Pixel Painting Style Tutorial

Or "How to paint without blending using a pen without anti-aliasing". I couldn't think of a less cumbersome title in the first place!

A small guide for folks interested in how I do my work, with less text and more show. If y'all have anything you'd like to see demonstrated along these lines, send me a note!

Study Materials: Index Scans

November! November...While I catch up on owed things, here are two chunks from the notes I scrapped together last year from various sources on anatomy and process. Put off posting these thinking I'd find a more ideal format to transcribe them over to, but I think it would be better to make newer things from scratch with my curre...

Changes in October!

To cut to the chase: Following the payday, this page will become a tip jar. No further rewards will be offered, and all posts will be public.

It's been a very interesting six months since I gave Patreon a shot, and your support has motivated me to do a lot of things since! I've done more commission work and made more stri...

Wasn't expecting a commission load for computer part replacements! But the good news is that they, along with all the drawing this Patreon pushed me to doing, cranked up my speed to Eleven.

Second week's environment studies got buried under the workload for parts funds, but the perspective still comes easier and the hardes...

Day 3, Coming Together

Twelve hours of redrawing cylinders and scratching out boxes with bungled vertices and its starting to happen! A lot of learning's been done, stuff that will roll right into next week's subjects smoothly when I'm putting these guys in rooms to have a four-way shag.

These are the most recent batch of today's photo st...

First Day on Foreshortening

It gives artists a lot of grief trying to depict convincing depth in an image. Six hours of scribbling and studying though have already got me learning how to push those head-on limbs, how an exaggeration might be called for. Building bodies with construction (as opposed to my usual shape painting process) is still clumsy in my ...

The First Month!

We're on our way at last! Thank you to everyone who's stopped by, pledged, and/or spread the word of this page.

Getting right to it. The first month is going to be a combination of me figuring out how and what to work on so that I can get some Actual Rewards set up for May. It's easier to build these things u...
