjlxOIop-vQot0GZhEAy3E5HR660FMrmtRjEKKJmIPw/viewform Yeah, those of you following along with the original Erika story might notice that this little store trip was made up for this comic adaptation. The original version had Erika spraying another girl, but that was WAY too m...

Comic of the Month Poll for November 2025

Edit: Accidentally linked to the wrong month's poll when I first set this up, my bad! The link is fixed now, you can find it right here -

https://forms.gle/5rM2hjNryRiR4K5r8

Hey, as a reminder we're changing things up a bit this time around! This month's comic will be Sailor Moon-themed after it and Fire Emblem tied last month, while the poll for this month will instead be to determine our December comic, and we'll likely stick to working one mon...

Filing Error, Page 22

Sorry about the delay on this one; wanted to try to rush it out before the end of the month but then as other projects kind of piled up in need of attention I decided to try to get it out for the 1st, only to run into other stuff in the way. Plus side the delay led to a different approach to how to structure this one. Originally there was going to be a scene change here but while thinking things out decided to go this direction instead, think this should prove more fun.

Disaster Averted

This is another one we did in Clip Studio thus looking different in a few ways. Kind of keep meaning to work on making that a full time transition but it's sort of a big undertaking. Funny, we actually do have a more TotK-themed picture we could submit as a tie-in for the new game (which neither of us is really at all interested in honestly) but this one's been sitting a long time while that one's pretty recent so we decided to go with it instead. Can kind of tell we were mix and matching eleme...

Wakeup Call From a Friend

Figured we'd post a little bonus thing alongside A Balanced Defensive Line today, helped by how we have a few other Chio's School Road pictures sitting anyway. Do really enjoy doing bits like this with these two.

A Balanced Defensive Line, Page 6

Wanted to try and get out the next Misfile page for the first, but it's been a really busy couple of days and now additional life complications have meant it might be delayed a little longer. Going to try and rush through it soon but you know, just a heads up. Plus side I finished this one a couple of days ago and decided to hold off for the start of the month on it so hey, at least we've got something! Counting seeing Eito and Nozomi in page 0 this gets us through the entirety of the SDU (othe...

MelodyBunneh Commission - Weak Little Senshi

As mentioned in the comments on the Fire Emblem comic, we had a tie between it and Sailor Moon for this month's bonus comic so we're doing a Sailor Moon one for November. For now, we figured we'd post this commission we had sitting as a holdover for the folks that voted for it. It was a very competitive competition with a ton of suspense as to who would win and we super appreciate everyone who weighed in.

Comic of the Month 4 - Aging is a Constance Concern

Okay, so kind of some unique circumstances on this month's Comic of the Month - it was a tie! Intensely fierce race the whole way through and it remained in constant limbo what would emerge on top, and ultimately two options shared the top slot, Fire Emblem and Sailor Moon. How we decided to approach this, in conjunction with some other factors, is that we opted to do one of the comics for this month and the other as November's comic, and while we'll still run a poll at the start of next month ...

Daylight Park - Pick Up and Delivery, Page 1

Funny, kind of struggled for awhile now trying to find the time to fit this in and then when we did we wound up bullrushing through it pretty quickly. Sometimes the momentum strikes I guess; this hadn't even been started yet when that Hazbin picture was posted. Speaking of there'll be at least one more comic posted before the month's out so keep an eye out for that. So yeah, new Daylight Park arc is underway! We decided not to do a cover for this one, decided it felt a bit unnecessary especiall...

Wi-Fi vs. Radio Monitors

Admittedly this one's actually been sitting done in the backlogs for a long time and I think it kind of shows, proportions are at this weird in-between where they look kinda close to the show but really aren't actually there. It's a hard look to emulate. So yeah, bonus update for the new season! We weren't really that hyped for it but we did both rather enjoy the premiere so that was fun, looking forward to next week's episodes. Probably a property we'll hit more in the future but not the easie...

OMG These Toys Are Lame

Heheh... Who's excited for the Mortal Kombat Kollection? Yeah, big release and we just happened to have this picture sitting about waiting to be submitted. Sequel to this little diddy of Cassie, Jacqui, and the other Kombat Kids chillaxing together... https://www.deviantart.com/stash/0nptg98b61m This one was drawn in Clip Studio if it looks a bit different, being a brief experiment with the program we did a while back. Do really like the vibe of the Kombat Kids finding themselves in a timelin...

Biohazardous

We were looking around through various pictures we have sitting trying to think of an appropriate one to submit with Halloween coming up, and in looking around at various milestones learned today's the 20th anniversary of the PS2 version of RE4 so hey, that'll work! Kind of did a lot of polishing up on this one right before submitting it - besides writing the dialogue also completely redrew the background which before was kind of just a random featureless hallway, and I did some other tweaks - b...

A Foal's Errand, Page 3

We actually overhauled how we draw these in this page; been drawing them in the differently-colored outlines as we go, but this time around did the whole thing in black and then went over it recoloring the lines afterward. Main reason was because of problems that'd arise later with having too many colors for one vector layer as we see more of the cast, but it also wound up greatly expediting the whole process of getting this out so that was a nice bonus. Does make the backgrounds a little less a...

Erika's New Perfume, Page 32

Well, few of these characters might look a bit familiar... Heh, yeah, this felt like a good excuse for some cameos and call-forwards. Kind of went through a lot of back and forth on how to go about the Geoff and Sin bit in particular, long intended to have them pop up but the specifics of what they were saying went through a few rewrites. Might also recognize the cashier here from a couple of earlier pictures. https://lance-the-young.fanbox.cc/posts/6882840 https://lance-the-young.fanbox.cc/p...

Animlover09 Commission - Stroll

Heh. Looking around for something cute that would fit for the Halloween season and what's better for the witching hour than two little witches from a super-popular Disney cartoon?

First Sippy Cups Then The World

Here's a big red devil to satisfy all you folks for Halloween~ Yeah, Devil Is A Part Timer remains a really fun show (re-watched the first season earlier this year, holds up great) so wanted to take a minute to spotlight Maou real quick given it's the spooky season. We don't do him as much as Emi but he's definitely quite cute himself. Hope everybody enjoys~

Filing Error, Page 21

Wanted to get this one out a few days ago but kind of just not had the time to work on it, ended up rushing to get it out tonight since I didn't want to wait any longer on it. Probably'll try and get another out before the month's out but probably going to prioritize A Balanced Defensive Line for now since it's been longer. Either way, pretty happy with this one. Ash's mom was never a character who got a lot of play in the original comic so it's kind of easy to let her fall to the wayside but s...

Pre-Champ Interlude: Take To The Skies

Once we submit this I'm turning on Legends: ZA. Very excited for it at this point. ^_^ Yeah, the second we saw Mega Dragonite we knew we were gonna do something with it; Martin actually rushed out the big money-shot of Mega Dragonite THAT DAY with the intention of us rushing something out. But I was kinda swamped the next several days and we never quite found the time until now. Even as-is this page took forever. In particular sank a ton of time into the first panel background and Lance's paja...

A Foal's Errand, Page 2

Meant to get this one out earlier in the month but it kind of kept getting lost in the shuffle, had a lot going on; still going to try and get out another before the month's out so keep an eye out. Has been kind of fun doing this cascade of all our various ongoing comics over the past few days though; might notice there's one more we haven't done yet this month that should also probably be up in the next couple of days.

Daylight Filler - Dinah & June, Part 5

And this is a wrap on this Daylight intermission story! Next update will be getting the ball rolling on the next chapter proper. Sorry for the delay on this one but it kind of kept getting lost in the shuffle among other projects, though am pretty happy with the end result at least. Hope everyone enjoyed this little mini-arc.
