New Best Savored After Dark thread because its been a while :^)

BSAD is a manga-style comic that I've been working on for the past year. All of my OCs are from it!

This thread will introduce the story, characters, and some more details!
A black and white drawing of a parking lot and a strip mall in fish eye perspective. On the right of the image, spotlighted above the building is "Best Savored After Dark". Included in the spotlight is the sign of one of the businesses in the strip mall, "Bloody Good Coffee".

I think this is the most fun I've had drawing a page 😭 they're so stupid...

[ #bsad #process #wip ]
A comic page drawn in blue pencil. There is no dialogue written in yet. Panel 1: Lance's hand grabs Aaliyah's wrist Panel 2: Lance and Aaliyah struggle near a door. Lance has grabbed Aaliyah wrist and is standing behind her. Aaliyah is elbowing him in the chest from behind. Both appear to be yelling Panel 3: Part of Lance's body is shown blocking the door. Panel 4: Lance and Aaliyah struggle face to face. Lance is holding both of Aaliyah wrists and they appear to be yelling at each other

Routine reminder for my comic making friends: Your drawings for your comic DO NOT need to be as good and polished as your drawings for fully rendered art pieces. ESPECIALLY if you are working alone or with minimal help. More people pay attention to the flow and the dialogue than the details

Alternate version 😂

[ #ocs #ocsky ]
A two panel comic with my OCs Lance and Aaliyah. Panel 1: Lance is ducking behind an umbrella as a snowball hits. Aaliyah is being hit in the face by a snowball. Panel 2: Aaliyah is laying crumpled in the snow in the Yamcha pose, while Lance stands in the foreground with the back of his head to the viewer. Lance says, "you good?". Aaliyah says, "n-no..... *Cough*, I-I need.... You to make me a hot cocoa..... With extra whip". And Lance says "mhm..."

Got a bunch of pages penciled today 🕺 may I offer you the best Lance I have drawn thus far 🤲

Two comic panels drawn in blue pencil. One is a 3/4 view of Lance from the shoulders up. One is zoomed out and Lance is looking down at a clipboard with his hand on his hip. The back of Aaliyah head is in the foreground and a large exclamation point is by her head.

Random update: Diah now has she/her pronouns, disregard any previous posts that use he/him. Her outward appearance and personality won't change at all. She's a genderfluid character and I just felt it would be fun to change up her primary pronouns before things got too official hehe...

A digital drawing of Diah (OC). She has light blue skin, white hair, four arms, long pointed ears, and orangeish eyes with black sclera. She is wearing a green blouse and white pants with brown loafers. She is laying on her back with her legs crossed. Two hands are in her pants pockets, one is resting on top of her head, and one is holding a cane with a duck head. A digital drawing of Diah (OC), it is a headshot. She is facing the right and looking to the left with a smile. She has light blue skin with freckles, orange eyes with black sclera, long white hair, thick eyebrows, and brown frames glasses.

On the right is the title card "Best Savored After Dark" and the sign for Bloody Good Coffee A comic page featuring Aaliyah (OC). Read right to left like a manga.

January is pretty busy for me but whenever I have free time I'm back to work ✍️

I have two sketching stages: the first I lay out the panels and roughly sketch the scenes, and the second I go back and adjust, refine, and add details before inking.

Rough sketched out 4 pages today 🕺

A photo of my workspace. There are a few rulers, multiple pencils and pens, an eraser, an energy drink, and some papers on the table. The papers have comic scenes lightly sketched out in blue on them.

Ending the year on my new favorite painting thus far really is the way to go 💚🔥

[ #bestsavoredafterdark #ocsky #ocs #watercolor #ink #dippen #traditionalart ]
An ink and watercolor illustration of my OC Beck. They are sitting in and framed by a trapezoid that narrows near the top. They have four arms; two arms are raised above their head with their palms turned upward, the other two arms are raised to the bottom sides. Their head is turned in toward their right upper arm and they are looking to the right of the viewer and sticking out their tongue. They are wearing a black crop top, black mesh top, baggy black pants, and have various piercings, jewelry, and tattoos. Image was scanned and digitally adjusted for clarity. The drawing and background are done with dip pen, paint brush, and ink. The character is colored with watercolor. On hot press paper.

I was trying to put every art thing I've learned in 2025 into one painting 🥹 This is also my first traditional OC art and first more complete art piece with them. Aaaaaaaaaaa

[ #ocsky #ocs #bsad #bestsavoredafterdark #watercolor ]
A watercolor painting of my characters from a comic I'm working on titled Best Savored After Dark. The painting shows a scene in a coffee shop in fish eye perspective. In the foreground is Aaliyah; she is dark skinned, has her hair in box braids that are dark brown with pink tips. She is wearing an orange and yellow bandana, a white T shirt, and a tan and green apron. She is standing at the back of a coffee shop counter holding an empty cup and reading toward a blender. She is looking behind her and to the side at 3 characters in the background. In the background there are three characters. One, Lance, is also standing behind the coffee shop counter with Aaliyah. He has light skin, brown hair, and is wearing a red sweater, gray pants, and a tan apron. He is reaching toward an espresso machine. Two other characters, Beck and Nayeli, stand on the other side of the counter. The background is framed by blurry yellow lights
