Clothing Damage Complete (nudity, light nsfw)

Yas was just thinking, "Maybe it's about time I find a change of clothes..."

I tried a little something different with the style here, exaggerating cartoon proportions and stuff. I think people seemed to respond well to that.

A Big Day Off

The people who managed the boardwalk weren't so gauche as to declare that there's a new attraction this weekend. It was her day off, after all. But they certainly weren't discouraging folks from coming to see their town's favorite hero.

Can't go wrong with the classics

A gift for a friend, requesting classic Samus.

Good job making it to the weekend everyone, hope you've all been well and I look forward to see you again next time. Take care and stay cool!

Are we in a pickle?

It can be difficult to know whether or not you're suffering a little memory lapse, or you're in a Protocol 44.

There's a series on youtube made by some independent film makers "There is No Anti Memetics Division" which is pretty neat. It's set in the SCP organization and deals largely with dangerous SCP anomalies that mess with memory. These SCP generally resist people being able to remember them. A very dangerous thing, even in a relatively SAFE environment.

Moment of disaster

Ashley assured herself that she was too old to get too upset about spilling a little ice cream, or at least she tried to.

Billie, additional concept sketches

I'm not TOTALLY satisfied with these. I just wanted to see if I could settle on a color for Billie. But after seeing this take again, I think my original instinct that Billie is blonde feels more right. I'll have to approach her colors again someday. A couple of elements, like the pattern on her "saddle" blanket, could stand to be finalized. Then there's the idea that her centaur body could be partially made from repurposed parts. And, of course, there's figuring out just how Billie fits into...

Rosemary is Hot (light nsfw pinup)

That repair woman better get here soon. I actually need her to fix something this time.

Hey all, I can't say my brain has been working super well, and neither has Rose's in this heat. But I thought I'd make the most of it and draw her being all hot and bothered. Literally, this time!

I hope you guys have been well. Things are stressful and I hope everyone's taking care of themselves too.

Suit Up

Serviceable Uniform Isolation Technologies

I think it's entirely possible that no matter the unvierses I come up with, I'll find some way to make a skin-tight "zero suit" outfit. Giving them a reasonable explanation that's always the tricky part.

Hey everyone, thank you for sticking around and indulging me this week. I really love this universe and would like to work on it some more. So, if you do want to see more of Suzie and Colette from this setting, let me know, okay?...

That's gonna cost ya.

Well, you're just gonna have to sit there a while lookin pretty while I work on this thing, it could be a while. I'd tell ya not to go anywhere, but I'm sure you don't need me saying so.

Colette has always been a little accident-prone, and coming up with a universe where all it takes to fix is some elbow grease and spare parts is... well, it has its appeal.

Now that's buggin me...

I think we can just turn right back around...

I like this universe because it's totally easy for me just to go... "hey, here are some robot centipede monsters that can put our heroines in trouble." And sometimes, you just need a universe where that can happen. I think it's a little like Horizon Zero Dawn in that way, though I don't have a super science reason for why animals have been replaced with robots and stuff (so far). I just think they're neat!

Road Side Assistance

Look, don't worry bout paying us back. Just pay it forward. I think you've got a lot of people waiting on those parts.

I may have mentioned it before, but the way I see "Gunmetal Colette" as a story is that it's about a traveling caravan of mechanics and adventurers who go around helping people in need in the wasteland. It's the kinda idea that I think would be worth exploring in the vast world of post-apocalyptic wasteland stories about people just fending for themselves. I do...

Goin around and buggin' ya

The sound of her motor coming down the gangway meant certain doom (or a stern talking to) for those who changed the thermostat.

Last week, I had it in mind to revisit some of my other worlds, and the Gunmetal Colette stuff is still close to my heart. I like drawing machines! I like drawing Colette. And I like drawing Suzie. Or is it Susie? Sorry, I forget how I spell my own characters sometimes. Much like I forget how some bits of machinery are supposed to look like from panel ...

Little stuck there, Silk? (kinky slight nsfw)

So... we watched Madame Web. That was a mistake. That said it got me in the mood to draw some spider characters. And I think I've never drawn Silk before. Maybe I'll see that I did when I check my tags on this site...

Anyway, I'm sure she knows a way out of this mess. It can't be the first time any of the spider heroes got stuck like this.

Thanks for hangin out this week guys. Hope you had a good one.

Subject Escaped (cw: some violence)

I keep wondering about how... sexy to make this villain. The design is definitely a little sexy, dangerous, and bloody. The blades, latex, and dress fit a comic booky universe and look cool together. But sometimes, the subject matter for SAFE and the SCP-esque universe I've been working on feels more grounded in reality.

I think... I should embrace it. I probably wouldn't have fun drawing the SAFE universe if it didn't have its share of black latex.

Been hitting the gym?

I wanted to experiment a little more with that new agent character, and I focused more on making her bigger and more sturdy. It seemed like there were a few positive responses to this new direction. At the very least, it gives us a little variety in body shapes.

I'm leaning towards calling her Agent Brooke or Agent Rook. Rook is a name I gave a character AGES ago, and I always liked the name. I think it's because I was a Robotech fan as a kid, and Rook just seemed cool. It's also a big-...

Fight

Ya know... I've been meaning to practice more fight scene drawing. I've had worse ideas than just drawing Cass doing some MMA stuff.

I've included one of my anatomy study pages here, too, where you can see how some tracing is utilized to help study a pose. I wouldn't want to use tracing in any paid job or even post on social media. Photo tracing is purely a learning tool for me. But even in studying by tracing, you need to understand the underlying anatomy; otherwise, you could get mixe...

Watchout for the Sun, guys!

If you're like me in North America, we've been kinda baking. (Though this weekend has been pretty rainy) Either way, I hope you guys stay safe and stay hydrated as needed. Take care out there and I'll see you all the rest of July!

Ultra ultra ultra

Just my own take on an Ultrawoman, that I sketched up after watching Ultraman Rising. It's pretty fun! I like the overall aesthetic choices and I think if I continue working on Big Help I can use some more of the alien lines and influences to make Big Help's outfit stand out more. But for now, I hope you like this take.

Hey everyone, thank you so much for having been part of my Patreon for the month of June. It felt like this month went by quicker than most. Maybe it's because I stayed ...

Thanks for the shade!

I'm just thinking about Big Help, probably because I watched Ultraman Rising on Netflix! It's a pretty good flick—heck, it's a great flick even. The story isn't the most unique story on earth, but the animation is wonderful. I have a bit of fan art that I'll post for Friday, but suffice it to say it got me interested in checking out more Ultraman content, as I'm generally a fan of Kaiju stuff anyway.

She's seen things...

I'm working on another character for the SAFE setting but I'm not quite settled on her design yet. There are some things I like, like the obvious bits with the tired eyes. I like the little marks on her face. But I'm not settled on her hair or her build yet. I originally thought about making her bigger and I might head back to that idea. Anyway, I don't know what she looks like yet but I do have some concepts for her as a person.

I'd like someone in the SAFE story that doesn't work for ...

Elden Psu

Here we are, back in the Lands Between.

I don't usually do redraws, but when it came to drawing a new pic for the new Elden Ring DLC of my character, I wanted to take another stab at this composition. I wasn't quite happy with the original sketch, though I liked the overall idea. This new composition is a bit different, more in the middle of the action, and the hands behind are more subtly hidden in the shadows. I think it makes it more of a heroic pic than the last one, which has its p...

A fightin gal

I'm trying to make it a point to study anatomy some more. (I feel like I say that every few months but it's true again) To that end, pushing things more and experimenting and studying and learning should help more and more in future art. At least, that's the plan. And then maybe I can feel comfortable enough trying to make a cool ass entry in a street fighter art contest some year!

Hey everyone, thanks again for sticking around this week. Hope you all have a good weekend!

Pure Gold

Man I love Goldie. I gotta figure out a way to put her into one of the universes I want to work on. I like her, and I like superheroes. But I don't currently have an interest in making a superhero universe. If I can find some way to fit her into the vibe of the SCP universe or something, then maybe I could get away with it. Or maybe, along with a character like Big Help, I could do a kind of cozy superhero thing from time to time...

Anyway, I was out this weekend for a spur-of-the-moment trip to North Carolina and Heroes Convention. I met a lot of cool artists there! Not the least was my friend PunchyNinja, whom I went out to meet and support. It was a heck of a show. I hadn't had that much fun at a con in a while. It was just really nice and creator-focused. It got me interested in tabling again....

A guest and the boss

A couple more expression sheets! Director Fairbanks and Penelope are a couple of my favorite characters and even if I don't actually make this a comic, you can be sure to see them now and then. I consider Penelope as the "first guest" of the SAFE program in that universe. Basically Fairbanks sees Penelope as, ultimately, a normal nerdy teenager and even as an anomalous living being she has earned a chance to be as normal as Fairbanks' powers can provide.
