Now that I'm finally out from under the crush of that maddeningly time-consuming Marvel script (and its gratuitous "thumbnail" roughs, which will someday be seen here), I was able to work up a new Clip Studio Paint Life Drawing set. However...

After two weeks straight of nonstop grinding on a very difficult Marvel script (in turn after a week straight of tax-prep BS), I'm deep in a frickin' hole in terms of Patreon post content. So, here's what I could scrape up this morning for DiD material, starting with some semi-recent revisions to an old ...

Still dragging that seemingly endless g-d Marvel script to the finish line this morning, so I have only 10 minutes or so for another Patreon post; luckily, stumbled across some old files that, as far as I can recall, have never been posted here before.
After doing three or so cover illos for the fantasy RPG ...

Currently struggling with the worst g-d scripting deadline crunch I've ever faced (due to my own procrastination, tragically enough), so this art request of catgirl heroine "Pink" and kinda-sorta boyfriend "Santa" from the early 90s manga and anime Dragon Pink is gonna have to do for today's pos...

No time for a new Life Drawing set this week, so I transferred over some very early Clip Studio Paint tests from the ol' iPad.
First off, a 2020 sketch set drawn mostly using the Design Pencil brush, with which I was apparently experiencing some disenchantment at the time:
Behold, a very sweet illo from the excellent artist Matthew Weldon, featuring a bunch of the characters from my fantasy project The Chaste and the Chained! Why, 'tis a double-page spread and everything!
First off, his initial rough, which I found dandy indeed all on its own:
So!
A recent-ish art request from the $20 tier referenced an Empowered vol. 7 montage of DiD imagery that, in the lower left corner, featured our heroine laid low by wee ninjas:
These fellas were "The...
