Sorry I’ve been silent for so long - life got crazy busy this month! I decided to start over on Amber Cutie and go for a looser, more painterly look. She deserves a soft touch and more energy! Looking forward to producing more work as the holidays approach...

Based on Amber Cutie. Still not pleased with the face but I like what the body is doin’!

Here’s the October poll-winner! I originally had painted some highlights and reflections to make things look wet and shiny, but ultimately I prefer this flatter, more graphic look. Happy Sunday!

Happy November! While we're waiting to hear about election results, here's a bit of distraction: full-rez images and timelapse videos (and some animation).

Sorry I don’t have a new pic for you yet (almost done) but here’s on from last year. Be sure to vote in my image poll if you haven’t yet!

Image poll time again! Vote for as many as you like. Unlike the US elections, every candidate has something good to offer!
Based on an idea suggested by a patron, I leaned heavily on the work of Elvgren and Vargas for inspiration and reference. It was fun to work in this style, and not too laborious because I left out the background!
In other news there’s a lot of chaos in California with fire danger and power outages which has impacted m...

Here’s a WIP of my next piece. A bit of cosplay for Halloween!

Finally finished this fucking thing! Message to Future Me: don’t get so fancy with the line weight! Too much hassle to clean up, and it still wobbles a bit too much for my taste. Anyway, now I can get on to some new stuff and new ideas for the image poll.

Here’s the poll-winner from September at last!

It’s been a busy October for me so far which is why I’ve been kind of quiet lately. Rest assured I’ve got some good stuff cooking, including the poll-winning image from September. Have a great weekend, y’all!

Here are the high-rez and time-lapse videos for September. It went by so fast! Still time to vote in the September image poll if you haven't already.

Sorry this is coming so late - I can't believe September is almost over already! Vote for as many as you like - the poll will close in 5 days.

Trying some animation ‘cuz this pose was begging for it. The rough stage went pretty quickly; I suspect the cleanup will be a bitch! I don’t have a vector animation app so I’ll have to ink all those inbetweens manually.

Putting this one down before I over-work it. I’m thinking about doing an animated version!

Messing around with a more graphic style. I enjoy rendering, but I also enjoy seeing how simple & stylized I can go. Either way I’m always chasing appeal, and she’s an elusive muse!

Throwing in the towel on this portrait. I hope she likes it!

A quicky while I finish up the portrait. Trying to work out a charcoal technique in Procreate. Based on a photo.

I wanted to do a portrait of this performer I like. It’s taking much longer than expected, mostly because I keep reworking the hair. Hope to finish this weekend.

French titles always make things classier, non? Here’s the poll-winning image from August. Fun fact: I actually drew the original sketch for this back in July 2019. It’s been haunting the image poll ever since! When I post the time-lapse video you’ll see I must have redrawn the image 3 or 4 times before I found a sty...

Here’s a quick pic to commemorate this small milestone. Not as impressiveas the 20k I used to have on tumblr, but it’s a start. Gotta keep working!

And just like that, it’s September. I confess I started working on this image before the poll was closed, because I saw where it was headed! Not sure how I’ll color it yet.
August rewards and new stuff coming soon!

Only about half of you have voted in this month's Image Poll (see earlier post), so do your civic duty! As an incentive, here's a bonus image, one that didn't make the cut for my "Triptych" series. Happy Friday, everyone!

Here we go again! You’ve got one week. Choose as many as you like. Go!

I wanted to do some quick photo studies after the cyber girl marathon. Gave myself limitations of one color, simple shading, and no faces. It’s a fun challenge to try to convey emotions with hands, feet, and bodies!

Finally throwing in the towel on this one - over 12 hours of work! Maxed out on image layers and brought Procreate to its knees. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out but I would rather produce simpler images and more of them! I do love sci-fi, but I got so involved in the details and lighting on this one that it lost ...

Let’s start the weekend off right! I’ve had this idea kicking around in my mind for a while and I decided to bust it out quickly. I’m still working on the poll-winner image; the lighting and coloring style is a bit (too) ambitious so it’s taking longer than expected. Expect to see that one and at least one more new ...

Hi Patrons,
It's been surprisingly busy month and I haven't had as much time to invest in new images as I'd hoped. Rest assured they are coming soon! In the meantime here are some quick studies from '16, a simpler time. Stay safe, y'all!
