WIPs added to the drive

I updated the drive earlier this morning with a few WIPs and sketches I've been working on for the last few days, along with one or two drawings I forgot about. Expect wild fluctuations in quality as I continue to fight and fuck my personal demons for the pleasure of an imaginary internet audience that doesn't even exist.

Yeah, that's right. I'm on to you. What? Did you think you had me convinced you were real? I've known you were hallucinations from the very start. Especially ...

Reminder

If you've joined recently and are having trouble finding the gallery, remember to check your welcome message. If those links don't work or are unavailable for whatever reason, please send me a message and I'll get you set up asap.

I'm still working on new projects! Don't worry, I'm not dead yet. I herniated my back shortly after recovering from covid so I've only been able to draw for short bursts. My sciatic nerve is pretty shot at the moment, so I've been stuck in bed unable to sit co...

Discord

Discord auto-updated and my computer's OS is no longer compatible with it.

I'm having trouble getting the browser version working as well. Just a heads up that if you DM me, I might not respond for a while. I guess this is a good excuse to finally upgrade. 

Sketches / WIPs gallery updated

I've updated the drive with a couple of sketches and WIPs, some more refined than others. Links on the way in a moment.

Tier Restructuring + the Future

Those of you who are on my discord server have already know I've been thinking about quitting art entirely lately, due to a combination of AI related woes that have discouraged me from sharing anything, and deep rooted personal issues no therapist or drug has been able to disentangle. Long story short: I don't enjoy drawing anymore. I've lost the joy. It's become a tiresome, anxious chore devoid of pleasure. An erotic artist that can't engage with their own erotic sensibilities is bound to be...

Sketches and doodles

I've updated the drive with some random warm up sketches, ideas and doodles from last month. Links on the way.

Updates coming soon

Got two pieces that are both nearly done. They'll be up in the week, then it's back to the regular polling schedule for March!

See you soon.

I'm a strugglin'

So as some of you have probably noticed, January's monthly piece still isn't up. Although I did manage to post a small image set for February, I'm disappointed with both the quality and speed at which I'm working lately. 

I've also lost a lot of creative motivation this year. Maybe it's a combination of external pressures (either real or imagined) to perform to a quality standard now that I've monetized this hobby, or some sort of neurotic self-destructive tendency. Plus, you know,...

Random Curiosity Poll

How many of you draw?

Reminder!

If any of you are having troubling getting to the gallery, send me a message here or through discord. Remember to check your welcome message after joining as well!

Gallery Update + Poll results

Adjust-her is the winner of this month's poll, courtesy of you tier 3 folk. I have some (overly ambitious) ideas for what to do with this piece that'll probably be impossible to realize by the end of the month, but any delay will hopefully be worth it. I was going to just draw her facial expressions and details about how the device manipulates the mind, but it would be a waste not to explore the concept in depth. I'm hoping to show how it can switch up her personality during various 'activiti...

WIP polls, sketches and another finished piece are on the way soon!

I'm getting a break from work on Monday! w00t! Wait, is w00t still in? Is that still hip and relevant? It's not cringe yet, is it? Oh God, what if it's cringe?! My reputation as a cutting edge revolutionary artist with a finger on the pulse of modern internet slang is ruined, I'll never be taken seriously again, what will become of my ego, my carefully curated social media identity, etc, etc.

WIP polls, a couple of sketches and a finished piece will go up that week. See you soon.

Gallery Archive updated

After some delay, December's WIP is now finished and up on the gallery drives. Links will go out in a moment. Enjoy!

December's piece will be up in early January.

The voted for piece (along with other things I didn't manage to get posted in December,) will be up in sometime in the first week of January. Aside from work and other issues getting in the way of my schedule, I also ended up making the drawing a little more complicated than I thought it would be (typical.)

See you guys soon.

Slow month.

Sorry about the lack of updates and communication from me this month. I have my usual handful of warm up sketches and lil' bits to share a little later on, but my 'real job' has been occupying most of my time. I'm also struggling with personal issues.

I'm aiming to post two finished works by the end of December, or within the first week of January at the latest. If things go belly up and I can't complete any pieces this month, I'll issue refunds wherever possible.

Gallery Update!

I've added "Inspection" to the main gallery, a hucow themed miniset and winner of November's WIP continuation poll.

Links are on the way in a moment. Enjoy.

Minor update

I've updated the galleries with a few new messy sketches and WIPs. Links on the way in a moment.

Small gallery update

I've updated the sketch and WIP gallery drive with some more warmup sketches, cutting room floor material and lil' bits. Links on the way in a moment.

Gallery Update + Info

I’ve added a new miniset to the gallery archives. Updated links are on the way in a moment. Enjoy!

I decided to include my original PSD file for those of you who want to experiment around with the layers and variants. I might do this kind of thing more in the future if there’s a demand for it. My layers tend to be disorganized, so for those of you are used to seeing well structured layer hierarchies that make sense... prepare yourself. Unlike most other artists, I tend to keep all m...

Quality Feedback Poll and Suggestions

I'm going to make one of these every couple of months to get a feel for things. What are you happy with, what are you not happy with? How is my performance in general? Is there anything you'd like me to change or focus on? Feel free to leave me a comment! I'd love to hear your feedback.

Gallery Update! Happy Halloween!

This one is a little goofier and lighthearted than my usual lot. I’ve had a rough month. Felt like a little brevity couldn’t hurt every now and again. ;) 

Links on the way in a moment. Thank you! As always, I have some new WIPs, sketches and one new finished piece that will be posted early in November once I refine them a little more. See you then.

Gallery updates + Poll results for October.

Experiment is the winner of this month's continuation poll (taking into account votes across all platforms.) It's an older one, but still full of potential (and it'll probably perturb the psyches of a few unsuspecting DA users, so that's always a plus. I mean, no, that would be terrible. Just terrible.)

In the meantime, I've updated the gallery drives for all tiers with a simple completed piece with minor variations and no particular order, called "Hysterical." Tiers 2-3 also now have a...

Gallery Update - Happy (early) Halloween!

I've updated the gallery drives with a simple piece to start out the month. I'm not participating in kinktober this year (maybe next time,) but I figured I could at least draw *something* to honor the spirit of the month. My neighbors have started setting up decorations already, so hey, I might as well get in on the action early, too.

Those of you with a fascination for spiders, webs and long greasy appendages moving suggestively will hopefully find it stimulating. I'll post it up on my...

Gallery Update!

September's somewhat late piece (Prisoner) is now up on the the gallery drives!

I've got to meet up with family here in a second, so I'm going to have to rush this post. Check out your welcome message links for access to the drive. I'll send out more direct links in a few hours, the text version is there currently. Enjoy. Sorry again about the delay!

Info Update + Future Plans

Hey folks. Just letting you know that I'm running a little behind schedule this month. I'll post Prisoner (the winner of the vote) in early October, along with September's warm up sketches and WIPs (more on that below.) I'm aiming for the 2nd at the latest.

For those not in the loop, I mentioned on discord earlier in the month that my dog had a surgery to remove a wart, and it backfired spectacularly. She was in the ICU with a life threatening infection for a week, plus an additional ...

Gallery update!

I've updated the gallery with a short image set to start off the month. It's called "Fixation." Links are on the way in a moment.

Gallery update!

Girlstock is now up, as is some client work I did for HKR06 over on DA (and pixiv.) I'll send out links in a moment. Enjoy! (Or don't. I mean, no one's forcing you to enjoy what I draw. Yet.)

Poll results + ten new sketches added to the gallery archives.

You guys voted and (taking subscribestar's votes into account as well,) it looks like this month's 'big piece' will be Girlstock! Been looking forward to completing this one for a while. It won't be a big image set by any means, but it should momentarily cure your neurosis via direct stimulation of the medial orbitofrontal cortex. This is one of my family's many ancient martial arts techniques, handed down from hobo to hobo for generations. My great grandfather, BenightedHobo, even used this ...

Info for August 2022

It's looking like operations will resume as normal. For this month, I'm going to post up a WIP continuation poll in the first week, followed by the usual assortment of sketch work and lil' bits for tiers 2 and 3, plus an ideas survey. I'll let you know when the archives are updated and keep you all informed. 

Let me know if you have any questions or having trouble accessing your gallery. Thank you again for being here!

Also, I'd like to encourage those of you haven't yet join...
