forgot authors name, it was out around 2014

Based on this, It appears to have been hosted here in 2012.
That’s currently occupied by what appears to be a Swedish domain squatter with random pornographic comic images.
If we plug that into archive.org’s Wayback Machine, it looks like the comic was being hosted on some “Smack Jeeves” webcomic hosting platform. The comic itself is not visible from a quick attempt to load it, but one does get a page warning about it containing an adult webcomic, so I assume that this is the correct thing.
Manually doing a binary search to find the last-known-good date on the Wayback Machine, the last crawl that contained the comic was October 3, 2014. Subsequent crawls give a message that say that the domain is no longer hosted by Smack Jeeves, and one will need to pay to renew.
Tineye has not indexed any similar images to the one you uploaded, so if there are online archives, Tineye probably hasn’t crawled them.
EDIT: It looks like Smack Jeeves shut down in 2020, based on this. That Reddit discussion contained an archive.org link to an archive of old Smack Jeeves content. Pawn appears to be archived here, from which you can download the archived comic as a whole from the download links next to “Show All”.
EDIT2: Based on the text in this image from the above archive, the artist is one “Fredrick K. T. Andersson”. That might be a pen name; some creators of pornographic content work under a pen name.

According to this 2017 post, DerangedMeowMeow is the same user on DeviantArt, and “Fredrick K. T. Andersson” is, in fact, their real name, sans the initials.

The DerangedMeowMeow account appears to contain Pawn, as well as some other work. DeviantArt does not appear to let users without an account view pornographic content.
My man
Great work, detective!
Thanks very much :)
Will learn to use archive.org in future
It also looks like it’s possible to partially bypass DeviantArt’s mature content filter without getting a DeviantArt account via GreaseMonkey with this userscript:

Nope, but now you got me fucking intriqed so tell me if you find out x.x
Found their deviantart page, but they haven’t been active since 2020 (and that was a post apologizing for not being active for a year).
The comic looks like its uploaded there, but it didn’t look like it was in very high quality.
that was one of my favorites. I assume that the artist just moved on because shit happened.
Looks kinda like a greatly scaled-down fork of Subnormality to me.
Or “Felarya” (sp?), that erotic comic.

I really don’t get the comparison. Seems to have nothing in common to me.
Both of the ones I mentioned involve huge, female monsters who sometimes have friendly relations with much-smaller humans. Outside of such relations, the monsters will commonly devour or slaughter most other humans.
This one here gave me strong vibes of that.
I’ll look further into it. I only skimmed the first few pages and it seemed to just be standalone comic pages.
With Felayra, you should be able to tell right away. There’s a bunch of stories online.
With Subnormality, it would take more familiarity. The signature monster there is a female sphinx that appears regularly.
