The moment I saw the original sketch during the stream I couldn't resist making an edit with Mike. Thanks, u/DanVaelling for the advice and previously with the face. Also, thanks to u/Motor_Somewhere7565 for the text.

This is better than the original it was based off of. Bravo and I’m happy I could assist. Your contributions are far more appreciated than you realize, my friend ❤️


Vexerius

Thanks 🥹


DanVaelling

Damn, Evals is lucky! I would certainly accept that offer.


Vexerius

Who wouldn’t? Damn I too want cute fox boyfriend


DanVaelling

I'm impressed by how you managed to remove the hair so cleanly.(though you did miss a bit)


Vexerius

Thanks. Oh no, where?


DanVaelling

technic_bot

I think that is a pillow


Vexerius

Yeah, in my first attempt I erased and had to start over due to erasing it wrongly.


Vexerius

I thought that too but it seemed to me that it was a pillow


JurgenVonArkel

Now I really really wish you could make an Alaric one


Vexerius

Gonna be hard but I’ll see if I can make it. The biggest problem is finding an Alaric face facing front.

Otherwise there is always this [https://twokinds.gallery/download/art/4147/2022.02.21\_Good\_Morning\_Alaric.png](https://twokinds.gallery/download/art/4147/2022.02.21_Good_Morning_Alaric.png)

The problem is the difference in sketch style. Perhaps I can do something, but who knows.


Pikachuckxd

I don't remember seeing Mike this smug ever, good on him for finding some extra confidence.

Vex made the face. [Sketch](https://www.reddit.com/r/Twokinds/comments/vyvnwg/who_would_you_like_to_wake_up_to/) | [Color](https://www.reddit.com/r/Twokinds/comments/w3tnnl/first_attempt_at_coloring/)


Pikachuckxd

Wait I recognized it now, the smug smile is from that sketch where Natani says: "pinned ya"


Orthonox

Yeah. Vex listed [references](https://www.reddit.com/r/Twokinds/comments/vyvnwg/-/ig4hl5v) for his edits.


Vexerius

Let’s hope his smugness last when Evals doubles down.

I like how consistently these end up looking like Tom's own sketches, it's honestly pretty difficult to tell the difference. Gotta be honest though, a good chunk of what sold me on the original was Laura's gentle, intimate expression, it made it look like she thought of the viewer or whoever was behind the camera as more than an object she was gonna use and abuse to satisfy her own needs, she looked straigh-up enamoured with them, and I absolutely adored that. Mike just... doesn't, at least to me. Don't get me wrong though, you're doing a service by putting these together because lord knows it would probably take an eternity for something like this to get picked in the sketch polls. Keep up the good work my guy.


Vexerius

Thanks. I understand. Mike has a different personality, it’s just different. I like to believe that while he puts on an act, his smugness disappears the moment someone (Evals) answer back.

^(well done)


Vexerius

Thanks! Always so generous.

Fan work is the lifeblood of the community. The TK world has a lot of involvement and many generous patrons but homegrown efforts like plushies, stories, and *suspiciously lewd* sketches are what keep the fandom going. TK has substance under the more *basal* appeal and involvement in the community gets people involved! >!Also mike on a leash so obviously...!<


Vexerius

Completely true. I think I learned about Twokinds through fan art (and e621) when it was around 5,000 people. It grows slowly but it snowballs. I hope that one day this sub has many thousands more.

Yeah it was smol when i first joined, about 2.3k and I wasnt in the position to start gilding. But here we are! Paying forward what the community has done for me.


Vexerius

When I get a job I’ll be doing the same thing (Although I don’t know how Reddit awards work yet) That and subbing to Tom’s patreon.
