🦋 Playground is complete! 🦋 The story has reached its ending: Part 4 is now available as a PDF! Thank you so much to everyone who supported me along the way – it’s been a wonderful journey, and I truly hope you’re happy with the ending! Available on itch 🌷 ▶️ ellenchain.itch.io/playground-p...

🧵 straw "Don't forget to update the comic on AO3 🙂" -> on it 🫡 (AO3 usually gets several pages at once because I think a chapter with only 4 pages is a bit… sad. So I'm skipping some updates so that socials and AO3 are somewhat synchronized)

Survey on artwork prints 🦋 I am currently asking on my Patreon which prints you would like to have with the printed edition of Playground! The survey should be accessible to everyone :) www.patreon.com/posts/139938...

I hope everyone understands that this is about Jayce, because my morning fog forgot to write his name

AU where Viktor's new neighbour has problems with his heating and therefore has no hot water. Being polite, Viktor lets him use his shower... Unnaturally, his neighbour manages to forget his shirt every. single. time. Viktor’s flood defences were not built for this.

🧵 straw "Will you post more jayvik art after playground 4?" -> Yes! My brainrot is still in full swing and I'm going to be in another zine, so there's no end in sight🫡

It's crazy how Patreon converts currencies... I didn't know it just converts €3 into $4. Because it's actually only $3.50? I set the tier in euros because I live in Europe. But suddenly $4 seems like quite a lot for what I'm posting...

It's almost done! I still have to draw four pages (illustrations), but then the printed version of Playground will be FINISHED, yay! So it will probably end up being a whopping 244 pages :)

"will you post part 4 of Playground on ao3 aswell? genuinely can't believe it's ending.... it was a delicious and horny ride. thank you sincerely, it was the best made porn I've ever seen" -> YES! Thank you for reminding me :)

I will upload the pages as soon as possible (individually like this) The PDF version is not ready yet :( I'm sorry for the confusion!

🦋 Playground part 4 🦋 Here we go: the fourth and final part of Playground 💜 I hope you enjoy! You will find: declarations of love, a little bit of angst, but a happy ending 🫶 ... well and of course the spicy stuff 😌

Big news!! Starting Thursday, DHL will resume regular shipping to the US – which means Playground can make its way! 🥳 There will be some extra costs (DHL is charging €2 for customs processing + customs fees, about €10 total on a $50 order), but at least it’s happening!!

🧵 straw "In part 4 of Playground will Viktor be trans in the 'real' world or will he have a dick? Did he have a coochie only temporarily bc hexcore? Or did he choose the coochie way of life?/gen" -> First of all, I had to laugh at ‘coochie way of life’ – very nice ahah thank you

I remembered that I have free will

absolutely I usually give him a trimmed bush because I think he would take care of it. But in the cottage... hmmm... I think he stops trimming there.

He is finally here 🥹♥️

🧵 straw "Will you do a Jay/Vik nightmare month art (halloween) like werewolves jayce and Viktor, vampire jayvik ??" -> Oh, I would love to🥺 Probably just one piece but I'll do my best! Because I love werewolves/vampires & Halloween 🤭 I'm excited to see what the others will do!

🧵 straw "pssst ellen did you know there's a sub bottom viktor week? i can only speak for myself but i would LOVE to see your take on the prompts 👀❤️ i adore everything you touch" -> oh I'd love to do something for the week🥺 But since Playground is my absolute priority right

I've drawn 21 jayvik pieces in the last few days so far (plus the new pages of Part 4) and I really want to show them, but I also want to make it print exclusive, but what if it doesn't go down well Ahahaha the uncertainty!!!

Ok who rubbed one out on the last post

🧵 straw "Would you ever consider holding a physical copy of playground for a little while if you do end up making them? I don't have money atm and won't anytime soon, but i really want one cause i LOVE playground!!" -> Don't worry, I'll be accepting pre-orders initially,

mwah #jayvik

🧵 straw "Hi Ellen, thinking about the US shipping issues, what about printing in the US though an indie publisher?" -> That's really sweet of you to help me find solutions! I'm not sure about the copyright for an indie publisher, though... Playground is my creation, but it's

🧵straw "Ellen, how do you balance your academic/work life while producing so much high-quality fanwork? You’re genuinely one of the most prolific artists in this fandom, and the fact that you’ve given us Playground + so much more is mind-blowing. You’re so productive!

Playground Print Edition: Tariff Situation Due to new customs regulations in the United States, DHL has decided to only ship ‘gifts’ worth less than USD 100 to the United States – and I doubt anyone at the post office will believe me when I say that the parcels I have in my

🧵straw "i used to be so disgusted by feet until your art, now there's just something about it that makes it seem so intimate and worshipful and im a little feral for it now, what have you done to me ellen💔" -> I'm really sorry, but then again: same... I don't even know how it

more WIPs 🫶

🧵 straw "what are your other favorite ships in media besides jayvik? :)" -> Unfortunately, my brain only works one way, so I can only focus on one ship at a time until I eventually drift away from the fandom and find a new ship... But I still love: - Grey47 (no one knows

Jayce + feet = 💜

🧵 straw "I really want a physical copy of playground but but can you make the cover none nsfw? If okay, I don’t want to risk someone seeing it and opening :(" -> I totally understand! I had thought of a cover similar to the previous ones, but maybe it will be more of a... cute

🧵 straw page "Not asking anything, just wanted to say how beautiful your works are and how much they helped me to accept my body as a trans man. Thank you!" -> hank YOU for this lovely message 🥺💖 I’m always so happy to hear that! This fandom has its problems but the way it

🦋 Playground part 4 update: I finished inking all 50 pages of the story today!! Now I 'just' have to colour it and draw the short epilogue!! 🥳

IMPORTANT QUESTION 👉What colour is the sex couch?? brown, black, red, white (??) or something else...? I also asked on Twitter because there is no poll option here :(

Two sides of the same coin, inextricably bound 🫶

"Hi! I hope it is okay to ask if you have any recommendations for starting drawing comics. I am honestly impressed with consistency you can draw with. Are you using 3D models to speed up the process?" -> Of course, it's okay to ask 💜 🧵 I've already considered doing some short
