Author Q&A (23 Apr - 27 Apr)

Hey lovelies! I'm here with the Q&A session that some of you have requested for. I usually answer questions throughout my posts anyway, but I thought this would be a good way to consolidate everything and give you guys more detailed answers. During this period (23 Apr - 27 Apr) I'll try to answer as many of your questions as I can, so ask away in the comment section below, which is also where I'll be responding.

The questions I won't be answering:

1. A...

MPL - Ep2 Sneak Preview

When you look like Tora everything you say sounds dirty. I almost feel sorry for him 😂

Also ticket-counter girl has a whole new look. I wanted to make her look super innocent (or she styles herself in this way) but also make it obvious that she isn't 'an innocent', as a contrast to Poppy who actually is. And how that is a pretty rare thing to come across, in Tora's world.

Sorry for the double post but this one's a fun bit (to me) so I wanted to share. Also sinc...

MPL - Ep 1 Artwork

It's always dark and dreary when Tora is all alone and Poppy isn't by his side 😭 I'll leave the better shots of Tora for when the episode is published 🤓

MPL - Ep 1 Artwork (Poppy)

I've been trying to figure out a more systematic way of sharing the work I'm doing with you guys, which is giving me a bit of a paralysis-by-analysis moment 😅

For every episode, I'm going to share my usual sketchy sneak previews, and also the final coloured panels from the episode. I wanted to share entire comic sequences (without dialogue) within the episode, but that seems to be spoiling too much, so I think I'll just post a compilation of the artwork I've done instead. I'll tr...

MPL - Sneak Preview

Y'all guess whose middle school photo I found 🥰🥰

The Secret Garden #29 + #30

Wrestling smut 😘An Asura's Bride AU, set in a future timeline when Yuwa is living with Ulaan up North at one of his Northern army camps. For some reason my pervy brain has been begging me to work on this theme xD This one's less romance and more lewd, but I hope you'll like it anyway. Leaving this open-ended so I can either end it here or continue with it.

For now, my brain is fried from MPL production work so I think I'll ease up on smut that has a plot ("The Princess and The Ge...

The Secret Garden (Preview)

Whenever I get an idea, I try to get it out quickly before it dissipates. Here's one I've been thinking about the entire day today and it's making me feel quite frisky 😏Thanks to Irene for suggesting this wrestling theme, although I'm taking it in a rather different direction from her initial suggestion 🤓

The Secret Garden #28 (AB Ep 11 Extra Scene)

It's been awhile guys! I'm feeling rusty from not drawing smut the last 2 weeks, but I wanted to get this out of my head asap. This is what would have happened in the last AB episode 11 (during the clothes changing scene) if I wasn't so pressed for time. So you can consider this an extra scene from that episode. 

For my next post which will also be an AB one, I'll either add on to this scene, or work on a sketch, depending on how much time I have for it.

Anyway hope y...

MPL - Ep 1 Sneak Preview

"I'm not gonna cry. Noooope."

Here's the revamped 'Poppy walks in on her cheating bf' sequence. I'm glad I had a chance to revamp this because tbh, the reason why she seemed so calm in the original version was because back then, I didn't know how to draw her reacting 😭

On an unrelated note - I'm going to have an AB Secret Garden post up as soon as I'm done with this episode, within the week!

MPL - Ep 1 Sneak Preview + Poll

Update: Thanks for all of your input! I'll go with the majority number of votes, so stripes it is! Hope you guys had a bit of fun with this informal fashion poll. I'm thinking of doing more of these 🤓

Doing colour tests now. I'm happy with how this is turning out! Though I can't decide on the striped shirt or pink shirt, so help me choose guys! I'm gonna leave a comment below, just hit the like button for the colour you prefer ;D

MPL - Ep 1 Sneak Preview + Chat

I'm so excited about these reworks, I would post everything I've done here if I could! Here's part of the scene from when Tora first meets Poppy as she climbs out of the bushes. So far I'm really enjoying this revamp because I'm focusing more on the characters and their emotional experiences instead of downplaying all of that with comedy.

When I first started posting on Webtoon, I was shocked by the large, large majority of teen and pre-teen readers. And I think that made me tone do...

The Secret Garden Special #1

I wasn't intending to make a family portrait so soon, but I'd like to try and soothe some of your bruised hearts 😭❤️ Hope you guys like this Secret Garden special!

The Secret Garden #27 (AB Ep10 Uncensored High-res Artwork)

I'm not due for a post this week but here are the high-res artwork from the NSFW scene in AB Ep 10. I'll continue working on more AB Secret Gardens for the rest of this month (or longer) before switching over to MPL. Depending on what I have time for, they will either be sketches, short comic strips or long comic strips (a long comic strip will be a bi-weekly post because of the time it takes to create). Enjoy ❤️

MPL - Ep1 Sneak Preview

I'm jumping right into the revamp for the featured series like YEET

Also was told to make Tora as sexy as possible and I ain't complaining! I mean i drew this and it's making me blush and i have no idea why 😂

Asura's Bride PDF Downloads (Full Collection)

Hey guys! Here's the entire collection of the Asura's Bride PDF files. You can download from this dropbox folder link here or save them from the attachments below. Enjoy!

AB - Ep 11 PDF Download

Edit: Just realised there was a panel that wasn't stitched properly so I've fixed it with an updated PDF. Thanks!

And we're finally at the last episode of Asura's Bride. It was so surreal typing in 'The End' at the bottom and I'm filled with so many mixed emotions right now. I'm even hesitant to post this because I don't want it to end.

BUT!! The End of the Webtoon episodes doesn't mean The End of Asura's Bride. I love Ulaan and Yuwa too muc...

AB - Ep11 Sneak Preview

Mirrors are a luxury that soldiers fighting it out on the battlefield have never had.

Working on this episode has been intense and it's not even coloured. I should have this up here on Patreon within the next few days!

AB - Ep11 Sneak Preview

This final episode is 2 regular episodes long and I'll probably leave it in black and white cos my deadline from Webtoon is coming up in a couple days time. But I'd like to try and finish up the colours before I make print copies of the entire series, and I'll probably be working on the colouring in between MPL work.

Anyway, I'm being very careful with the sneak peeks from here on because most of them will definitely be spoilers. If you don't mind a few spoilers here and there, help...

AB - Ep 11 Sneak Preview

The real Yujen finally makes an appearance and she is princess goals. 

The Secret Garden #25 + #26 (AB - Ep10 Uncensored PDF Download)

The uncensored NSFW scene in Asura's Bride Ep 10. 

I wanted to save this post for next week because I've already made a Secret Garden post for this week, but because I'm someone that can't keep a secret for long 😂 I'm posting this now.  As stated, a coloured NSFW scene will be a biweekly post, so my next post for Secret Garden will be due on the first week of April. BUT I'll fill up the gap with high-res artwork from this scene for next week's post (or the week after).<...

AB - Ep 10 PDF Download

Guys, thank you all so much for all your encouragement and kindness in my announcement post, I'm just completely blow away by how kind and encouraging everyone is! ❤️ 

Now that the difficult part is out of the way, I can share this episode with a peace of mind.

It's so surreal to finally be posting a new AB ep after so long, and I'm SO freaking nervous. Palms are sweaty, knees weak. Anyway please let me know what you think about the episode!  Also, this is an...

Update on AB and MPL (Pt 2)

*This is gonna be a very long one so skip to the bottom if you just want the tldr*

---

Edit: To those AB fans who've decided to stay on for now (thank you!!), I will continue making AB Secret Garden comics and side stories because I still have a ton of ideas that I want to work on. Although they will just be sketches and not coloured (I'll colour them if I have time). I'm just letting you know, just in case.

Also I still have a c...

AB - Ep 10 Sneak Preview

Coloured this panel. I'll have more artwork as mobile/desktop wallpapers from this episode for you guys, once I'm done. The ep should be out today or tomorrow. Just finishing up the painting and then adding in dialogue.

Update on AB and MPL (Pt 1)

Hey guys. To those who didn't read my update post here, I was offered a featured artist position on Webtoon with MPL. I'm still unable to reveal what's happening right now, but what I can tell you is that I'm in the midst of negotiating terms with Webtoon and I'm being very careful and thorough with this. And what I can promise you is that the Secret Garden tier and all its contents will remain unchang...
