Progress?

1. Practice

2. ???

3. Profit!

I've been all over the fucking place recently (in regards to my art). I really want to figure out a method that's true to my style, looks good, and is easy to do. So far, I haven't had much luck figuring that out. For a good while know I've been basing my art around super cr...

Briar meets Bel, part 2

There's got to be a quicker way of doing this. I'be been following all these tutorials on more efficient and balanced coloring, and I always end up coming back to that same old "do one layer at a time and see what works" model, and I'm fucking sick of it. 

I'm thinking about working on comic pages differently i...

Briar meets Bel, part 1

I told myself I was going to wait till the full comic was done before I posted it, but page 2 should be done in the next couple days, and I don't want to go more than 3 days without posting something on my patreon. I'm doing a lot of Mark-verse stuff this month. You might remember Bel from waaaay long ago. He is a Prince's OC th...

Another Skyrim Update

Guess who is going to be DB's first assassination?

I'm starting to wonder if I'm mildly bipolar. Every time I color now I go back and forth between feeling amazing and feeling like absolute shit. 

Kobold Princess

This was probably the toughest princess to draw yet. I have drawn a couple Argonians recently, and even though I've been technically happy with the way everything has come out, I still can't get over the fact that I'm drawing a sexualized lizard person. Furry is weird enough, 'scaly' is even harder for me to get through. Looking...

Possibly Maxine Caulfield but not really.

It kinda looks like her though, right? 

This character is intended to be the apprentice of this character ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/2212455 )

I am very, very, very happy with the way it came out. I really am enjoying ...

Nell

Well, it's been brewing for a couple weeks, but here's the full character sheet for Nell. It didn't take me as long as the Tamora character sheet, but it still was a pretty good investment of time. I've got more coming out later this month (and into next month) that will be updates of Mark and the crew. 

Nell's Mounts

Some sketches of the various animals that Nell ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/3078972 ) has in her service. I imagine her being the kind of hunter who only does one of two things with animals; kills them or tames them. I'm really happy with the w...

A progression of styles

So the first panel was done in the new style I've been trying out. I render everything as a black and white image, and doing all of the details through value. It's really fun to do, and I really think it looks cool, but adding colors to colorless render isn't as simply as pressing a button. I have to use various layers of overla...

Ophis's Potions

I don't know. This is my second attempt at doing the black-white rendering and then coloring with overlays, and I'm not as thrilled as I was with the last one (the eskimo girl). Maybe doing a full comic page in this style was too ambitious. 

Anyways, Ophis is the OC of a patron. He's a friendly alchemist and ad...

Eskimo Nell Progress

I am . . . EXTREMELY satisfied with the way this came out, especially since the comic page I've been working on for the last couple days looks so terrible that I might need to redraw it (I lost two hours of work this morning when my Photoshop crashed). I didn't want to stop working though, so I figured I'd move on to the next re...

Choose your own?

WARNING, this is not something I'll ever finish probably. Last week I was feeling super bored with my progress on Dragonborn, and instead of just working on the last couple commissions on the stack for this month, I thought about how fun it would be to have a choose your own Patreon adventure novel. I got all excited and charted...

Absinthe comic

I'm super fucking happy with the way Absinthe came out, but I am less happy with the comic. Coloring larger scenes and comics is just tricky for me, and I never really get across the effect I want. In some ways it is too dark and de-saturated, but I can't imagine doing antthing differently. 

Anyway, PLEASE VOTE...

Tamora, Empress of Cytheria

Well this one has taken me quite a while. i think I started it almost two weeks ago and have been working on it little by little. I'm very lucky that my current Fool has been asking for things that relate to my own characters, because I probably wouldn't have had the time/energy/motivation to do this otherwise, but I think it's ...

Tamora, a Work in Progress

This is not done yet, I still have one more Tamora to draw. Basically the idea behind this is I'm making a visual timeline of Tamora's life (she's Cadence's mother if ya'll don't remember, and an evil queen to boot). She was raised in slavery by a band of barbarians, then stolen by a sultan who wanted her for his harem, and afte...

The Lusty Argonian Maid

I'm getting more comfortable with drawing Furry it seems, and despite my revulsion of Argonians I seem to be able to draw them the most competently. Why? Is it that my disgust stimulates a greater degree of focus, or is God playing a trick on me?

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with this one, and I think I accomplished the...

Seliora

A character for my newest Patron. I don't actually know anything about Seliora other than a couple images I've seen. Is she a satyr, a deer-furry? A deer-furry with a green tongue though? Anyway, I'm happy with the way it came out. 

Ghost Princess

The next TowerGirl. Still working on the comic, but I am SUPER happy with the way the art came out. 

Dark Krow, Sith Slaver

This one's been on the burner since last month. I wasted an entire day coloring this one while watching a tutorial on youtube, trying to learn a more efficient and balanced method, but I failed miserably and started over. Drawing this one really got my Star Wars itch to come back, and I ended up reading articles on Wookiepedia f...

DBDB Progress report.

Not really readable, but just showing ya'll that Part 2 of DBDB is something I'm dedicated to, and I will make it happen . . . if somewhat slowly. 

CACHE!!! CACHE!!! CACHE!!!

Dwayne and Nazario go to Anime-Con

I actually don't watch a lot of anime but I think the generalized complain Dwayne has here somewhat sinks up to my own. My initial impression of Anime was that it was always unique, creative, and driven by powerful narratives, but that is because the first anime I have saw were things like Hayao Miyazaki and Akira and what-not. ...

Bria being bad

My half of a trade with the artist Reinbach. I think I declared some months ago that I wouldn't do anymore trades, but I actually really like his style and asked him if he wanted to trade. I've been really digging his comic about a crazy slut named Casey. You can check him out on Hentai Foudry and support him here, 2015-07-09 07:35:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Briar's Broomstick

Holy shit these comic pages take forever. I'm happy with the way it came out, but shit. 

Another appearance of Rastaba, this time with Briar and Key, who I haven't used in a while, so I'm happy that they get to make an small comeback. 

The Real Cowgirl Cadence

Funny story. Well, long story. You might remember a picture I did of my OC Cadence as a sexy cowgirl a while ago. That came from a client who asked me "will you do Cadence as a sexy cowgirl?" I said "no problem" and did it, not realizing that they were talking NOT about my character Cadence but THEIR character also named Cadence...

Monica and Diva

A couple more characters that should have been done last week. 

Alright, I hope everyone had a fun 4th (those of you in countries that celebrate it). I had fun but it was a big three day distraction. I'm back on track now and I need to pump out some stuff. 

I am going to be posting my cach...

Tommi, the Trap Princess

Weird. I've tried posting this like three times and each time failed. Anyways, I'm feeling sick and I rushed the coloring of the comic. Life is about moving forward though, and I'm pressed for time.

Cameltaur

Well this commission called for a camel-centaur who had a strong Indiana Jones vibe. Originality achieved! This has the distinct distinction of being the first picture fully drawn on my new graphics table. I think it came out just as well as it would have on my old one, but I have to saw I have some small nit-picks about my new ...

Valeera and Tyrande

Well good news, bad news. Good news, my new graphics tablet came yesterday, and I'm back in action, as you can see above. Bad news, it feels very awkward to me since it's new. The tip doesn't slide like the last one did, and this one has buttons up along the top, which is where I unconsciously put my wrist a lot.
