Christmas Wrappin' (Dec. 2020)

Just a little nonsense.  Something about the expression is just a little too earnest, but Emily the Cat Girl is that kind of girl, I think.

A Celebration of Fall Colors (Nov. 2021)

No, I did not draw all the leaves.  I drew about thirty leaves and the magic of object replication managed the rest.  

Not overly happy with this image.  But it's fine, I guess.

Puck as Sexy Monopoly Man (Oct. 2021)

This one was the weirdest option to get lots of votes.  But hey, the patrons chose it so I had to make it a reality.

By the way, despite what you (and I) might remember, Rich Uncle Moneybags does NOT have a monocle and never has.  Mr. Peanut has a monocle and I think all our brains just combined the two.

Sexy Prison Guard and Prisoner (Oct. 2021)

Heather returns just for a little bit of humiliation.  I do like this pic, though.  They both wear their costumes well.  Always fun to draw Heather and Tracee together.  Very different proportions. 

And I still hold (along with Tracee) that 'sexy prisoner' is not really unusual by any current st...

Phoebe as 'Sexy Banana' (Oct. 2021)

The unusual sexy costumes from the previous year came back from the previous year, weirder than ever.  This one doesn't particularly work but it's the thought that counts.

Puck Gymnastics (Sept. 2021)

Okay, so here's the thing about contortionist poses from athletes and circus performers and such: even with reference material, they're hard to draw.  I think it's because such poses stretch the limit of the body's regular movement range, so even when you draw it right, the viewer's eye rejects it.  The eye says, "N...

Phoebe V-ball (Sept. 2021)

A little bit of Olympic-type fun here.  Action poses are not my strong suit but I tried.

Scrapped Bacon (Aug. 2021)

This is the failed first draft of this.  I put in a lot of work into getting the bacon to look right, but in the end I never considered how off-putting the idea of a bacon bikini is.  And yes, this was modelled after that outfit from 'The Fifth Element'.

Travesty.

Phoebe as Bacon (Aug. 2021)

This is my second take on Phoebe as bacon, after trying to actually draw a bacon bikini vaguely inspired by that iconic outfit from 'The Fifth Element'.  It didn't work.  It looked gross.  And I'll post it here, in addition to this one.  

For the record, I drew the original WITH the bacon bikini, so ...
