I draw Ricky, Steve, and Karl a lot so I'm finally doing an art book. I'll try to update it a lot, but I can already tell that school and stuff like that will be a burden. I hope you like my art! :)
Before I show any art, I just wanna say I'm so sorry for not updating! I've been really busy with other projects, and I've been working on summer work for the next school year. I apologize for the lack of content, y'all.
And with that, we have an art dump!
The first thing I have for you guys is something I did exactly a month ago. I listened to an episode of the Two Shot Podcast with Craig Parkinson that had Karl on as a guest (which I HIGHLY recommend, by the way, it's amazing) and he very briefly mentioned his cats. That's right, it's not just one cat! He confirmed that he has more than one cat! As you may imagine, I did freak out, and I cried for about twenty minutes after learning that Karl is a father of multiple. So naturally, I drew this.
DISCLAIMER: If you see (or saw) any art with "smerchanted" on it, have no fear! That's my Twitter username. I don't post art much, but sometimes I accidentally sign art with that name.
Anyway, art. Here he is! Canon Karl, for the first time in months!

Now, you may be wondering how I managed to figure out how these cats look. I don't actually know! I messaged him on Facebook a year ago and asked if I could see him, and he refused because he "wants it to be free from all that shite." Haha, good times :')
And yes, I do have names for all three of the cats. Would they be considered OCs then? Ah, the life of someone who's main fandom is literally 50% mystery. Anyway, from left to right, the cats that I came up with are named Gypsy (female), Fergie (male), and Blondie (female). Not his real cats, though. Very sad. Maybe one day he'll show us, but for now, I hope these made-up cats suffice.
Now, onto the next thing! I completed this yesterday / last night, and I AM SO SO SO PROUD OF THIS OH MY GOD. It took me about three or four days to complete, which is almost unheard of for me because most of my art takes around one or two days. This personally might be one of my favorite drawings I've done in this artbook ever. I'm dead serious.
And why am I hyping this art up so much?
Because it's a groupshot of RiSK. Yes, the AU.
Here it is.

Dying in 3... 2...
Seriously, the boys really outdid themselves.
Like, KARL. THE FACE. CALM THE FUCK DOWN.
RICKY. THE HICKEY. CALM THE FUCK DOWN. (That rhymed. I smart.)
STEPHEN. THE HAIR. CALM THE FUCK DOWN.
There are so many little details about this drawing that I am SO HAPPY I added. And as for their designs, this is currently how they look. Until I change 'em up again, these designs are canon to the AU now.
TL;DR: Steve's half-dyed hair is here to stay. And the long hair in the back too.
And now you know why I love it so much ✨
Until next time, guys! Stay home and watch some RSK.
