Jane Doe Sketch

Old sketch for cool guy JohnDoe on tumblr, whose tumblr is really super duper NSFW.

So I'm trying to manage my costs a little better, I've been a lot more careful this month about spending on food, and reduced my groceries to roughly 20-25 dollars a week among other things. Cutting down on snack foods is good for a lot of ...

Bats

I feel like I've stagnatted a bit, and haven't done enough to branch out in a couple ways. Don't get me wrong, I actually think a bunch of my stuff is TECHNICALLY better but in the rush to please or only do pleasing shapes, I haven't really explored real dynamic angles and poses.

I've toyed with it a bit but I'm afraid my ...

shiney

this is such a labor intensive way to shade but the results are pretty fun and worthwhile. It could be better, but that comes with practice

J Scott Campbell Draws Weird

and I tried to copy it... Not really the best at copying it but there are things to really learn from how he does things. And I'm not certain that's necessarily in his anatomy...

Peia Page Preview (spoilers duh)

I hate to say it but that panel at the top was surprisingly easy to draw. Maybe it's cause I've been in a similar "lie down for a while sad" position recently.

April 2016 patron supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

Some meme/template thing on /co/

Not including this in the set cause it's just a meme thing based on that one still of a lifeguard from Lilo and Stitch with certain assets enhanced. It's silly, and it's technically a trace. So no including it.

And now I've got a small headache and should get some rest. Catch you guys later.

(by the way, the patr...

It's working out

I know it's kinda added a fair bit of stress, but I can absolutely see the appeal of just working on a set. You get a fair amount of freedom and autonomy. At the same time, I can't be quite sure how well it'll work out. I suppose we'll see soon enough...

Sammy

There's something to be said about letting  your hands dictate what you draw. It's obvious, and often times can result in stuff that's more natural and fun and stronger than anything you could've thought of. But there's a real danger in just leaving your brain in the off position especially while designing. You can find you...

Buns

Buns are great.

In less great news, I've had a couple shakeups in my near term plans that don't involve art. The April book is still going fine but I'm running late on the next page, and the stuff involving my real world family isn't helping at the moment.

simultaneously the best pizza and kimono I've drawn

I really haven't drawn enough kimonos (or worn enough for that matter) to know how they work and know exactly how to draw them...

April Sketchbook Still Coming Out

Still having fun with this idea, and gonna make a few good pics out of it too.

I'm considering the format pretty carefully. Since I don't really wanna constrain any one image to certain dimensions I probably can't use a PDF format. Maybe I could make a PDF on the side so I can talk about the pieces and each one has a title...

Another Peia Page Preview!

I mentioned earlier about an intentional shift in color. Well here we go from glorious sunset to something that should be a lot colder. It's gonna be tricky managing all the different colors of the characters in that next scene but if it gets across as something a little less "happy" than riding off into the sunset we'll have do...

Cyber April Because...

Some of you guys have been patreons of mine for quite a long time (thanks for that by the way.) And if anything, I should think some of you guys have a growing familiarity with the things I like. Hopefully you like some of them too.

April 2016 High Res Dropbox Link!

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ww15jxqamaxnn2i/AABl1ThTL1MTreo4nbX_QHiDa

Enjoy!

Some Kinda Monster Thing?

I'm very tired at this minute, I apologize of course for some of the late things. But I figured it's gonna be better to show you guys something new rather than heading to bed without having done so.

By the by, the April High Res Box should be up by the time you see this! With an April picture no less.

Peia Page Preview

One of the things I'm really impressed by in good animated films are attention to palettes as they relate to the emotional story arcs. You'll find segments of the story where everything is grey but then just revitalized with color as we get to the point where all the heroes are working together. That kind of stuff is really nice...

April for April

On the list of things that may or may not happen, I tossed around the idea of an April themed sketch collection for April. And I may ask a few friends and colleagues whether or not they want in. Largely it should be just for fun, but the goal would be a PDF of semi cheesecake images of 80's April that should be sold fairly cheap...

psy-aye-aye duck

Happy april guys. I think I may jump on doing that april o'neil thing for fun. Could be a fun book to put out later too...

Anyway, I have an affinity to Psyduck. I don't think I'm alone in that. Psyduck's just this little guy that goes unappreciated for their talents partially due to crippling mental issues but somehow sti...

realistic battle damage

To tell the truth guys, I've been kinda in a weird depression slump this whole month. I feel like I wasted a lot of time and haven't really produced at the quality I was hoping to. Every now and then there's a sketch or so that I like but I haven't been feeling satisfied. Not with the work, the work is objectively pretty good an...

Thank you so much for the support this month!

bat "pinup" sketch (NSFW)

I think I'm actually a bit reluctant to call this a pinup sketch. To me there's some small amount of "sad" that I wanted to get across here which makes it a bit less pure pinup to me. That vaguely discernible rectangle in the background is supposed to be a mirror. And one of the things I remember most about the old batgirl run w...

Apologies if this is your thing

But I dunno if I've figured it out yet. Xcom's Viper aliens are really cool though...

This was a nice pic

But in no way are those pants.

Oh, and if you haven't been checking, there's an ACTUAL NSFW sex type pic in the patreon drop box for march. Hopefully you guys have that link!

Fiver

Sorry, sometimes I don't post much not because I'm not drawing, it's partially because I feel like I've run out of things to say that aren't apologies. The high res box has been filling up a bit though.

a little tied up at the moment

okay, so I've been getting bad at updating this site. And I hate myself when that happens. I'm trying not to hate myself so much though. I just had some student e-mail me about wanting to do a profile on me as an inspirational creator. I think they're nuts but... it's kinda nice.

impractical fight scene sketch (NSFW)

This is me redrawing some dumb thing I drew years ago but with better anatomy and more dynamic action. Hopefully it comes out nice.

fit girl

sketch for a semi secret thing, it won't take long before you can spot it

Adventure April

In an alternate universe, IDW lets me write and draw an Adventure April O'Neil series based on her getting into trouble and getting out of jams and calling the Turtles to take out specific bad guys using information she gathered. And there's precedent in the franchise for that!

But I like to liken it to James Bond movies. ...

Peia Page Preview

This is a rare instance of a preview for the finished page of a page already uploaded. This kind of experience helps me keep sympathy for companies that release games that need post launch patches.

Anyway, in an attempt to save some time (and I think it's working a bit) I'm trying the Overlay color method here. There were ...
