IKOAFS Cover update

IKOAFS recently became an Early Access series on Tapas, and part of the launch was updating the cover artwork for the comic! I'm super happy with how these turned out, though now I wish I could go back in time to make the first few chapters look this nice 😭✨

Sometimes sitting in silence with someone else feels better than talking things out <3

Marcie's valentine πŸ’—

Tis the season for smooches, cuddles, and really sappy posts! 

I've recently gotten some messages/comments asking if Marcie will have a love interest in the comic....and the answer is ✨yes✨

I'd like the reveal to be a surprise though, so this will be the only preview of her future relationship you'll get for now~ 😈

January exclusive comic

Thank you for the monthly drawing requests that inspired this comic! Poor Alex has been going through the wringer this month in our webcomic -- hopefully this makes up for some of that πŸ₯²πŸ₯² I also had a very specific meaning in mind when Alex answers that the sunset is beautiful today, but I'd love to hear how you guys interpret that line! 

There has also been an increase of Patrons this month -- whether you're a new or old member, welcome and thank you so much for your support...

Episode 8.1

Our very first early access webcomic episode! I just wish it was a happier one to start off with πŸ₯² Also, no behind-the-scenes this week, but next episode I'll have some notes to share! πŸ‘€

Like the content warning says, this chapter will be a little heavier than the rest of the comic (though I promise there's a happy ending to it!) If that's not something you want/are able to read right now, I totally understand! 

Otherwise -- thank you very much for your support on here,...

Mistletoe

Happy New Year!!

This began as a redraw of my mistletoe drawing from 2020: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJEmeqfF3-s/ -- but it turned into a timeskip-family-Christmas party πŸ˜­πŸ’—

Jon and Alex's future daughter Bee is in Marcie's arms on the right, and the curly-haired character with only the back of their head shown on the left is unconfirmed for now....but you're welcome to guess who it is πŸ‘€βœ¨<...

December exclusive illustration

This month's exclusive illustration, thanks to a request by Sunnieboy17, who asked for polaroids of some random moments from the gang! I thought it would be fun to have the moments be from the sketch requests this month too! πŸ‘€πŸ“Έ

Hey hey~! Hope you guys are having a good end to 2022! Thank you so much for the support you've given this year -- my comic and work genuinely could not be here today without it πŸ˜­πŸ’—

Episodes 7.15 - 7.16 Preview/BTS

Coming up for the finale of Chapter 7 this weekend: a few Marcie/Jon friendship moments I'm desperate to draw more of -- and the return of Theo...πŸ‘€β˜•οΈ

Plus a little foreshadowing at the end of Ep 7.16 for the next Chapter. All the talk and set-up of how Alex is still affected by his ex and how he uses temporary solutions to cope will finally come into play ✨

Thanks so much for reading this monster of a chapter -- I really look forward to begin the next one (that is hopeful...

Alex, early 20s

A rare look at skinny, mullet-Alex πŸ‘€

I've been rethinking Alex's backstory recently - including figuring out what he used to do for work. In this current draft, he's had to do a lot more manual labor than I originally wrote.......so that is my excuse for drawing a very toned Alex this week 🀑

Episodes 7.13 - 7.14 Behind-the-Scenes

Who's ready for some traumatic backstory?? πŸ‘€

I am equal parts very excited and very nervous to share the next few episodes haha ✨ In my original script, I wasn't going to share anything about Alex's ex -- but felt it was a necessary set-up for the next chapter. 

I'm also going to change our BTS posts a bit for future episodes; I'm frankly running out of things to talk about each week and feel like I often repeat myself 😭 Instead, I may just share a few WIP panels or p...
