Tera

'saw a pp like this, liked it, and thought "I'm doing this" lol.

You know what I really want to do ? A trailer for the comic : skull :

      That would be amazing, to finally have a trailer that would allow everyone to get a glimpse of the story and the plot. Webtoon does it, but also some French publishers (Kana) on youtube for mangas, and it looks pretty good. I'd go for a phone screen format video ...

HI FOLKS!

I hope you loved the update! Who remember the lens/story I posted of that panel of the Boy, saying "This shot is misleading" haha. It's because without context it just looked like the Boy was pressing against Tera, his face ...

FaceTime

It's not meant to be a comic strip, I just wanted to sketch them doing faceTime, but I thought why not do a lil extra. 

I don't know why I draw them so... "lovey dovey" lately?? (I know that's not the right words but bear with me haha) I assume it's because I know they'll really get close soon in the comic, so maybe I kind of set the stage...?

Summer Afternoons

Sometimes I just wanna draw sketchy fluffy stuff and not waste to much time on it but as often I keep cleaning my sketches and they look cleaner than I want to- 

When I draw this kind of "slice of life" I always wonder if I should add dialog or not. But it's better to let it up to your imagination, as you'll focus on the ambiance/vibe of the pic and not the story dialogues would tell. 


They look so normal haha.  Just chilling on... I dunno where ...

The Tooth Fairy 🦷

Did you enjoy this tale??? I write such lovely tales -  :skullemoji:

In France (and most of French speaking countries) it's not a fairy but a mouse! I went for the Fairy since most of you ain't French -

I think the idea came to me because I figured that would be a funny way for Tera to get money hahaha-  I can imagine him cheerfully picking up teeth that have fallen to the ground  after he has smashed some faces, with Fair...

Tapas Banner Chichat and suggestions


Hey guys!

Okay so, here's the banner template that will appear on the Tapas app. The sentence doesn't mean anything, and that's the reason of this post: to find a sentence of 80 characters to make people want to read The Boy and the Wolf!

I've gathered and sorted the ideas you suggested (thank you so much, very helpful!!), looked for more ideas... let's see if we can get something nice from all of it!

Romeo and Juliet 2022

That's a fail, Tera, I'm sorry... 

      Were you expecting Tera to do this kind of things??? Be honest! I'm curious! (not necessarily to the Boy) Cause at first the Boy was supposed to do the finger-heart (and Tera to say "y'need cash?" just because Tera is probably the one who will think of cash first, due to his job) but the more I was thinking about it the more I was sure View Post

And that was just perfect for Tera and Joris lol. I have fun playing with Jo' se*uality, he's probably straight but can't deny his weird attraction for Tera- 

Also, Tera's being a bit hom0phobic- He's a Black Death, all of that is new to him lol.

I think that pose is so cute and funny and the-Boy-and-Tera-ish that I had to draw it! :D

And then, size difference came in. Tera's way to tall for the Boy to stand like the original photo!!! I really struggled and tried a lot of pose for the Boy haha. There was just no way he could reach Tera's neck in that position. 

I think they blend in well with the back...

I don't have much to say; there will probably be some scenes like that in the comic. 

In the first version the Boy was lying against Tera, but the silhouette of the couple wasn't looking good/interesting...  then I made him look at Tera, like they were chatting but I think that kind of pictures ...

Nah it just seems very...spiritual. It's like I had drawn a tragedy, I don't know why I always go for something sad and dramatic when I think "big picture"  ._.

Black Death

The balance of the pic is not good, the Rabbit stands out too much like he was right next to Tera. And he's not.  Anyway I'll have to find a new layout for it if I ever want to post it on Instagram (to split it into 3 panels). So it will be edited later!

The Pig looks like a photo? Like photo realistic?  And it's not? I swear I drew it lol. I did have a ref for his hair tho. I like his look! I might post them separately and not blurry in the future....

I love this scene of the Boy trolling Tera on his dating app lmao.

This picture says it all, I don't think I need to say anything else haha.

It's soft and cute, it feels really casual! I hope you like it :3 

Oh wait, actually I think the Boy woke up Tera who sometimes sleeps during the day (since he has a -mostly- night job) he probably fell asleep on his couch after his shower. He's happy about it.

See you on the 31st for the comic update! <3

Sketches

       I keep wanting to draw Tera with loose hair, lol. The fact that he always has the same haircut (even if it has evolved over the years) makes me curious about his haircut after the shower! That's one try haha. 

Also just wanted to draw a size comparison. Like we don't see it enough in the comic lol.

More tenderness (I guess I'm in that mood at the moment)


Definitely the kind of scene we'll see in the comic. I think the way I cropped it kinda confuses the understanding of the pose: they are sitting on the ground (maybe on a roof), that's why the Boy is so high.



I'll probably edit it later with a fresh eye, because a few things bother me. 


Love you guys -

You can tell Tera was on his phone before falling asleep too. There are a few mistakes but I hope you like it!
