Secondhand Smoke

A duo with a peculiar propensity for smoke and a state of being as nebulous to match. Meet Thaddeus and Desmond Rook, a two-in-one bundle. Thaddeus: the polite, soft-spoken and mild-mannered alter, and Desmond: the shameless, volatile, and potentially dangerous alter, both of whom can manipulate smoke to suit their every whim. Feel free to drop them a line and try your luck, you never know who might answer.(Icon by @groovy-bastard!)

Working on concept art, for you know when we finally get past the first arch, haha. No seriously i’m already  almost done with half of the first issue, the script’s written and we have @vero-valzer working on writing a one-shot that takes place right after that, that will give us a more in depth look at Port City. It’s all good guys! Ball’s finally rolling!

Excited to help contribute to a wonderful webcomic by an awesome and hardworking artist as well as a webcomic that has repeatedly charmed me with his wit and humor! Hope I can do it justice! Stay tuned, everyone!

(When you have two boyfriends who share a body… things get, tricky to draw…)

[vero-valzer]

HMMNNNNNNG LOOKIT MY BOYS ; w ; Jen is too good to them! Thaddeus deserves that hug and I’m glad Desmond is behaving enough to deserve one at all! XD

Tricky to draw, perhaps, but as I’ve said before, you manage it beautifully! Thank you!

[vero-valzer]

Look! It’s my smoky bois, @t-d-rook, Desmond and Thaddeus Rook and selections from that one Crying Expression Drawing Meme from a little while back!

Desmond doesn’t cry too often (if at all,) but if he did, I’d imagine it’s an angry, loud and outburst sort of crying where he might not even realize he’s crying until he’s calmed a bit and feels the tears through the heat on his face. And the pseudo-quote leading to Thaddeus in the next picture might be one of the only things that could rattle him that badly for… reasons I won’t disclose just yet! It’s usually Thaddeus who is the bigger crybaby of the two, he’ll cry when he’s really sad, happy or scared without too much provocation though he tries to reign it in because he doesn’t want Desmond to hound him about it.

Despite how it might be a bit OOC for Desmond, it was a fun to imagine what it’d be like if he broke down and what might push him to that point and it was a fun challenge for myself, (plus I’m an awful person and like seeing my OCs cry.) Desmond is the one drawn twice and featured in the first pic and Thaddeus is the one in the second pic!

This week’s Fanart Friday comes from our very own co-writer @vero-valzer who drew this super cute picture of Captain Atticus yawning cause the idea of doing his paperwork makes him suddenly feel VERY tired. 

I think we all feel this way at work on Friday’s though… am I right?

[vero-valzer]

Look! I did a meep morp! :D

Btw, you all should read this webcomic so you can fall in love with the above-pictured cat-man just like I did. This has been a PSA. Thank you.

“Hey Cain, what do you think of my new drawing?”

[vero-valzer]

GADDAMN- WHO TOLD HIM HE HAD THE RIGHT TO LOOK SO DAMN CUTE?!

[chickennchipsahoy-blog]

“do you ONLY care about your ocs?”

[aguydrawsgames]

If we’re friends you better believe I want to hear everything about your lil goblins

Progress on that fight scene animatic (practically key frames at this point). Captain Atticus and his favorite T.W.A.T operative, @t-d-rook

Having a lot of fun working on this using storyboarder

[vero-valzer]

I. LOVE. THIS.

EVERYONE

LOOK AT THIS MAGIC

[t-d-rook]

“Heheh. That’s right. Watch me work!”

[rolt-comic]

Captain Atticus’ Halloween Costume. Goes out drinking and raving all night, then shows up hung over to an important meeting the next day. He’s really one of my favorite characters I’ve ever gotten to develop and I can’t wait till we get to see him in a less “serious everyone might die kind of way”. Also I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, we really should get a character bio up for him, but he’s bisexual, extremely comfortable with his sexuality and nobody tells him nuth’n about it. Also, clearly he’s an amazing dancer.

Rock on Captain!

(Des really needed one too) @t-d-rook

[vero-valzer]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

EVERYONE, LOOK AT HOW CUTE THIS IS

I love the poses, how perfectly entangled they are, the snuggling, the softness, the sense of floating, how he’s so gently holding her- just barely touching her, his fingers running through her hair, HER LITTLE FRECKLES on her face and arms and legs, how their HAIR OVERLAPS, how they’re both so soft but you can tell by those subtle details you do so well that it’s her and Desmond, specifically!

And the SENTIMENT behind the words HITS HOME so much.

It’s perfect. This is one of my favorite pieces of yours of Desmond and his Freckles. Lovely, wonderful, Jen. ❤️

They’re so lucky to have her.

I’M SO LUCKY!

Thank you so much for everything you do @jenjoink!

[jen-of-rolt]

i think E1 would be a nice look :3

[t-d-rook]

Desmond wolf whistles from the back of the room and then Thaddeus blushes furiously. “Dayum, Freckles!” “Y-You look nnnnnnnnice...”
