Sandra Ref Flats

Probably the most easy to color-pick version of the reference. You might have noticed in the previous pages that her eyelids aren't dark like they are here. That's because it's technically eyeshadow and not markings BUT I draw her with it so much that it's worth it to put on the ref right now (similar to how her nails are painted) :3 

Sandra Reference Sketch

Ben has one, Evan has one, and now it's time for Sandra!

Shirt lifts up to reveal tummy (and an over-dramatic woe-is-me moment)

Big FLUMP

In this episode: Sandra passes a rather simple insight check, and Ben tries to pretend a burrito can really tide him over through all those mental gymnastics.

I had a lot of fun with all the expressions on this page, but oof was it a lot of inking.

Big page, lots of activity, lots of faces, and lots of inks. My poor hand ;;

The one panel Ben got a little split in half, and not in the sexy way.

Our girl is back! And she is excited to give out all the kisses.

This scene has a lot of writing and dialogue between two characters so I hope you're all ready. I has been on my mind for -check watch- years at this point and I hope I can convey a good sense of partnership :3

Big yellow eyes excited to see you!

Kisses! We got our girl back :D and she has lots to say.

We finally made it home! Is anyone else awake? 

T43 Page 36 Flats

This starts a series of pages where a staircase will be featured in the background and I would like everyone to know I am already sick of it :']

We finally made it home! This sketch makes home look absolutely massive but it's a series of townhouses with really really unreasonably big entryways I swear.

This is a busy month for me which I hope will free up a bit more after next week. I feel the beginning of this year has been rapid-fire for me with things to do. I'm still happy to be able to pump out a few pages though :3   

In the meantime please enjoy a clustered page where Ben continues to have brainworms on his way home. He's got a good 10mins to cool off in the lovely brisk fall weather.

This is one of the only pages I've done so far with no 'textless alt' becau...

I wonder how much louder full-volume music is with huge maned wolf ears

Staying way too late at work is a real problem, he was getting so much done sleeping at his desk too! Don’t worry, he did make it to his stop. Just has a little ways to walk to actually get anywhere :3

I'm very excited for the next scene which has been a real challenge for me to write and do layouts for, probably the biggest so far for me in a comic. Hope you all like what's coming up! ( And good lord, we're not even halfway done yet :3;; -crunches hands- )

Cold fall nights and sweet little old lady bus drivers :3

Overstaying at work can be a real issue! At least he caught the last bus home.

This page took me a hell of a lot of time as I am pretty slow at drawing any kind of even lightly crowded backround or office decoration.  This does not bode well for a later chapter in the comic but we will keep pushing forward!

Part of me really likes transitional pages though and we have a few coming up here before getting to the next scene. In the meantime Ben enjoys a very fun and not boring rest of the day at work.

Valentine's Sale

Hello everyone! It's that time of year again where the weather (in some places) is cold, the fire it on, the chocolate is out, and the roses are floating down from the sky. It's also time for the Valentine's Day Dakimakura sale! 25% off all dakis in stock (or 20% off on Etsy for international folks).

This sale technically starts on the 1st of Feb (MST) but I am giving my Patrons here a heads up a few hours early, shhh. There are a few designs really low in stock so I'd like to give you...

Magic 'I know what you're up to' wife photos. Will Ben be able to get through the work day? Will he learn to communicate? Will his coworker ever actually get those notes? Let's find out --

Happy New Year! Happy new post. I totally meant to get 2 pages done in December but the Holidays took me by surprise. Back to work for both me AND Ben it seems.

The comic is nearing the end of 'chapter 2' as it were. I haven't really labeled anything as a chapter but in my head it's sort of how it goes. The "totally doing lots of work I swear" saga is almost complete :3. Please enjoy this unnamed co-worker who has the personality of a carnivorous plant.
