Preview from Patreon of Vagrant Song, my #ghoap road trip comic/sketch project.

Drawing of a vehicle interior. Ghost is driving with one arm propped on the open window. Soap is dead asleep in the passenger seat, headphones askew and a line of drool coming from his mouth.

Close up of road trip paraphernalia scattered on tabletop - a map with scribbled notes, compass, spilled bag of chips, half-eaten breakfast sandwich, steaming coffee, and a sketchbook.

Interior of a vehicle with trees blurring past the windows. Soap is driving, looking happy and relaxed in sunglasses. Ghost is asleep, chair tipped back, arms crossed, hat covering his eyes.

Based on a Tumblr post by user novasintheroom from a couple years ago that lodged in my head and never really left. "Birds Will Be Birds"

A one page comic in black and white.
A therapist asks Ghost, "Let's start by getting you a new hobby, hm?" He responds reluctantly "all right."
He sees a woman sitting on a bench knitting and thinks, "Knitting looks relaxing. Maybe I'll give it a go." He stops outside a craft store and looks at the door thoughtfully, then hurries on when two people leave the store excitedly talking about doilies.
He is walking along when his attention is caught by a poster for art classes at the library.

My one contribution for #bottomghostweek2026 comes from my sketches for a future adaptation of David and Goliath (but make it Ghoap).

Two sketches from an adaptation of David and Goliath with Soap and Ghost respectively.
Left: A close up of Ghost's bare ass, with a cartoonishly flustered Soap gawking at him with his tunic sliding off one shoulder.
Right: Ghost, naked and panting, while Soap fucks him from behind. Soap is gripping Ghost's hip with one hand with another in the middle of his back and looking generally pleased with himself.

Some Soaps from Patreon 🧼

A cartoony Soap reacts with horror to something off screen (spoiler: a phone dropped in water)

Close up of Soap looking over his shoulder flirtatiously

Close up of Soap as a DJ wearing headphones and raising one arm. He is lit with blue highlights and looks like he's having a good time.

Soap sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle, dead asleep. His headphones are askew and there's a line of drool coming from his mouth. The dash is strewn with the detritus of a road trip: snack wrappers, sketchbook, maps, and a phone holder. Miniature novelty flip flops and a pine air freshener dangle from the rearview mirror.

My Insta feed aligned perfectly to give me this vision a while back #ghoap

Ghost stands with hands on his hips, wearing bright blue leggings and a tank shirt that says Thick Thighs Crush Skulls.
To one side is a screenshot superimposing Ghost's head onto a photo of someone wearing a similar outfit.

Soap eventually got his wish 🙌 (apparently I never posted these to Bluesky, but this was a perfect opportunity to do so~)

Panel 1: Ghost leans over a map, pen in hand and looking irritated back at Soap leaning heavily on his back with his hands in Ghost's pockets. Ghost is saying "hands to yourself, MacTavish."
Soap responds "but I'm so cold, LT" (a lie)
Panel 2: Soap has shoved his hands up underneath Ghost's hoodie to grab his pecs, and the viewer is treated to a view of Ghost's abs and the band of underwear visible above his jeans. Soap is saying cheekily "ok how about this then" with a little emoji happy face. Ghost looks taken aback and embarrassed, exclaiming "Stop groping me in public Johnny"

Panel 1: Ghost and Soap are lounging around the open back of a camper.
Panel 2: Soap is wearing Ghost's baggy hoodie and looking pleased with himself while Ghost looks on, amused but trying to hide it. Soap is saying "ohhhh look a' me ahm Ghooost, ahm sooo mysterious and sexy .."
Panel 3: Ghost has turned away (probably to hide his expression) and is saying "better mysterious and sexy than fucken annoying."
Soap is saying "och you love me LT... ye cannae deny"

Work has obliterated me lately so my #ghoap sketches have been on the silly side.

Ghost grabs the front of Soap's muscle shirt, exposing his pecs.

Soap says, "Ye know, it's only fair ye take yer tiddies out too..." followed by a series of emojis making a cutesy gesture.
Ghost is crossing his hands over his chest like an embarrassed anime girl and saying, "no."

Finished laying out the pages for Vagrant Song, aka Ghoap road trip. Over 80 pages of art! I really like this analog method bc I kept finding tidbits in different sketchbooks and it's easier for me to move them around like this vs digitally. Super stoked to work on this after NOPA 🙌

Patreon previews (the AU Special)

Ghost and Soap astride motorcycles, with Soap looking back at a helmeted Ghost and saying, "I know we're ridin' motorcycles now but-"

Ghost and Soap as a scarred gray wolf and a brown wolf respectively, Soap saying excitedly, "Race you to the portal!"

Ghost, Gaz and Soap stare down at something on the ground. Ghost says, "Why are we messing with this thing again?" Gaz responds, "C'mon mate it'll be fun!" and Soap adds, "What, are you scared?"

Soap and Gaz in their game outfits, looking mildly confused. Gaz asks, "anyone else getting déjà vu?"

Not entirely sure how I ended up with an ad for the movie David, but I'm glad I stuck around for Goliath bc from the back he's a dead ringer for Ghost. nothing quite like recycling a religious movie into a #ghoap AU

Soap stares up at Ghost towering over him, thinking "he's huge..."

This week's Patreon comic page is late because I've been traveling all over the damn place for work, but also because I spent a lot of time rendering these very refined expressions.

Alex, Soap, and Gaz cling onto an inflatable boat being towed at high speed. Alex is hanging on looking like he's regretting every decision that brought him to this point. Gaz is barely holding on, sunglasses flying off, legs flopping in the air. Soap has a vacant look of rapture akin to a muppet staring into space.

Last two pieces for the CoD Big Bang! This was so much fun to work on to go along with the amazing writing by @simcoehole.bsky.social, who once again knocked it out of the park. Read it here: archiveofourown.org/works/658784...

Comic of John and Simon from Call of Duty. John is sitting on Simon's lap in a pool, both naked and looking very surprised as black smoke wafts from Simon. They stare at each other, stunned, before kissing.

John and Simon from Call of Duty in an ancient Greek AU. They are dressed in scanty one-shouldered tunics and riding horses that are colored to represent the man opposite. John is looking at Simon with open adoration, while Simon gazes back with no less adoration, but it's also got a hint of smugness.

The art for chapters three and four of the CoD Big Bang! Story by @simcoehole.bsky.social, which you can read here: archiveofourown.org/works/658784... Story + artwork update every week!

Simon, a huge pale minotaur, is getting sucked off by John. Simon is on the ground, lying back with a hand tangled in John's hair, while John is naked with his back to the camera.

Two close ups of John sucking Simon's huge minotaur dick. On the first image, John looks intent upon the task at hand. In the second image, he is bracing himself as Simon's cum runs down his chin and hand.

Two close ups of Simon's eyes watching John. In the second image of Simon, he is screwing his eyes shut as he comes.
Two images of John show him lasciviously licking cum from Simon's belly, just above his now-flaccid dick.
The second image shows John pressing a tender kiss to the same spot, his expression softer.

Simon loses his balance as John, wearing a short blue tunic and greaves, pulls on a red thread tangled around Simon's legs. They are in some kind of arena, with torches throwing long shadows on the ground.

My first two pieces for the CoD Big Bang! @simcoehole.bsky.social knocked this minotaur AU out of the park and it has been a blast making art for it! Read it here: archiveofourown.org/works/658784... Chapters + art will be released weekly.

A comic page depicting an ancient Greece AU of John and Simon from Call of Duty. They are in an indistinct hallway lit by torches.
Panel one shows Simon, a huge pale minotaur with black horns, looming over and pressing his axe against the neck of John, a shorter man with a mohawk and a blue tunic. Both are wounded from an earlier encounter. John is backed against the wall but looks determined and is holding the point of his sword against Simon's stomach.
Panel two is a closeup of the sword tip against Simon's stomach. A small trickle of blood is seeping through his happy trail to the black loincloth he is wearing.
Panel three is a closeup of John's jaw and neck and the axe pressed against it. There is a similar trickle of blood oozing from his neck.
Panel four is a view from over John's shoulder. Simon fills the frame, dramatic shadows highlighting the angry expression on his face and the silver ring in his nose. He is wearing a small blue pendant on a gold chain.
Panel five shows John, Simon's huge hand on his chest and axe against his throat, looking up undaunted and saying, "I have you now."

A comic page showing an ancient Greek AU of John and Simon from Call of Duty.
The first three panels show a progression of John falling asleep on a thin blanket, his bracers and a water skin on the ground beside him. He is holding a short sword flat against his torso, keeping it close at hand for an unexpected encounter. His eyes close.
Panel four is a large montage of the labyrinth showing various images from Simon's past and the present. A distant figure climbs a mountain, then walks a path under the mountain, sword in hand. John and a pale scarred man are face to face, nearly touching lips. A huge pale hand strokes the back of John's neck. Two young boys play with toy horses. John's thighs frame the pale minotaur. A woman, face covered, watches emotionlessly while another weeps, hand over mouth, with a man turned away. A close up of the pale scarred man's eyes, warm brown below blond eyebrows. Red thread connects these scenes to John, lying sleeping atop the center of the labyrinth.
Panel five is looking over the pale minotaur's shoulder as he looks down at John sleeping under a tattered tarp attached to the stone wall and held down with rocks.
Panel six shows Simon the minotaur with an intense and conflicted expression as he looks down.
