Hey, #webcomicday! I make an early '00s romance comic called "B-SIDE You"! A young man with a troubled past befriends a nerdy TA and, through the power of music and believing in each other, accidentally fall into feelings!

bsideyoucomic.com
patreon.com/kcdstudios

Also on Tapas + Webtoon!
A mostly red graphic featuring three characters from the webcomic "B-SIDE You" - Alden (who has glasses, thick black hair and a worried expression), Marceau (curly blonde hair and a mischievous smile), and Danny (a tall blonde mohawk and a cheeky grin). The text reads "B-SIDE You - A Webcomic by Kaycie D." A panel of "B-SIDE You" featuring Danny and his bandmates playing a rock song A panel from "B-SIDE You" where Danny denies having a crush on his TA and Marceau teases him about it Danny and Alden, the main characters from "B-SIDE You", are bathed in blue moonlight as they look passionately at each other through half-lidded eyes.

"B-SIDE You" comic update post. The logo is to the left - it’s a violet heart made out of iPod earbuds and big blue hand-drawn letters in the middle that says “B-SIDE You”. Underneath in similar letters, it says “UPDATE!” On the right is a screen grab from the comic page - today, it features the three main characters - Marceau, Danny, and Alden - wearing animal ears and blushing. The blue text underneath reads “Track 7: Thank You!, Bsideyoucomic.com”. All the text is overlayed over a sound wave graphic that fades from white to blue to pink.

#Posttober25 Day 10

Character art for “Late Starters: A Pokemon TTRPG Podcast” season 2! @thelatestarters.bsky.social (New episode drop today!)

I love how these came out. Honestly, my dream job is to just draw full-bodied characters for D&D shows. Dimension 20, hire me!!
An illustration of three humans. The young woman on the left, Calynn, is tanned and has long, flowing blue hair and blue eyes, freckles, and a notch out of her eyebrow. She's wearing a tattered orange crop top with a flaming Jack-o-lantern face over a black swimsuit, with orange shorts, black fingerless gloves and black combat-style boots. Sunglasses are perched on top of her head. She is grinning wildly and hunched down as if ready to spar. The young man in the middle, Victor, is white, tall and thin, with thick messy brown hair, thick eyebrows, and rectangular glasses. He has weak facial hair on his chin, and is wearing a light blue t-shirt with a blue hooded short-sleeved sweatshirt over top, khaki cargo pants, blue hiking boots, and blue fingerless gloves. Around his waist is a fanny pack with a medical cross on it. He is clutching a Pokeball as he runs forward, mouth open in a shout. The young man on the right, Ford, is white and slightly shorter than Victor. He has short brown hair that fluffs forward in the front and round glasses. He wears a yellow T-shirt with a white pony with a flaming mane in a circle that says “Ponyta Girls” around the edge, faded blue skinny jeans complete with chain wallet, black fingerless gloves and red hi-top sneakers. He’s holding a Pokeball and flinging a red flannel shirt behind him, grinning and looking ready for battle.

They can NEVER replace us. The shitmachines can't even exist without our work. Artists are the only real essential ingredient to Art, never forget that.

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

2. B-SIDE YOU By @kcdstudios.bsky.social
SCORE: 10/10

I've already discussed this over on my channel but since I'm playing catch up on media I've consumed in 2025 first, it's only fair I put this dope comic on blast once more. Cuz wow, it's fucking amazing.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I am so pleased a lot of folks are noticing the little sign on the door in the latest #KeepingTime updates!!! it has been hiding there since chapter 2!!! I dedicated a whole update post about it back then, HEHEHE

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com
A panel from the webcomic, Keeping Time. Denver, a blond guitarist, argues with Stef, a Black bassist in a denim battle vest. (It is not much of an argument because Stef is correct, as always) Denver: "Me? I sound like shit?" Stef: "Yeah. Your head’s obviously not in it right now." Another, more recent Keeping time panel from the same vantage point. Denver and Stef are once again arguing, and once again Stef is correct. Denver: "Hey, c'mon. Hütz is the best, and you know it. You rather we practice at that overpriced country club in the suburbs?" Stef: "Portage Park isn't the suburbs, dude."

Man. For the past nearly decade, my drawing time has been so limited from injury that I've neglected time to do studies and practice and intentionally level up my drawing skills.

But I think it might be time to go there, I definitely feel like I'm stagnating lately.

Dr. Simon Cavader, my death domain cleric for our side DnD campaign, Dander Snifflin. He’s a borzoi dogkin, his combat weapon of choice is a bonesaw, and his pipe is carved from a femur bone. It's all very subtle, you see
An anthropomorphic dog man - a black borzoi with a white face. He wears a large, wide-brimmed hat, a long black leather duster, and fingerless black gloves. He is smoking a long pipe and grinning evilly

ANOTHER work assignment - people sent in pics of their pets in holiday wear, and we put some in the game!
Five animals on a light orange background. One is a sheltie dog wearing an elf hat complete with ears. Another is a golden retriever wearing a green and pink sweater with heart decorations. The third is a brown tabby cat batting around an ornament, wearing light up reindeer antlers. The fourth is a paint horse wearing a single bell hat and scarf, sitting on her haunches with her tongue out. The fifth is a puggle (pug/beagle mix) wearing a full green elf onesie.

Another character design assignment for work! Pretty proud of these guys, especially since I don’t draw birds all that often.
Five penguins rendered in blue on a light orange background. Little penguin is a small, happy lil guy with an oversized heart sweater. Chinstrap penguin is a no-nonsense guy with a miner’s helmet, complete with light. The Emperor penguin is big and serene, wearing a crown and a long king’s robe. Macaroni penguin is just hanging out, eating a bowl of noodles. And Adelie penguin sports a blonde wig and a microphone. We could have had it all.

These are our characters from our little mini DnDB/Animorphs Anonymous crossover holiday one-shot we do once a year! @alexandbirds.bsky.social is an avid alien hunter, Helena, I am a stoner pet store employee, Holly, and Twolime is a holiday Andalite named Mistletail!
Three characters on a gray background. Far left is Helena, a young woman with curly black hair that fades into green. She is holding up a phone flashlight. She wears all black - a stocking cap, utility jacket, a turtleneck with a cryptid skull design, cargo pants, and steel-toed boots. The middle woman, Holly, is wearing a baggy green sweater cinched at the waist with a belt, a tartan scarf, black leggings, red legwarmers and converse. She has a green Santa hat and jingle bell bracelet and a nametag. The final figure, Mistletail, is an Andalite, a centaur-type alien with a humanoid torso and a reindeer body with a long thick tail, ending in a bright blue flame.

More DnDB @dndbpod.bsky.social art. The kids are ALLEGEDLY going to a dance and this is what I personally want to happen.
A sketchy comic page rendered in blue. Two teenage girls dance under a disco ball, blushing. The taller girl, Dylan, is wearing a dark strappy dress with mesh sleeves, and has her hair up in a Rumi-style braid updo. The shorter girl, Savannah, is in a long t-shirt dress and her hair is up somewhat messily. Dylan asks, “You okay? You good?” And Savannah replies “Yes. I am… having fun with you in this space.” Dylan blushes and looks down, and says “Cool. Me too.” while a VERY ecstatic chibi ghost version of her flies out behind her, echoing her inner thoughts.
