New character + Lore (Patreon)

Hey guys! It's been a while since a new character has been in my mind and it seems that I finally could give this guy a face. It's not just any new random character. In fact, it's a very special one.

Currently, I already have a couple of canonical characters in a same sex relationship (Al and Miki) however, (and I'm not gonna lie) I've been wanting to give Leif a same sex partner to look after him in a way that no other else would. Because of this, I didn't want to force anything and I just let time pass until everything would come out naturally. I must say, I've also been wanting to draw BL art with Leif and since it's about him, it has to be very special and not with just any random character out of the blue.
I've drawn BL in the past with my guys Al and Miki and I love them so much, but it's just not the same as drawing Leif who is my most special and important character above everyone else lol.

That being said, I'd like to start talking a bit more about this guy and other relationships. 

First of all, his name.. well, I'm still not very sure. Names like Tomyo or Aiki come to my mind and I think I like Aiki more since "Ai" means love in japanese haha. I still think more about it. Also, he's 25 years old. 

This guy (let's call him Aiki for now) is Xelgot's best friend.

In my story, Leif starts at 19 years old and Xelgot, who also plays the role of Leif's big brother, as a 25 years old guy. Many years ago, Xelgot's parents adopted Leif as one of their own when he was just a little kid after a tragic day when Leif's village was attacked. Since then, Xelgot has been watching over Leif as his big brother, being raised both as siblings.

In the next pic we see little 5 years old Leif and 11 years old Xelgot.

As you can see, they get along very well :')

Aiki and Xelgot are childhood friends and since they always sticked together, that relationship allowed Aiki to get to know Leif better, until one day, Aiki realized his true feelings for him. 

I still don't know if in my main story Leif's feelings towards Aiki will be reciprocated. Many things will happen (including Leif being interested in a mysterious girl) but in the case the answer is yes, it may be at a very late point in the story (spoilers?). There will be multiple romantic relationships in my story, but romance itself won't play a big role.

I must say that when I draw my ocs in modern outfits it's because:
-I'm lazy to draw them in their fantasy outfits
-I haven't designed their fantasy outfits (I need to fix that soon)
-They look good in jeans and shirts lol

And last but not least, I organized my featured hashtags again for easier browsing through my feed. Although "BL" (Boys love) is still pretty much patreon only content, there will be solely bl posts in there, while "Patreon Only" will feature a mix general content exclusive for patrons, which can be BL, lore, announcements, occasional tutorials, early access to some content, etc. 

I hope this makes sense :'D

If you have read until this point, thank you so much! I will keep developing this character a bit more and bring you all some cute bl later x//D Thanks!!

PD: Aiki is 1.87m so he's way taller than Leif lol. In fact.. almost everyone is taller than him x//D. Leif is smol.

PD2: Character subject to possible new changes.. including name.
