October 2020 NSFW Poll Winner - Raziq x Arc!

It was standard for the city of Bah'rith to assign a guard to look after visitors from foreign schools who had come to study at the city's massive library. Arc was used to it, and while he sometimes missed the steady pace of his usual patrol, it was always a refreshing change to escort the latest erudite scholar around the city's sprawling streets. As the guard was usually assigned for the visi...

Didn't want to leave things hanging on the end of 701 so this is gonna be a double-update once I get it all finished up. Meanwhile, you get to enjoy a double-preview!

Caves and Critters Page 700 Sketch WIP

We're pretty much all guilty of not calling our parents as much as we ought to, but it's harder when phones don't exist. 

Concept Work - Scarred Kharma (Bandage off)

Figuring out how Kharma will look without either dramatic shading or his bandages covering his wound from the Beast. Might tweak this some more but it's got the gist of it.

CnC Chapter 11 Page 699 Ink WIP (Updated)

Ah beans indeed, Theran. Ah beans indeed.

Caves and Critters Page 698 Sketch WIP

Been a while since we seen the Beast in that form! (https://cavesandcritters.com/cnc_webcomic/150/ for reference) And it looks like it's as confused by this particular situation as anyone is.

Yep, his Dad's as much of a dork as he is. Where do you think he got it from?

September NSFW Character Poll Winners: Theran x Kaeden

'Would you quit squirmin'!?'

'YOU quit it, I'm tryin' not to fall!'

'We're BOTH tryin' not to fall, dumbass! If you hadn't'a let that fuckin' ogre smack you inta me, I wouldn't even be down here!'

'I didn't aim for you! I thought you were strong, why didn't ya just catch me and stop us both fallin'?'

'I AM strong, but I wasn't expecting two hunnerd and somethin' pounds o...

One of my favourite parts of any good adventure game is the banter between the characters as they roam around - especially if the devs had the foresight to have them pick up where they left off if they get interrupted by enemy encounters. Figured I'd channel a lit of that here instead of just doing a 'SkipTo' and jumping right to their destination.

Ignore the off-center speech bubble line...

Caves and Critters Page 694 Lineart* WIP

Whelp, we lost Kharma for the next twenty or so.

Caves and Critters Page 693 WIP

And we're back! Apologies for that unscheduled hiatus - real life stuff, you know how it be.

In a rare moment of cognizance, Theran recalled the correct word for the thing he wanted all on his own - and Kharma went and said the quiet part out loud. Whoopsie. :B

NEW MONTH NEW POLL LET'S HECKIN GOOOOOO

'Theran x Kaeden' was the winner for last month, so while I try and fit that many muscles into one image, y'all get to get to work figuring out this month's unlikely (or likely) pairing!

Rules are the same as always; comment below with a pairing of your choice of any two characters from the comic - whether or not they'd ever meet or have cause to get smutty with each-other - and the winni...

Page 693 Sketch WIP

Oop, Kharma said the quiet part out loud and thought the loud part! Thankfully (for Kharma's crippling social awkwardness) Theran is still oblivious.

Little concerned people are gonna think Kharma magic-thought the right word at Theran instead of Theran just remembering it on his own, so I might re-jigger the middle of the page - but the overall layout will stay the same :3

Caves and Critters Page 692 WIP (+Inks)

Was it a fluke, or is Kharma secretly a highly talented archer? Who cares, Theran's impressed!

UPDATE: Lineart version added!

Caves and Critters Page 691 Sketch WIP

SIKE IT'S ACTUALLY INNOCENT AFTER ALL

Do me a favour tho, if you came here from Twitter, reply to that tweet in a way that makes it seem like it's actually NSFW :D I wanna mess with people more lmao

Caves and Critters Page 690 Ink WIP

Aaaand boom goes the dynamite, right on page 69(lmao)0 as well :D Couldn't have timed that better if I tried. Now if only they were 69ing. Oh well. :3c

EDIT: Got it to ink tier so far! So have an update for now <3

July NSFW Character Poll Winner - Theran x Camber

Theran stirred uneasily in his bed, rolling onto his back and staring at the ceiling. Now that he'd sobered up from the evening's partying, he was finding it hard to ignore something he'd done his best to evade earlier on.

As he had been carrying the supposedly unconscious green-skinned Mage back from the bandit's crushed encampment, he couldn't help but realize the Frog wasn...

MEANWHILE, IN AUGUST - CnC NSFW Character Poll!

Excuse the title I am slightly tiddly on tequila ANYWAY

Y'all know the rules by now - suggest a pairing of characters from the comic that you want to see fuckin' and/or Like someone else's suggestion. The suggestion with the most Likes by the end of the month gets drawn up shagging each-other silly, whether or not it would make sense in the comic's canon. You can both make a sug...

Caves and Critters Page 689 Sketch WIP

Pinching, biting, and a handjob... Kaeden really knows how to help a guy along, don't he? 

Chapter 11 Page 688 Sketch WIP (Inks Added)

When you suddenly have the opportunity to explore a lifetime of unrequited urges, it can be altogether too tempting to explore as many of them as possible at once. Like, what -does- it feel like to hold another guy's dick?

Caves and Critters Chapter 11 Page 687 WIP

Oop, found the nip. :3

Also; thoughts on the tail instead of the brow for Kaeden's off-panel speech bubbles? I like it more than the forehead myself but all of your opinions matter too. <3

EDIT: Added the inked version!

EDIT EDIT: Just realized an ellipsis somehow became a /// in panel 4. Will fix that before I finish it lol

Caves and Critters Chapter 11 Page 686 WIP (Ink ver added)

I hopefully got this across when he and Kharma first shagged in the Inn back in Lakeside, but despite being a brash, arrogant, short-tempered bastard, Kaeden is a considerate lover. His torture in Volgrad left him with some very cut-and-dry opinions on bodily autonomy and boundaries, and he has no intention of forgetting them any time soon.

UPDATE: Got it all inked and shaded. It's humid...

Campfire Bonding - June '20 NSFW Poll Result

Y'all wanted Jax x Kharma, you got Jax x Kharma! When the orange kitty drunkenly lamented that he wished Kaeden or Theran weren't off hunting so he could suck one of their dicks, Jax jokingly proferred his own as a stand-in - and well, Kharma may not like Jax much, but a cock is a cock and it gets the job done just as well. Who knows, maybe they'll be at each other's throats a little less after...

Caves and Critters Page 683 Preview!

Kaeden, quit being a tease!

...or don't, either works. :3c

Caves and Critters NSFW Character Poll - July!

UPDATE: Looks like Theran x Camber wins! Oh no, now I have to draw a chubby frog boy getting his guts scrambled by a buff Lion. What a fucken shame that is, he said, sarcastically. >.>

While I work on the last month's winners (Jax x Kharma), let's get the ball rolling for this month!

Same rules as before; either comment a pairing you'd like to see, or Like a suggest...

Caves and Critters Page 683-685 WIP dump!

Been going back and forth on various run-throughs of this section trying to find one that felt organic to the characters AND was hot, and I think I've finally nailed it B)

EDIT: Updated the WIP for page 685 as I got some work done on it in spite of other things on my schedule today. <3

Caves and Critters Chapter 11 Page 682

Isn't lil' Jax cute?

Caves and Critters Page 681 WIP

Can't argue that logic.

Do you worship your Goddess with that mouth, Jax?
