E.Hanby's DOWNFORCE, pitched as a near-future, F1-racing-inspired, BL series following a promising rookie from the moon colony as he falls for his biggest rival, a wild hotshot, all while navigating the track, the pressures of new fame, and the ghosts of his past, to Rebecca Taylor at Inklore, at auction, in a five-book deal, by Kate Rogers at KO Media Management (world).

I have worked so hard and I have waited so long to be able to tell you this: DOWNFORCE REAL. Downforce is going to be a graphic novel series with Inklore.
Thank you for waiting with me and watching my boys for all these years. I promise to bring you the very best story I am capable of. πποΈποΈπ

Ilya thrusts his cock in between Thierry's thighs, his hands sliding around to fondle Thierry from the front. The view is straight at Thierry, slightly twisted in a sensual pose upon the bed. There's a sense that they're melting into one another metaphorically, perhaps.
this was originally a really lame panel that I redrew much better so I'm going to show it off. side comic WIP

This comic's "brand new angle" which keeps it interesting for me. The sketched view is upwards, towards Ilya driving his cock in between Thierry's legs. His right arm wraps tightly around Thierry to help him with teasing from the front as Ilya presses his face into Thierry's neck, murmuring, "Let go and enjoy it for what it is." Thierry looks like he's about to do just that, his arm reaching back to pull Ilya closer.

half the fun of making that Thierry bunny is the sincere wish that someone gets bodyslammed by it after reading Downforce and having no idea what they're in for when they go online to see if there's any other artwork to look at

for Thierry, it's just clothes. he'd rather not, but if he has to, it's all about putting on the right mindset too.

Thierry in a reverse playboy bunny outfit. He's definitely not coming across embarrassed, laying back and spreading his legs, the result just cropped off-screen. He sticks his tongue out as he stares you down.

Ilya in a dark playboy bunny outfit. The suit's been pulled down to reveal one nipple and his arms are pushed forward to squish his chest together, though his hands are offscreen. He looks downward, flushed and with some embarrassment over everything. What exactly he's doing offscreen is up to your imagination.

A sketched panel in isolation. Ilya moves to slip his underwear off, lube in hand, Thierry's hand lingering on his hip. A few droplets from Ilya's hard cock soak into the fabric.

it's a sprint. the best you'll find out this time is Ilya wears underwear to bed and Thierry doesn't. putting all my meat into the main comic instead right now.

3 sketched panels out of a larger comic page. It's the morning, and Ilya is wrapping himself around a groggy Thierry while pulling the sheets off of both of them. One fondle down Thierry's body and Ilya's found what he was looking for. "Look who's awake" he mumbles into Thierry's neck, as his hand lingers on Thierry's stiff cock.
can't guarantee I have enough time to continue steadily, but a WIP for the next side comic

I officially have more followers here than I did on twitter and I think that's neat. Have a CiarΓ‘n I never reposted.

Due to more clarity in terms-of-service language, I have decided to pull New Trick Dingo from further sale permanently. For the best really! It was a time period I didn't enjoy and it's best relegated to the dark. The rest of my library should be able to remain (for now). Thank you to my supporters.

Qualifying Round, page 18. Ilya's holding back for now but it's still too much for Thierry (and Thierry is learning some new things about his capabilities, for reasons).
Sprint Qualifying, page 7. They're partially clothed in their team kit this time out. Thierry made a deal he didn't quite think Ilya would take, and now he's getting used.
Qualifying Round, page 22. Thierry has achieved fucking Ilya senseless. It's a fabulous look for him. It should happen more often, and after this Ilya will probably let him.
Sprint Qualifying 2, page 13. Ilya is ready to give the blowjob of his life in turn for the one he just got.
let me tempt you with some full page samples from each of the comics in turn. "The Critic" voice: buy my book!

All the T&I comics together
With the latest payment processor news, it's unclear how long I'll be able to keep Thierry & Ilya's comics in a storefront. If you ever thought of buying any of their Qualifying comics, now might be your last shot to follow through! If you liked my sketches of them...how about 80 full comic pages!?

A faux promotional poster for the 2056 Czech GP, featuring Ilya and Thierry's portraits looming large in front of a sun hanging low in the sky. Along the front of the image their cars are captured in profile, racing hard.
You'd never know they're formula racing drivers from what I draw on this account, but if you're down for a sports romance about falling in love with your rival, I may just be making this story for you. Will the title battle destroy them? Can they continue to outpace the demons of their mistakes?
