AND WE'RE BACK. Turns out that the Bottomstarion comic was just what I needed to get my groove back on and now I'm excited to pick up this comic again. These are the sketches for the next 3 pages, and the comic will total at 10 pages (assuming I don't add anything else, lol).

It's not news to me that, especially when a project starts to frustrate me, it's a good idea to pick up something different and more "familiar" to renew my confidence in myself. It's especially important to do that BEFORE you start to get to the point where drawing is, in itself, an anxiety-inducing activity. I think this may have been my personal technique for avoiding burn-out throughout all these years 🤷just thought I'd share in case that's reassuring to anyone else.

None of my thoughts about this are coherent so: mmmmm yummy yay!

Oh that last frame is going to be exquisite, I just know it! It’s already lovely, and I’m excited to see where your handling of lighting takes it. I have no skin in this game at all, but I’m enjoying all the skin i see :D

LuinenBluewater

I love them they're adorable, I'll never get tired to see them in your style. It's perfection 🤌🏻 And yes, as an artist, I do something very similar, it's good to hear I'm not the only one 🙏🏻

Alexandra Burton

Literally bought the game because I fell in love with your art of the lads 🙏🏻

NoXturne

So sweet! The last panel is going to look amazing—I can’t wait to see the final version! I really love this couple!

Love your sketch posts so much, to see how much changes between this and the finished version, never fails to amaze me

sleepwellplease

These boys are killing me 🥺❤️ I’m so glad you found the inspiration. I’d have an empty spot in my heart if you didn’t finish it. (But of course, never feel any pressure, you do you.)

people make fun of the idea that characterization can come through porn art but theyre wrong, these two have such a fresh energy compared to astarion and drow, I keep going back to admire individual panels this one is gonna be so good.

henry and hans are always so desperate for each other and i think you’ve done an incredible job capturing that with that last panel especially. i cant wait to see what you do with this!

Rez

I just started KCD2 and it’s amazing. Love this

Robyn

Aww you can really feel the tenderness and the love ❤️❤️❤️ also is that bottom Hans or just Hans' bottom? 😂 either is fine of course. Love the expressions and glad to hear you're feeling better about your art!!! We're very much enjoying it 😎

Ripley

So excited!! I also love that you have a system To prevent burnout, I feel like I frequently push myself on things I enjoy until I don’t enjoy it anymore. I adore how you draw these two so thank you!!

Poe

Thank you for supplying Hansry pizzle ❤️ Incidentally this week's (month's/year's) drinking game. Prost! (Sorry Henry, that plum schnapps is good for your digestion I'm sure..)

GET THAT BIG DICK BOI

Mean Boss Be Praised 🙏 The way you draw them makes my heart clench up... Ugh I can't wait to see what you write... Their love story is inSANE. The yearning. The secrecy. The danger. Their ironclad bond that cuts past all of it. Fucking hell we were so spoiled this year. Not least for the genius that is Meanbossart😭

Corine

you capture them perfectly!

🥹 i lov thems. So gentle

Prickly papaya

My god… Henry gently ordering Hans around, his eyes closed… Hans keeping the braies on… this is straight out of the dreams

The artwork is great, as always, but I am really drawn to the story. Outside of neolithic shock and awe depictions of male love cranked out by perverse capitalistic fuckwits, I had no real exposure to the reality of it. The same overly aggressive story of one man holding another down and pumping them regardless of their obvious discomfort was all that ever seemed to be offered as a reference. I hated it. Not because it was male on male but because of brutality of it. I always worried men sacrificed comfort for love. So, regardless of the explicitness of the content, you are doing a great job of changing perspectives into those hidden worlds. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, enough of that and back to making artistically lewd comments.

This is *Henry voice* beautiful. I love everything about this and how you render them.

Mz Amnesia

awwwww his nuts make a little heart :3

MEANBOSS

Oh they're practicing some old-fashioned intercrural sodomy. It will be clearer in the final!

MEANBOSS

I have a lot of thoughts about how gay sexuality (sexuality overall, but naturally my own perspective takes some precedence) is depicted both in mainstream media and in fandom. I'm not going to pretend that my art is a social statement because it isn't, but I do hope to expose people to aspects of the same that I feel aren't depicted as often as the very strict bottom/top, catcher/pitcher formula that I see most.

MEANBOSS

This doesn't take away from the observation at all, but since this IS a sketch - that is henry's dick-head, LOL.

Mz Amnesia

OH!--awww his dickhead makes a little heart :3

turtleurtle

I love gay sex oh my god.

Lisa-and-Shadow
