I hope you guys all had a good Christmas. I ended up working on this most of the day yesterday - got it mostly finished, but I spent about an hour today tweaking things and getting it all finalized.

Got the important stuff (Raine's butt) done to my satisfaction. Most everything is coming together, might be able to start slapping some flat color on this tomorrow, have it all done and finished on Christmas or Christmas Eve. Should leave about a week to do the next page, which might be kinda tight. Will see.

Start of page 10. Expecting it to go fairly quick.

Another HD for you guys - but this one open to all patrons. I felt like messing around a bit on my day off this week, so I just fired up a quick stream and started taking requests. These were each about 45 minutes per character to sketch (the Zen & Clovis bit at the bottom was about 1.5-2 hours overall). I spent maybe an hour at the beginning of the next day slapping some color on. Good practice, and good results for the time invested.
Anyway, these were pretty quick and ...

Page 9! Pretty happy with this page overall. One panel I'm not too keen on, but I hope you guys like it.

Lineart is all done, aside from a couple bits of cleanup here and there. I should be able to hammer out all the coloring and shading tomorrow, or at worst case have it run into Saturday a little, so expect the finished page fairly soon.

I've somehow avoided drawing Raine's shorts properly in all three panels where they're supposed to appear. Oh well. This page should be finished up before the weekend. The next page is like a big pinup, only one frame, so I anticipate it going fairly quickly. Should leave plenty of time this month to get a third page in (even accounting for the holidays - I don't have anything special planned).

A little slow, but I've got most of the major panels knocked out. Definitely still going to play with the text a bit, especially around panels 1 and 2.

The aforementioned procrastination I was doing. The friend in question wanted to see the two characters on the right added to this lineup for his birthday, which was last weekend.

I took a little time out this weekend to work on some birthday stuff for a friend. But that was really procrastination. Despite thumbnailing this ahead of time, when I got to it, I just really didn't like the panels and such that I had chosen, and I was pretty stuck on what to do with it. After a lot of thought, I got this together, and I'm reasonably satisfied with it. There's some blank space in panels 2 and 3 that I didn't quite count on - I figured the text I had planned might fill it out...

Alright, November was a really good month. 3 comic pages (I was aiming for 4, but 3 is good), two finished, multi-character illustrations (one was started and mostly finished back in like June, but I still shaded it and painted the background this month), and 9 characters worth of doodles (5 in this image and then 2 2 char doodles that I posted here earlier). Maybe not so much, compared to other artists, but it's some solid output for me, especially compared to what I was doing last year (2 o...

Cutting it a little closer than intended, but I got a bit of a late start this evening. Had to play tech support for family before I could get going on art. Enjoy the comic page, and look for an update tomorrow or Saturday for more info on the upcoming month.

Not done working tonight, but I wanted to drop one more WIP of this and also let you guys know that I'll have the finished page/HD for it tomorrow.

A little warmup doodle from today, some Seff and Luna from Camp Pines. They're probably about 14 here. Hot summer days call for light clothing.

This POV shot is going to be really inaccurate and not what/how Zen would actually be seeing her, but it should be good enough. Hopefully all the muff-loving action on this page will get across that he's been applying himself vigorously for a while, cause the oral portion of this comic will be wrapped up soon. Don't want it to feel like he only gave her two slurps and was done.

Hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving, assuming you're in the US. Or just a good week in general. Though I had thumbnailed this page out already, I wasn't too keen on some of it when I came back around, and I ended up having to do a lot of messing around with things just to try and hammer out something I was happier with. I'm not anticipating being able to fit in a fourth page this month, but I'm pretty certain I'll be able to have this one finished up by the end of the month.

Zen might be trouble, but Raine is delicious.

I've been kinda out of it the last couple days, slept most of the time away. Back in the saddle today, tried to finish this page up but just didn't quite make it. I probably still could "finish it," but with as long as I've worked today, I'd probably make some mistakes that I'd have to fix tomorrow. So rather than push on and still probably need to fix things tomorrow, I'll just hold off and do it properly tomorrow. Really want to make sure the last two panels come out we...

A doodle from a couple days ago, featuring Cassia and male Clovis. This is another one of the possible ideas/pairings for a comic once the Raine x Zen thing is done.

Lineart for 3 of the 4 panels is pretty much done. Still kinda eeeeeh about panel 2. Text is... probably placeholder. I'll think of some other way for him to tease her about her decision to keep her panties on.

Having some difficulty with the next comic page, had to redraw panel 2 a few different ways, still not wholly happy with it. Here's a doodle I did to clear my head a bit, a little of Seff and Ashley. This scenario is one option I'm considering for another comic, once we're done with Raine and Zen.

I planned out the next several pages and got started on page 7.
I can put in some updates that show the planned pages/thumbnail sketches for you guys if you want, but that's obviously going to be super spoilerific. How do you guys feel about that? Is it something you're interested in seeing, or would you prefer to keep each page as more of a surprise?

This page went together pretty nice and easy, though I did end up streaming a bit longer today than I intended. I'll probably take it a little easy tomorrow, streams over 8 hours long tend to take it out of me. I've got the next page thumbnailed out, but I'll probably thumbnail a couple more pages just to make sure I'm always forward-thinking a bit, and then start sketching out the next page.

Page is coming along well, I'll finish up the hair and color it tomorrow. Might finish it completely tomorrow. Will see. Playing around with a few different dialog options for the page. I had originally thought there wouldn't be any dialog at all on this page, just muffdiving, but there might be a place for something.

Next page of Knot Interested, in progress.
The canvas on this one is extra big, cause I wanted to make sure I could get her body right for all those panels on the left. The darker grey background areas will all be cropped out for the final image.

Finished this up last night, which means it was only four days late for Halloween. You guys might get some more Camp Pines content this month - I've got a few other pics left over from this summer that need to be finished. My plan is to focus on doing one comic page each week this month (instead of leaving it all to the end) while taking care of unfinished pics with any time remaining after I finish each week's page. See how that goes.

Well, the votes are in, and I think we have a clear winner.
Today's WIP is a doodle I did earlier this week, of two characters (Sam Potts and Colin) from an unreleased project that Tom has been working on. I can still count the number of humans I've drawn on my fingers, so this was some good practice. Not sure if I'm happy enough with this to try polishing it up beyond this point, but it was fun.
2017-11-04 22:07:41 +0000 UTC View PostA lot of new faces over the last month (that I'm very happy to see!), so I'll try and explain how we do things here. Normally, I will put up two polls (one for $1 and $5 Patrons, and one for $5 Patrons only) with identical options for a set of concept sketches/character options/unfinished sketches/etc, then I'll add the results of the two polls together after they close. This is how the $5 patrons get their two votes in, since Patreon will not yet allow us to define per-level vote nu...

Well, there's not gonna be another page before the end of this month. There was some outside chance I could have made it, if I had all of yesterday, today, and tomorrow to work on it. However, I had jury duty today - unlike the last two times, when I called in it wasn't delayed or canceled again, so I actually had to show up this morning. The good news is that I don't think they can call me in again for the next ~4 years. The bad news is that, with the uncertainty of what my schedule would be...

Well, I'm not going to be able to do another page this month. I'll make a full post on the next update, that's available to all patrons to explain, but even if I wasn't later finishing this one than I wanted, I'm probably getting screwed out of the last couple days of this month, so it wouldn't have mattered anyway. Anyway! Enjoy the HD version.
