Can't focus on work so I thought I'd drop by with a random WIP/chat post.

#126 is kinda special to me and I just figured out why. It occured to me today that my NSFW illustrations often have this sense of "there's an audience watching so let's put on a nice performance for them". But with the ones like #126, I don't really get that feeling. It feels more intimate, closed-off to the world, like a "nobody's invited, and there's no one here but us" kinda thing. And I like that because it feels like a reflection of my current state of mind, which is nice for a change.

Anyway I included a second version of SG126 (download attachment below) because I just realised the one I posted previously was a little too 'processed', and this is the original version. Line sketches like in WIP 2 always look the prettiest, but the cleaned-up artwork in WIP 3 usually have more commercial value. WIP 1 is trash

It does feel more intimate, and I have to say these last two secret gardens seem to carry EVEN MORE feelings than before. Very romantic and somehow very private... 💙

ladylibris

I was dozing off on the couch, and this just woke me all the way up! Good morning!! 🥰

Christina Agan

Sleep? Who needs sleep? Nah, I’m good. I’ll just stay awake and stare at this hotness......

BegoniaRex

oooh, I love seeing process sketches! Don't ask me why, but it's fun to see the first draft and the different iterations it goes through. And I honestly love this drawing so much. I don't usually go back and look at SGs super often, but something about this one is so soft and sweet and intimate and I keep coming back to look at it. It's honestly a lovely moment. It goes so well with the colored image you shared last week of them sitting together. It feels like a continuation of the same moment.

HanShotFirst

Very easily my favourite of the intimate ones. It's the way he holds her and drops the kiss onto her back. It reminds me of my husband and me.

Christina Agan

Also, I need to add that the last full color SG pictures you posted with Poppy in Tora’s lap wearing his hoodie had such a wonderfully intimate feel to them. A sort of peaceful softness. These sketches have the same feel. A sense of privacy and real intimacy. I love them.

Lyubov

As always, everything is great Lily 👍💋💕

Olivia Cheney

Lily I love how wonderfully intimate these sketches are. You're right. They're their moment. The way Poppy's phone is still clutched in her hand like they found themselves in the mood mid cuddle. The way he clutches her to him so tenderly. The soft and tender kiss on her shoulder despite the fact her face is creased in pleasure. You are able to captive a perfectly private and intimate moment without any words.*chef's kiss*

LouCas27

Wait, is she holding a phone?! 😳 The kiss on the back 🥰🔥

I am just here to say that I am excited for Saturday! Waiting for a new awesome chap! AAAA Take my wallet Webtoon! Take me Tora!

Lyubov

But I'd love to see your oldest sketches, the way you originally saw the characters ☺️

Kimi Kimja

I agree with you on the feeling of intamacy. It feels normal. It feels closer to what I know to be real and makes me like the charactors more. To be honest in my mind I separated MPL Tora and Bobby from the Secret Garden duo. I realized it is the audience/intamacy thing. Im old school and like this more...actually you have a life long fan in me but today you taught me something about myself.

EIIisemme

It’s beautiful—I enjoy seeing the art manifest from a few errant lines to an actual moment in time for this beloved couple. This is a rare treat. If more WIPs/ progressions were to fall into the secret garden tier… I wouldn’t mind 🥰😉

Celestia

Good things come at 1am lol. Love this. I'm echoing the sentiments of everyone else but I love the raw intimacy here. It's not even coloured but this has become one of my fave pieces from this page.

Elspeth Brown

For sure it feels like a very intimate living moment, very tender, it's sexy but doesn't feel smutty. I love your dedication to getting it just how you want it.

BlueCaty

126 along with SG77 and the colored image with them sitting together are my all time favorites. And this is exactly the reason. Undisturbed intimacy. Real. And somehow these images speak of love and tenderness, of abandon and trust. I cannot love them more.

Angel Reid

I love the way he's kissing the back of her neck. It is sexy but also very romantic.

Amanda Miranda

The kiss 😚 on the back is the best feeling! 🥵 🔥❤️🔥

Gizemdrawssometimes

Its my birthday today and I woke up to thisss🌟🌟🌟🌟👏👏👏👏🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊 thank you Lilydusk😚❤

SOPHIA A

I love the thought behind your process. So amazing. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

Gaukka

I also like them more like this! There's a lot of details on their expressions that get lost in the translation, when you jump from the "heat" of the draft to the "rationality" of the clean up process. Love your work!

Nordorr

❤️❤️❤️

Schkaka

I truly love how all your art is so full of emotions and i can literally feel the desire and want rolling off of this one.❤

Claire

The intimacy is so sexy. Details too like holding the bed sheet, eyes closed, brows furrowed, mouth open. It takes closer inspection to realize WHY this is such a beautiful piece. I love seeing the progression!

Erin S.

The sentiment of "there's no one here but us" is palpable in this one. Especially after the current chapters alley "performance" this feels like such a tender moment where they both feel unguarded with each other. I just can't get enough of these two! And I'm loving these thought process WIP chats! They feel like having a peek behind the curtain but also a quick chat over tea with friends ❤

Pengwyn

Well that's one way to wake up. Excuse me while I take a cold shower. 🥵

MajMozzie

A great day it is!!! What we all need in the morning xo… every morning… I mean at least once a day. Lol

Pauly UM

So great Way to begin my Day

kinkajou

Waking up to this surprise is the best

Michelle Tamporello

I love the intimacy !!!❤️ Have a great day lily 😁

Naatta

I think that's one reason I really enjoy your art. Even if they're "putting on a show" your characters still always feel intimate. They care about each other, even when being goofy or a show off.

Cyndal

When I started reading Webtoons I never thought I'd get attached to the characters. Then I met Tora and Bobby. I fast pass every episode because I can't stand to wait and see what our cute little couple is up to. Their love store is intimate on another level and this sketch really captures that intimacy that's in the heart of their story. Lilydusk, please don't ever stop what you're doing. ♥️ It's amazing and rare.

Anne Haines

This illustration is absolutely my favorite one. You completely nailed the intimacy between them, and it makes this pic sooooooooo sexy.

TicklemeAli

Personally I’m so happy you went back to the sketches. I also love when you do mini short stories, but there’s something about the way you draw them in those situations that feels so intimate and inviting. Just to see them and think about what they might be feeling or thinking. I’m loving it you make magic each and every time! You have my support for ALLL ETERNITY! 🦦💨💨💨💨

Jill .

Just 💜

TottyB

I am loving your erotic artistry!! There is nothing like a body party for just two invitees!! Lily, what is it that Poppy has in her hand? A mobile phone for filming a personal 'home movie' *blush* or a wad of cash? *eyes wide open*

LW

❤️❤️😫😫

loveandpeace44

I was thinking that too. I just love the way he’s holding her, like she’s the most precious thing to him 🥺

Amy Crumbaugh

Yes! That’s exactly what makes this SG so hot! I couldn’t pinpoint it before, but it absolutely feels like a private, intimate moment. There’s nothing performative about it - they’re just lost in each other.

Emily Basso

Isn’t it funny how people just respond to something so strongly and not know why? I think all of patreon saw this and connected right away. It pulled us in, made us feel part of something special and sacred. And like Amy, I can’t pinpoint why. Their facial expressions have been beautifully absorbed like this before… but this time it feel personal. It feels emotional. Maybe it’s just the magic that a creator casts when they truly connect with it themselves? When someone feels a strong emotion when they create, I find that translates to us in some otherworldly way. Whatever that *magic* might be, I’m thankful for it. It keeps us looking for more of it. And helps us want to create it too 🥰

Green Eyed Soul

Awwww 🥺 I’d love to see more of those intimate moments❤️

Emily Jones

🥳🥳 It’s my 31st birthday today! 🥳🥳Thanks Lily! That was a fun birthday surprise to wake up to!

lily_ofthevalley

This one is just *sighhh* so good. The position itself is so intimate, and the way he's holding her close to him and half biting/kissing her. It's just all wrapped in a blanket of trust between them and so obvious they cherish each other ❣

Bonny Rozzi

Is she holding her phone or a mirror? Hmmmm?😏🐯🍓

Sofia

I love your NSFW sketches! This one's so sensual! You're the only one who can make me laugh my ass of and drool at the same time 😂 This one adds to my alltime favorite boobs as earmuffs sketch, the movie theater NSFW and the garage story! You made the pandemic so much more endurable for my freshly split up single self. Lots of love 🙌❤️❤️💕❤️

Cass the Bass

I do love seeing this intimate side of Tora. It makes him even sexier 😉

Sarah Hernandez

I love all your NSFW art (😏🤭🔥), but this one...🥺😍🥰🔥

Megan

This is my first ever patreon and it was the best decision of my life.... *sigh* they're just both so perfect and beautiful

Othila Vaillette

This is hands down my favorite picture! I genuinely love it so much!! 😍😍

Rachel-louise McGhee

I love the passionate pictures more than smut (won't turn it down tho lol) so I totally feel the "us" vibe 🙌🖤 Also i loved the sketchiness of the first one! None of your work is trash!

Jenn

Forget poppy and tora… lets talk about Mrs and Mr Lilydusk 😬😂

Anonymous

So funny I was just thinking it's none of my business but I feel like Lilydusk has real life experience with super doing sexy man/men. Her illustrations are just too accurate and detailed to be made up. 😅 Go on Lilydusk!

Jenifer

LOVE seeing the process
