Reuploaded because cropping reduced the quality. I need good, lossless quality (I'm probably overloading my tablet with large canvases for no reason).

Vilkas is grace itself.💃

Some people post monthly summaries / WIP stuff — I’ll just combine everything into one post, sum it up and leave it as a note (even if it’s late). Thanks @honeybeebunny111 for the tag, she reminded me that sometimes you need to draw a line under things mid-process. At least once a month.

Turns out you can do clipping masks with shadows, paint neatly, and draw fast — instead of fiddling about on two layers (lineart and color). I’m just in shock, shock, shock at how suddenly quick and enjoyable drawing became.

If only I could do something about my “color greed”, but that won’t be any time soon. My beloved long-haul rendering grind isn’t going anywhere 😅

Practice… I need so much hand mileage, there are moments I absolutely hate.

NB: Обтравка, градиент, чист.лайн, слои, 30% основ. тени+ по необходимости добавочные+ аэр. местами.

For anyone curious about my explanation of why Vilkas appears in my blog most often. ❕❗ACHTUNG❗❕ English is not my first language, sorry.

How it all happened — and it happened a long time ago. I actually had to choose between them. No love at first sight, just "cold calculation." There was a time we ran around together. (Farkas, not to his credit, couldn't even properly protect me from a bear. But I love him too, he's a cutie.) Stat-wise he's an excellent fighter, and I urgently needed to get married and have a husband who didn't look like a crumpled hangover ass (something many Nords in vanilla Skyrim are guilty of). A good fighter, we traveled non-stop, and given that TES coincided with a certain part of my life, Vilkas became a companion not just in the game. Well, that's how it turned out. And somehow I grew really fond of the character. And it all grew into a really good story. Vilkas turned out to be a wonderful man; we've been through a lot of laughter and shit (everywhere). He gave me so many ideas for comics, I'll never be able to draw them all — a pile of ideas has accumulated that need to be brought to life. The character fit right in and still hasn't gone anywhere. I love him with a tender and quivering love, and I'll frequently be bothering you with comics featuring him. ❤️ I have the idea and desire to make a long narrative piece, but for now I only have time for situational stuff; for a long story-driven comic there's neither strength nor time, but I really want to. For now I'm practicing my hand, looking for software, thinking about what format and how to draw best. In any case, for now there's just a lot of situational snippets.

Thanks if you read this and took the time. If you've got anything to say about these two fellas—drop a comment. I'm interested in any opinion.

FULL COMICS

I think his underpants deserve their own standalone release separate from the comic, I don't even know. 🐺

(ауф)

I'm sure a lot of people have done that. -_-

Farkas with a friendly grin, Vilkas with a loaf of bread. Just like always.

Thu'um of Daily Life. Sanguine Rose. Part 2-3 (Part 1)

If you're giving roses, please only give ones like these.

Vilkas just went and killed the fun.

Thu'um of Daily Life.

Sanguine Rose. Part 1/3

If you're giving roses, please only give ones like these.

I'll post the second and third parts a little later.

P.S. Tumblr is complaining, won't let me upload a file with a whole comic page. Says it's too heavy. :(

I'm a bit upset, but oh well. But the full-size ones are on Deviant. (Kauchenok).

This restless woman wants something from Vilkas again. She's driving him crazy.

They still can't get to Whiterun. -_- -_- -_-

[kauchenoe]

😑Close enough

[kauchenoe]

Laugh all you want, but that's exactly how it happened in the game. The troll and the dragon totally kicked our asses.

Punishment for the arrogant Thalmor asshole. (высокомерная талморская профурсетка)

Situation: After the Battle of Winterhold, Ancano died suddenly. I tried to resurrect him (the console) and make him a companion, but he beats me and humiliates me. 🫠

P.S. The staff came in very handy, by the way.(Staff of Arcane Authority)

[kauchenoe]

endless Dremora, weeee

[kauchenoe]

Sorry, Serana. But I need a clean castle.

P.S. Harkon's pile will remain there forever.

Vilkas had to be thrown out of the battle.

[kauchenoe]

Annoying Lydia. No personal space. I can't kick her out.

He forgot his bracers.

I dreamed it.

"The problem is that there are some things you don't even want to admit to yourself. For example, that you want a relationship with someone who doesn't want it. It's painful and humiliating, and, of course, you'll try your best to hide from these thoughts."(с)
