Webcomic Excerpt (Insta post + exclusive previews of other projects!)

The hi-res upload of today's Insta post! Since this part of the webcomic has been public for a couple weeks, I wanted to share some exclusive sneak peeks with you guys as well 🥰

This includes an OC-Tober prompt list I'll release later this week, as well as some rough ideas for future illustrations and Insta Reels. I'm particularly excited about the idea of Marcie wearing huge nerdy glasses...there's just something about the image of her rocking some Napoleon Dynamite frames that make...

Episodes 1.1-1.4 Behind-the-Scenes

Last week, the first three episodes of our webcomic was finally released!! I was blown away by the reception, and can't thank you guys enough for checking it out and for your support 💗💗

Here are a few behind-the-scenes looks into those first episodes, as well as the new episode coming this Saturday. In the upcoming update, we will see inside Marcie's apartment for the first time. I have a very rough idea of the layout, but let's just say....there's a reason why I'm not an interior...

September exclusive drawing

Alex can rarely finish a drawing before Jon interrupts him 💀

I anticipate that many of these exclusive illustrations are going to be really sappy drawings I'm too nervous to share on Instagram lmao -- but I hope you guys enjoy the lovey dovey content! 🥰🥰

End of Summer (Insta post)

Ah yes, my favorite type of flora: scribble flowers :,)

The weather is at least getting colder where I am, so this was just something to say goodbye to Summer~

August Q & A, and Patron shout-out preview

Hey friends! Thank you so, so much for your generous support this past month! I was very nervous about starting this Patreon and webcomic, but you guys have really made it fun! 🥰

Anyways, this post is just for Handmade Bouquet members. I'd like to open up a Q&A to answer any questions you may have, give art tips or critiques if you'd like some advice; whatever you'd like to see. Please don't feel pressured to ask anything either; this is just for fun, and I'll have a Q&A oppo...

August sketches and requests

Some exclusive sketches from this month, including sketches from requests our Red Rose/Handmade Bouquet members sent in! Thank you for sharing your creative scenarios with me, I hope you enjoy the directions they went 🥰

If you have any other requests, I'll have another post early next month for you to send them in! 

Little shrimpy dork (Insta post)

Marcie has the rare pleasure of having known Alex before he transformed into the Cool Guy™ we know today. He'll always be a dorky little brother in her eyes lol

This post was made to gear up for our webcomic launch, just one week away! Alex and Marcie made a pinkie-promise when they were kids to always be there for the other. Without any spoilers, the chapter begins with Marcie fulfilling that old promise... :)

Bonus August exclusive drawing

Alex got caught having mushy feelings 🥺🤲 A second exclusive monthly drawing for my wonderful Red Rose and Handmade Bouquet pals! 💗

This mini-comic follows Clara's request from our August suggestions post (Alex drawing Jon for the first time)! In the original version of the boys' story, this drawing was the first Alex had made, based on the night he met Jon met at a bar.

In the current story our webcomic follows though, Alex's first drawing of Jon is a little different, bu...

Animal Crossing twins (Insta post + bonus scrapped panel!)

I thought Doc and Coach from Animal Crossing looked a lot like Jon and Alex, and this comic was born lol

Coach (the yellow bull) would definitely be Jon's favorite villager, just because of the similarities with Alex 🥺

Please also enjoy the scrapped final panel of this comic. I just couldn't get the composition right in the scene, but I hope you still enjoy the image of Alex running away from a swarm of bees :,)

August exclusive drawing

👔Suits!👔

It was so much fun drawing the boys in presentable clothing for once that I couldn't stop at just one picture. Marcie in a suit is an extra special treat as well 😎✨

The original idea behind this one was to show how the boys got dressed for our Patreon Welcome post. I would say that Alex *technically* knows how to tie a tie, but Jon would probably be so appalled by the result that he would do it over for him anyways lol

Childhood AU (Instagram post)

An AU where Jon and Alex spend the summer together as childhood friends. They never canonically knew each other as kids, and I'm not quite sure how they would interact if they did -- but this was really fun to imagine them as best buds even back then 🥺🤲

Do you guys have any other AU ideas we could put these two in?? 👀

Behind-the-scenes webcomic process

I'm really excited to share with you this behind-the-scenes sneak peak of the upcoming webcomic chapter, which will be published on Webtoons and Tapas next month! The first chapter introduces Jon and Alex in their respective lives before they met -- I don’t want to spoil the plot of the first chapter too much, so here are a couple out-of-context panels.

I’m not quite sure what you’d like to see in these behind-the-scenes posts, so this one is just about my thinking and drawing pro...

Patreon Goal Update!

Hey friends, I have exciting news!! 🤩

Thanks to you amazing people, our first Patreon goal has already been met! I am so ecstatic and I can't thank you guys enough for your generosity and support!!! 

Now that the goal has been reached, I can update Jon and Alex's webcomic more often (every 2 weeks, instead of once a month!) The first upload of It's Kind of a Funny Story will be made in the beginning of September, and I'll be sharing some behind-the-scenes WIPs to ...

Jon's questionable fashion part 2 (Insta post + bonus panel!)

Alex does a little bit of trolling 🤡 

Jon's questionable fashion (Instagram post)

Hi-res upload of today's Instagram post! Jon finally found someone who understands his fashion choices....and it's a toddler :,)

I got a message recently asking if I'd be able to provide my work for phone/desktop backgrounds. You are more than welcome to use these hi-res uploads for backgrounds of your own -- and if there's a specific drawing I've made in the past that you'd like to use, feel free to DM me on here and I'll send the file your way! 🥰
