Alrighty then; waaaaaay back in 2019, before the end times, I had this stoopid idea for a pair of devil/demon/imp characters called Slap and Tickle whom I could draw getting in to all kinds of mischief. Think Pain and Panic from Hercules but kinky 😈

Well... sort of. Slap is a newly adult character who thinks with his appendage and ends up in places he shouldn't, Tickle is an experienced character who's assigned to train Slap and keep him in line. I'm guessing they'd be like incubus/succubus characters who work for some kind of sex demon guild... or something. I don't know, I'm not a writer 😅.

I basically wanted a way of doing cartoony stuff, getting silly ideas out of my head without the need to do accurate anatomy etc etc. The problem is... I'm not great at cartoony stuff. I got to a point where I just hated the way it looked and gave up, intending to come back to it one day. Well... 4 years later, that day is here.

As per usual I ended up going farther than intended with the rendering, if you check out the steps you'll see that haha. I'm pretty chuffed with how this turned out, especially compared to where I left it.

Hope you like this little stylistic sidestep.

First 5 slides are what will be going on Instagram, the next 3 are for Twitter and the final one is where I left the idea back in 2019. A night and day difference I'm sure you'll agree!
