There’s a holiday event going on over at lupiniii.club where each day a piece of fanart or fic is revealed, along with a prompt! Other folks can join in if they want and do a piece for the daily prompt, which is chosen by the artist of the day! It’s been real fun to sketch these in my sketchbook every day so far.

Day three was my day to post my big piece, and my prompt was “shopping”.

Sketchbook Shoutouts – 39

Four shoutouts for my Private Collector gang, it’s always really fun to draw folks’ ocs and some cute Lupin/Jigens!

Every month that someone pledges to the Private Collector tier on Patreon, they get an inked doodle shoutout that appears in my monthly sketchbook, usually waist up and a max of two characters. The request acts as mini commissions and folks can ask for their OCs, my OCs, or any kind of fanart.

Coming Out

Comic with four panels, done in black and white with halftones. Panel one shows a young Jigen with his back to the camera and his shoulders tense. He says “So…?” Panel two, a larger panel with a close up shot of his face as he turns around and looks to the right, his expression is pained and there’s a tear in his eye. He yells “Doesn’t that bother you?!” Panel three is a wide panel with young Lupin in the center from the shoulders up. He’s mad as Jigen accuses him. He says “No. Should it?” Panel four is an open panel of the two boys looking at each other from a side view. Jigen is leaning back away, while Lupin leans in closer with a determined and expectant expression.Comic with three panels, done in black and white with halftones. Panel one floats atop a big open panel. Young Jigen is startled and unsure of himself, he says “N-no…” Panel two is a big open panel with no borders or backgrounds, it shows a confident young Lupin with his hands on his hips and his eyes closed. He says “I mean my grandpa is into guys too, you know. So I know what’s up!” Panel three is a big wide panel with Jigen in the center from the waist up. He’s blushing and looking down and to the left with his shoulders by his ears, still a bit tense, but smiling now. He says “Uhh, yeah. Okay. Cool.”

An idea I’ve had for a while, even before Zero, but after Zero came out I thought that’d be the perfect way to present the idea.

This page in particular, the dialogue has been floating around in my head for probably well over a year now.

Also testing out TrueGrit’s halftone machine on this comic and… I gotta say y’all, I kinda love it! I’ve been wanting to do more halftone work but haven’t been able to find a look I like or a method that fits well with my workflow.

Stream Requests

Did a request stream not too long ago (before Tears of the Kingdom came out). Everyone requested some really fun drawings! I especially like Mikael wearing Elton John sunglasses. We also tried to parse Ganondorf’s hair in TOTK.

Family

Had this idea back in December. It was originally about Lupin with a black eye, but then then the finale of Zero came out and I liked Lupin’s dad way more than I ever expected! So Jigen’s dad became the jerk of this story instead. My intention for “family” here is “we’re married” and not “we’re brothers”.

Update:
Ohmygosh @rants-about-opm wrote a fic based on this comic and it’s so extremely cute and on point! They really got what I was going for and expanded this 3 panel comic into something really sweet.
