Saturday Update

It's unfortunately a real slow week for update material from me. I caught the flu on like Tuesday and have been just out all week as a result. I'm starting to feel a kind of recovery at last now, this is the first day I feel like I've had something resembling energy back again, but it's really sapped me.

These drawings are satyr and swordsman character explorations I've been toying with since last fall for a one-shot comic between Libby Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. Something like 18 pages fitting in a ancient Greco-Roman fantasy setting. 

I think I would like to do a single sort of pinup image that might encapsulate the vibes I'm trying to go for to help everyone get on-board with the idea, especially since "satyr and swordsman" as a theme is incredibly vague.

In essence- monster-slaying swordsman himbo flirts simperingly with a sassy satyr amidst wildflowers and you've got the flavor I'm pursuing. Even if this isn't exactly your cup of tea, I'll be drawing other stuff on the side, as per usual. :)

It might be fun to do a paring poll and let you pick two of your favorite character designs! :D It's been a while since we've had a poll like that and it worked pretty well in the cases of Poppy & Oak and Ivy & Pine. :)

Physical Libby & Holly Update

I got my printer part and it's up and running again, but since the operator (me) is now performing badly I expect to have things back in the store around the 28th or 1st (I'll keep you posted) and I plan on just releasing small batches of books every couple weeks, along with small print runs of whatever's up next (Peaches zine?)

As promised I'll let 💖you patrons💖 know when they're available first, but you don't need to worry about them being permanently out of stock or anything like that. I love people having the books in physical form and I want to make that consistently available.

hehe 🥺Thank you mel! It's a rare thing that will become less rare in the coming weeks :)

Honey wake up, guy characters on wintons Patreon (Gorgeous as always 🩷)

mel

I don't blame you, What's scarier is to realize it's been like years since I made those comics 🫣

Winton Kidd

ngl I totally forgot about Link for a moment here when trying to remember the last manly man in one of your works 🫣

Fuya

That's what I get for being married to an absolute history nerd who even has a degree in that field 😂 In my time with her I've learned more about history than I did during school years. And no worries, artistic freedom, yada yada 😄 I'm curious anyway what you'll make with these characters! I hope the satyr is gonna be a little sh*t all over the place 😂

Fuya

❤️ glad you're on board Riz! Yes I would if nothing else like to be able to offer physical and digital comics together because it would just be so convenient, but I gotta get it figured out with Shopify first! 😅

Winton Kidd

Oh gosh, you're more learned than me Fuya! ❤️ I didn't know that! I was ignorantly using satyr as a broad term to describe half goat person.😅 Given my new goaty identity I should probably have my facts straight but I fear this story might be more for flavor than for the history nerds 😅 Now I DO want to try a M/M story someday, that is for certain. I think it could be really fun to do😊 also thank you for the well wishes❤️

Winton Kidd

I didn't think about how sticking with one series like Libby and Holly would have the effect of me not really drawing much for men in my comics for a while unlike when I doing Zelda comics in between things! It's gonna be nice to break the pattern a bit and I'm glad you're on board! ❤️💕

Winton Kidd

Yayyyy thank you Katlyn!

Winton Kidd

😎😎😎😎 happy to have you on board! I feel like I gotta figure out how to make those weird pupils be as expressive as I want them to be but I know it's possible 😤

Winton Kidd

Thank you Jazzy! I am always caught off guard by the realization of just how infrequently I draw men 😅

Winton Kidd

It's something I've been craving doing some more of myself because I think I need that kinda variety in my work to keep me really energized about it!

Winton Kidd

Well then I'm happy you're here 😁

Winton Kidd

😏

Winton Kidd

Haha, I know it's become such an extreme rarity entirely by accident 😅

Winton Kidd

Ohhh noooo 😰 that sounds miserable, I hope she's recovered well. I'm holding out hope that my partner won't catch it from me 🤞

Winton Kidd

Thank you Melissa! ❤️

Winton Kidd

I cannot resist adding some kinda silly design flourish like that.

Winton Kidd

Excellent! I picked up a weird lingering cold thing when I was in Michigan a couple weeks ago myself so I am recently recovered as well.

Saga Söderback

Thank you Saga! You well wishes must be working because I think I'm on the mend :)

I have a soft spot for Satyrs so this is going to be directly up my alley. also out of curiosity have you ever thought of setting up a back up shop on your website? I know one nsfw artist who doesn't trust platforms not to rug pull after gumroad and just has a store on their site for pdfs and such. The thought just occurred as you're already setting up a platform for your physical sales.

Riz

I lovelovelove the designs so far! Especially the swordsman which I don't say often as a gay woman 😂 Will this be a rare (or even the first?!) male x male work by you? 👀 I'm all here for that! You know, since satyrs are exclusively male in Greek mythology~ (exclusively female counterpart: nymphs) Get better soon, and don't overdo it. Make sure you get enough rest, eat well, and take care of your soul as well 💕

Fuya

“Even if this isn’t exactly your cup of tea” ARE YOU KIDD(ing)? Lol sorry for the pun He’s gorgeous! I’m in love already 🥰🤤 The satyr face is also cute AF. Looking forward to see them paired up hehe, I love seeing men in your art so much! Hope you get better soon 💖💖

ValeRipley

Love the idea!! I think it would be so fun! Feel better soon 💫

Katlyn A Saylor

A caked up simpering himbo you say? Weird pupils on a cutie patootie satyr you say? I was already in but I am SO IN!!!

Kurbee

oooh, this is so nice. i love seeing men in your style

Jazzy

Ever since your Medusa art I’ve been looking forward to more Greco-Roman art from you!

Alex

This IS exactly my cup of tea tho :D

Zack

"that's not the sword she's after~"

LH
