Fine By Me (Rough concept art)

Argh... I had an idea in my head and this is one of the few times where I feel like it just DID NOT come out right lol. And that's probably because I didn't put a whole lot of thought into it at first. It was just going to be a doodle, but then I said "lets manifest Webtoon homepage vibes!" and tried to pull together some graphic design crap (I'm notoriously bad at graphic design lol). You can tell there was room for the title beside them, but I took it out because me and logos don't get alon...

Should 'a been best man

After my last doodle dump, with Jaxsen/Kinley and Vance wearing suits and ties, I wanted (NEEDED) to draw Beau and Sage in suits too... Tuxedos, to be exact! And now, I think I've plunged myself down a rabbit hole of "Judas and Fletcher's wedding" because I didn't intend to draw this as a mini comic... but well, here we are! lol.

You can't imagine how relieved Sage is that this "wedding planning" portion of the wedding is now over with, because Kinley would be undeniably GOOD at helping...

Chapter 5 - 8

Hmmm.... Hmm hmm hmm.... You know, in the very beginning of TLLT I had no idea that Kinley would play such a big role, and everyone (at one point) was surprised when I said he was a main character. Lol. But you get it now, I hope? I surprisingly don't have much to say about this update, other than I think it was well anticipated. I'm glad we're here, and i'm happy with it. I think I managed to avoid the ever-painful trope of "Omg he's in love with me, I never would have expected this!" too, w...

A little Leg (Doodles)

I felt like drawing some suits and ties <3 I started with Kinley and Jaxsen... and Jaxsen flirting with him as if they didn't go to a certain someone's wedding together lol. I think Kinley would really like Jaxsen pretending to meet him in public like this... maybe it's a silly roleplay thing they do together on dates and at important events lol. Makes Kinley feel fresh on the market again? Who knows! But Jax is damn good at it. 

Next we got Vance.... Vance, Vance, vance. Smh. I...

I admire that in a mushroom (doodles)

Some more character exploration for the future comic (Which now has a name!!! Rowdy came up with a great name last night and I got all excited I had to draw some more)... You've seen these character's once already, but as I continue to draw them they change a little bit, so I'll give you the run down!

Mio - Keplan's older cousin. He's Pansexual and fabulous. Probably has a lucrative onlyfans account, and never does anything halfheartedly. His bird, Guapo, is a threat to society. I'm rea...

Scratch that

I been feeling a little "Stylistically" stagnant lately, and was fucking around in Clip Studio trying to find brushes that I like and could actually see myself using... But it's hard lol. Here's a few, very quick doodles I did. 

I can't believe that after so many years, and so many art programs available, I STILL can't find a replica of the brush tool that I love from SAI. What's funny is that it really doesn't have anything to do with texture/type of brush, it has to do with the r...

Double Dipped (doodles)

Someone suggested Harver dipping Keplan, which was something I was bound to draw sooner or later, right? Given their dancey drama. I was also thinking that Keplan would be the loudly-encouraging type, which is something Harver would HATE lol. (We have that in common-- I HATE HATE HATE when people cheer me on too, it's so embarrassing! lol) 

Keplan was joking when he told Harver to kiss him, but... damn, he must've hit a nerve there with the sexually repressed comment??? sheeesh.&nb...

Batter up! (Doodles)

Thinking about more character traits that Harver may have... things he enjoys... how he grew up, etc. <3 I like the idea of him and Beau having baseball in common. Of course, Dirt probably played when he was a kid too, but it's definitely not his favorite sport by any means. He'd much rather take a risk of being impaled by a bull, or get bucked off a horse... or, y'know... anything more dangerous than sliding into home plate. 

How many times in Harver's childhood, do you think B...

Does anyone want an “ARCO: Volume 1” book?

So for clarity— a LONG time ago I had copies of ARCO (my previous webcomic) made, and I still have like… a dumb amount of them sitting around. Volume 1 isn’t the whole comic either, and I don’t have any plans to make a volume 2 or whatever, but I figured I’d ask if anyone wants one anyway? Maybe just for the novelty sake of having one? lol.

Id be willing to sell copies for 10$ + media shipping which is 4$ (for USA, anywhere else the shipping will cost more than the book)....

Chomp On It (Doodles)

I got to thinking about what characters might want to grow facial hair, and who I think would look good with it. We already know Sage is a babe with his scruffy face, but I think Jaxsen would be a different kind of handsome <3 More... sexy, suave, mature looking? That is, of course, if he could ever get past the itchy phase of it growing out. 

Kinley would be sooo into it though. He can't grow a beard to save his life, but having a more rugged boyfriend to live vicariously throu...

Chapter 5 - 7

Thanks for you patience with me getting this update done, everyone! It's been a hectic last week or so, and I have a lot on my plate right now, so I really do appreciate it. This update was a little bit of a struggle bus for me to get through, partially because it's a bit of a transition update, and partially just because of my life stuff getting in the way. 

But regardless, we got here! I chose to do a bit of a time skip of Fletch/Judas/Dick/Priscilla getting to the Grand Canyon L...

Lactose Intolerant (Doodles)

Just a few doodles I've done over the last couple days. For those of you who don't know, or might be new-- these characters are from a future comic idea for after TLLT is finished. I've been character designing and having some fun with them as I slowly brainstorm and solidify their story. (Check out the H&K tag for all the art of them so far!)

So-- strawberry blonde is Harver, and the dark haired one is Keplan! The top left guy with the bird is Mio... his design is not final yet, bu...

Submissive and Breedable (March NSFW)

Since I wasn't very happy with my last months NSFW piece, I knew I wanted to pull out all the stops for this one. Doing a three-way has been on my list for a little while now, and I know some of you guys have mentioned it before lol. So hopefully you like it! I had to go with Beau/Sage and Fletch... although Fletch/Judas/Jaxsen was a close second (TBH if Kinley wasn't going through so much turmoil in the comic right now, I probably would have LOL. But I took pity on him). 

Anyway, ...

Parked over the Beach

This is another one of my (last year's) Kickstarter images. Since it's been over a year since that Kickstarter was funded, I am slowly sharing some of the extra goodies that people got if they pledges to it. :) 

I am also starting to think of what I'm going to do for this years Kickstarter bonus prints... I'll have to get cracking on those soon if I want the merch to arrive before I move... Hmmm.

Roommates (Doodles)

so the top 3 doodles-- these are side character designs for whatever future comic Keplan and Harver belong to lol. You may notice that I added the original design for Keplan in the top right, BUT, that's only because It's such an altogether different character, I want to include him in the comic anyway. His name is Mio! He's flamboyant, loud, unapologetic, and sassy-- he's got a cockatoo for fucks sake. I will say though, his design needs to be tweaked a little bit so he doesn't look SO much ...

Get your Sillies Out (NSFW doodles)

Was having a really hard time focusing tonight, and since I'm supposed to be taking this week "off" from drawing I decided to just forgive myself and have some fun. NSFW doodles featuring naughty Fletch being goofy. Acting like a cat in heat or something LOL. You know I have to indulge myself with FletchXBeau, because it's like my kryptonite ship. I'm really happy with that top right one turned out!

After drawing it I was reminded of someone asking me a while ago to draw some FletchXSag...

Get Tested

Well, well, well... if it isn't something that is severely under-talked-about in BL romances (and comics in general).

I've gotten a number of comments on Kinley being "safe" throughout the updates of him making poor choices and seeking shady hookups with strangers. And, while I can defend some of his actions by saying "yes, he uses condoms" or whatever, I figured it wouldn't hurt to touch on this very real and nitty-gritty detail (post-TLLT of course).

It's a little bit spoilery t...

Small Update! Please Read!

Hey everyone! I know I just posted a blog update a few days ago, but in the last two days a couple significant changes have occurred. I'll give you the spark notes-- 

1) My cat has been dealing with odd health issues, and we were back at the vet yesterday trying to come up with a reason why this is happening to her.

2) The vet thinks that it is likely due to black mold in her environment. Normally, I'd be skeptical to believe that's the problem without any kind of proof, but ...

Put It In (doodles)

Just a few more <3 Since the soft and sweet dancing doodles seem to be pretty popular I decided to switch it up a little bit. Lol. Keplan showing Harver some more... independent moves. "All you gotta do it sit there, okay?"

Cherries might end up having some significance to Harver in whatever future story comes to be... They're not very good fruits to feed to someone else with their eyes closed though. I mean... imagine taking a bite right into the pit and hurting your teeth >.<...

Blog Update!

Hello Hello, everyone! It's almost the end of the month, so I figured now is probably a good time to give you a blog update. I try to do this once a month or so, just to keep you posted on things going on in my life and what's coming down the pipe. :) If you've been here a minute, you know this already. So, let's dive in! 

1st - We're coming up to a pivotal moment in TLLT that a LOT of you guys have been waiting for (the big Kinley and Fletch talk) and I just want to say that, beca...

More Keplan and Harver doodles! I like this set a lot because it shows more of their "opposites attract" vibes. Also... Keplan in those knee-high socks ooh lala. And Bottom right Harver looks like some variant of Ken. Love that for him. <3 I like the tension of the middle bottom doodle too... so close... waiting for one of them to make a move and softly close the gap. 

Y'know... Keplan doesn't have a middle OR last name yet... and Harver still doesn't have a middle name (his las...

Well... that's one way to delete your apps. 

I think... this update is an interesting combination of "confirmation we all saw coming" and turmoil. And not to point out the... subtle (but still symbolic things), but.... Fletch got his heart (and phone) broken in the beginning of this comic due to Kinley, and now Kinley gets his in return... I love when things come full circle. 

I'll leave you to the comments!

Let me get your number on a napkin

I realized that since it's been over a year since the last Kickstarter, I could probably get away with sharing the extra art goodies that went with it. This was 1 of 3 small prints that went out with the physical books :) I know a lot of you guys have probably seen this, or have a copy of it, but it's still fun to post! 

Rowdy and I had a lot of fun coming up with license plate ideas for this ahaha. <3

If you're confused about why you're seeing this post twice, it's because I accidentally deleted it lol. And after writing up a fun post too... ugh. Okay here's the spark notes--

NO, Harver and Dirt aren't actually brothers. Harver and his family grew up on the property next to the Bayley's and they met one day when some sheep crossed over and Dirt and Harver starter fighting lol. Beau wasn't concerned with that part so much as he was concerned that Dirt lost his first (and last) fight a...

Buried at the Beach - doodles (NSFW)

Ahhh, some nice doodles for the evening. I've had a little bit of a stressful week and I couldn't think of anything better to be than on a beach right now... Since I'm not close to a beach and it's the middle of February, I opted for drawing Judas and Fletch at the beach instead. At a private beach to be exact... the kind of beach where clothes are optional and Judas could be convinced to bury Fletch in the sand. :D He looks great all extra toasty in the sun like that.

Despite this scene being a bit boring in setting, I'm actually quite proud of how I got all 4 character's in it and let their personalities come through. Judas remains somewhat loyal to Kinley even though he's not willing to lie to Fletcher-- he doesn't mention that Kinley ASKED h...

Quiet of the Morning - (February NSFW)

Rowdy suggested Vance for the February NSFW because I've never drawn him for it before! Honestly, it was a great idea, and I'm a little mad at myself for not attempting to do something more elaborate or sexy. I debated stopping and doing something else like 3x while drawing the pose, but then ultimately decided that I really LIKED the pose-- it's just not as in your face NSFW as my other ones usually are. 

I guess that's okay though-- not ALL of these illustrations have to be super...
