Uhtred: You offered to trade what??

Alfred: Uhtred, let's not fight. Not now.

Merry (late) Christmas everyone!

I have no Christmas themed art to offer … but I have been working on the comic like a madman, so I tried to improvise lmao (ノ*°▽°*)🎄🎁✨

Hope everyone had a good Xmas and Boxing Day! ❤️✨ヾ(´￢｀)ﾉ

#im so sorry I do not have a serious bone in my body when it comes to the blorbos lmao #I hope everyone had a good Xmas or just enjoyed the holidays and time with family and friends ❤️#the comic is chugging along … but progress is kinda slow cuz I keep redrawing panels (; v ;)#I reworked the storyboard for pages 5 & 6 which reset my progress by quite a bit #but when you’re not satisfied it’s just like gahhhh my brain itches until I rework this (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻#but y’know what pages 5 & 6 are where things get COUGH spicy COUGH #maybe that’s why I’m so fussy about it lol ┐(°ヮ°)┌#uhtred x alfred #alfred x uhtred #alhtred #tlk alfred #tlk uhtred #alfred the great #uhtred of bebbanburg #tlk fanart #comic wip #my art #comic log

Ahhhhhhh sketch of the cover image finally done!!

Only 50 more panels to go ... \(Ｔ▽Ｔ)/

Also I have no idea how Uhtred's sword is stuck to his back. I've stared at too many pictures trying to figure it out - I think it's hooked on or something? As it doesn't seem to be connected by any straps. (,,-`_●-)

[2024-12-21] Update: oh my god I just found a reference photo of Uhtred’s back and I drew his armour completely incorrectly also I solved the mystery of how his sword is attached so um … I’m just going to sneakily update the picture lmao.
