Did you notice ?? I never draw abs ! (I mean I know, it's on purpose lol) 

In the next chapter Tera doesn't wear his mask (but is he face-naked?? -is this even a word ? x) And I absolutely need to find a widow's suit for the Boy, something stylish and slightly over the top lol, so you will probably see sketches of it soon -

Did you ever wondered yourself if the artist is actually thinking of the "thing"  when they draw the bulge ? Cause most of the time I make sure you can tell how Tera's placing his thing in his boxer lol. Don't get me wrong, it's just because it's a part of his body, and I obviously love anatomy so I .. draw it realistically too. 

Starring at my screen for too long always makes it hard to size things right - 

You know what shocks me the most about the last update ?? Nobody noticed the Boy was no longer in a corner but in his bed!  XD I was sooo sure you'd be like "Ooh, did Tera put him back in his bed ??"

50C° is +120 F I think (just for american ppl)

I think I need to buy an anatomy book or a figure cause I can tell I'm drawing muscles from memory (art school/life drawing) and it's random at some point lol. still looks like a body tho.

I did think that but thought you said no speculating in the comments about the story so I didn’t say anything!! Cause how I understand sleep paralysis is that you’re awake but not awake so was like hmmmmmm how did the boy get back to the bed?? 🤔🤔

Aj

I like Tera’s nip slip lol. Also, as an American, I thank you! And I literally never noticed that you don’t draw Tera’s abs because he still looks so muscular!

Aj

I did notice the boy was in his bed! (Tera is so sweet!) I also noticed that the dark/shadow figure resembled Tera’s body, but I know you said not to make any assumptions in the comment section, so I didn’t want to say anything!

zpico

Hahaha oh noo! When I said that I meant for bigger thing, like spoiler stuff x) But I appreciate the intention haha. Yeah I thought "maybe they think it's a dream instead of a SP, and so maybe he's not really n his bed.." I mean that's fine, not a big deal, I just thought it was funny !

Aj

TERA DOESNT WEAR HIS MASK NEXT TIME?! Will we finally get our much needed shower scene?! Whhhyy is it only March 11th?! I can’t wait until March 31st!

Zamie

First thing what i think about it was "how the fuck He is in bed when He literally sat on the floor", And it didn't occur to me that idea of Tera He took him in the bed 😅 this sketch is lovely as always ❤️

Fumachan

Gosh. The way he just casually lifts his shirt like: you wanna see sth hot? Gmmmmh! Also about the last pages I just thought the boy was dreaming that. I can't really read those pages over again, I'm so scared of the dark myself 🙈

zpico

Haha it's fine! Yeah I meant it for spoilers and story plot, but the Boy in his bed doesn't mean more that "Tera put me back in my bed". Since he's not gonna say it!

zpico

There IS a shower scene haha

Aj

Oooh ok!

zpico

Haha aww noo !!! It's worse if people think I'm just dumb !! xD

Aj

👀

Fumachan

Also I keep wondering if Tera is like, really flexible? I climb and there it really helps to be flexible, is that the same for parcours?

zpico

Yeah yeah I understand, I didn't make it obvious that it was a sleep paralysis instead of just a nightmare ! But it shows a little more in the upcoming pages!

zpico

Yes! That's why I tend to make him lean instead of bulky (I mean he is but not like a bull): to kinda tell "look: he's agile/flexible. Fits better his parkour skills !

Teadolls

I don’t know much about sleep paralysis, so I just assumed that it was part of he’s hallucination 😶 now I Need to do more research i think ...

zpico

Haha it's fine don't worry! I guess it needs the next pages, as he wakes up. It will make more sense !

Aj

I can’t read the words on the sketches. Besides that one where Tera is saying “hi”

Andy

Aaaaah, not fair, you said no assumptions :))))) And we tried so hard not to assume ... in writing at least. I'm with you on this Courtney. I held back af. But i did mentally assume that Tera woke up, put the boy in bed and when he was making his exit noticed the boy having the SP moment and came to check on him hovering over ... hence the enhanced nightmare moment :P ... phew, I blurted it all out XD

Michael

Well, the anatomical part of your lost is only logical. It is a part of the male body and if you treat one area not well enough it will be visible, at least in your own eyes. I made 6hat mistake when I did a remake of Roy Lichtenstein ,,M-Maybe". I was to careless with the dots and it ruined the painting beyond repair. So don't beat yourself up. Concerning the boys widow outfit: I guess that a plain suit no option and you might want to go for a dress. In that case I would recommend two styles: Victorian black Dress with a big black hat and a fitting veil. The part top part of the actual dress might be held up by a choker (the boy has no breast so it would simply slip down). The jacket could have an Eiffel tower on its back which is extended with vines and ornaments sliding over the shoulders and along the arms and revealing them partially. The second opinion would be a more plain dress: slim, low profile but well structured. Combine it with an appropriate jacket and a normal hat with veil. Also: the community is again up for the hunt. I get the popcorn.

zpico

On the left ? It says "Tera waiting to get dressed for chapter 7" !

Fumachan

Every kilo I gained during lockdown here in Germany is awful now that I'm trying to get back in the game. I was so impressed with Tera hanging off a ledge with the boy attached to him 😳 I've done some "partner boulder problems" with a friend and it's so tough. Now I imagine the boy super impressed with Tera's yoga skills after the boy has talked him into trying a YouTube yoga class 😂

zpico

Hahaha I can't imagine Tera doing yoga ! But if the Boy forces him, i mean -

Andy

{shower scene} yes baby, bring it on ... let's get rid of stinky Tera

Aj

To be fair, he’s less stinky now because of the febreeze assault!

Aj

Oooh ok

Fumachan

O-O I totally skipped reading the part with no mask. Aaah! Aaaaaaah! Way to raise anticipation 😂

Fumachan

It's those "if I do this, will you shut up about it??" Moments. At last that's what I imagine. It's what I do to my bf all the time. "You can't know what I didn't see you try" 👀😂

zpico

Yeah, it makes sense !! Haha thank you for the inspiration! I thought I'd ask for inspi next time with the widow-sketches post, so thank you! I have no idea yet about it, tho I don't think I'll go for a dress! I agree for the veil of the big black hat (I can't choose omg), that's like the first thing I wanted when I wrote the scene! Need to watch some fashion shows to find cool idea! :3 the hunt ??

Andy

I love Tera sucking on the lollipop, period :D sorry, spring hormones all over the place have taken their toll on me. So I for one think you really think deep and hard at the shape ... that you have to draw ... for drawing purposes ... and this shows great dedication :))))))) and I do hope Tera takes the mask off to help the boy get out of his SP moment ... I can hope as much :P and I love his figure just as it is ... I for one don't like 6packs much, slight definition is preferable, flexibility is mandatory :D for his parkour of course :P

zpico

Haha yes! or you've been so annoying that he's like "okay okay fine, I'll do your thing!" xD

Aj

I thought it was a cigarette! A lollipop is much more wholesome :)

Andy

@AJ ... i've burned a dish once when cooking and tried to air out and use flowery sprays until my guests arrived 15 minutes later ... they came, they puked from the burn + sweet smell and we all left for pizza 1.5 hours later ... so my experience in such cases is not so good :)))

zpico

NO SMOKING, NEVER. ALWAYS A LOLLIPOP !!! xD I'm always worried it looks like he's smoking lol

Fumachan

Strictly parkour related flexibly. *nods*

Aj

Lol well in that case Tera canonically smells like burnt pig and a flower shop?

Fumachan

I've been found out. 😂 oh no.

Forester

I noticed The Boy was back in his bed but thought it was part of the night terrors! Ohhh, now I'm so happy, thinking Tera put him there! Also, you do very well drawing the anatomy! Can't wait to get to the part of the story where The Boy and Tera are cuddly!

Andy

yes, yes, guilty as charged, I'm at it again ... a shower scene gets me all exited :P it's not about the nudity though, i just like wet hair :)))) i think the boy in shorts with a steampunk approach to a mourning attire would be just lovely. I can see the small goth-lolli hat with veil looking lovely in his hair XD

Andy

I have no idea but he needs to shower. The sooner the better. We can just not see it but something needs to be implied at least :)))))) I still have this funky idea the room smells weird :P I'm stuck in the moment and I keep grabbing for the fly swatter when rereading the butterfly scene

zpico

Haha yeah, when you think of it Tera is full of good feelings towards the Boy!

zpico

@Andy Pandy Hahaha!!

zpico

@Andy Panty your last sentence 😂😂 haha you all put me in such a good mood every time !! 💕 love chatting with you

Maj

>Did you ever wondered yourself if the artist is actually thinking of the "thing" when they draw the bulge ? YES! I wondered. Thanks for sharing thoughts, sketches and teasers for unmasking and shower. Can't wait!

Aj

Really? I thought he was kinda annoyed with the boy! Or, at the very most, amused by him.

Foster uwu

I was thinking "it's true, at first The Boy was not in bed, how did he wake up there?" but then I read "In the next chapter Tera doesn't wear his mask" and omg, I went crazy! Now I just think why is it just March 11? I'll wait patiently (maybe not haha) for March 31st ❤❤

Forester

No way! The Boy totally intrigues Tera. Otherwise he wouldn't keep messing with him!

Aj

LOL can you imagine the boy going crazy with the fly swatter? I actually can!

LadyKya

Vu qu'il fait un cauchemar, cela ne m'a pas perturbé plus que ça qu'il soit dans son lit... S'il se réveille dans son lit, là oui, on pourra se poser la question.

Andy

looool ... that's exactly what I did ... I was rereading the scene, the goosebumps appeared, the butterflies were flapping around ... the noise was ever so delicate but at the same time deafening in the silence of the night ... the darkness was moving, growing ever so close ... forming shape ... bip bip, brain panicked and induced a happy turn of events to deter the panic attack ... the boy had a huge pink fly swatter and started chasing down the darn butterflies :))))))

Ari

Tbh I kinda terras no abs tummy it’s so cute my baby 🖤🖤🖤

_damn_rius

I'm sorry, It might be just me who's fallen from the moon (is that even an english idiom?), but what does the boy say in that middle sketch? Ohhh, is it a censored word? (´・ω・`)? Edit:I just realised that that is the Celsius identification.

k.alestra

Im soooooo jealous bc of your artstyle

Soyya

One of the reasons I fell in love with your art is the fact that you don't draw abs! It makes it more realistic in a way - we don't have abs 24/7 ( I mean like you need to flex your muscles and it would be weird if Tera was all tensed up in every picture). I also thought boy being in bed suddenly was part of his dream but I'll find out later if that was the case :D

zpico

Hahah awwh thank you! Yeah I agree!! Plus I just love male body that feels "living". Not just like a plastic doll :/

HarmonyHarp

Oh man, I just thought that was part of his dream. I didn't even think of Tera putting him to bed

k.alestra

Can we have the end of the month pls? 😫

Michael

Guys, you know that Pico only mentioned the existence of a shower scene not who will be in it. Maybe it is the boy taking a bath after another night with nightmares. I am doubting that Pico intends to give the community, at least the group of horn dogs, the pleasant release of seeing Tera without anything yet.

Nazarij

I mean I noticed he was in bed then but figured his night terrors always took place there... Ptsd perhaps related to a/his bedroom? Something traumatic happened while he was in/his bed? Would make a lot of sense.

k.alestra

We need some fanstuff. Like a phonescreen with tera oder both

Oronoro

Damn these are so good. I'm curious, how much life drawing did you do to reach this skill level?

zpico

I used to do life drawing 3-4 hours every week for 3 years lol (I know it's seems like a LOT, but art school yk) we had like 1min to ...10min to draw the pose and then the model moves to another pose. We had to draw pretty quickly (no details).

Oronoro

Wow, that sounds fun actually! All of that experience definitely shows in your figure drawings. 🔥 Did you spend much time learning anatomy? I've focused so much on learning muscles and anatomical landmarks, but I think all that stuff isn't so useful without a good foundation of figure drawing.

Aj

Maybe but I remember seeing some old comic art of the boy walking in on Tera taking a shower. It’s probably not related to the story, but still. Also, Tera is often showing his goods in the recent side posts...

Andy

Horn-dog badge accepted with pride :)))))))))))))))) and I don't really care :D even Joris has a potential for secsy shower wet hair let alone our cute little cupcake boy :))))) because there's such a variety of secsy potential ... secsy-cute/secsy-hot/secsy-akward/secsy-funny/secsy-you-name-it :P

zpico

Haha I'm gonna be honest it was fun at first, but the last year it got pretty boring, lets say 5min poses for 4h, it's 48 poses per session! I think it was frustrating for me cause I didn't really have time to draw details, it was more about body dynamics/expressiveness. Well, it's really great you've learned about muscles etc! I do feel like having an overview of the body first is helpful (global shape before details, pretty much everything works like that I guess?) I mean I can feel it now, I want an anatomic figure on my desk lol.

Oronoro

Yeah, that's a crazy amount of poses! I relate to the frustration of wanting to add details. Whenever I do timed gesture drawings I feel exactly the same way. I love anatomy too much, lol. Getting an anatomical figure for your desk sounds like a great idea! Amazon has some decent figures for around $30 USD if you search for "ecorche statue." I have a 28 cm male one in gray resin right here on my shelf. One half of its body has skin, and the other half has the muscles exposed. BTW, have you seen Frédéric Delavier's anatomy books? Strength Training Anatomy is full of excellent illustrations of the superficial muscles performing different weight lifting actions. Perhaps you'd find some nice reference for Tera in there, just saying... 💪
