I don't know if I've mentioned it here, but a few months ago a neighbor brought over a stray calico in a very pregnant condition. She had her kittens in our "spare" room, and they've been gradually destroying it ever since. The bigger they get the higher they can reach, so I keep having to move m...

I have a fondness for the classics, as you know, and monster girl pinups don't get any more classic than a sexy female swamp creature. Cheesecake of Horror will have more than a few. It's also a fun concept to play with, in terms of design: fins, gills, scales, skin coloration patterns, ...

Here we have Meg's final costume design for "Undercovers". As I was roughing out the first pages of the story, I noticed that the short stockings weren't very flattering, especially after the skirt comes off. So I made the stockings longer, and I thought I'd have her show you her secret weapon. T...

For those who aren't here for this kind of content, I apologize for running two such similar commissions back-to-back, but I wanted them close together on the page for anyone who wants to compare. I suppose "severity" is relative--both pieces involve the same water demon, and three tentacles--but...

This is so strange. I've done two or three commissions with this exact theme, and I could have sworn I posted at least one of them here. But I went through my not-exactly-up-to-date files, and went through all posts on the page twice, and, well, I guess it was my imagination. It could al...

Here we are at the next stage of the Day of the Dead commission. Obviously I've sketched-in Death, but a lot more has happened as well. I've added Deja's hands, Maria's hand and fan, and rendered Abbey's dress. I completely changed Death's pose, when I realized that you wouldn't have been able to...

See, this is what I mean by overdoing the sketching thing. If this keeps happening, I may have to switch from the sketchbook to Bristol board, because the sketchbook paper has a pronounced surface texture. Fighting it makes these things take much longer than they otherwise would. But it turned ou...

Here's the commission I'm currently working on. It depicts Maria, the character in the Day of the Dead makeup (who has her own comic, though I'm not familiar with it; apparently it was a TV show as well), posing with Deja Vu, Abbey, and Neil Gaiman's Death. All are wearing variations on Day of th...

Oh, Meg...again? I've said it before--how does she get into these situations? I'm sure part of it is me being paid to produce these images, yeah; that's got to figure in somehow. But maaayybe there's more to it. Think about it: People's bedroom personas often completely contradict that o...

It turns out that doing commissions back-to-back, prepping the Far West story, and producing Patreon content is a bit much to do concurrently. So I'm going to spend a week or so doing a bunch of sketches (like the one above) so that I have a supply of new content to post here while I fin...

I just don't know what happens to my characters, that they fall into these situations so often. Is it good luck or bad? Do they really mind, or is it roll play? And do the little demon guys make this a group thing, or are they just considered staff? These are the things that keep me up at night.<...

I spent a few hours cleaning up a scan of what was going to be this week's post, only to realize that it just wasn't good enough to post. So I came up with this, which I don't think has been seen before-- coincidentally, because I didn't think it was good enough. (It may have run on the back of a...

As you may or may not have noticed, I try to keep the designs of everything in Far West as close to our own Old West as possible (and I mean the real Old West, not the version we were sold by Hollywood up until the 70s or so). I think that grounding helps sell a world that...

I posted this commission to Facebook a few years back, to mostly positive responses, but I did get one that irked me. It said simply: "Why are this woman's pants torn? What purpose does that serve?" Now realistically, I understand the mentality this is coming from; it's the whole "exploitation" a...

My sketching skills have really atrophied lately. Sketching from imagination, I mean. Everything I do these days is on deadline, so I don't have a lot of time to just sketch; everything is focused on getting to that final image as directly as possible. Skills dull with lack of use, though, and my...

Here's one that might surprise you: a commission of Abbey as a Roman gladiator. In direct contrast with last week's Abbey pinup, of course. The costume is as accurate as research could make it. The idea might have made for an interesting short. Abbey's a petite powerhouse today, but that's becaus...

So, last week was a little weird, work-wise. I spent most of it on a commission, only to realize on Saturday that it wouldn't be suitable as a main post. I'll still share it when it's done, but the subject isn't exactly as attractive as I think you've all come to expect. So I scrambled to come up...

You might recall a pinup of Charli and the man-in-the-moon I posted awhile back. Well, here's a commission along the same lines. I could regale you with fascinating details of what a bitch it is to do huge black areas like this (and to try to get them really black) with no decent black inks on th...

Hello everyone. It's okay, you can all relax. The question you've all been asking yourselves--"Can a vampire be a faerie?"--has been answered. I mean, I don't actually know, but I do know they can be drawn as a faerie. I proved it, with this commission, right here (although a...

Just a page from my sketchbook, a bunch of sketches of monster girls. You may have already seen more developed versions of some of them, I'm not sure. I've got like five versions of the Godzilla girl going, just testing out different media and color schemes. And the witch I used as an experiment,...

So here she is--evil Deja, before she was Deja, that is--inked, then with gray tones. I should have pointed out with the last commission that, as with this one, when I know I'm going to be adding gray tones, I ink much more sparingly, sticking mostly to thick lines and omitting thin lines that in...

As usual, I forgot halfway through this piece that it was supposed to be a work-in-progress presentation, hence the jump from inks to final render. Oops. But you can still see some of the evolution, like the removal of some details (like the window at upper left) to avoid clutter, and the additio...

Waaayyy back, when I still had a thing called optimism (yes, that far back), Elin Winkler, owner and editor at Radio Comix, created a character called Cookie.
