Ties That Bind - Page 19 Pencils (Patreon)

Pencils are done? I think? I hope?!?

I'm sharing all the crazy work I put into that second panel and gosh, if I'm just sharing too much madness. I had it in my head that I wanted to show Nick's face and mouth doing something outrageous - while the opposing panel would show Owen and Judy's mouths. Really have the contrast between both scenes and using Owens' ass as almost a barrier between them. Simple enough right? But then I also had this doozy of a sketch from a few pages ago, and I've been dying to get it into the comic!

It's just... so hot to me! And gosh do I want to get this angel to work, but dang, is it tough to get the KISS and this gratuitous mating press all into one camera angle =/. Even now, I'm still not completely happy with Owens' shoulders and body twists. But I feel ready to move on - I just don't have the patience to redraw it again. I figure it'll resolve itself in the inks OR it'll just look weird, and hopefully nobody will notice because the kiss and lewdness will pull all the attention ;D

Another few minor frustrations? When I was sketching out the Nick's ass-eating balls-on-his-snoot moment, I originally had him thumbing Owen's ass. I was really into it until I realized he was supposed to be jerking off with that hand. Broke my heart a little. Finally, I also used a reference image from my 'visually interesting ideas' folder - just cool poses and scenes and ideas- and while I don't trace or anything like that - the pencils for this panel, ended up looking too similar to the inspiration material. So I might have to figure out a way to change it up a bit if the inks don't seem unique enough. I feel like ball goggles are a pretty common idea, and there just aren't really any other angles I can explore to show this 'licking up the press' moment that I wanted to show?! But also, I don't want to be pinching other people's work, sigh. All frustrations that I'll figure out as I go.

Onto the inks!!! Hope you're all digging it so far.---
