Keeping Time Page 36

First Page| Previous Page| Next PageAll PagesIt only took me 36 pages but I have finally drawn Daniel correctly(aka how I want him to look/how he looks in my head). There are artists out there who can draw their own characters on-model, and then there's me, who is fighting for their life every time 😌

First Page | Previous Page | Next PageWE'RE BACK, BABYI'm continuing to sprint my way through these pages, so I can have as many [ages as I can manage for a buffer before Keeping Time launches to the public next month. I'm eyeing the last week of April, which is SNEAKING UP ON ME ALREADY.Anyway, I've joked about it on BlueSky, but Elena is arguably the accidental main character of this chapter. I JUST LOVE HER OKAYalso a small con...

Latte & Espresso Shot Bonus Benefit!! Get a Zine for FREE

Hey folks! I'm so sorry things have been quieter around here than in previous months, but I hope you all can forgive and understand it's because I've been hard at work on the pages for next chapter of Keeping Time, preparing for Keeping Times public launch next month (!!!), and doing ECCC preparations!For anyone unfamiliar, ECCC is one of the huge comic conventions that happens annually right here in Seattle! A lot of my fellow comic ...

Keeping Time Pages 30 + 31

First Page| Previous Page| Next PageAll PagesAaand that's a wrap on Chapter 1! In hindsight, I realize this first chapter moves at a bit of a slower pace than I'm happy with, but nothing I can do about that now but promise things really pick up in Chapter 2! 😈Speaking of, I'm halfway through with inking the first batch of pages for chapter 2, so the wait between this update and the next hopefully won't be too long!Also yes I do...

grabby kiss

You have spoken, and you wanted a grabby kiss from Daniel to Denver!!! So here's a sweet little something for Valentine's Day!Daniel has never celebrated Valentine's Day (he's never had anyone to celebrate with).Denver gave one (1) girl chocolate in high school, but it was just a whole bag of mini-Snickers and was presented to her with zero explanation so she did not know it was with romantic intentions.

February Newsletter

The sound you hear in the background? Oh, that's just me mildly panicking that it somehow seems to already be February when I'm prettyyyy sure December was just last week.Anyway, hello! Hope you're all well! Welcome to new patrons ereo and Naja!!!We've got two more pages of Chapter 1 to get through, though I'll likely post both of 'em at the same time. I've just started pencils on Chapter 2 which I'm really excited...

First Page| Previous Page| Next PageAll PagesI've been trying to post new pages once every 5 days, and almost missed today because I am gradually losing my concept of the passage of time!!the theme of this page seems to be (Rare Americans voice): B-A-G-G-A-G-E GET OFF MY BACK YOU'RE KILLIN ME

(18+ nsfw) he's back

bottom!Denver makes a return!!I find it endlessly amusing that Denver ever thought he was only a top when he gave himself the sluttiest bottom tattoos I've ever SEEN. He did this to himself!!!!

Valetine's Kiss: Who's Grabbing Who?!

Grabby Kiss won out in the Valentine's Day Kiss Challenge poll!! Which means now you folks get to decide... who's grabbin' who?!You're voting for who you'd like character A (the grabber!) to be!Once this poll finishes in 2 days, I'll start drawing the Valentine's day drawing! Thanks so much for playing along everyone, this is so much fun!

Keeping Time Page 28

First Page| Previous Page| Next PageAll PagesI was looking forward to drawing this page for so long!! I'm so glad to finally share it.Denver just wants to talk to Daniel!(Also, it looks like 'grabby kiss' won the kiss poll, so I'm posting a follow-up poll in just a second!)

Valentine's Kiss Challenge Poll

Stealing this prompt from the good folks over at Hiveworks! Vote for which one type of kiss you most wanna see for Denver and Daniel, and I'll draw the winner in time for the 14th! :3

First Page| Previous Page| Next PageAll PagesOn the last page, there was an error in that I drew the boys sitting on the wrong step, and I spent like, 30 minutes fucking around with that panel to avoid having to redraw it, and ultimately gave up. So if you notice them moving around the stairs from that page to this and the following pages - no u didn't(just remind me that I'll have to redraw that panel if this book ever goes to print ahah...

Hourly Comics Day

It's Hourly Comics Day! A beloved* tradition among cartoonists since the LiveJournal days of 2006. If you're new to the event, it's basically just comics folks doing little journal snapshots of their day, every hour they're awake!I'm not doing any hourly comics this year, but I'm tossing all my hourly comics from 2022 here for you all to enjoy.*dreadedOh -- by the way, what Jeff and I were watching was that absolutely biza...

[18+] battle of the bands

Contrary to popular belief, Denver's first time bottoming was not for Daniel, but getting pegged by the guitarist (she/her) of the metal band from Detroit that beat his band at a Battle of the Bands in 2005.Look, what happens at Battle of the Bands stays at Battle of the Bands!!!! (also we stan a woman who packs a strap-on along with all her music gear)

Keeping Time Page 24

First Page| Previous Page| Next PageAll PagesAND WE'RE BACKIf I think about the time it takes to read this page (...about.. a second?) compared to the amount of time it took to make this page (probably approaching 8 to 10 hours), I will cry. So I shall simply. Not think. 😌Since this page is real light reading, I'll be posting the next page tomorrow!! Until then, hang in there!! The boys are gonna interact SOON!

helping hands

I wonder whose hands those are!!!!Just popping in really quickly to announce I'm working on coloring the final 8 pages, and not to jinx it, but I should be done soon-ish, which means I'll letter them soon-ish, which means everyone at the Keeping Time tiers will get new updates soon-ish-ish! THE BOYS INTERACT AT LAST!!

Chichiri and Tasuki? in THIS economy?

Bluesky and I were having fun today cracking jokes and reminiscing about Fushigi Yuugi character songs which inevitably led HERE, to drawing the main¹ romantic relationship from the series.²Anyway the Fushigi Yuugi manga is over 30 years old, and the anime will be turning 30 next year, so please feel ancient with me as you listen to these two men serenade each other in a duet.Slapped the inks-only version, too, for anyone to mess around with co...

January Newsletter

Hello, you lovely patrons! Thank you so much for being here. And a special first time thank you to all my new patrons, too! (Hi Raquel, Ice, and Elana!!!)This monthly update will probably be on the shorter side. I just wanted to let you all know I'm hard at work on the final 8 pages of the first Keeping Time chapter. I can't believe we're here! I know we're off to a bit of a slow start, story-wise, and Chapter 2 is where things re...

First Page| Previous Page| Next PageAll PagesHAPPY NEW YEAR!I hope 2024 is 2,024% better than 2023.Continuing with my favorite set of pages I've ever done... more time spent with the Learys. One of my personal favorite things about these pages is Denver doing his own wardrobe change throughout the panels.

one more with these outfits before the end of the year. thank you for sticking around, you lovely Espresso Shot patrons 🥂 to the New Year!--I almost never use the "notify patrons of this change" option but I thought of a better title for this post and it's so good I'm NOTIFYING

Redone Pages 1 - 11

I told a bunch of people, "haha, no, I won't recolor the original introductory pages, it's too soon for me to fall into that trap of redoing webcomic pages"WELPThis was my project this past week, because for my mental health, I didn't want to start on a new set of pages! Redoing old work is much easier for my executive function to step away from for holiday celebrations. So here's the first 11 pages, recolored, resized, an...
