"First kiss?"
Added 2022-02-02 04:06:14 +0000 UTCHey everyone, here's the series featuring Iris & Maya that happened directly after the Mistletoe image!
Maya went for a bit risky approach and see how it goes =D
1st image:
While there wasn't much change in Iris pose (since she was basically waiting clueless), but it was super fun to make her expression change, and also it was really cool to be able to make Maya in a different angle and expression.
2nd image:
I wanted to make that "instant regret moment" of Maya where she goes "oh shit, did I screw up?", so I wanted to have some fun with a different expression =D
3rd image:
Maya might be freaking out ... just a bit, trying to apologize and all =D
4th image:
Since Maya just wouldn't stop freaking out, Iris used the oldest trick in the book to make someone shup up =D, since there wasn't any problem to begin with ;)
So, to sum up the idea of this series, Maya took a chance but imediately thought she went too far (or too soon) since Iris was frozen in place. She start to freak out, but truth is, Iris wasn't bothered, just ... surprised, since she actually liked the kiss =D.
It was a really fun series to make, because I wanted to make sure I covered a range of different emotions in them, so I hope you all liked it!
And stay tuned for their future scenes in the coming months!

Lee
2022-02-13 03:48:53 +0000 UTCthank you! It's been a big challenge to go through all those emotions in this series =D

Lee
2022-02-13 03:44:27 +0000 UTCLove wins!
Slevin
2022-02-13 02:39:11 +0000 UTCLove the expressions. Great work👍🏼
Jon Walson
2022-02-12 13:23:18 +0000 UTCAs happy as I am with this entire set I still hope we're getting an Iris and Maya Valentine's Day pic. I know it's probably not going to happen but hey, we can wish right? Fantastic job on this set Krys, I think this is probably now my all time favorite of Iris and your work!
Tucker Mapes
2022-02-12 09:12:12 +0000 UTCI love the expression work, also, that hand in the final image is really well done. I continue to be blown away by your art.
Brandon Allendorf
2022-02-12 05:19:59 +0000 UTCThis keeps getting cuter

2022-02-12 04:24:34 +0000 UTCI just came to the climax of this scene.
Blayne Jensen
2022-02-12 03:29:44 +0000 UTCThe ending we've all been waiting for doesn't disappoint. Maya's turn to be surprised is really cute - the body language of that hand makes me smile.
Highbrow
2022-02-12 03:05:04 +0000 UTCHa! Knew it.
Vladimir Duran
2022-02-12 02:51:30 +0000 UTCIt's nice to see a story like that have a happy ending. ^^
Duck-Bot
2022-02-12 02:42:05 +0000 UTCI mean, I knew how it would turn out but I was still very invested. Bring on more =)
El Fuego
2022-02-12 02:19:35 +0000 UTCYay! This was fantastic, I loved seeing their relationship evolution play out in images :-D I hope to see more of them in the future! And as always, beautiful work!
Eddie Murphy
2022-02-12 02:16:27 +0000 UTCLove this so much. Not sure why I'm so invested in this but really feeling it. Great work capturing their reactions.
Aralith
2022-02-12 02:14:35 +0000 UTCWhat an adorably cute series!
Rithrin
2022-02-12 02:09:39 +0000 UTCLove iiiiit. Iris is absolutely gorgeous in this last pic
Alex Clerm
2022-02-12 02:06:17 +0000 UTCAwwwwwwwww!! Things you love to see: this. What a wonderful arc these images have been; thanks for the journey! Can't wait to see what comes next for these two lovable dorks.
Jazzpha
2022-02-12 02:03:40 +0000 UTCAbsolutely, Krys. Taking your time and developing them through an ongoing visual shows you care about the characters and they're not just some cheap sex pairing. It's also much more cute to see them develop!
Marcia Taylor
2022-02-10 16:29:23 +0000 UTCOMG! My heart is racing now, is the apology the bad signal for their relationship? Anyway, this new comic style of the Iris & Maya series is really more attractive than single- image pattern, good job Krys !
Stephanie
2022-02-10 15:46:00 +0000 UTCThanks! It was a really trick series to get it right. Making a girl look sexy is super easy to be honest. But this kind of scene is a completely different thing. Like you said, it's a mix of a lot of different emotions, so I had to go back and forth on how which panel would look to make sure the "whole" scene portraied all those little nuances of a situation like that.
Lee
2022-02-10 14:59:23 +0000 UTClol, he's really expressive
Lee
2022-02-10 14:56:41 +0000 UTCthank you!
Lee
2022-02-10 14:56:24 +0000 UTCThank you! This series was really good practice for other types of expression =D
Lee
2022-02-10 14:56:20 +0000 UTCit was more of an oversight on the 1st panel. I totally forgot to change it.
Lee
2022-02-10 14:55:44 +0000 UTCI have to say I liked Iris's expression in the 3rd panel from the start. Having painted her in many different ways, I think she never looked so sweet and adorable.
Lee
2022-02-10 14:53:07 +0000 UTCThank you! I know that a lot of people want nsfw stuff from them, but at the same time, it's something that can be done for a lot of time in the future. This type of thing (the beginning) I can only do it once. On the long term I think it's better to do this "right" than rush it and not be able to fix in the future.
Lee
2022-02-10 14:44:11 +0000 UTCat this point the cookies are burned to a crisp =D
Lee
2022-02-10 14:42:17 +0000 UTCthanks! I thought it would be fun to make something akin to "oh shit, what did I do?!"
Lee
2022-02-10 14:41:56 +0000 UTCthank you! I'm glad you liked them =3
Lee
2022-02-10 14:41:10 +0000 UTCMaya: Oh shit, I forgot to take the cookies out !
DeeVee
2022-02-10 13:31:30 +0000 UTCAs a bisexual woman, I know JUST how this feels...! 'Will she even like me?' And thanks Krys for portraying this so sensitively. Many artists would have just moved them straight to the bedroom. We appreciate the slow-burn on this one.
Marcia Taylor
2022-02-10 08:08:05 +0000 UTCI'm a diehard Maya fan, and I love how upset she looks, but what really does it for me in the latest image is the compassion in Iris' eyes. Incredibly sweet.
Highbrow
2022-02-10 07:39:05 +0000 UTCThough, interestingly, not between Mistletoe and the first image in this series - Maya really moves fast! Which, I suppose, is exactly what she's currently apologizing for... hopefully she'll cheer up fast, too.
Highbrow
2022-02-10 07:37:19 +0000 UTC♥️
Wolfie
2022-02-10 06:47:45 +0000 UTCIt's a nice touch that the snow in the background is continuing to fall! Good job man
El Fuego
2022-02-10 03:41:23 +0000 UTCI love how natural this progression of emotions is. So believable it's giving me secondhand embarrassment for Maya! Hopefully Iris clears up her worries in short order. Great work as always!
Jazzpha
2022-02-10 03:21:59 +0000 UTCYou’re doing amazing. It’s really fun to look at them and your skill with their expressions is unbelievable. I can’t wait to see the next one. The storytelling is phenomenal
Rosslyn Rose
2022-02-10 03:10:15 +0000 UTCGod on high, this is beautiful work
Just another Monday
2022-02-10 03:02:28 +0000 UTCLovely art as always, but funny enough I think my favorite part is the snowman's expression in the background!
OptimusPrime1212
2022-02-05 13:00:39 +0000 UTC1st image response: Atta girl Maya! 2nd image response: Ooh, poor Maya! Did Iris like it!? On a serious note though, I can remember many times in the past where either I or a girl that was interested in me made the first move for the first kiss. It's almost always a mix of shock, a rush, awkward, embarrassing or even maybe just plain fear after either you or the other person kisses the other. That deafening silence after the kiss and waiting to see what the other does or says.. Maya's expression clearly portrays that and Krys has done an excellent job of showing how Maya is feeling in that moment. Personally for me, I have been in Maya's shoes before and I can relate. So thank you Krys for not only making this series featuring my favorite girls but also reminding me of past experiences such as these and actually being able to relate/feel something.
Tucker Mapes
2022-02-05 03:38:32 +0000 UTCIris' finger to lips gesture says she wants to keep that feeling. I think Maya is safe.
Iquitous
2022-02-04 21:47:50 +0000 UTCLOVE Maya’s expression! Absolutely conveys instant regret…
Missouri_Viking
2022-02-04 20:35:04 +0000 UTCWell, I can't wait to find out :-)
Eddie Murphy
2022-02-04 19:08:07 +0000 UTCthank you! It's something I've been trying to improve over the past years, so I'm definitely happy with the result =D
Lee
2022-02-04 18:45:54 +0000 UTCno worries, part 3 and 4 will be coming next week. I'll start the month with them =D
Lee
2022-02-04 18:45:25 +0000 UTCthanks! It definitely required some "repaints" to get it right lol
Lee
2022-02-04 18:44:32 +0000 UTCit's a mix of "fun" and "scary". Because there was a lot of expectations from people
Lee
2022-02-04 18:44:15 +0000 UTC=x
Lee
2022-02-04 18:43:46 +0000 UTCthank you!
Lee
2022-02-04 18:43:37 +0000 UTChe's too shocked to melt
Lee
2022-02-04 18:43:33 +0000 UTClol I wanted to make sure she had that "what the?!" expression
Lee
2022-02-04 18:42:30 +0000 UTCthank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Lee
2022-02-04 18:42:15 +0000 UTCthank you!
Lee
2022-02-04 18:42:07 +0000 UTCdid it? DID iT?!
Lee
2022-02-04 18:42:01 +0000 UTCthank you! =D
Lee
2022-02-04 18:41:49 +0000 UTCthank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Lee
2022-02-04 18:41:41 +0000 UTCI don't know!
Lee
2022-02-04 18:41:30 +0000 UTChe'll be fine!
Lee
2022-02-04 18:41:20 +0000 UTCthank you! I wanted to make something a little more "romantic" for a scene like that.
Lee
2022-02-04 18:41:06 +0000 UTCKrys, you already have the best facial expressions around, but you've really outdone yourself with these. I can practically hear a muffled squeak from Iris, or Maya's sharp intake of breath. It's just too much fun!
Highbrow
2022-02-04 17:50:34 +0000 UTCShe'll have to wait mere seconds. WE will have to wait for a month! (I'm sure it will be worth it for both Maya and the fans, of course, but still.)
Highbrow
2022-02-04 17:49:19 +0000 UTCOf course the follow-up was even more adorable, not that I expected anything less! Hopefully Maya won't be kept in nervous anticipation for too long!
Jazzpha
2022-02-04 16:47:58 +0000 UTCIris doesn't seem unhappy!
Marcia Taylor
2022-02-04 15:58:43 +0000 UTCWow I really love their expressions in the second pic. Especially Maya; it's not an expression you usually get to draw for your regular stuff.
Alex Clerm
2022-02-04 15:56:12 +0000 UTCLol they're so cute, must be such fun drawing this stuff
Tristan Bassingthwaighte
2022-02-04 15:56:07 +0000 UTCPlease don't say no, Iris , pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stephanie
2022-02-02 19:51:06 +0000 UTCLove that expression!
Jon Walson
2022-02-02 17:12:13 +0000 UTCIf I was that snowman, I would start melting a bit
DeeVee
2022-02-02 13:36:40 +0000 UTCDeer, meet headlights. She did not expect that to happen I guess.

Sven M.
2022-02-02 07:17:58 +0000 UTCFinally my baes~! Love seeing stuff with Iris and Maya! Fantastic job!
Tucker Mapes
2022-02-02 05:50:07 +0000 UTCI will be cumming for a few days as the build-up reaches its climax.
Blayne Jensen
2022-02-02 04:30:54 +0000 UTCAbsolutely precious, and a great payoff for all the build-up. Definitely worth the wait!
Jazzpha
2022-02-02 04:16:31 +0000 UTCOh, man, the moment of truth... Will Iris reciprocate? She looks very shocked!
Eddie Murphy
2022-02-02 04:16:23 +0000 UTCIt even took the snowman by surprise!
Craig from Omaha
2022-02-02 04:08:21 +0000 UTCAwww this is so cute! Love it
