Some sketches and good news :D
Added 2016-11-11 05:51:48 +0000 UTCSorry for the wait, doing erotic art isn't meshing well with progress on my portfolio. So instead of screwing around in that and wasting time I dedicated some time to exploring new software. Software I can afford to grab thanks to you guys :D.
So firstly the sketches I have on the file. Kuro is a sketch done in Photoshop, where brushes are free form and the promo art for advent of a demon lord is done in photoshop then inked using manga studio. Their pen stabilization algorithms allow me to quickly put down clean lines. I'll be figuring out cel coloring methods tomorrow and getting those commissions done as well.
Next, I've began to learn Maya, as well as refining my techniques in Zbrush. I've always wanted to learn how to model sexy characters and animate them :D. That'll probably take a couple of months to iron out in Maya. As for Zbrush, I've already recieved 3 months of training in it, but I do not have a refined workflow like I do when I paint. It'll take awhile but after I familiarize myself with sculpting I can use Zbrush to quickly add a background or extra characters. This'll speed up commission paint times by alot hopefully.
Finally, thanks to the donations I've received I bought a form 1 3D printer! Learning 3D modeling will allow me to bring my characters into plastic glory as a figurine. As I learn you can damn well expect the quality of the builds to approach professional levels.
I'll be adding new patreon tiers that will get awarded with these figurines. I'll also be adding these figures to existing tiers, with the size of the sculpture based on the amount contributed. I'll also have to create a more streamlined reward system, personalized commissions are great and I enjoy doing them, but they're getting bogged down by the requests.
Not gonna name any names but someone asked for an orgy, and painting such a scene takes a shit ton of time, and really saps my motivation to work on the damn painting. So let's find a way to reward faster, more consistently, and in a way that gives me time to explore new ideas like the ones I mentioned above :D.
Thanks for reading, have a good evening and let me know what you think :D.
TLDR: new inking software, new 3d modeling software, a 3d printer, can sell figurines :D
