I've been considering what to make the villains look like for Pretty Julie Technomancer. I think we're going to see something like a monster form and a "gentleman" form.

I'm pretty darn happy with this particular portion of a Lin Bei Fong commission. Emulating Sin City's style is, contrary to what it might sound like, requires a great deal of restraint.

Bayonetta Asami to go with that well received Revengance Korra from earlier. http://psuedofolio.tumblr.com/post/89926680701

Just speed rendering practice. I believe I was taking queues from a Lady Gaga picture. I have this nasty tendency to only look at the reference while drawing from reference which can lead to the image on the canvas suffering. Here I made a conscious effort to take the information I was seeing but actually make sure it "looks li...

I should color in Photoshop more often. It's been a bit and with the new ram in my system, running photoshop is a breeze.

Elizabeth's magic throwing powers scare the crap out of me. Unrelated to that, we've surpassed 400 a month! Time to run away with your money and party in the Bahamas! Muwahaha! Seriously though, I think I've got some nice plans for an 8 page comic. It should be pretty fun to share too!

My niece is the most demanding and underpaying regular customer...

There's a bit of an ongoing Colette gag story over on late nights in the stream that's more Adam Warren "Empowered" but without the action or the drama or the relationships stuff. So you can guess what that leaves in. But it's kinda made side character Suzie the go to "specialist" for getting friends out of really embarrassing ...

Honestly I was dreading this page when I was coming up to it, It's a super busy page and a little light on spectacle. I could have ended up getting trapped for days on a page with no pay. Unfortunately, that's just not reasonable with other work calling to me. So Just biting the bullet and trying to get through it quickly seems ...

Because I'm kinda silly and entertained by such things, I wanted to see what the composition could look like with a couple of selective layers being taken out of the picture... By the by, as with most commissions you'll find a full res copy in the dropbox!

Tight buns, color commission in progress

It's a little self indulgent to keep making characters even if you don't have a place for them yet in a story. But hell, "Story is character and character is story" right? It might be a good to start with making sure each of the cast of characters are interesting in their own right before resolving other major important story di...

Ya know... I have enough material to put together a Sketchie Book 4. I haven't considered it so much ever since the existence of this blog. But having a progress sketchbook is still pretty appealing to some folks.

Spoiler Alert!

We're almost done with the art! The last two pages of Cassiopeia Quinn issue number one are coming together really really well. But it's been so long, I'm just about gonna have to redraw that first page! First impressions are important and it'll be good to make sure that stuff is as gold as these later pages have become. It's b...

I want to practice quick hands if only for the sole purpose to not have to spend 40 minutes drawing the same hand wrong over and over again. Also... wait a second... am I about to hit 400 a month? I should get back to a couple of those milestones I mentioned...

Amazing Coventures Preview pages 32-33

One of my favorite pages I'd lain out is coming right up. I try not to fall in love with my own work too much, that leads down a pretty dark road. But I always like reading it when going over the story. And it's still good now.

More adventures in learning to color like really fast but still adding appreciable depth to a piece.

Ya know, Narp. You're probably gonna read this so I can state it. Any time you're having me draw Parts Princess I'll find a way to include the dang cat.

woof, it's been way too long since i updated this comic. You can see the finished new page right here. http://psuede.deviantart.com/art/Amazing-co-Ventures-1-Page-030-459138251 This sketch was made way back in my Ma...

Steak!

Just sketches of Yukiko and Chie of Persona 4 fame, preparing for a sketch commission. I should really finish that game.

I wonder what more super heroes do with cellphone cameras...

The June High Res Box Link

It's been suggested I organize it by updates. It's not a bad idea. In truth though, it gets updated very frequently but I haven't found a really convenient way to notify people of updates. It's almost safe to assume any commission I do gets a high res copy in the box but when I complete those, only people following the stream cl...

My favorite hoodie is all torn up now, just worn down and stuff. Plus it kinda doesn't really fit me anymore. Way too baggy for my tastes now. It's probably time to get a new one. The only other hoodie I have is still stained with paint from my days when coloring didn't mean sitting in front of an LCD screen for hours. Well... ...

A new month and a new round of updates coming up. By the by, I know I really haven't gotten to that Quest game. Though ideas for that are still forming in my head I haven't been putting a lot of work into figuring it out. I was a little disappointed at the lack of animated gif support in early patreon though I wonder if they've...

Savage /co/Ventures

Someone asked while I was drawing this, how does she see without glasses. Well, technically /co/lette's always used reading glasses, which explains why they're always so low on the bridge of her nose. I shouldn't really draw the upper part of her glasses frames but I always liked how the line worked across her iris. Anyway, cav...

Another month, another time to thank you all for your patronage! There'll be some updates soon. In the meanwhile, here's another simple sketch dealie.

May 2014 Patreon supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

Ya know, I really really love windows and light and somewhat domestic scenes. There was a time when I was not drawing cute anime girls and weird creatures, when I would just be painting or shading. And you'd find my composition always had something more of an Andrew Wyeth than a Alessandro Barbucci look to it. I was never quite ...

It's a huge change from what I used to do, but these days I've been getting very fond of this big dirty brush. It doesn't always look professional and a lot of the times the texture can get distracting. But the effect is almost always something I'm pleased with.
