73 - 0 prelude comic
🕑 Added 2021-07-19 04:07:09 +0000 UTCWow so.. this day has finally arrived. xd
With this "starter image", my planned set, that was also formed in thoughts of twitter's picture showcase abilities (max 4 pictures) is finally done.
The plan is to publish this lil teaser comic out later, on Monday. Then I'm planning to set out the rest of the pictures later (maybe Wednesday) that have been patreon exclusives for a long time. Of course, I still need to edit the 4th picture, to be more correct what Gwen's saying there.
Tbh I feel a kind of remorse cuz of this, cuz the very first picture for this set was made back in freakin 2019. (̶̶̶w̶̶̶a̶̶̶i̶̶̶t̶̶̶,̶̶̶ ̶̶̶t̶̶̶h̶̶̶i̶̶̶s̶̶̶ ̶̶̶i̶̶̶s̶̶̶ ̶̶̶a̶̶̶l̶̶̶m̶̶̶o̶̶̶s̶̶̶t̶̶̶ ̶̶̶l̶̶̶i̶̶̶k̶̶̶e̶̶̶ ̶̶̶w̶̶̶i̶̶̶t̶̶̶h̶̶̶ ̶̶̶t̶̶̶h̶̶̶e̶̶̶ ̶̶̶n̶̶̶e̶̶̶w̶̶̶ ̶̶̶w̶̶̶a̶̶̶r̶̶̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶̶̶w̶̶̶a̶̶̶r̶̶̶f̶̶̶r̶̶̶a̶̶̶m̶̶̶e̶̶̶ ̶̶̶h̶̶̶a̶̶̶)̶̶̶
So I think I'll try to avoid these kind of plans in the future and maybe dump the pics out instead of holding back to them.... on the other hand, I gotta do this same thing with the comics I wanna make, so.... yea. So yea, the bad feeling was caused by the fact that people who are interested in these kind of stuff from me, didn't know I've kept making em, but store em up at patreon.. xd
ANYWAYS Time to talk about this lil comic:
Story:
Gwen has needs, but either she has troubles to express it, or just likes to make kinky stuff/gifts. She "borrowed" Venom's phone (which's phonecase design dates back to my very early drawings at tumblr) and made a few selfies. The whole set of this was around the topic "selfie". In this comic she returns his phone and hints she left some goodies in it, while Venom's just simply confused at first, not remembering he had forgotten it somewhere at all. Gwen suppose to be exiting the room in the 2nd panel (I tried to show that with those movement lines behind her and drawing her further from her first spot).
Venom was reading a magazine while this happened, which also suggest what's going on. For the Front page I drew Meg, my FemVenom. The inspiration for that cover came from this gif:
(if the gif later does not appear, it's the "Give her the D" meme with Genie from Aladdin)
Originally I wanted the cover's bg to be brighter, but didn't fit the whole pic (so I kinda stayed true to this gif), also did not want to make it too busy, taking away the focus too much from all the other details, when this suppose to be a smaller one, for the humor part.
The Back cover features a happy Carnage holding 2 cocktails. It doesn't show, but originally I wrote "Cocktails with Carnage" there. The inspiration for this is from one leak picture back when the 2nd Venom movie was being filmed and we could see Woody Harrelson in a hawaiian shirt (and with some terrible/funny hairdo xd) this idea was mixed with (kinda the only good) memorable moment from Jurassic World1, which became a meme: a man trying to save his cocktails during the dino-apocalypse.
Originally, I wanted to make Carnage in that hawaiian shirt, but cuz of the available space and how much was visible, I ditched the idea. (Also there's already a sketch out there where someone made this idea, I just wanted to make it too, hah)
Because there are so much bigger things in that panel than that tiny phone, I tried to somehow highlight it. I couldn't come up with a better idea or look than how it looks now. Making shining lines did not fit well, and I also did not want to erase the area around. So I guess it stays as it is.
Venom's suppose to be sitting on a sofa, thought I'd make it the same, or similar to the one I drew in the 2nd pic of the set (where Gwen enjoys herself). But didn't want to spend much time troubling with it so... I am not proud how it looks, but it's not the most important thing there either, so I left it like that. I wanted to make this pic simple and sketchy, but in the end I've spent a lot on it anyways.. xd
In the 2nd panel, Gwen walks away, giggling, hinting she left new things in the phone. She expects a reaction to those things so she ended in the bedroom (ready for anything ha) which is the final, 4th pic of the set after this comic.
I'm kinda chuckling to myself, thinking Venom only saw that "To Do list" she left behind when that scene happens. xd (kinda referencing why he was reading about how human females tend to behave, cuz he was still questioning it)
In the 2nd panel, I've made multiple question marks around Venom which was inspired by another artist, who tends to do this. I always find it cute, and wanted to try it out too. (She's "sketchydrawer", has more art on her tumblr, I think. the first art I could find on her twitter that has question marks on was this: linklink )
Venom also says something, which doesn't have any speechbubble. I've already used this kind of text previously (first thing that comes to mind is my first comic where Saryn wants Stalker xd). I think it's a way of expressing when a character talks to themselves, or it's just simply an additional, (not so) hidden speech.
I've looked at multiple references for this, used sfm for the posing, looked at my own arm for more reference, looked at magazine covers for colouring reference and also looked at my own and other's art to get into the mood or find the style I wanna make this in.
I almost made a shaded version of this, but then remembered I wanted this to look simple, so I skipped it (also, didn't really like how it looked).
All in all, I am happy with this. I am happy I can show more of these two and share the other goodies with the world. I am eager to see others' ideas what the sequel could be or just their opinions about this (and later on, about the rest B).
(Also I'd be lying if I'd say I don't have a plan for a sequel for Gwen's doing, which's still staying in the "selfie" topic. 😏 )
I'll soon make another post gathering all the pics of this project (so I can show the fixed one here too). If I've forgot to include any more infos about this, I'll do in that post.
Cheers.

Yes, I love to fill up my works with hidden details, references and extras, so it's more than it was meant to mainly showcase. I'm glad you like my works and descriptions about em. Thank you! c':

Haha I just have to say I love reading your thought process when you draw. I also love how you are keeping it simple which even then is extraordinary. I love how even if it’s simple it still has a lot of depth to it on what you did. Plus I love already where this is not only leading up to but also what Gwen did while she had Vemom’s phone. I’m super excited to see where it goes as well as this build up. You really know how to keep us on edge. Keep up the great work. 😁
