Honestly No Clue Wether This Will Get Past The Sketch Phase As I’m Not That Happy With It So I Thought

An OC of mine called Mustard

I want billy meeting King Steve but not being impressed because he’s just another yuppie douchebag, he’s not a badass, he’s not hard. And he tells steve as much, which really posses steve off because it’s true but no one’s ever said it to him before. So now he’s making it his personal mission to show billy what an asshole he can be, that he’s not a bitch. Has a little incentive when billy tells him he’ll think about taking a seat on the throne if Steve proves himself worthy of being called king

And then it’s just billy making steve worse. Committing actual crimes, doing drugs harder than weed, shows him how to hotwire a car, start taunting the cops instead of sweet talking them or throwing Steve’s name around like he’s used to to get out of shit. Become an actual menace

And Nancy and his friends are getting concerned. All “we don’t recognize you anymore steve” and Steve could not give two shits. Not when he’s been having the time of his life, not when he’s still got the mental imagine of billy bouncing on his dick the night before. He’s good with his new persona. Loves it, really

Steve shouldn't care about Billy Hargrove, should have long forgotten about him. Vecna and all the other monsters are long gone, three years of the baseball bat catching dust. He knows Billy somehow survived Starcourt, spent nearly a year in the hospital and then fucked off with hush money back to California.

Steve only sometimes hears from Max about him and he doesn't care. He just happens to have followed Robin to San Diego, because he had no idea what to do with his life. Much to his father's dismay, he's still making coffee and waiting tables, but much to his own surprise he's rather happy.

It's just one thing concerning Billy. One gigantic thing. A billboard, just across the café he's working at. Billy Hargrove, stretched out on some rocks by the ocean, glittering water drops caught in his lashes, running down his abs. His hair is wet, curls slicked back a little. Scars thin and mottled across his chest, pale against the tan on his skin. Biggest bedroom eyes ever.

An advertising for fucking aftershave, tormenting Steve every day - in the worst and best way.

Because Billy looks fucking hot. Because Steve wants to lick off the water and maybe also didn't need to put on some porn to jerk off, because his phone is a traitor too and now all the ads on there are showing him Billy fucking Hargrove. Steve wants to hate it, but his dick loves it.

Maybe Steve is so distracted by the billboard or the phone or the customer that changed his coffee order for the fifth time now, he doesn't see it coming. Only chokes on his own spit when he looks up and sees who stands right in front of him.

"King Steve! In California!" Billy says, a wide grin on his lips. He looks even better than on the billboard. He's got more freckles and his curls are up in a bun. He still hasn't learned to button his shirt and he's fucking ripped. "One iced coffee with-"

Steve doesn't get the rest. He totally isn't getting a boner at work. He isn't a teenager anymore, that shouldn't fucking happen.

"Harrington?" Billy raises one brow, absolute glee shining in his eyes.

Oh. Right. Steve needs to work.

"You're on the billboard outside," he tells Billy instead of pretending he knows what coffee Billy wanted.

Billy glances over his shoulder and then back at Steve.

"Yeah. Do you like it, pretty boy?" He licks his teeth. "Can I have my co-"

"I'm paying for it," Steve blurts out.

Billy's smile turns unbelievably smug. "So, you like it that much?"

Steve's face grows hot. "It's a good aftershave."

Billy snickers. "Buy me a slice of cake and I can show you more photos from that shoot."

It's a mistake, Steve thinks.

"Cheesecake?" he hears himself ask. His dick seems to have different plans. Maybe there is a slight chance that he gets to see the real deal.

Water lilies and a Siren

(Tbh I don’t really like this one but I guess I’ll post it.)

He'll step on you, Steve. But only if you beg.

(In an alternative universe where s3 never happened, Steve buys a magazine when he's questioning his sexuality in college and as fate would have it, who is on the centre fold but one Billy Hargrove. I'd like to think Steve tapes it to the inside of his closet and keeps thinking about how easy it would be to pick up the phone and call Max and ask for Billy's number.)

The only thing to do is stare back.

Thank you for the tips! I’ll make sure to try my luck at it :D

Hey I adore the way you color, it always creates such a sweet atmosphere and such beautiful scenes! (Especially in the Princes of Omens AU comic you're making right now!) Do you have any tips or tricks to how I could improve my coloring in a way? Since I've always just stuck to lineart but thats boring and doesn't give the feels your pieces always give! Ily 4 long haired Crowley btw

Thank you so much! I do it for a living so I have plenty of super easy tips and tricks to help a drawing look more unified!

When I’m finished coloring my piece with the flat colors I’m happy with this is what it looks like:

Then duplicate the layer, change the copy to a solid navy blue and set the layer to multiply and around 50% opacity:

Then I lock that multiplied layer up and start painting with white around the edges to give me that nice backlit look:

The next step is my favorite! I decide what the mood of the scene is and create a new layer on top of everything and just paint bucket the whole layer. For this scene I settled on a true blue (saturated midtones always seems to work best). Then I set that the layer to multiply at 100% opacity if it’s a night scene (like below) or vivid light at 10% opacity if it’s a day scene:

And lastly! I flatten it, duplicate and set the duplicate to soft light:

And that’s my process! You don’t need to mess around with any colors you’re not familiar with if you use this method, the filters take care of everything for you 😉

If you use this method tag me so I can take a look at what you create! 💕
