ENGLISH: As always: Just add one extra day to any of my update announcements, and you’ll be right. 🙈 Why am I so bad at estimating work time?!
This time, it was again the lighting and rain effects – both took a lot longer than expected. TuT
✨ But now they’re here: 5 brand new pages! Hurray!

English: Let’s be honest: If I announce something, just add one day to the date – and you’ll be right. X,D
So here it is – finally – the promised sketch! 💖
This time, I really felt it – and honestly, I think it was worth waiting for the right moment to draw. XDDD
Behind the scenes:
I struggled a bit with the composition – because there were just TOO many possibilities.
At one point, I was r...
English: ✨ Lo and behold!
The long-awaited update is finally here! X,D
This scene took quite a bit of work: It’s raining. Everything reflects and shines. It’s night.I’m really happy with how the pages turned out visually, but honestly… I can’t wait for the next sunny scene. Daylight shading is so much easier. XD
🌃 That said – the dramatic lighting just fits the mood perfectly.
I racked my brain trying to figure o...
English: As promised in yesterday’s chat, here’s the May poll – a little update in between. :3
Like I mentioned: I haven’t been feeling great these past few days. I’ve been extremely tired, and honestly, I think I should probably see a doctor. Even my bones were aching. 😖
That’s why the NSFW Simon sketch isn’t done yet – but it’s definitely coming later this week, along with a new black &a...

Also … ich muss sagen: Ich bin ein kleines bisschen stolz auf mich! 😄
In einer Woche hab ich 6 detaillierte Comicseiten geschafft – plus bisher zwei Illustrationen für die physischen Patreon-Rewards, die ich euch bald auch noch zeige. Hurray!
Das bedeutet: Die Serie kehrt morgen wie geplant auf tapas und Webtoon zurück – und ihr bekommt natürlich wieder einen hübschen Vorsprung! :3

Sorry everyone that it took a little longer again! TuT
Unfortunately, I managed to mess up my back TWICE last week: once during a completely normal movement, and a second time while trying to fix it with yoga. OTL
There’s still a ton of other stuff going on, but slowly I’m getting back into the comic groove! :,D
THANK YOU to everyone who’s been patient and stuck with me! TuT

Hooray! The convention is over – and it was a huge success! 🥰 Now things can finally go back to normal here!
Honestly, this is just how I like it – nice and relaxed, without the stress of wondering if the prints will arrive on time. 🤣💦 Just drawing for you guys and being creative!
That being said, the convention was absolutely AMAZING! So many lovely people, great connections, an incredible atmosphere… It was fantastic, and I wouldn...

If I haven’t replied to your comment on the last post yet: Don’t worry, I will! XD It’s Tuesday evening right now, and we have… absolutely nothing sorted. Everything is still stuffed away in the storage room – except for the new merch, which is just randomly scattered everywhere. X,D So yeah… this is going to be an interesting nigh...

And here it is – as promised – the next artwork featuring the dearest and most beautiful Hanjo! 💛 (°◡°♡)
I have to admit, I’m actually really proud of this piece. I rarely feel that way about my art and usually find parts I don’t like… but this time, I love almost every bit of it! 🙈
Kito pointed out that it doesn’t quite reach its full potential because the contrasts are a bit too soft. He suggested making the ...

And here comes the first of the announced artworks! 😃 I realized I have WAY too few illustrations for Black & Blue. There’s just not enough artwork representing this universe! I always focus on the series itself but rarely on its visual presentation – even though I LOVE drawing artworks!
So, during my break, I worked on a cozy illustration: “Simon’s Kitchen”! 🥛✨ My goal was to create a mood that captures wh...

Woooow, FINALLY! XD
Last month’s NSFW sketch is finally done—it only took … an eternity. 😅 But at least I can assure you that I used my time wisely: setting up the webshop, organizing pre-orders, getting back into working out, lying on the couch and reading a comic every now and then, AND of course, drawing this picture—which took me more attempts than ever before! X,D
To be honest, I REALLY wanted to draw this theme because “Dom-Drop...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these images as a little treat in between! :3
Up next: the long-awaited NSFW sketch from February! :D Stay tuned!
Yours,
MAUS!

English: Just a quick little something in between that’s actually a sketch for once XD For the Leipzig Book Fair, I’ll be selling a collector’s box for volumes 1–6. That is, if the printing company keeps its promises and delivers on time! I’ll probably send it to print tomorrow, and then it’s time to keep our fingers crossed. :3
I hope you like these sketches as a little breather in between. :3 The $6 patrons will also get the fully colored version (HAN...

After postponing the NSFW sketch in February (which is still on the way!), March is officially SMUT month! Since there was no poll last month, there will be two in March—one to make up for February and the regular March poll.
At first, I was completely stuck. Damn, I have no idea for a theme! What should I do this time?! So, I went for a walk, put on some good music, and pumped my brain full of oxygen...

I’ve also been taking better care of myself, and things are looking up. 😄 So, I thought I’d show you the process from sketch to finished book cover!

And ALMOST a last-minute obstacle arose that could have delayed everything again. Something that came just as unexpectedly as it was expected.

English: And here is the Hidden Kinky motif for this year's postcard campaign at the Leipzig Book Fair! :D
Many of you probably already know how it works: You go to Ed's booth (or to one of the participants in the campaign - you can find information about that on Ed's social media accounts) and there you buy an SFW card and a sticker card. :D Equipped with the sticker card, you visit all the artists taking part in the campaign and buy the sfw card from each of them an...
English: Just a shorter update in between :D
Because the three pages contain quite a lot of text and depict a mini arc: Gogo is freaking out. 🔥 I've been looking forward to this scene for a long time. I absolutely love it when the boys show how much they care for each other in such an subtle way. XD Derek, who is worried about Gogo's sanity, trying to protect him from Andy and hisown chaotic life (not very successfully though 😅), Gogo, who wants to avenge his future...
English: Surprise, surprise! XD
Actually, I don't have any time for fun art at the moment. But I felt so disconnected and a bit burnt out from drawing comic pages non-stop, so I thought I needed to draw a bit of Smut in between to “recalibrate”. xD
It's probably no secret anymore that I'm reading “Jinx” and yesssss I know... toxic, yadda yadda. But I'll be honest: I can tell reality from fiction and I'm here for the drama ÖuÖ
In today's chapter, the role...
English: And there it finally is... the update of all updates! Gogo and Derek finally reunited! 🤩
After... WAY over a year? I think it was even two...? :,D Right? Anyway, it was crazy long! And I'm very happy that it's finally over! Now the two of them can finally start to develop their relationship!
I'm a bit sorry that Davido is tainting the sweet reunion with his nasty thoughts. X,,D But a story needs a villain, right?
And even if Derek licks Gogo, almos...
English: And here comes the final update before Derek and Gogo are reunited! :D
Next week: BOOM! The universe will be complete again and I'm SOOOO SOOOO happy!
But I'm just as happy about the current pages, tbh. Finally, things are starting to happen that I previously... placed for season 2.
Now the Gerda situation with Davido is becoming a danger for Gogo, who is ACTUALLY involved in things that are illegal in this world... and the incident at the gas station wil...
English: Here we go again! :D
And THIS TIME - hold on to your hats - I'm happy with my speed for a change. +lol+
Normally I'm always moaning to you about how slow I am and how stupid it is. But this time I'm actually happy with my output - especially considering how much is going on across these pages. :,,,)
Probably I'm just happy and motivated because Derek and Gogo will most likely see each other again in the next update. Or the one after that. I'm not quite su...
English: Hurray, a new update in which Derek slowly gets deeper and deeper into trouble XD
This time I really... hardly have anything to say. Besides the fact that it takes me FOREVER to draw each page because so many characters interact with each other, all of whom are designed in a little more detail. Except for Mr. Gao XD Fortunately, he's a bit simpler. But it takes quite a while for everything to be drawn (and hopefully nothing is forgotten). AND I DON'T HAVE T...
English: It's time for a new poll! :D
This month's topic is something that is very close to my heart: mutual respect and appreciation within a BDSM relationship. In my opinion, it doesn't work any other way. There has to be some form of love, affection or respect between both partners for it to work! Of course, a deep friendship is enough. What matters most is that both people are close and can trust each other.
My favorite Youtuber Evie Lupine made a video this month...
English: And finally, here comes the NSFW sketch for December that I've been looking forward to FOREVER! XD As you can see... I cheated you a bit.... and just took Derek out of the final motif. No matter what I tried - he made the scene very busy and distracted from the Krampus! And I wanted to draw a cool Krampus!
So I got rid of Derek in persona, BUT he's there as a handprint on Gogo's butt XDDD
Underneath the Krampus costume is Simon. And since you unfortunate...
English: Whooo, BABY! Finally a new update! :,,,D I already explained to you in the previous post why it took a little longer: forgot the iPad, got sick, New Year's Eve, plus relatively complex pages.
But it was so much FUN!!!! Continuing the fun from the last update! It's so great to finally have some ongoing action again and a bit of adventure and ... Derek and Gogo together xD Somehow I write the same thing under every update, but I'm so happy and it won't be long now!...
English: My dearest patrons! Welcome to the year 2025! I'm SO glad you're still here! 🤩
Maybe you were looking forward to a new comic post or the NSFW sketch, but unfortunately I don't have either ready yet! TuT This is partly because I was STUPID and forgot … my iPad ... at home during our family visit over Christmas (I'm still SO ashamed of myself for this! Kito scolded me for days! Rightfully so!), but also because of the New Year celebrations AND the fact that I...
English: Whoo-hoo, here comes the somewhat belated Christmas update! :D It's another 5 pages and PROGRESS!
I was REALLY happy to draw these scenes. First of all, Gogo has taken a HUGE step forward! For the first time ever, he has taken action for something that is important to him. AND then there's the switch over to Derek. :D Drawing the whole scene in the party district, with the rain and the people... the reflections on the ground and the lights... it was SO much ...
English: Hurray, an update! :D It took a bit longer than usual because TWO people close to me had birthdays and... as an artist, you almost have to pick up the pencil :,D As I already wrote in the chat: If you like, you can see the artwork that caused the delay, among other things, in the MAUScloud under most recent artworks. At least you get something out of it! :3
