Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 65 - 67

This was never going to be a slow burn.

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 61 - 64

Ahh, young love. Can’t wait to draw a big ol zit on bb Stephen’s face when I color this in.

Gonna post the next part of this scene on Friday, which I have been very excited to share since I scripted it months ago so I hope YOURE excited to!!

Oh, worm. First goal reached.

Thank you all for joining my patreon!! I think I owe you guys some fresh content here, so I will do my best to start posting monthly prints, wallpapers, and sketches. Got a pretty good queue going (pages 61-67 sketched are going up for $15 patrons this week!!) so i have the time now :D

I’ll still post previews of upcoming pages, but I’ll also do a monthly poll for ~themed~ prints and can start posting sketchbook PDFs when I’ve got enough. Plus I’ll still make monthly status upda...

Sunkissed - Ch 1 P 6 - 10

Sweet lil Alex was dating a big old meanie. (Fun fact, the OG script didn’t have Mark show up until like...page 500. He sort of plays a big part in Alex’s arc though, so we’re meeting him sooner now.)

And because a bitch hates a slow burn, they are already on their first “date” lmao

From here on out, I’ll be uploading one page a week so you stay 10 pages ahead of public updates. $15 patrons will get to jump ahead even further with sketched pages (and eventually PDFs of...

Sunkissed - Ch 1 P 1-5

Hopping right on in and introducing lots of new characters! And in case it wasn’t clear, we are at an all inclusive gay bar right now lol

threw in a couple of cameos because that’s who I am. Lemme know if you spot them ;)

Next five pages will go up in just a minute!!

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 56 - 60

date night date night

also Stephen unwittingly walking into his future home (psych whaaat 👀👀)

Page 67 Preview

Spoiler alert: I can’t write slow burn to save my life.

This whole page will be posted for $15 patrons in the next few weeks (only bc I skipped ahead to sketch this scene and now I have to go back and draw the lead up lolol) but there’s nothing like a good old fashioned sneak peak of what’s to come. (Left the navigator up too. You are welcome.)

We’re just friends...

Who is he talking about?? 👀 $5 patrons will find out next week!!!!

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 42 - 46

It’s best friends time✨

Kea isn’t happy about this, but Mark was kind of the worst and all the hookups before weren’t much better. Her efforts to help Alex love himself sadly went no where LOL

short hair!

Alex’s prologue look! Little different than usual, but he’ll grow into his mop soon enough 😂 Full prologue can be read for $10 right here and right now~

One thing I want play with more is hair cuts to show timeline. (And after giving Alex a major chop for that super hero au, I feel pretty confident in my abilities to do so! LOL)

First Pages (preview)

Had a bit of a crazy week at work, so just going to move forward with posting all of the first ten pages at once on Monday, August 24th. BUT that doesn’t mean we can’t take some sneak peaks between now and then! Got some crazy first encounters going on 👀

Alex is on Instagram!

My favy bb boy wants to be insta famous! Help him out by giving him a follow!! instagram.com/its_okei_kilani

Giving you guys a sneak peak of what’s to come. The account will update in “real time” alongside the comic, which means you guys will early access! These all take place before updates start, so I’ll be finishing them this month for Alex to post ;)

Post schedule!

Going off of the last update, I’m going to post the first TEN pages here for $5 patrons this month and I want your opinion on how that should happen!! Would you rather have 2-3 pages posted a week or post all ten pages at once on August 24th?

August Update

This is officially my FAVORITE MONTH because it is almost RELAUNCH TIME!!! Thank you guys for your patience because I know it’s been a slow start here, but I’m excited to report that 35 pages are done (!!) and another twenty are in progress. I’ll start posting more previews and behind-the-scenes on here for you guys to make up for how boring it’s been the past few years 😂

I’m also going to be posting the first ten pages this month, either spread out or en masse, because (s...

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 36-41

Officially introducing Kea!!

i am a much bigger fan of this first meeting. She’s still short and clearly >:C @ Alex, but now it’s more in *his* face than Stephen’s. Kea is a momma bear friend, but she’s not rude!!

i also forgot to sketch half of the backpacks in this scene, but they were added to the final cut LOL

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 30-35

Let the texting begin :))

Grayscale boxes are a flashback, and if that wasn’t clear then I hope to god I can clarify it with color lol.

also, at some point Stephen may have to correct his roommate, but this is not that day.

Kalawai’a Household

Needed to know what this house looks like from the outside for one single panel, which meant spending an entire day finalizing the layout. It really hasn’t changed toooo much, but I’m very happy with what modifications I did make!

This is the same house that Alex grew up in with his aunt. She’s back on the mainland now and Alex basically rents the place, but she calls dibs on the master bedroom.

The house has two bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, a good sized kitchen, a laundry roo...

Seven months later... (preview)

Little preview of what’s to come! I’m working on a PDF of the entire first scene (fully finished) for $15 patrons to view/download, but they’ll also start going live before I flippin know it.

After the prologue, we do jump ahead just a bit. Don’t worry though— you’re not missing anything exciting LOL

I also just need to ensure everyone knows that this will not be my standard for making backgrounds lmao this panel alone killed me

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 26-29

The morning after...

And introducing Joey, the roommate and total straightman. Kinda wanted his introduction to be easily judged, but he’ll make up for it eventually 🙏🏼

Sam - colors

Newest addition to my cast of characters: Miss Sam! A somewhat chaotic lesbian that took Stephen under her wing at an LGBTQ club on campus. She made her first appearance in the sketched pages I posted here, but now she’s got some color ;)

Welcome (Back)!

It has been so long since I've made one of these updates, so forgive me if I'm rusty.

It's very exciting to be active here again! My Patreon fell to the wayside in 2018 thanks to a new job, some old/faulty drawing equipment, and a couple of nasty car accidents. Happy to report that I now have new hardware/software that's making art and comics wAY EASIER to create! And while I'm still letting my soul be slowly chipped away at the same job, I'm fortunate enough to be working from home and...

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 21-25

ending the night on a VERY good note c:

Apologies for page 25 not having tails on the word bubbles. Didn’t notice that until after it was saved, but if anything’s unclear then just let me know!!

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 16-20

(double updates for Friday!)

MISS SAM. i just love her vibes.

it was briefly referenced on page 2, but she met Stephen at an LGBT club on campus. If I can find the time, I’ll make a lil comic about that. But basically she made him her project and it is FINALLY paying off lmao

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 11-15

my kink is unrelenting teasing 

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 6-10

Sweet lil Alex was dating a big old meanie. (Fun fact, the OG script didn’t have Mark show up until like...page 500. He sort of plays a big part in Alex’s arc though, so we’re meeting him sooner now.)

And because a bitch hates a slow burn, they are already on their first “date” lmao

Sunkissed Pencils - Ch 1 P 1-5

First five pages worth of pencils! Finished versions will be posted at the $5 tier, but you get to read ahead as far in advance as possible ;D

Hopping right on into a gay bar. And because I neglected to draw his curly top, that is indeed Stephen on his phone in the very first page. Also introducing a few new characters here! I will post them in full color and give you a nice little intro to who they are.

Let the fun begin :’)

Sunkissed Prologue

And so it begins...again.

Stephen applied to the University of Hawaii at Monoa expecting to come out of his shell, not out of the closet. Upbeat and easygoing local Alex is here to help with both. Through ups and downs, they’ll bring out the best in each other in this story of love, growth, and self-acceptance.

You’ll be able to start reading Chapter 1 on August 24th at 10am! Or pledge $15 and start reading sketched pages as they’re available. I’ll be posting the ...

Sunkissed Extras: average joe

Had to finalize this character's design since he's making his first appearance in Chapter 3. this is Stephen's roommate and all-around total bro: Joe! because he's just your average Joe!!

(i am very excited to introduce him to you soon)

Sunkissed Extra: haircut

much needed haircut, coming soon(ish) to an update near you

I designed Stephen & Alex about 7 years ago and since then I've only tweaked them a little bit, so this is long overdo. I'm hoping to write this into chapter 4 (and then just suffer through the rest of chapter 3, it's fine.)

someday when he cuts it short enough, he'll look like a pale version of this guy ;o

character sheet: Mark

slightly old at this point, but I was trying to figure out colors for this guy. alas, he won't make an appearance for a long time and I can't say much about him because #spoilers, but he WILL make his grand entrance one day lol
