Queer romance comics

Queer historical rom-com graphic novel. Regency romance but vaguely chaotic and no-one wants to marry a duke; transmasc MC & Austen-mashup plot because I love queer history and yearning. Previews in the tag here / full info, quotes & pics here.

NOW-COMPLETE, multi award winning, commenters agree “I’m literally crying”-slowburn queer romance webcomic. Trees, flower language, and agonised pining. Read the whole thing free on tapas & webtoons (or get the PDFs.) More info here

  • 🌊 [Name TBA] next comic WIP: tag here

Choose-your-own-path books

Game in a book, you make the choices. Like D&D you can play solo with no experience.

thank you to this review that explained it better than me.

Fantasy masquerade ball heist into a spellbinder’s tower. With illustrations by 15 seriously amazing guest artists, options such as ‘you are a cursed librarian’, dramatic queer spy rivals romance, losing yourself forever in the source of all magic, etc. More info on my site or in the tag.

My first gamebook! Short, fun dungeon crawl: kid-friendly, award nominated, full of weird little guys, and exists out in shops and the internet. Intro post here.

  • 🍷 [Name TBA] next gamebook WIP: queer adult vampire romance. Tag here, patreon previews here

Anonymous asked:

hi, is there a digital edition of into the tower?

Yes, there's an ebook version! This is the sample from the apple books app, but it's on kindle etc as well. (There should be ebook links here).

I designed it for the print version and the publishers convert it to epub, so the page turns and images won't be in exactly the same places - but it does have clickable links so you don't have to flip back and forth!

#i read on my phone/ laptop not a dedicated ereader so can't 100% test to make sure that works nicely sorry#but most storefronts have samples so you can make sure the links work on your device!#into the tower

✧ THE END ✧

DO YOU LOVE TO YEARN?

Finding Home is a multi-award-winning, very-slow-burn queer romance comic.

It’s set in a fantasy world and explores relationships, mental health and GROWTH (mostly metaphorical), and the complete story is now free to read online.

hello I am listening tell me more

VIBES: gay fantasy road trip with extreme mutual pining. Member of the fae court decides no thanks actually. Secretly all about mental health/ trauma recovery. A solid 40% quiet drawings of forests. Don’t you hate it when your language-of-flowers magic gives away your crush.

It MAY make readers cry but someone on patreon also said it was the ‘ultimate feel good fantasy’ by the end, so make of that what you will

Comment testimonials. Readers love it!* (*sometimes).

-

can I read it for free?

  • yes! the webcomic is free here in a full page version or here in mostly mobile/scroll format.

what if I want to OWN IT?

Physical copies are now sold out (they were limited) but

  • Downloadable book PDFs (& prequel minicomic) here
  • or $5 patreon has downloadable chapters also various nsfw AUs

I planned the ending for 5 years & it’s so exciting for it to be out in the world. thanks so much to everyone who’s been reading <3

TODAY is the anniversary of my Big Webcomic being complete!!

Go read it if you want to read a hopeful queer comic about slowly clawing your life back after things have been shit.

If you're a previous reader (THANK YOU!!!!) may I suggest ✧ signing up to my newsletter ✧ to hear when my new queer romance things come out. It really does help, and I have some new stuff in the works I'm really excited to show everyone.

tiny peeks of a secret thing I’ve been working on

haridraws

here is the thing: ✦ INTO THE TOWER ✦

What is that, I definitely hear you ask: A modern, full-length choose-your-own-path adventure for adults (or teens), with tons of guest illustrations from some of the best artists in indie comics & games.

You choose what to do? Yup. Steal from the rich, lose yourself in the source of all magic, follow your heart, end your days in disgrace, hunt for vengeance, uncover terrible secrets, curse the world, die down in the dark. Or, survive and get one of two illustrated, full endings unique to your character.

Wow sounds like a great treat for myself / gift for my DM/ nerdy sibling/ partner yes. Suitable for beginners, playtested on my mum, no tabletop experience or dice required - you just need a pencil or notes app. But if you’re a tabletop veteran / game completionist, there are also achievements, suggested hacks & make your own character journalling options.

  How do I obtain this item It’s out now, wherever you get books.

Hey, just a heads up that your I Shall Never Fall In Love bookshop.org page has two versions of the book - same details but different cover and slightly different pub dates. Not sure which one is correct. https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/i-shall-never-fall-in-love-hari-conner/7629282

Avatar

HMM ok damn, thanks for telling me!

The one with the blue, plainer background is the correct one for the UK! (and Ireland, Australia & NZ/ Aotearoa).

Not actually sure if trying to order the other one on bookshop would even work from the UK - I've asked the publisher about it and will try to sort it out, I don't want anyone's order to be messed up...

no sleep solidarity🤝

(doubling up with @paper-swirls ask!)

 ✏️ being mostly bedbound I find it easiest to draw lying down with an ipad, so I pretty much only draw digitally. UNLESS I actually make it outside to draw a tree...

🐻 ...which I think is a KIND of comfort drawing to me? It makes me focus really specifically with a different part of my brain and stare at nature which is soothing.

though when I'm well enough / less busy with work, maybe my comfort drawing is just 'current favourite OC looking wistful' lol

Hi! Hope you are having a nice Sunday! Also: 🎼🌓

🌓 I try to only draw in the day but I feel like I sometimes get more inspo (or only get the energy) at night tbh!!

🎼 I often have to listen to 'relaxing piano' type music while drawing because of my health, or make specific playlists for different project vibes

but i also recently got the phantom of the opera theme tune stuck in my head for 3 weeks while trying to get in the right gothic headspace for drawing my vampire characters. Did that help? UNCLEAR

#asks#also thanks. you TOO!
