January 2022 Bronze Poll

Alright, the aforementioned poll is here.  Options in here include non-winners as far back as August.  I've tried to pick mostly based on merit, what I thought might look good, or be fun to draw, or characters I haven't gotten to draw a lot of.  I included two options that were not requests, but some practice pics I did.  I could have just selected highest placing thumbnails that didn't get drawn, but because of the way the polling works on Patreon (you can see how the pol...

Page 6 sketch is in the bag.  Two pages left.  I've already put together the poll options for this month's poll, collaged them, marked them up for a poll, but I'll wait till after I wake up to put the polls together on here.

January 12th, 2022

Page 6, maybe half done.  Feels like the home stretch now, since pages 7 and 8 are relatively simple.  Looking at time remaining in the month vs amount of work left to do, I think there will be time to do some sketches.  My inclination is still towards taking a selection of the thumbnails from the last few months that did not win, and putting them in a poll, giving those ideas another shot, since I don't think I will have the time for doing thumbnails and then also a poll and s...

Page 5, sketch finished.  Maybe.  I might come back and tweak Kian's face and some hands, but I'm gonna move on to the next pages.

December 31st, 2021

I hope you guys had a good Christmas, and have some plans to enjoy New Years Eve tonight.  Pretty well on the way with the next page of the comic.  I've been thinking I should take January to just focus on the comic - I've been trying to split my time between requests and finishing this, but I think if I just focus on the comic for January I will be able to finish all the sketching, and then I can start producing finished pages for you guys.  Maybe I will still run a poll, coll...

December 25th, 2021

This one just felt like I should go ahead and complete the sketch, even though it technically could've been split into the two trios.  Anyway, Merry Christmas, hope you guys have a good weekend.

Top 3 from the polls here, I actually started on the Zen/Natani/Clovis one before the polls closed since it was pretty clear it was going to win.  Still, trying to get Zen's torso right (or even close to right) was rather difficult and time consuming.  I need to keep working at sticking to the fri/sun/tues update schedule, though it still needs some flexibility - I was trying to finish the Kimber pic late last night, but even working till like 4 AM, there was more to do after I woke...

December 2021 Silver Poll

This is the silver poll for December, where silver patrons can cast their  second vote.  You can click this link to cast your first vote (if you haven't already), and see a full explanation of the poll and options.

December 2021 Bronze Poll

This set of polls is to determine which of  these thumbnails gets drawn out as a full sketch, for future color  polls.  The top 2-4 (depending on what I have time for/how progress is  going on the comic) will be sketched out by the end of the month.  This  poll in particular is for all bronze and silver patrons to put their  votes in.  Silver patrons can put their second vote in ...

December 13th, 2021

Updating a little off schedule, but I also missed a few updates already this month and I'd like to get this posted and get a move on with things.  I'll see about getting the polls up after dinner (or worst case, tomorrow after breakfast).

December 12th, 2021

I still need/want to do a few more thumbnails this month, and I'll try to get those done tonight & tomorrow.  But we're already about halfway through the month, and we've got the holidays coming up and all, so whatever I have done tomorrow is basically what's gonna be done - I have to get the poll going and get back to working on the comic.

Still, I don't imagine you guys will be unhappy with this?  A couple requests got massaged a little to make them work for this pictur...

December 10th, 2021

Next page of the comic, and an idea I'm throwing around.  Kind of the combination of 5 different requests from this month.  Probably a bad idea.  But I'll see if I can make it work.

December 2021 Requests

Continuing as we have been: post your requests below, I'll do a set of thumbnail sketches of 6 or 8 of them, and then we'll run silver and bronze polls to see which get drawn.  We'll have a soft cutoff of the 5th of December - that's when I'll start picking ideas, fleshing them out, etc.  You might sneak some ideas in after, but your best bet is getting in before the cutoff.

The theme this month is... Giftwrapped!  Not necessarily literally, but one chara...

November 30th, 2021

Page 3 sketch complete.  Ish.  See you guys tomorrow with the December requests post.

November 28th, 2021

Hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving.  Tossing around two Christmas-y theme ideas for next month, we haven't done a theme month in a while.  One would be "Kimber's Christmas Party," an excuse to draw Kimber getting pounded by just about anyone and everyone - including your guys' OCs.  I think it could be fun, but, eh, one of the lessons I took away from the Cassia month was it might just be better to do a month of all OC sketches.  I'm not sure how that would work out, bu...

November 21st, 2021

Page 3, coming along.  I'll probably switch gears a bit, sketch at least the first two poll winners and make sure they're done and out of the way, since I'm not entirely sure how Thanksgiving might throw a wrench in my normal art schedule.  I'm vaguely expecting that I'll be cooking all day.

November 20th, 2021

I've got some progress on the comic for y'all, and the results of this month's poll.  The results, from A to H, are 38, 19, 6, 8, 17, 35, 8, and 9 votes.  So this means I'll definitely get that Natani + Keith and the Basitin Couple pics sketched out for you guys, and right now it's looking like maybe, maybe not on the fem Red sketches.  They're pretty simple single char pinups (which is why I sketched two of them), so they're not a huge time commitment to do, but I'd like to ge...

Novemer 2021 Silver Poll

This is the silver poll for November, where silver patrons can cast their  second vote.  You can click this link to cast your first vote (if you haven't already), and see a full explanation of the poll and options.

Novemer 2021 Bronze Poll

Okay, just to reiterate, this set of polls is to determine which of these thumbnails gets drawn out as a full sketch, for future color polls.  The top 2-4 (depending on what I have time for/how progress is going on the comic) will be sketched out by the end of the month.  This poll in particular is for all bronze and silver patrons to put their votes in.  Silver patrons can put their second vote in here<...

November 14th, 2021

Morning folks, got the other thumbnails done last night.  I'll post up some polls later today, when I'm more awake.

November 12th, 2021

Two more thumbnails for this month - I had another one that I worked on, but it kinda fizzled/wasn't working out how I wanted it to.  I'll probably take another crack at it tomorrow, and see about getting an eight sketch in.  That'll be it for the thumbnails for this month, though.

November 9th, 2021

This is just the first set of thumbnails.  I've still got 3 or 4 more I'll try to do.  There were a few opportunities to do characters who I haven't drawn before, or ships that I haven't drawn before, and I thought I'd try to focus on those.  Two people requested something involving Natani giving Keith a little oral attention, so that also made the list.

November 7th, 2021

I've been going through the requests for this month and starting to sort those out.  I got some more work done on the comic, but unfortunately it's a bit of a retread - fixing up the hand in panel 1 and just doing the bodies in panel 6 from scratch/painting them in to get the forms right/better.

October 2nd, 2021

A little bit of new content, mostly just some updated content - tidied up a few more panels on that comic idea I sketched out earlier this month.  Kinda wish I had redone page 4, too, since it's now basically the messiest of the lot, but I think I'm done with it for real and for sure this time.  And a sketch of Seff and Jensca, just more practice from references.

And a reminder, next update is friday, but the requests close thursday-ish, so make sure you get your ideas in. 2021-11-03 02:37:53 +0000 UTC View Post

November 2021 Requests

How we did these in September worked pretty well, I think, so we're going with the same thing again this month - the only change is I may hold off on sketching winners till the end of the month, so I can make sure I'm spending sufficient time on the comic, and then just squeeze the sketches in at the end after I am satisfied with the comic progress.  Or maybe I'll spread them through the month as warmups and a little change of pace in what I'm working on.  Anyway, post your requests...

October 31st, 2021

Ignore the fact that this is slightly late, and just pretend I finished it before midnight my time.  It's, uh... still midnight a couple timezones west of here.

Catch you guys in the morning with a requests post.

October 30th, 2021

Shading still quite WIP, but I got a lot done on Raine and Maren's bodies.  Just basic blocking in on the boys.  And a practice thumbnail of Seff.  As Domo describes it, "She looks like she's done something wrong and she's proud of it."

October 27th, 2021

Time is getting a little short this month.  Hope to still have this done before the end of the month, we'll see how that goes.  Need to do the patterns on their swimsuits, but then it's just shading to do.  Plans for next month... focus hard on the comic.  We'll see about doing sketches, if we do them it'll be how we've done them the past couple months, a few thumbnail sketches, a poll, sketch the winners.  I've been trying to split my time and make sure you guys are ...

October 25th, 2021

My sleep schedule and stream times are a little off, so I'm posting these a little late compared to the schedule I'd like to keep for updates, but inks are done.  Maybe some finessing, line weight tweaking, cleanup, etc to do, I'll see what jumps out at me in the morning, but otherwise ready for color.

October 23rd, 2021

Sketching is done.  Having dinner with my dad tomorrow/this evening (depending on your perspective), before he heads back to the west coast, will get to inking when I get home.

And a quick thumbnail sketch from after I finished working on the Raine and Maren pic for the night.  Some practice with four leggy Ash.
