February Monthly Sketches

The completed sketch requests for this month, thank you for sending them in! ✨ Alex with the giant bouquet of flowers gives me big Midsommer vibes haha

Looking ahead next month, I'm going to be a bit too busy with work/personal stuff to make Insta posts every week, but that means I can dedicate more time to Patreon content like this and the monthly exclusive drawings! 🥰

I hope you guys had a good February, and wherever you are in the world - are able to stay safe 💗

Bonus February Exclusive Illustration

✨Akira and their wife, Leah!✨ I haven't done a lot of art of Leah before, but drawing her in this really makes me want to explore her character more~ 

This one is based off an upcoming panel in Episode 4.5, so it may also count as a webcomic preview as well haha 

Hope you enjoy it here, and keep an eye out for it again in the comic! 🥰

Just act natural

Alex: just act natural

Jon: ✨💪💋OK.💋💪✨

This mini-comic was thanks to a suggestion on my Tapas page! I hope you enjoy the cheesiness here too hehe ✨

February Exclusive Illustrations

Some (belated) Valentine's smooches -- pet edition! 🥰

This was based off a request from krasniy_rowan - thank you for the cute suggestion!! I believe you just asked for Clover to be kissed, but I wanted to include the other characters' pets in the fun too (including Hanae's pet rock that she probably named Rockthalemew or something lmao) 

Enjoy! 🤲💗 

Episodes 4.3 - 4.4 Behind the Scenes

Some insight into the next webcomic episodes! 4.3 is a little heavy, and there will be a content warning for mental health/depression talk before it begins. If you gotta sit that one out, I totally understand -- and the important thing to take away from the scene is in the second BTS picture~! 🥰🥰

Valentine's Day Dinner

Happy early Valentine's Day!

Alex gets put in charge of his and Jon's V-day dinner for the first (and last) time 🤡✨

Send in your February (or Valentine's Day) sketch requests!

Comment your ideas for our monthly sketches below! ✨ Because V-Day is this month (and because we all know I'm cheesy as hell), feel free to suggest some cute, cuddly prompts as well. There's a February prompt list from @VioletteNouvel on Instagram that's really sweet too - if you'd like to pick something from there!

This Patreon is SFW though, so I may not draw anything too spicy :,) Other than that thoug...

Episodes 4.1 - 4.2 Behind the scenes

Some thoughts on the upcoming episodes! Admittedly, the plot point of "Alex goes to therapy" doesn't sound very exciting on paper, but these episodes play a big role in his overall character arc~! ✨

January Q&A and Patron shout out preview

Hey friends!! Can’t believe this month’s q&a slipped my mind this morning, sorry for the delay 😭😭

Send in any questions you have (webcomic/OC related or not) and I'll be happy to answer them! Please don't feel pressured to ask anything either if you can't think of anything this month. 

I look forward to answering what questions you have!! 🥰

January Monthly Sketches

Sketches from your drawing suggestions~! Thank you for sending them in this month, and I hope you enjoy the shenanigans 🥰

(On Marcie's dream career page - if it wasn't clear in the drawings, her ultimate goal is to become a rock star! Of the three main characters, she is the most musically talented, so the dream wouldn't be impossible for her to achieve 👀✨)

DJUNGELSKOG

More of a silly post for today ✨

I was scrolling through my Pinterest board for Alex, and came across these images that really made me laugh lkjlkjk

If you'd like, you can check out his board as well here! https://www.pinterest.com/sawah_draws/alex/ There are so many chaotic images that I wanna draw him in down the line 👀👀

Episodes 3.5 - 3.6 Behind-the-scenes

In the upcoming episodes, Jon and Alex continue their night together, and the line between platonic and romantic starts to get a little blurred...👀✨

Here's something a little different  for this BTS post! I'm still trying to find a balance between showing you guys previews of the upcoming updates and completely spoiling what happens -- so rather than showing all the sketches for an episode, I want to instead talk about just a small scene in each. Let me know if you like this f...

Bonus January exclusive comic

✨Sibling shenanigans✨

This idea was suggested by Claraldbb, thank you for sending it in!! You had originally said you wanted to see them using Akira's tattoos as a coloring book, but it kinda turned into vandalism from Hanae...😅

Akira will undoubtedly have her revenge someday though, perhaps in another future sketch request >:,)

Paint water

This is the last time Jon stole Alex's cup lmao

Idk how many traditional artists on here that can relate -- but I am guaranteed to accidentally drink my paint water at least once whenever I paint haha :,,) At least my watercolors use honey as a binding agent, so that means it's edible, right? 🤡

Episodes 3.3-3.4 behind-the-scenes

Some things to look forward to in the upcoming comic episode ;)

I really apologize for getting this BTS out a week late; time really got away from me in the New Year -- but! We are back on track now, and I hope you enjoy seeing some of the work that went into the next comic episodes!! ✨✨

January exclusive comic

An incredibly mushy comic for this month's exclusive post! 😭💗 Alex can be Extremely clingy sometimes -- I like to think that Jon pretends to just tolerate it, but secretly really appreciates the attention :,)

Meetcute part 2 (webcomic excerpt)

Another excerpt from our webcomic this week! Jon and Alex finally break the ice and have a proper conversation :,)

Send in your January drawing ideas!

Can't believe it's already 2022 :,,,)

Thank you guys for making 2021 so fun-- starting on Patreon and being able to interact/create for you has been really, really special 😭💗

Sappiness aside -- send in your sketch drawing ideas for this month! I'll share all the drawing requests at the end of the month, and may use a couple ideas for our Patreon-exclusive illustrations.

If you're a new Patron here and weren't a part of the last month's request post, feel free to look i...

Meetcute part 1 (webcomic excerpt)

Jon and Alex's long awaited first meeting in our webcomic!! Though....it doesn't go very well at first lmao

Chapter 3 is probably my favorite chapter of the whole story. At long last, romance is introduced in this romance comic, and drawing these two's growing friendship always makes me soft 😭💗

December Q&A and Patron shout-out preview

Happy New Years, friends!!! Here's our monthly Q&A post~! Feel free to send in any questions you may have (webcomic/OC related or not) and I'll be happy to answer them. Please don't feel pressured to ask anything either if you can't think of anything this month. 

I look forward to answering whatever questions you may have, and have a great rest of your 2021!! ✨✨

December monthly sketches

Ugly Christmas sweaters, dinos, and flowers~ Thank you guys for sending in your sketch ideas!! This month's requests were a lot of fun to draw - particularly the one with Jon and Marcie interacting. I feel like when they're left alone, they would treat each other much like a brother and sister 🥺🤲

Hope you enjoy this round, and have a happy New Year!! ✨✨

Decorating for Xmas

Some sweet timeskip family decorating with Junpei, Alex, and Bee~ 🥺🤲

Happy holidays, friends!!! I hope you've enjoyed this month and have a great new year! 🥳

Episodes 3.1 - 3.2 Behind-the-scenes

Chapter Three of our webcomic begins this Saturday, and at long last....Jon and Alex will meet in the story!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Here are some of the sketches I used in the episodes (hopefully they don't spoil anything!) and some insight about the bar they're meeting at. 

While working on these pages, I had the biggest, stupidest grin on my face haha. This chapter is one of my favorites of the entire comic; I really hope you enjoy it too! 

Bonus December exclusive comic

😈Prank war!😈

....or a lack thereof lmao. I don't think Jon has a mean bone in his body, and the others don't have the heart to stop him :,)

This drawing idea was suggested by Rachel! Thank you for sending those in earlier this month; I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the sketches coming this Sunday~! 🥰

Rate his fit

I finally found an aesthetic that fits Alex! ✨ Comfy couture ✨ His entire wardrobe would consist entirely of hoodies if given the choice haha 

December exclusive drawing

The colder weather is just an excuse for more cuddles >:)

I hope you enjoy this month's exclusive piece! To be fully transparent, I'm gonna be just a bit too busy with creating the webcomic pages and prepping for holidays to create any long Patreon-exclusive comics this month. The 2nd exclusive piece, as well as the monthly sketches, are on track to be posted like usual though, and I may have a mushy mini comic in mind for January! 👀✨

Thanks so much again for your support ...

The break-up (Webcomic excerpt)

An excerpt from our webcomic that'll be posted on Instagram later today! Drawing Jon sad is never fun aha :,,)

On an unrelated note from the comic plot, it's been really, really interesting to see people's (and even your guys's) reactions to the episodes on Webtoon! I love reading the comments and seeing how people interpret the characters' interactions and little clues in the panels. 

In regards to this excerpt -- I won't say much, except that flowers have always been a mean...

Episodes 2.11-2.12 Behind the Scenes!

Some sketches and thoughts on the upcoming webcomic episodes.

I love using color in this comic, but some weeks are harder than others to choose a meaningful palette. The idea of using pink/purple as a narrative tool was kind of an "a-ha!" moment this last week, so I wanted to share that discovery with you too! I hope it doesn't come off as too pretentious or confusing though haha ✨✨

Send in your December sketch requests!

It's that wonderful time of the month again when you guys get to request what silly and random sketches we'll make! :D 

If you have an idea you'd like to see, leave it in the comments below! (You're not required to do so if you don't want to/can't think of anything, of course.) I'll share all the drawing requests at the end of the month, and may use a couple ideas for our Patreon-exclusive illustrations.

If you're a new Patron here and weren't a part of the last month's reque...

Smooches for all

Was feeling quite sappy this week, so here are some smooches to spread the love! 🥺🤲💗
