progress progress ๐Ÿƒ

hey everyone, i'm currently finishing up scene 66 and working on the backgrounds~ i also started with storyboarding / sketching the next scene and i'm super happy with the progress at the moment!! not just with the actual drawing but also with writing, and where the plot is at now. i can't wait to just press their dumb faces together so they can finally kiss (the urge to do that while drawing the current panels is HUGE)

the next update will most likely be on 29th June ๐ŸŒป!!

comic progress + a bit of talk ๐Ÿ’š

hey hey everyone, hope you're all doing fine!! It's been a while since i've last posted and i'm sorry for disappearing for so long ;; I had to take care of some important but time consuming things (taxes etc). Besides that the summer heat has been very good for my mood, but quite exhausting otherwise. I have to take a few naps during the day, but currently i found a nice rhythm to be able to work a few hours daily on my pages~

i think the thing i'm most proud of right now is that i star...

comic progress ๐Ÿ’˜

hey everyone, i was able to draw quiet a bit the past few days and i look back at even the wonkiest panels and it makes me feel so accomplished somehow. i just love to draw and i notice every time again how much i need drawing (it's soothing and calming for me), and how happy the task itself makes me! also just really love my boys so much and it's fun to draw them being idiots in love~ i also drew some fanart sketches and i think it helps me to get out of my comfort zone more, and also i noti...

scene 65 (416 - 419)

update time! Theyโ€™re both nervous as hell, but theyโ€™ve got this~ working up some courage there (also letโ€™s totally ignore the creepy stuff going onโ€ฆ.)

Iโ€™m so happy I finished this scene, thank you so much for your patience and support!! Next scene is in the works (6 pages) and I canโ€™t wait to share it with you, too.

Also today is Noahโ€™s birthday, so I thought itโ€™s a good idea for comic update today ๐ŸฆŒ๐Ÿ’œ

I got my shipping confirmation a few days ago, and yesterday my first part of my Robin plushie order arrived !!

I'll take care of them and let them rest and get some air, so they can recover from...

I also planned to do some sort of color change (to more saturated and nighttime / neon), to show the shift in their feelings / courage. I honestly wasnโ€™t sure how it would turn out, since Iโ€™ve done the ...
