Timelapse of the November 2025 Update header
🕑 Added 2025-10-26 14:08:36 +0000 UTCHello my lovely patrons. I just wanted to share a timelapse ahead of the start of the month. I don't normally share these, but this one has an interesting story behind it.
I was trying to come up with an appropriate illustration featuring one of my characters. I usually default to Star Wars in these scenarios, and I did try that. However I couldn't quite get the drawing I wanted to come out of my pen.
Various drawings of Hanna and Lola that I wasn't happy withAs you can see, it was a bit of a struggle. So I walked away for a few hours, came back somewhat inebriated, and banged out the drawing from the timelapse. It started as an exploratory sketch, but I quickly realized this was the one. So I took the sketch as far as I could.
About half way through the sketch I found the perfect character to fit to this pose. It's Alex from Double Take! This serves as a sort of epilogue to that comic, in which the two are both dreaming of an idealized feminine Alex in all her glory. A nice dream for June, but perhaps more of a stress dream for Alex.
So I wanted to ink this thing like I normally do, but the inks just weren't as solid as my pencils. I fell out of my flow state once I started inking and my active mind took over, which made things worse. I've been here before, however. Bad inks can kill a great sketch. So instead of pushing to make the inks better, I cut my losses and just cleaned up the sketch at a lower opacity. The colors happened quickly after that and gave me no issue.
That's it. I just wanted to recount an interesting time with a drawing that I'm quite happy with, through the ups and downs. See you on Monday for more Love Space 3!

Thanks for more BTS stuff. Sad that the Hannah and Lola drawing didn't work out.
