When the Kittens Come Home

Weirdly enough this is not the only picture we had sitting of a character named Mio with a shadowy duplicate. Thought about making this a double-feature with that one but since M isn't actually in this picture and I haven't written dialogue for that one yet I decided against it. So yeah, Xenoblade 3! Definitely got more Xenoblade coming in the future but this one's been sitting for a bit, rather happy with it. Wish the game had had the time to explore these two's dynamic deeper than it does, yo...

In the Shadow of Gnos

Hey, who's played Gnosia? Been wanting to try drawing stuff with it for a long time and with having replayed it recently and the anime adaptation debuting today figured now was a great time! Kind of initially wanted to put more characters in but had to sort of scramble on a busy weekend to wrap this one up so decided to just leave it to these two, though not ruling out doing more in the future. At least we've got two versions?

Tama's Payback

Hey, remember this one? https://www.deviantart.com/lance-the-young/art/You-Only-Have-Six-Minutes-1126106498 Yeah, Tama said she'd get her revenge and sure enough... Kind of a departure from form for us but had fun doing it, been meaning to post this one for a bit. Definitely can expect more Somnium Files from us in the future - top of my head we have at least one more finished and at least four more in progress so definitely going to be one of those things that pops up probably every couple of...

A Balanced Defensive Line, Page 5

Need to go back and add the date on the first scene - that was taking place on day 3 - but eh, will get it whenever we get it shaded. So yeah, now we're getting into the Second-to-Last Defense Academy introductions! .... Not nearly as many of those for the record. Kind of an awkward thing about the start of this, initially the first two scenes I wrote as a single page each but even carved up they kind of took awhile so not sure the comic would've even started posted yet if I'd kept it to that f...

Erika's New Perfume, Page 31

Heh, yeah, this one was time-consuming. Kind of just a fun bit that was calling for really doing some stuff with so it took us a bit longer than usual to get out, do hope it was worth the wait. Probably going to have a few more comic updates coming in the next few days so keep an eye out. Got at least one I want to try and get ready to go up tomorrow.

Pre-Champ Page 6-4 (Mastermind)

Heh. Well, how were YOU expecting this battle to go? Yeah, this whole adventure is about Lance pulling himself up from the sandbox and back up to Champion status. So let's face it; it'd be super boring if he won every single battle. Plus there's just something so adorable about Sabrina being a baby-brained little cutie but still a force to be reckoned with. Clearly she's still got talent. What I like about this is that Lance didn't lose because he was overconfident and made a bad call. He led ...

What Science Has Wrought

First off, one last reminder to vote in our Comic of the Month poll! We've presently got a tie for first place and two other things breathing down their necks so even one more vote could completely upend it! Details can be found right here - https://lance-the-young.fanbox.cc/posts/10670886 So yeah, Sandra & Woo, or more accurately, Yuna and Cloud! Always enjoy doing stuff with this series and actually got a fair bit more sitting - top of my head there's at least one other finished one and ...

Comic of the Month Poll Reminder

Hey, bit of a different circumstance but we thought we should put out a reminder of the poll we have going! Basically this poll has been shockingly close, with four separate things all within a single vote of taking the top slot at the moment and multiple others right on the fringes, and so we figured we should issue a reminder that any supporters who have not voted should try and do so within the next couple of days. More details are right here -

A Heart That's Fragile And Made of Glass

Thirty Years. Neon Genesis Evangelion premiered October 4th, 1995. So all too happy to dust off an adorable picture of Shinji to show off to folks. ^_^ Yeah, funny enough just earlier today me and Martin were wondering when EXACTLY the anniversary was (we knew it was this month) and only in asking "Hmm... What do we submit to Fanbox for the fourth?" do we see that it's on that day. So we naturally spruced this one up so we could submit it right away. It's been sitting long enough to show its ag...

Never in Quite the Same Way

Hey, we had a sitting in progress picture of Rosalina, of course we were going to rush something out for the rerelease of the Galaxy games! Yeah, this is just kind of some goofy fun with the ending of the first game. Sort of a strange array of characters reacting but it was mostly a matter of just who we felt like drawing, plus we already had sitting pictures of Geno and Dixie anyway so was easy to chimera those into this. I'd say we should hit the Mario series more but even with putting multip...

Comic of the Month Poll for October 2025

We were originally going to do this month more or less in the same style as last month but with a horror theme, but we were having some problems with getting things to come together for numerous reasons and since it's our second anniversary month on Fanbox we decided now's a good time to try something a little different this time.


First off, we're approaching the polling differently! Now we want everyone to pick three options and we're using ranked voting - pick the one you m...

Fashion Advice With Becky

Kind of had a few other things we wanted to hit as our update for the 1st but we've both had a pretty stressful day so settled for getting this shaded and dialogued as our tie-in to the new season being about to start. Might have something else later in the day, will have to see how things shake out. Am happy with this one at least. Becky's always a fun character but don't think we've ever done anything with her before.

Filing Error, Page 20

Was strongly tempted at this point to just wait and have Misfile be our update on the 1st of the month, buuuut we've got other options and was in the mood so decided to rush this out last-minute. Was originally also going to have a carseat shot in the middle panel there but it kind of just felt redundant posing-wise with the two I'd already drawn so decided to leave that out. So yeah, kind of just continuing to explore the logistics of things. Do hope everyone enjoys the slow burn on these page...

Comic of the Month 3 - Merchandising

Our winner by a single vote was My Hero Academia! If you didn't see earlier in the month we already did the runner-up, Apothecary Diaries, so be sure to also check that out if you haven't. So yeah, timing on this works out pretty well what with the final season coming out in a few days and all. Convenient how that lines up, hope everyone enjoys this one.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 30

Little later than we would've liked on getting this one out but am pretty pleased with how it turned out. Heh, kind of a natural point for a scene change here, with Erika heading out of the house and now finding herself in this particular awkward situation. Might recognize a few cameos from various other works we've done here, kind of a nice benefit of doing this comic is it's kind of been a good excuse to do stuff like that in the process of extending out the story. Definitely got more along t...

A Balanced Defensive Line, Page 4

Really tried to get this one out yesterday but kind of just ended up taking way longer than expected. Feel like the art on these so far has been a bit spotty so was trying to step the game up a bit on this one, probably do some revisions on some of the earlier ones before we start posting them publicly. Likely be a bit before we start doing that. This is incidentally the end of what was originally supposed to be just the first page; we'll have a scene change in the next one. Kind of hoping to g...

Nursery Renovation Order

Other thing we're tying into the release of is Hades II! Funny enough even though Adam's a huge fan of the first one (I'm kind of more middling on it) he's not planning to get the new one at launch specifically because of the subject of this picture; wants to finish getting all of the renovations in the first one first. Probably a series we'll continue to hit here and there going forward? There is at least one more in progress so guess look forward to that. For what it's worth we'd probably al...

Dirtybooks Commission - For Me It's Always Like This

We're doing two updates today tying into new game releases, the second one will come a bit later. First off, Silent Hill! I ended up impulse buying F the other day, played a bit of it but need to get back to it, not touched it today. Definitely more Silent Hill to come from us in the future, got at least one more in-progress, so guess look forward to that.

Erasing An Adulthood

Yeah, couple of great pictures based on Erased! .... Erased! Given the premise it was easy to think of a quick couple of pictures for the main character and his Mom, so was fun to get out. The first is one we did kinda on a whim and the second a sequel someone commissioned to it. Not much to say about this. We're submitting these together just because we don't know if we'll try more of this series. Some properties we sort of just want to hit once or twice to get out of our systems or try out, ...

A Foal's Errand, Page 1

Hey, so this is pretty hot off the presses! Basically of late we've been wondering about starting up a more freeform ongoing comic we can kind of just play without any particular plan in place with both of us writing it that wouldn't take too long to draw, and after some consideration we ultimately arrived at MLP being what we wanted to do. Helps that that Trixie comic we submitted a couple of months back is outright our most successful Fanbox upload so we figured there's clearly an audience for...

Erika Artistry Double Feature

And at first place was Erika's New Perfume! Pretty pleasant little surprise that, pretty flattering. In this particular case we figured we'd just group together what I think are the last two Erika pictures we have sitting in the old style, mostly since the second one here - which was a commission - we kind of just think we could have done a better job with so we don't really want to post it on its own. First one we're pretty satisfied with at least. Helps that we've kind of got a lot of Tim stu...

Wonder Of Wonders

Second place in our poll wound up going to Wonder Woman! Weird, while wicked, white-knuckled wraiths were well-worn walks, wailing Wonder Woman wowed with winning. ..... Seriously, while I'm not surprised it did well, I wasn't expecting it to get to 2nd place. This was a fun one to write dialog for... The fact that I went with the blond version of Hippolyta while also mentioning that it was her armor that was stolen firmly plants this as the Justice League version of these characters. That was ...

nova1324 Commission - Itchy Rashy

And third place in our poll was Resident Evil! Weird thing about this particular commission is that we got a pretty similar one with separate characters right around the same time as this one so were done in close proximity to each other, so guess look forward to that eventually. Also got at least one more Resident Evil thing we did of our own accord waiting in the wings so there's also that.

Filing Error, Page 19

Wanted to get this one out like a week or two ago but kind of just not had the time, though still going to try and fit in another of both it and A Balanced Defensive Line before the month's out. Am pretty happy with this one at least; admittedly as initially picturing it I was having trouble figuring out how to get this one down to a manageable length but the specific ideas I had in mind should be easy to transplant to the next one now. Would hope this is clear just from the writing but just in...

Going for a Stroll

Been meaning to post this one for awhile, but kind of held up by not really knowing what to expect of it; feels like usually when we hit El Goonish Shive it does pretty decently but dunno much of our audience is actually familiar with it. I've kinda been half-ish reading the comic again for awhile? I stopped reading it ages ago but occasionally glance in now, kind of thought about getting actually caught up but also remembering why I stopped reading in the first place when I consider it. Maybe ...

Safe For The Night

It's the 10th Anniversary of when you rescued the monster race from the clutches of Flowey and freed them from beneath Mt. Ebott. What better time to stay in, cuddle up with your Mommy and just enjoy a nice soft time at home? Yeah, weird to think Undertale's that old. I mean, I can look back at the part of my life when I played it and think "Huh, that's SUPER far back" but not sink in just the depth when I think of the game itself. Wanted to just get a picture that was nice and cozy since that'...

September 2025 Poll - Sitting Multiples

Hey, not done one of these in a bit! We've got a bunch of stuff with more than one picture sitting and with the exception of a few things we've already shown off this month we figured we'd leave it up a poll to determine which ones to eat through some of the backlog on. Lot of big names so really no idea what might win, should be interesting to see. You can vote on that right here -

Daylight Filler - Dinah & June, Part 4

Dinah and June's stream continues! Sorry about the wait on this one, we kinda had trouble coming up with another gag for this and we're also sorta not ready to start the next Daylight arc yet. Still had a lot of fun with this one; dialog really wound up sprawling just because we were enjoying it so much~

Funky Fungi Foraging

Okay, so some explanation here! Apothecary Diaries did not win the comic of the month poll, but we weren't entirely sure it'd get any votes and it ended up being just one shy of the winner so we kind of just wanted to do it anyway. The winner will still come later in the month (and is already drawn) but for right now we're posting this one. Admittedly not sure it's a series I can see myself hitting super often? We've got at least one stray picture of Maomao also sitting, and do really like her,...

Without the Whispers

Yeah, this one was kind of a weird little oddity that we just sort of cobbled together as it went before falling into the, "What if the game's just gone completely off the rails," idea. Didn't even really intend it specifically to be a Remake joke but hey, if it aligns with that concept might as well roll with it. Definitely more Final Fantasy (and not just 7) coming in the future. Right off we've got one picture that was literally directly next to this one in the queue - part of why we opted t...
