black & blue UPDATE

English:

Wohooo! Finally, new pages again! Sorry it took a little longer this time 😭 I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, and that always slows me down. ;_; I ordered some herbal sleep potion and magnesium, hoping it’ll finally help me rest better and longer 😅. Some nights I barely managed 5 hours — my brain was just too ON FIRE!

But enough about me and my little issues! XD

I have no idea how you will feel about it, but I seriousl...

NSFW Sketch October (+ extra story :3)

English:

⚠️ ATTENTION to everyone who bought the single post in the shop: Please send me an email at melanie-schobergmx.at! I’ll send you the full text + illustration directly!

What took forever is finally done! X,D

I meant to write just a short text… and it turned into half a novel. I just can’t keep things brief, OTL. B...

NSFW Sketch November - Poll

English:

Soooo, since I’ll still need until tomorrow or the day after to finish THE sketch with Derek and Andy… I thought I’d slip in the poll for next month to keep you entertained in the meantime. :D

I really thought I’d be done by Thursday — meaning today — but honestly, I just wasn’t in the right headspace. Too stressed, too distracted. :( I know, I’m running a business here, but I want my work to be honest. Especially when ...

black & blue UPDATE (start of scene 14)

English:

YAYY! 5 new pages! :D And… if you read very slowly — that’s about one minute of reading time! 🙈

Man, being a comic artist is such a tough job sometimes. An entire week of work for one minute of content! Well… still better than being an animator, right? Lol.

AND hey — over 500 people are reading this! That’s 500 minutes of reading time total! 👌🏻

Finally a scene change — a new backgroun...

Inbetween Hanjo XD

English:

As I already mentioned in the chat, I’m working on a few illustrations on the side right now. One of them was a gift for Kito, who had to go to the dentist today. TnT As a good girlfriend, I just had to comfort him with something that would make him feel better!

You can find the original illustration in the MAUScloud or on the webcomic page under “NSFW Sketches” :D This one’s been slightly toned down to look fully rule-...

black & blue UPDATE (end of scene 13)

English:

Aaaaah, sorry for being a day late again! Q-Q I thought I’d finish the Kinkipedia faster. “It’s just a few chibis,” I told myself… but somehow it took just as long as a regular page (okay, without the rain XDDD so not quite as bad as the rain pages, but still longer than expected!). I really wanted to include the Kinkipedia so that you’d get 4 “real” pages, since the chapter-end illustration doesn’t really count as a page. XD For no...

NSFW Sketch August - Tentacles

English:

Hurray! The tentacle illustration is finally finished! XD Sadly, I can only show you a cropped version here again, because I’m not entirely sure how Patreon would react to this theme. 🙈 I mean, to me it’s VERY obvious that both characters are totally into it — but since they’re also tangled up in a plant, it could be… questionable? X,D

So please check out the full version on the webcomic page, or in the Mauscloud (there it’s also in bette...

black & blue UPDATE

English:

Woah, a miracle has happened — here is FINALLY, FINALLY a new update. 🙈 I know you always tell me not to apologize, but I still feel bad about my snail pace 🥺 Once Derek and Gogo are FINALLY out of the rain, things will speed up again. First, because all the rain-related work will be gone, and second… because they’ll be wearing less XDDDD But seriously: their outfits right now are pure horror to draw! So many zippers, tiny buckles, and accessories...

NSFW-Sketch September: "Role Reversal"

English:

And now, here’s a little in-between fun for you while I finish drawing the comic pages! :3

As I already mentioned in the chat: this week is taking me a bit longer because of the extra illustration, the trip back to Austria, and my mom’s shoulder injury ;_; (I have to help her around the house a bit).

The sketch for August will come right after the comic pages. THIS TIME FOR REAL! 🙈 I swear, guys… sometimes everything just gets co...

Patron Reward for Wyvrynnn

English:

And here it is — FINALLY, the reward for Wyvrynnn! :D

Sorry it took me so long! I always have to somehow squeeze these kinds of illustrations into my comic schedule 🙈 But now it finally worked out!

It also didn’t turn out nearly as raunchy as originally planned! Wyvrynnn wanted to see how Gogo would react if he came face to face with Derek’s monster. And really, there’s only one answer: Gogo would give himself to the monster. :3

V...

black & blue UPDATE

English:

WOAH, it’s (almost still XDDD) Friday and I actually finished my pages! Hurray! 🤩 At first I thought I’d slip the commission in between, but then I decided: …nah, I want to finish my pages first. That way the batch is done and you all can enjoy them right away VuV The commission won’t be fully uploaded here anyway, since it’ll feature a monster :,) Just so you know when the time comes.

As for the pages themselves, there isn’t all that muc...

black & blue UPDATE

English:

Fiiinally a new update! I’m so glad you accepted my Monday apology 🙈 This one really took absurdly long. Miss one weekend and suddenly everything spirals out of order.

This time I won’t write too much about it, because… the pages really speak for themselves. XD And maybe you can even see it: I’m so completely in my element here! Sweet, sweet banter between Derek and Gogo! 🥹🤩 FINALLY! I’ve been building toward this forever. I ...

When Maus is Slow, You Get Extra Art – That’s the Law!

English:

As the title says! XD I HATE it when I can’t manage to post at least once a week.
So… TAKE THIS PICTURE AS MY APOLOGY! I think I’ll need until Wednesday to finish the next comic update. 🙈

But… you’ll forgive me for that… right? 🥹🖤💙

Deutsch:

Wie der Titel es sagt! XD Ich HASSE es, wenn ich nicht mindestens einmal die Woche was posten kann. Also... NEHMT DIESES BILD ALS ENTSCHULDIGUNG! Ich g...

black & blue UPDATE

English:

Omg… this update 🥲🥲🥲 I completely miscalculated again how long it would take. These were probably the most time-consuming pages in Volume 7 so far?! Especially the second-to-last one! Yeah, sure, I pull my backgrounds from the “magic box,” but that’s only the base! xD If there’s a lot going on, every single object in the foreground has to be adjusted and redrawn a bit, otherwise it just looks weird next to the characters. 💀 I re...

NSFW SKETCH August - poll

English:

And here comes the August poll! 🥰

The idea came from — who else — Kito! XD And honestly, I was instantly on board. The theme for August will be: ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE! :D

I’m not 100% sure yet which characters will be featured (you’ll have to let yourself be surprised!), but I’m leaning heavily towards classic Derek and Gogo, since it’s been a while since we’ve had them directly together in a sketch. xD

New com...

black & blue UPDATE

English:

I’m baaaack! :D

Here are 4 new pages full of DIALOGUE (I can already hear the Webtoon comments: “FINALLY long updates again!” Even though… they’re always the same length 🙈💦 Only the amount of text varies depending on the scene.)

It might seem odd, but I’ve been looking forward to this conversation for a while now. :3 You know I love telling you what purpose certain scenes serve within the story — and this one is all ab...

NSFW Sketch July: Artistic Gymnastics

💙 English:

It’s officially a running gag at this point, huh? XD I said “this weekend!” And now it’s… Monday. :,) Oh well, that’s fine too, right? :D I hope this sweetens the start of your week a little. :3

This picture was a REAL struggle, I’m telling ya.
I thought it’d be easy, since there are SO MANY ways to frame a pose or idea. But that turned out to be the actual problem. You know that feeling when you go to the supermarket an...

black & blue UPDATE

💙 English:

Hurray – your one-day-late Maus reporting back in! XD But hey, by now you know me 🙈

The delay this time was honestly just because I’ve been super worried about all the increasing censorship. I kind of ranted about it at length in the chat (when I should have been drawing instead XD), but… thank you for listening! 🥺

Now, finally, here are 4 fresh new pages! :3

Honestly… the rain is starting to drive me a b...

black & blue UPDATE

💙 English:

Here we go — OF COURSE it’s Friday (and for some of you it’s probably already Saturday XDDD).

I took a bit longer because I went swimming with Kito today, after feeling kinda crappy again (maybe tmi, but I suffer REALLY badly from PMS — it’s honestly close to chronic fatigue syndrome in that last week of the cycle x_x). But it did me good, and now I feel recharged and ready to go :3

I’m super curious what you’ll think of the cur...

black & blue UPDATE

💙 English:

Sooo, fashionably late but finally here: the new (short but sweet :3) comic update!

Some of you might’ve seen it already on Webtoon or Tapas — I announced a one-week upload hiatus there because I was suddenly just… completely worn out :,) I had to hit the brakes. Aside from black & blue, I’ve got a bunch of other tasks and projects that piled up over the past weeks, and the guilt kept getting worse. 😩 So I decided: one week ...

NSFW Sketch July - Poll

💙 English:

Since (once again, haha) I needed an extra day to finish the new pages, I thought I’d go ahead and launch this month’s poll today — and the update will follow tomorrow. :3

Basically, I… kind of crashed. 😅 I couldn’t sleep for two nights straight, and then last night my exhausted body finally won — and after that I was just completely wiped. Since my boyfriend Kito is currently visiting, we decided to take a spontaneo...

NSFW Sketch Juni - Praise Kink

💙 English :

Hahaha… good thing I didn’t promise a specific release date XD Guess what: pipe burst in my kitchen. I just had the WEIRDEST situation ever — I’m sitting in my studio, drawing Gogo crawling across the floor in lingerie, while a handyman is literally BREAKING OPEN MY WALL and digging out the pipes. XDDD So yeah, apparently the pipes were installed in two completely different ways in different parts of the house. Ö-Ö Höhöhöhö…

Anyway...

black & blue UPDATE

💙 English :

Uhm, yeah… took me an extra day again. X,D But at least it wasn’t because something bad happened — quite the opposite! My family decided I shouldn’t be cooped up in my studio working 24/7, so they dragged me out and made me socialize a little. XD And honestly: GOOD. I was really starting to lose it a bit. I spent hours on a single panel, obsessing over tiny details, until I couldn’t even tell what looked good anymore. :,D Tha...

black & blue UPDATE

💙 English:

Aaaah, finally a new black & blue update! TuT No matter how much extra work I had this week — whenever an update takes longer, I always feel guilty. Even though I know you all know I can’t split myself into four people. X,D Maybe it’s just one of those creator problems! In a perfect world, I’d be firing off 10 pages a week — that would feel so amazing, because the story would move ahead so fast. XDDD But ...

Golden Rain (Illustration for "FUCK YEAH!" calender)

💙 English:

Soo, the illustration I talked about is FINALLY done! XD
It was supposed to be ready YESTERDAY, OTL… so the next update might be delayed until Tuesday. 😭
But I hope the illustration makes up for it a little!

The piece was created for the “Fuck yeah!” calendar – an annual project by the lovely Schlogger :D Since the themes have to be cute and safe for work, it’s always my chance to draw SFW, whole...
