Profile of an Artist "In This Style 10/6"

It's really wild how much pressure there is on everyone really, to somehow make all of their life marketable entertainment. You can't have just a hobby, you've got to stream your hobby and market your hobby and monetize your hobby. Which is a totally fine thing to do, if you feel like it. Sharing the things you love with othe...

A couple of these panels were particularly tricky. I had to bust out CPS's 3d models so I could know how them angles worked!

Profile of an Artist -- "Rolling that Stone"

I woke up yesterday before dawn with a migraine that didn't leave all day. I also woke up with a fully fledged idea for a comic about the amusing musings one has as an artist. This is that comic.

Kirsheen is surrounded by human horny collogues. 

January 2024 Pinup - Sending Out a Memo

It was a real fight to narrow all the great suggestions down to just a handful of sketches, and the Life Guard Patrons clearly spoke. They wanted more office shenanigans!

This one was so fun to do. It's so cheeky and playful. I really really like it. Though I fought with those heels for way longer than I had ...

Uh-oh. Looks like Alvarez has the brain damage. The kind of brain damage most every guy has, anyway.

Looks like Kirsheen isn't ready for Jhailee's shenanigans.

Just a little progress update on new pages! Jhailee's getting friendly there!

Gauntlight Characters Colored

Finished up those character drawings I started the other week. These came out super mooody, and I love them. It was a fantastic experiment to really push myself with using heavy blackwork. It's nice to know I have some range when I stretch myself.

The Nest

One of the things I enjoy about running RPGs now vs when I ran RPGs as a teen is that I can MAKE my own damn resources now. I grew up playing theater of the mind style games, rarely did we even have maps. We kept that shit in our heads like savages.

But now! Now when I want to paint a scene for players, I can literally ...

Aw yeah! Your boy Alvarez is getting some time with the Martians! Methinks Jhailee is more enamored with the situation than Kirsheen is...

The Gauntlight

I'm doing some drawings for a friend's RPG and I decided to really let myself embrace the black shadows for these. I am so incredibly pleased with how these are coming along. They're going to be absolutely amazing when they're done.

Glory Bowl pages 32-34

The final pages of Glory Bowl! Or at least the final pages I’m working on. This was a fascinating and delightful comic to work on, and I’m very grateful I got the chance.

As I understand the author (my client) is working on a second chapter and I’ll let you guys know where to find more of it when I know.

Jan2024 Pinup Suggestion Thread

Exclusive December Pinup: Belle & the Beast

There is no question in anyone's mind that Belle is the kinkiest of the Disney Princesses. I mean... come on. The Girl was here for it.

There were SO MANY amazing suggestions for this month's pinup. Truly. Some great prompts. But in the end it came down to a narrow race between Belle & the Beast and a Holiday XXXmas...

Making Snow "Friends"

All he really needs is a head... which she seems happy to provide.

A Polycule of Mars pages 26-28

And that's a wrap for part 1! A Polycule of Mars will continue with new pages in 2024 where we'll see a lot lot more of the rest of the crew of the Arge 7! ;)

Colors coming soon! But I do love those crispy lines.

Ok, so if you're short on ideas for an xxxmas present for that special someone, listen close:

Hats, right?

Chipping away at these pages. Really proud of them though. Got a little fun Martian background nookie in this one!

A Polycule of Mars pencils 26-28

Whoo! These three pages represent what I'm thinking of as the end of Part One of A Polycule of Mars. Gonna have a nice dramatic cliffhanger sort of ending here. And then we're going to roll right on in to Part Two! Get some of the rest of the crew in on this sexiness!

Warm Up Sketch "Untangling Ornaments"

Christmas lights are so unreasonably joyous. But boy howdy, putting them up can be a real mess.

Where do you want these?

November Pinup "Atom Eve & Invincible"

I am so incredibly pleased with how this one came out. I really tried to channel some of Ryan Ottley's style. Dude is an incredible artist.

Warm Up Sketch "Butt Bow"

Unwrapping presents is the most exciting part of the season...

Warm Up Sketch "Making Snow Friends"

These are super fun to do, honestly. They're cheeky and cute, and maybe naughty list material. ;) I'll try to find the time to get them colored. I like them as a collection.
