Cant blame a guy for shooting his shot!

Season wise, listen. It was autumn for like one comic I know. But you see I wanted cliff to wear a jumper because I watched Like Minds with Hari and I was like hey that's a cute jumper. And it had to be frosty obviously (??). so you see...makes perfect sense.

Teenage me was absolutely obsessed with the homoeroticness of this movie, I remember taking it out from the library multiple times. I genuinely recommend it, we had a good time rewatching! It's not good, but it's good.

------------

Here are some sketches and references:

I think all my drawing from life means I can make shit up easily lol. It probably looks very 'draw the rest of the fucking owl' but.

Thank you cheeto eugene and thank you very broken shouldered 3d model. Also wrt the eugene about to sit on the sofa I drew the first sketch and wasn't super happy with it, so I went downstairs and slow-motion sat down a few times like 'HMM if I was talking to my partner- who is sat there hi ignore me- how would I sit down?' And my initial sketch was fine but I do like the new one better!

So here I borrowed another church for the angle, changing it to be the church I wanted, I then went on to ignore the angle because it was actually kind of warped thanks google maps... but it did mean I didn't need to sketch it out first so it's a win in my book.

I also made a silly layout because I love to be painfully thorough. I was like well where do they park. I must know. It's not even in the comic but tbh I do feel better knowing how the outer walls work etc.

mvp Hari thank you for your trackpad baby i love it tbh

Thanks for reading!

ran so fast I was met with an error at first lol

the sweet moment comics make me want to cry 🥺 i adore these two

Quadrant

Could always give him a job as an usher or something. Then it technically wouldn't be a date... just a casually, totally-absolutely-definitely-not-gay-and-completely-work-related-drink-in-the-pub with very subtle flirting in an absolutely-christian-way

Liam

I see an update about these two and I yell HELL YEAH

skylerscribblez

Cliff being so excited he flirted back 😭💙💙💙

SubserveMoth

once again love your process 🙂‍↕️ drawing a map of places that don't even get shown in the comic, acting out the scene to get a feel for the motion, etc is all stuff I love hearing about and I appreciate the extra effort you go through to write it down and show us! have to make it known 💖

Amy Crook

Absolutely adorable. Of course you like the jumper, it rides up nicely. ;)

FATHER EUGENE WHAT WAS THAT

sexy batman

Cliffs total confidence until he asks him to go out and gets a little blush on his cheeks jahfuebdufbjdbs 😭😭😭💕💜💖💗💕💗💖

Sometimes winter comes early and there's only one comic worth of fall. Makes total sense to me. I really love how Cliff's dialogue has shifted to give Eugene room to speak, saying things that naturally prompt answers. He's passing the conversation back to Eugene rather than trying to have the attention stay only on him. Also, the casual sleeve/arm touch is lovely. It feels like Eugene isn't jumping away from platonic touch so much now, and that feels like a significant step in self acceptance.

So soft. The jumper is soft and they’re soft for each other

Emlual

They are so cuuuuuute 😭😭😭

WilSavingThrow

STOP having nativity baby Jesus in a plastic tote has me ROLLING I love your ability to perfectly balance sweet and soft with warm and spicy, your writing is just wonderful 🥰

heyitschzva

Ahhh!! The little sketch page is so cute! The glimpse of belly is going to be this man's undoing.

De_Liller

Oh my gosh the tables!!! Seeing them threw me back to my own British childhood! Idk why that little detail of the folding legs got me!

argylsocks

1. Second page: Cliff, you gotta ask for help with that load (not the tables) 2. Mutual blushing mutual blushing 👁️👄👁️

Also Eugene saying some of his clothes are a little eccentric Uh-huh 😏😏

MetalSqueak

His excitement at the end! 🥹🥰 So cute!

plannedimpulses

it's for sure the jumper that Eugene likes. nothing else.

Error 43

This jumper would've made anyone answer back-

darkurgetrash

YES! FLIRTING! 🥹❤️ God I’m so sick in love with these two 😭😭

Beefy

i love the universal mood of "its really soft here feel it" when someone compliments your sweater

Singing_to_the_Moon

“Free him situation” got me good 😂 This is SO CUTE like the facial expressions are perfect. I especially love how alive Cliff becomes when Eugene makes him laugh or surprises him. His face just lights right up and it sparks joy.

raspjasp

amazing art and references as always. the perspective is superb! unfortunately, i would like for them to have sex

KnightSmudge

Still can't get over your work in terms of research and color. It's gorgeous!! i LOVE them.

Typhon

Is now a good time to share that in my experience young church boys *absolutely* want to show off? XD When my brother was little a huge snow storm popped up during church and all the teen boys helped dig out peoples cars. When Mom commented that it was so nice of them to help he responded, "That's because they're ACOLYTES!" (In modern Anglican church, assistants to the priest/Deacon/minister and usually younger church members idk if it's the same in Catholicism). And mom replies, "Aren't you also an acolyte? Why aren't you helping?" To which he pouted and replied, "They told me I'm too little."

I love that you mapped out the layout! I love doing things like that too when I'm working in an imagined space, I want to picture what it looks like if I was in it! Love the comic too, the tension between these two is sooo good. Cliff still flirting, but trying to do it softer so Eugene doesn't run. His being excited after??? Eeeeeeeee!!! I can't get enough of these two!

malacandrax

Omg haha. I wouldn't put it past cliff to come up with something like this tbf

malacandrax

I love that u remember that heeehee 🥰

malacandrax

Aw I didn't even consciously do the dialogue thing but it's lovely to hear! Also I think eugenes chat with his friend maybe loosened him up a bit, good for us 😈. Eugene is fully here for making a friend and this is total normal friend behaviour....right ...

malacandrax

Right oh my god I loved it haha. Thank you!!!

malacandrax

Somehow More intimate than topless 😳

malacandrax

Aw thank you!! I love drawing bigger expressions!

malacandrax

Thank you so much!!! It's super rewarding for me tbh and I'm glad you enjoy it too!

malacandrax

Oh my god I believe it haha, I remember personally the urge to carry as many chairs as possible! This is such a cute story 🥺

malacandrax

Exactly! It helps to know what's there, even if it's not strictly in the scene! Thank you 🥰

Zel

I lost my job so I am no longer able to afford a lot of things, one of those being patreon memberships, however I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful art you make. This was such a good coming to leave by

malacandrax

Aw, I hope things look up for you soon! Thank you 🥺

japanelopepe

their chemistry is hitting like cocaine bc Cliff shiny eyes when he saw cheekiness and fruitiness in Eugene? his smile when he felt that this old man still has a sparkle? this is so beautiful

LemonWarrior

oooguguugh THEY ARE SOOO CUTE AND CLIFF IS SO CUTE AND I LOVE THEM FOREVER

T0T

I truly adore the gradual closing of space between them and the framing that shows how much couch space is on the other side of Cliff

cheese !!!

This is so cute and I love it but the baby Jesus is sending me 😭

Taloo

Thank you as always for the process and references!! Inspiring! It's cool to see exactly what the references are helpful for. Like I cheeto Eugene is for angles and facial porportions. The 3d model is for...? Positioning in relation to the couch? Defninitely not anatomy. Cliff has curves and weight to him and you can see how relaxed he is <3 and his shoulders are not dislocated hehe.

malacandrax

The angle of the head and perspective, mostly! I wasn't confident in my sketch, and I wanted it to be appealing and not look wrong, so I got a reference just in case.

malacandrax

This is so nice thank you!!!! Heee 🥰
