Pages 20+21

The videos for these will be going up soon as well! I feel really good about how i'm doing with streamlining my process. Page 21 only took me half the time as usual. Of course it doesn't have any backgrounds and is mostly expressive shots so it is overall simpler than many pages I draw, but that is still good for me to know! 

Whoops here's some updates!! Pinup + pages 17-19

So here's the 3 year anniversary pinup, along with the last ....three pages I didn't bump here!

Its kinda hard to believe its already been three years, and also hard to believe its ONLY been three years. I feel like I'm in a very peculiar place with both the comic and my life at the moment- I'm not working so I have time aplenty for art and writing, and the story is hitting something I've been trying to write through for a long time. While I made silly little comics as a teenager, this...

Anniversary Pinup WIP

man I sure havent illustrated in foreverrrrrr! Here's a pretty-close-to-done shot of this year's anniversary pinup! The 18th marks 3 years doing the comic and god i am just barely at where stuff starts getting going. I'll have some big heartfelt thing to say about it another time, but I wanted to give yall a lil taste of what'll be taking the place of Monday's page.. Lots of little details and errors need to get fixed, and i'll prob do a little background and some fun text thanking everyone f...

Chapter 7 Page 16

Chapter 16 is up! This one took.........................way longer than it should. I pushed myself a little past the point of my brain's comfortable activity once or twice, which you can fully see in the process video. I thought about cutting it out, but that would be 1000% disingenuous and inauthentic. Art is not always efficient, and I think it is important to show stru...

Chapter 7 Page 15 speed draw.... sorta....

Well, I tried my best... but when I exported my screen recordings I guess I named some redundantly, which lead to an automatic over-write without a prompt asking if I wanted that... so there's a few bits missing. At the least, I know to be more careful in the future......

Chapter 7 Page 15

not gonna lie this one's been sitting done save for dialogue for like a week. I've been slowly coming to terms with the fact that my job- while i love the actual work- does not foster a life of stable routine like I apparently need. On top of that, trying to keep my back in workable shape, and Pokemon Snap having come out, I haven't drawn much. Plus, this coming sequence is one I've been needing to get to for some time, and the pressure is on. This chapter is probably gonna be a little longer...

Chapter 7 Page 14

Lol whoops I put this in Drive with one text layer hidden and didn't catch it till this morning... Now its fixed, though. The high res of this is also available in the appropriate folder!

Pages 12 & 13

Hooo boy. Bout two weeks ago I seriously messed up my back, so I've been taking it kind of easy. I sat for too long and didn't stretch enough, and I'm trying to avoid doing that again so I can keep drawing for many, many more years. That means I'm going to have to re-structure how I approach drawing. Honestly I've needed to prioritize speed and let go of some of my perfectionistic tendencies for some time, and this is a pretty good reason to focus on that now. I want to still retain my own se...

an old extra

So I'd forgotten to stick this in Patreon when it got moved over to Google. If you missed it, this is an extra that takes place between pages 8 and 9 of Chapter 3. Since its not 'boys love' I didn't include it in the regular updates. I myself haven't looked at this lil sequence in quite some time but I still like how spicy and juicy it is. The PDF is available right here!...

Update!!

Pages 7-11 are now in Drive! This includes the high-resolution/text free versions too. That's the updates thru April 26! I'll prob post a lil preview of page 12 soon since I got pretty far on it today.
Since I've gotten/maintained a decent buffer, I'm slowly trying to work in my other projects to my schedule. I've *JUST* reached a milestone in my day-job and after th...

New Year New filesharing system

SO you all should've gotten an email with an invite to a Google Drive which will now replace Dropbox for all your blbl needs! Since I started uploading process videos, I ran out of space pretty quick on Dropbox. Drive has all kinds of new delicious things to look at, so go poke around and enjoy your super secret month of updates no one else gets to read while I work on building up a buffer. The first update will probs be the cover and page 1 of the chapter, so it'll be done sometime before ne...

Future Plans

I don't need to tell yall that shit is absolutely crazy rn. Because of that, after the final page on chapter 5 goes up, BLBL will be taking a month-long hiatus. This is so I can work a little more on my own terms building a buffer and write a little more carefully. As much as its fun trying to solve the problems I write myself into by not looking ahead, I have learned a lot about writing since I've started BLBL and would like to utilize it to work more efficiently. Of course, updates will sti...

Thank you!!

I'm not sure why, but the end of the year is always bonkers for me. I mean holidays aside, stuff always happens around this time. So I've not drawn a lot recently, took some time to think a bit, play some games, read comics....recharge, right? Thank you for supporting me while I took care of myself! I'm very excited for what's coming up in the next few chapters of blbl and I'm looking forward to stretching myself artistically more!!

For now, here's a preview for the update the ...

Sup

I hope everyone checks their email for Dropbox updates because I....don't really announce them. I've been busy with commissions and other work I can't really show, so I hope my Fire Emblem doodles have been satisfying.

Anyway, I was just drawing some not-canon-Khuba-having-solo-fun to let off a little steam and figured I'd try taking suggestions about their fantasy here before filling it out...yknow...for fun...interactivity with you lovely people, since I don't really do polls or anyth...

Change in update schedule

I've been thinking on it for a while and I've come to the conclusion it's in my best interest to start releasing Boys Love Boys' Love once a week instead of twice.

Not that I think my decision needs and "excuse," but I do think my supporters deserve an explanation!

My tenosynovitis has been flaring up really badly to the point that just holding a game controller causes pain, and in an effort to keep it from getting worse I have been drawing for shorter amounts of time and stretch...

Are you proud of me mom

All done! Biggo full res is in the Dropbox!

Hiatus Pinup

I realized I didn't really announce on Tapas that I decided the hiatus would be 2 weeks instead of one, so I'm drawing an apology pinup. I called Dakota "a relentless bottom" in a conversation recently and then saw these booty shorts on Twitter and just....yeah....

Hey Siri what's a Thot?

Here's what I found on the web for Thot

Little more game stuff

I work on blbl all week so i thought I'd give myself a breather and do a bit of work on the game here. I've kind of been bouncing around between drawing, sprites, code and a little bit of music trying to freshen up on enough of it to get comfortable. I've pared down some game stuff to hopefully be able to work out a playable demo within a couple months? Before 2020 hits I hope, anyway. Im still trying to figure out how exactly to make my sprites match because they all come out in a kind of di...

Here have a very blessed sequence

This is a meager apology for not continuing Outfit August- I've had a rough week (hence extending the comics hiatus on Tapas and CF)

So here have a spoiler-free moment from chapter 5 that will hopefully be complete and posted to Dropbox by Wednesday

Lowkey forgot it was August

And then I remembered I'm doing this outfit challenge....working on the bases now, and then onto rolling dice to see who gets new clothes for the 2nd and 3rd. 

Also figured since this is a, you know, adult comic, there's no sense in putting everyone in underpants..............

I got Aseprite today!

Damn I dont think i've done pixel art since I was like 8 years old and edited Gameboy Color sprites :>

A little while ago I started working on a side-project that is going to take a million years to finish- a game! I have to brush up on so many old hobbies to accomplish it, but its a fun thing to think about separate from the comic.

To give a simple breakdown, its an RPG-inspired dating sim. Theres a lot of monsterfuckery in this one. While I have big dreams of customizability ...

A challenger approaches

This month I'm gonna take a whack at this next month. I have a pretty shitty track record as far as daily challenges go, but since this one is drawing on a base I have confidence I can do it!

I'll probably rotate cast members, so Day 1 I'll just draw everyone in their underwear. That's more than they usually have on.

There'll be a separate folder in the Dropbox for this to keep it all nice and organized so keep an eye out!

Welcome to Patreon redo!

Hi it's taken me forever to learn how to balance and be organized with making blbl, but I think I've got to a point where I know what I'm doing, and it's worth it to offer Patreon to my readers.

If you're here, thank you! I've had this Patreon inactive and half-polished for so long, it feels good to utilize it.

If you didn't see it in the thanks, here is a link to Dropbox. Currently it has comic pages for updates through July 29th, and all pages- past and future- are uncensored. ...

Update! Chapter 2 Page 14!

Check it out! 

Getting kind of close to the chapter break here, at which point we'll have a hiatus. During that time, though, Patreon will be rife with not only the pages is work on, but KINKTOBER PROMPTS! that's right! If you follow me on other media you know what October is about for me. On Twitter youll see the censored previews, but right here is the only place to get ...

Chapter 2 pages 12 and 13

Read them here!

I know i just did one but there's another pretty close up on page 13 because, well. I like drawing them.

Chapter 2 is probably going to be kind of long, so after we hit the 18 Page mark I'll be taking a break again so I can work ahead and maybe also draw something not strictly for the comic. Inktober is coming up and I want time to do that. Possibly 2 weeks instead o...

Don’t be like me

It’s 6 am, I got out of work at 3 am and I have to go back to work at 3pm tomorrow

i been slacking lately honestly but I’ve really needed the rest. My hours at work are finally able to be reduced, and some of them are overnight. I forgot how much I love working 3rd shift.

its so productive and easy, I guess I want to keep going with drawing once I’m home because work feels like a physical warm up....I guess?

aaaaaannnnyway here’s a teaser for chapter 2s cover since after Fr...

mood

The page this face is on doesn’t show up for like, A whole month almost but I just.... I feel this deeply 

The baby boy from U.N.C.L.E.

I know a movie for this series from the 60s came out in 2015 but I still feel like Im in a 3 man fandom (the other two are kahri and our room mate)

all the time I’m trying to practice drawing faster because I’m not an accurate artist and I’m a nit-picking perfectionist. so before I fell asleep last night I drew what was on my mind.

Illya Kuryakin is top tier husbando material and shoulder gun holsters really just Look like lingerie to me

....

I’m not.....entirely happy with the end product but that’s part of learning. I’m pretty new to painting and color selection Has never been a strong suit of mine.......I’ll till be posting a process gif eventually.
