Draw me Love

Or should I call it... E U P H O R I A  ! 

(Because Melancholia, upside down and dark, remember ?)

What's interesting with this pic is that it can be the metaphor of a lot of things. To me it represents ... something... about the end of the Boy and the Wolf. But it could be ... Death, Dreams, Orgasm, beautiful thoughts... What do you see ?

Timelapse - Comic process

24 minutes of me drawing The Boy and the Wolf Comic ! 

I hope you'll like it. Don't watch it yet if you don't wanna get spoiled before the next comic's update (tomorrow I guess). 

Watching this video might make you think that it's easy, so why the hell does it takes so long for Z-Pico to upload more !??  But I just show you the "flawless" moments. I can spend hours on a panel just because I can't get it right!

Need suggestions

Hi guys ! What's up ??

Lately, a few of you asked for a video process of the comic, which I'm working on rn. I have  a few questions tho : I'll do a mix of different panels so it doesn't get too boring; I'm about to do a "speedpaint" type video but maybe you'd like me to slow down the video at some point ? Do I need to add text ?  I don't want it to turn into a tutorial, it would be too much work and it would only work for Cli...

The Boy

Last one !

Game

I know. I know. Wtf. 

That's so weird for me to draw something really random, without planning or anything! At the end I'm like "..okay... so... here it is. I guess." They are playing paintball I guess, vs Joris! I wanted to make fun of their difference lol. Black vs colors.

I actually did the Boy first, and there's absolutely no reason I kept it until now!

I wish the Boy looked like this everytime !  I LOVE his face. I never draw them smiling so much and I was kin...

TERA

Full picture in a few hours ! With the Boy, I mean ! I just drew them separately cause I knew I'd like Tera so much ;___; 

Here he is, with his actual suit (from the comic, chapter 2) unzipped !!! *BLUSHING* and random stuff on his shoulders. 

Random fact: For his body, I always had in mind Liam Hemsworth (but more muscular). It can be hard to tell if someone is tall of not by looking at a picture... except for him (and some oth...

UPDATE

One the biggest thing that bothered me with the comic was the contrast, it had to look nice, no like the first version, and I was really worried about that. I even asked @Ladyeren (who is a colorist)! And now it just goes effortlessly ! Well it's because when I looked for their clothes, I knew it had to give contrast.

The other thing that bother me is how clean my ...

Chit-Chat

(And an upgraded Icone)

Tera is masked now, I don't know why he wasn't before. It says "theboyandthe WOLF"! Pff

There's nowhere else I can be chatty, that's sad lol... Anyway. I really like the last pic of Tera, I realized it a few days ago lol. To me, he conveys something sexual, but not in a sexual way; you know hhhm how to say that... Girls, I'm sure it's the same for you: Havin a
boyfriend who is suddenly sweet and lovely, is more exciting than a boyfriend...

Sulking

     I expected THIS expression  but Tera looks like he's about to destroy your face (I named the pic "asshole lol"). Or he's a little bit upset, and he knows he's wrong so he just stops talking lol.  He's sulking !

UPDATE !!!!!

God I'm so happy to show you this update !!!!

I'm so proud of this last page, they both look so nice ! I was sooo motivated and I enjoyed so much working on these pages ! Mostly because a lot of panels show them in a very flattering way. Tera is hot, strong and big, and the Boy has pretty legs and a flat tummy; and the way he's blushing here !

I hope you...

Chapter 2 has started !

I hope you'll like it ! Page 59 was almost ready but couldn't do it in time. I don't really like to start a new chapter because I never know if their outfits will be fun/easy to draw an match every situation ! Tera is wearing a kind of suit, that he can turn into a... hum something cool when he unnzip it ! Dunno if I'll do it now or later (you know, for the parkour stuff).

Halloween Set

(Sorry to bother, you don't have to say something lol) It's just Tera and the Boy separated. Patreon added a new feature which allows me to put more files that you can download, YOUPI !

That's funny because when I work on colored pic, there's always something I "quickly color" very sketchy,  thinking "I'll come back on it later" and actually forget about it because it looks fine enough the way it is. Guess which part I'm talki...

Trick Or Treat ?

I guess God didn't have any candies.

         What to say ? I'm really proud of myself, as I always say: I never know where I'm going with colors. I had no plans, and Tera was just a black silhouette; I added  stuff and textures and voila !  There are many new textures and effects that I never did before and it just ... went well, without any doubts or fail lol

I bet you weren't expecting that ! Well, me neither lol. 

It's sketchy because it was supposed to be sketches,  I was  looking for Halloween outfits, liked it and actually spent time on it u_u

See, I'm reconciling with colors WOOH

(It looks like Tera could crush the Boy in a second lololol)


PS. I dare you to cosplay like that.

Page 40 - WIP

This is how it looks when the inking part is done. I actually work on it again  after the screentones have been added, because it changes contrasts. I'm happy when it looks already well contrasted, sometimes I even feel like the shades ruin it lol.

For the two panels on the upper right, I noted "dynamic" and "painful" on the storyboard xD Is it enough ??

Line effects and other stuff will definitely add it.

It's hard to stop cause I feel like I could add details and hashes endl...

Reading your last comments about the Boy's outfit, I realized you were way more kinky than me haha; That was very funny !

Today I finished the storyboard of the last pages and a part of the sketches. It makes something like 10 pages to do this month, I better work my ass off lol!

Tera's scars

  

It's late here and I wanted to play Sims 4 but I'm in a chatty mood !

You might not remember it but from the very first pic of Tera (don't watch it too long, it could burn your eyes I'm serious) he got marks/scars under his eyes. It evolved over time, and I know not everyone likes it.

I know those sketches seem to be drawn in a few minutes, at least one hour but it's not lol. There are many tries for the face,hair and body... I actually spent 2 hours on his...

The "every moring" is my secret crush kjhfkfhgvjfhg

I can't believe I'm "so" comfortable drawing  Tera when his face is SO MUCH MORE COMPLICATED THAN THE BOY'S !!!?

That being said, it's always such a mess lol.


Lastly I've been told that I should draw them together more often. So I wondered why I don't draw them together that often (when I'm sketching etc) and I think it's because they are so different, the way I'm drawing them, that I usually just want to draw one ...

The picture I'm working on (not the full one, we're supposed to see their legs) ! The dialogue as nothing to do with it, I just had some ideas while drawing it lol.

I just read an article about Patreon saying there are 80 000 creators using Patreon right now, and just 2% of us are making more than the equivalent of the federal minimum wage of 1 160 $ a month (October 2017). I dunno what to say 😭

I put way to much sugar in my coffee. But I enjoyed it. 

Maybe I said it before but at first I didn't want you to see Tera's face, he was supposed to be masked in every picture until he takes off his mask in the comic. So everyone would be like "Omg, I'm so curious, I need to know how he looks like !!!?" BUT I'M SO WEAK.

Someone recently messaged me saying I should draw the Boy and Tera together more often. And I realized I always draw them separated ._.  I'll keep it in mind, thank you ! 

Awh, how do you pronounce Tera ? It's supposed to sound like in French: "Téra" (like the é in Café )  I'm just curious ! He looks so sassy here.
