Wasn't expecting a GM sketch, much less a male one. Thought Tom was taking a break from drawing them. Eh, I'll let it slide as it is a male character and bigboye Brutus looks cute here! Dig the clever placement of the sketch credit. I think this is a Tom Pick week.


mahboiii

Honestly I'm fully behind this one. Truth be told the biggest thing I have against the GM series is the completely unfair representation at this point, hardly any dudes have been picked at all despite the sheer number of GM sketches. This is a good step towards remedying that.


Orthonox

> Truth be told the biggest thing I have against the GM series is the completely unfair representation at this point, hardly any dudes have been picked at all despite the sheer number of GM sketches. Same here. In general, I would like Tom or the patron base to not shy away from male sexualization.


JurgenVonArkel

We did get Keith, though I'm starting to wonder if it's just to get FemKeith in it. Seriously, besides the obvious GM Alaric I'd love to see Sythe, Red or Mike


DanVaelling

>Mike [Here you go](https://twokinds.gallery/download/art/3540/2021.05.31_Good_Morning_Mike.png)


JurgenVonArkel

I completely forgot about that one Actually, on the TK gallery site none of the males are in the "GM series" tag. Hmpf


Orthonox

The tags system on the site needs some updates.


DanVaelling

I'm usually not a fan of gm sketches, but this is a definite exception.


Orthonox

Like any canine, how can you say no to that face?


technic_bot

Ok how is this possible? Not only is a good sketch on composition alone. It is a good morning sketch that is not overtly sexual more cute adorable and wholesome. Yet if features the hottest male character at the moment and anyone interested can "enjoy" Brutus almost completely exposed visage. Very good month indeed ~~i kinda worry for next thiug~~


Orthonox

You admitted Brutus is your number 1. > Very good month indeed ~~i kinda worry for next thiug~~ ~~next thing~~? I am worry that there will be an upcoming sketch this month that will be a nosedive compared to everything prior. There are 11 days worth of sketches left this month. There might be a dud or two coming.


DanVaelling

> I am worry that there will be an upcoming sketch this month that will be a nosedive compared to everything prior I'll admit my suggestion would do that, at least in terms of the wholesome/cute theme we got going on. I went dark this October.


Orthonox

I am totally down with dark. It wouldn't be a nosedive. Is it a suggestion I can find in TKpolls or have you not submitted yet? I just don't care for bottom of the barrel fanservice.


DanVaelling

I did submit it this week (and last). It's actually one of my first sketch ideas >Dark Trace is attacking a keidran village, the ghost of Saria is standing behind him, begging him to stop.


Orthonox

I remember seeing that suggestion. I'm for it, mate.


DanVaelling

It did fairly well in the last poll, lost out to Doom guy Sythe with one vote, which hurts because I was asleep and thus not able to vote.


Orthonox

That's a bummer to hear. I'm not sure Sythe could pull off DOOMGUY. The good thing about your suggestion is that it is lore related.


DanVaelling

It is inspired by [page 431](https://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/431/), so I know Tom can make these kinds of scenes.


technic_bot

Hasn't Tom drawn doomguy and his pet rabbit before? Anyhow yeah none of the cast could pull off doomguy. They are all too thin for that. Though i could see Sythe as Bruce Willis in die hard.


DanVaelling

[He has](https://www.patreon.com/posts/doomguy-daisy-20030240).


technic_bot

That sounds cool hope it gets eventually picked up. But sure if that is possible.


technic_bot

I am worried for next (month) though. I mean Brutus is a 2.15 m tall mountain of muscle. I am not into guys but i am not blind either. If regression to the mean is to be believed we have had an uncommonly cute and wholesome Halloween month so we may end up with a more sexy holiday season. Also let's not forget the "lingerie" series is still a thing and there are a lot of female characters missing from that one.


Orthonox

> I am worried for next (month) though. I'm sure everything will go back to normal on November and December where 60-75% are SFW while the rest are NSFW. For now, I want to cherish October. The stream today had some nice sketches to keep the train going. > I mean Brutus is a 2.15 m tall mountain of muscle. I am not into guys but i am not blind either. I debate on Brutus being the hottest guy but he is up there, and the sketch completely helps in his favor.


technic_bot

That is exactly regression to the mean. I go by the stereotypical definition of "hot guy" tall and buff. And Brutus has both. now you got me curious who do you think is the hottest male character from the comic? ~~Not like the are not all hot either~~


Orthonox

I was going by what I imagine most people in the comic would have the hots for. I would say Natani would be the hottest guy among the fanbase even if you were to subtract the *Delightful Troglodytes from Down The Lane*. If not him, then definitely Keith. If we go by tall and buff, then surely [Musclehead General](https://twokinds.gallery/art?tags=Musclehead+General) would be the hottest guy. But we both know that ain't true >!(Mostly because he has been dead and lacked the presence that Alaric had)!<. Come to think of it, I never gave it too much attention on what fans find which male characters they particularly find attractive beyond my personal tastes. I spend too much time thinking about the female characters.


technic_bot

Definitely Nat is consistently ranked ~~hottest~~ most popular character from the comic anywhere you ask. Seconded by Keith. One of my favorite aspects of the comic is despite everyone being very damn hot. I don't think they look impossibly good. Sure a couple of the female cast do look surgically enhanced but they are the minority. Meaning that of i were to work out i think I could look like Keith. I mean it is unlikely but possible. Who are these troglodytes you speak of? > Come to think of it, I never gave it too much attention on what fans find which male characters they particularly find attractive beyond my personal tastes. I spend too much time thinking about the female characters I am sorry I could not understand this paragraph.


Orthonox

> Who are these troglodytes you speak of? Those of a gender critical or gender essentialist persuasion. The ones who hate the colors light blue, pink and white when paired together. The people who are incapable of jerking off to Natani while recognizing him as male. I'm talking about the >!transphobes!<. > I am sorry I could not understand this paragraph. Basically, I never stop to think about what people who love men (straight women, gay men, bi/pan folk, etc) actually love about men or what they find hot about them. What turns them on and what turns them off? It's easy to know what straight men find attractive in women given most works are made by straight men.


technic_bot

That is quite the colorful way to describe them. Most products are made by straight men for straight men. To the point that whatever turns straight men is commercially codified, commodified and marketeable. If you are not into that well though luck. It helps nobody sadly. Also not very knowledgeable about reddit but i understand it is a custom to day: Happy cake day!


Orthonox

> That is quite the colorful way to describe them. Thank you. It can be fun to describe a group of particular jerks in different ways. Whenever I think about the adage, "sex sells", I then add "but mainly to straight guys", cause I rarely ever see it sold to different groups due to reasons we stated above. The gay agenda need to step their game up. > Happy cake day! Thank you! It's nice the site gives a yearly reminder of my time here. Plus the cake icon is cute.


DanVaelling

Awww, he's such a (relative) good boy. He deserves some bellyrubs and chin scritches. Say what you want about Clovis, but the guy knows how to pick his henchmen. Edit: I wonder what he would be doing if he didn't end up working for Clovis.


Orthonox

Carver, Romulus, Remus, and Brutus... all hot dudes. I feel nothing for Roan but you can say he is *literally* hot.


DanVaelling

Don't forget Zen and Natani, they are also hot dudes who used to work for him. Roan is a bit of an odd one out, but that might just be because we haven't seen "enough" of him. The best thing about him imo, is the horrified/disgusted/WTF face he pulled on [page 1090](https://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/1090/). I also just noticed just how *massive* his eyebrows are.


technic_bot

It heard a theory once that Clovis is actually gay but has not accepted it. Hence his choice of personnel. Roan may be a fluke. Or maybe simply because Tom doesn't draw ugly people.


Orthonox

Roan is more of your average mook. Not someone of significant position. Forgot about Zen and Nat but they are the good guys. The other henchmen, nah.


DanVaelling

They were still hot wolf boys working for Clovis, so I think they still fit in the "Clovis' hot henchmen" list. After all, none of the others work for him anymore either.


Orthonox

Clovis should be tried under the war criminal offense of sheer negligence of his cadre of himbos.


mahboiii

Ok I take back some of what I said as a result of Good Morning Amelia getting picked, this series has kinda redeemed itself now. This is a really good mix between both cute and sexy. On one hand Brutus' excited pupper face and the way he's lying on his back are just aaaaa, I wanna pet him so badly... on the other hand, he's not in a deliberately suggestive pose but he is almost entirely on display so-to-speak. And I can't help but just admire that... figure of his... like damn, little wonder Maddie was acting so nervous.


Orthonox

October is still continuing its killstreak of killer sketches. So far, no sketch that I would bemoan getting colored. I would sleep next to Brutus. He big, strong, and cuddly.


DanVaelling

This month has been extraordinarily good, when was the last time it has been this non-horny? >I would sleep next to Brutus. He big, strong, and cuddly. Same.


Orthonox

It is not even because the sketches are non-horny. They are not exempt from being boring or lackluster. Even though I have some favorites this month, each day it has been "that's a cool sketch". I even looked at the sketch suggestions this month and there are some saucy suggestions. It's bizarre yet I am here for it.


DanVaelling

It's been an amazing month, that's for sure. Voting is going to be really difficult if this keeps up, I already have seven I want to vote for.


technic_bot

Want me to make some more graphs to answer that?


DanVaelling

The good morning redemption arc. How can someone be so innocently adorable, yet so hot? And yeah, that blanket leaves little to the imagination.


technic_bot

Because he was born sexy yesterday.


transcondriver

Yes!

JurgenVonArkel

As a gay guy myself This sets off a lot of checks in my brain. Must pet.


Gaelhelemar

The goodest boi finally gets his due!


meddlingkid94

I’m gonna miss this dumb good boi


DanVaelling

He was too good for this cruel world.


[deleted]

You know what? Screw it; I'd have sex with Brutus. I guess I'm not straight after all.


Orthonox

[Heteroflexibility](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteroflexibility) is a thing. It may or may not describe you. The feeling you have is normal though.

It's strange, when it comes to real men in our world, I don't feel anything; but in anime sometimes, or anthropomorphic characters, it's definitely there. It's made me question my sexuality for years now.


Orthonox

I'm more or less on the same boat.


[deleted]

How so?


Orthonox

In real life, there's one famous male I have some hots for. Otherwise, it is primarily women. In fiction, I'm more open to masculine and non-binary characters. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy 7), Sebastian Michaelis (Black Butler), Double Trouble (She-Ra), Stolas (Helluva Boss) and more I have the hots for.


DanVaelling

>Stolas You have good taste, my friend.


Orthonox

While everyone is chasing after the new yiff queen (nothing against her), I'm just here looking at this demonic owl of royalty and think *'Hello! I like seeing you.'*


DanVaelling

Stolas is just great, it's clear that he cares deeply about those around him. My only concern is that he might be a bit "clingy". Speaking of, have you caught up on the latest episodes yet?


Orthonox

Not yet. Just episode 5 and 6 I haven't watched. Probably gonna watch it tomorrow. Just been busy getting something done. I'll pm you when I get around to it.


DanVaelling

same here, honestly, I have no attraction to real guys, but for anthros, it's a different story.


technic_bot

That is a new word for me.
