[Sketches/Concept Art] Tender

Ah yes I had a new thick paint brush and a song on repeat. I know some of them are hard to read cause they're super quick and messy - It's all supposed to be Leon and Gilbert.

Looking for some nice angles and poses :)

[Concept Art] Spine pt. 2

More stuff for my next story. I've made a collection where I'll put all the non-TBH related posts in the future.

[Sketch] Kids trio

When I was in primary school, my two best friends had a Nintendo DS and they would always play together and show each other their Nintendogs or whatever.

One of them was literally the sweetest kid on earth and whenever I came over she'd offer me her DS, and I would stay there and just play for hours (I would've kicked me out lol)

The other one wrote me a letter someday, out of the...

[Concept Art] Spine

During my christmas vacation last year I've been working on something completely different (because I just can't take a break from making stories ugh) - a shorter project I'll most likely tackle after TBH is completed.

I already posted a few of these on insta a while a go, but this is the complete collection of all the drawings I did during my winter break.

The setting is based on m...

[Sketches] Seatmates

People who sit next to each other in class.

First one is Robin and Elias‘s ex-girlfriend-to-be. I'm often being asked if she has a name - she doesn't, not really. Her “working title“ in my script is Edona but there‘s a chance I'll change it if people ever say her name in the story. The name is of albanian origin but I‘ve not actually made up my mind about her cultural background...

[Thumbnails] Chapter 15 (Part 1)

I stuck almost 100% to my storyboard for this. I feel like this chapter’s thumbnails are particularly messy, like I couldn‘t wait to get it out. The last two pages weren‘t in the script, I added them when I was almost done with the line art for the whole scene. I just felt like cutting on the page before them would‘ve been a bit too abrupt.

My intention with the last two pages was...

[Sketches] Adults

Thinking about their hair.

Gilbert can't decide between short and shoulder length.

Elias defo long, undercut optional.

Leon has good and bad days.

And Cora becomes a different person every month.

(It's tattoos on their arms btw, I'm just too lazy to draw them)

[Sketches + Minicomic] Robin

<_< ...wow a whole post about Robin wow so great just what I needed thank you so much alissa...

I've been writing more on his redemption arc. It's challenging without retconning things but it's SO much fun (and good writing practise!)

I really wish I hadn't written him to say homophobic things though. At the time I first wrote him for TBH he was just a p...

[Sketches] Scrapped Mini Comic

Incomplete snippets from a mini extra episode I had planned but scrapped.

After the kitchen scene, Leon had confusing dreams and questions reality while Gilbert never slept better.

Never posted the whole thing because I think it would mitigate the seriousness of the previous scene.

At the time I just felt like drawing something light and comedic. I mean I draw them kissing all...

[Sketches] Gilbert x Elias sketch collection

Right now I'm working on a long and extensive scene with just the two of them. Finally. I feel like it's long overdue to show what they are like with each other in present time. I'm looking forward to it, it's gonna be a pretty emotional scene.

[Thumbnails] Chapter 12

I realized I used to post these a long, long time ago :D

This is probably not interesting to anyone, but I'm gonna post them anyway, just whenever a Chapter is finished.

maybe you can spot some difference between layout phase and final result.
