While knots are great, drawing barbs interacting with labia isn't something I've really gotten to do enough of.  Usually it's barbs in an internal, if shown at all.  I think it's fun, and looks pretty hot.  Especially with this much size difference.

Now, what can you expect for next month?  I might make an effort at finishing up one more request from this month's batch (the Flora and Ivy one, probably).  I will post a sketch requests journal on the first of the ...

July 28th, 2021

This idea was most popular by far, though I did end up deviating from the pitch for a different perspective.  Think it still came out decent, though.

Someone asked for no-text versions of the previous sketches, so those are also included in this post.

I think I have mentioned before, that I would make some background mockups on SecondLife (some people who watch my streams will have seen this), 3d models that help me get perspective and stuff correct and speed background work ...

Thought this would be a little easier, that the limited amount of each character shown would make it add up to 'two characters,' but... not really.

July 19th, 2021

Took a little bit to get dialed back in.  Gave Clip Studio and Krita a go, but I just couldn't get along with their tools.  Went back to CS6 just cause it's what I had on hand (and have been using for the last 10+ years).  Got a copy of the latest version of CC the other day, and it still has some quirks and new features I'm figuring out.

Anyway, tallied up your responses to the request concepts and drew what seemed to be the most popular.  Some things cha...

New PC is basically good to go.  I need to install Photoshop - or Krita, or Clip Studio - and get my tablet calibrated, and also move the old PC out to the living room so I actually have room on my desk.  While doing some more file transfers and whatnot today I've been looking over your requests and trying to narrow them down, figure out how I'd approach the top contenders when it comes to actually drawing.  Any favorites among them from you guys?

July 12th, 2021

Minor update on my new computer, got it going last night but I didn't really like the particular build of Windows 10 that was suggested to me.  So I'm going to nuke it and start over, probably not drawing today (unless it's really late and I'm just messing around to get my tablet and Photoshop settings correct).  A lot of my time yesterday was just in transferring data from my old hard drives to a single new and larger drive (like 5 hours just of data copying), so I expect things wi...

July 11th, 2021

HD filesize, but uploaded for all patrons.  The results of my 'quick test.'  The unfortunate results are that the majority of my time is still spent cleaning up my sketches and getting them ready for color and shading.  I suppose this cel shading is passable, and it was faster to do once I kinda settled into it, but I think one of my stronger suits in in the shading I can do.  Anyway, let me know what you think.  Might be part of it is just the age of the program I'm ...

July 2021 Requests

As mentioned, I'd like to still do sketch requests (though not color polls) while I focus on the Makwa & Kian comic.  I think it's about time for another no-theme month, so just hit me with your best ideas.  The usual copypasta is below.

-Max of 2 characters in a request.

-Max of 3 requests per patron.  If you list more than 3, I will ignore anything beyond the first 3 in your post.

-Requests can be clean or NSFW.  If you have any questions about whet...

June 30th, 2021

Ended up choosing this pic of Kimber to use as the cell shading test - though this is by no means representative of what I'm going for (this is just some shading I slapped on at the end of the stream just because), I spent my time doing some touch-ups and getting it ready for being colored.  What tipped me in favor of this one was two things; the first was a chance to take the study I had been doing and apply some of it in practice, redrawing several peens in this pic, and that there was...

June 28th, 2021

Some development on the comic layout.  I think there's still some changes to make, I'm not satisfied with panel 1 of page 5, it'll probably get replaced with a close-up on Kian, maybe sorta hips-upward so the page is balanced with a good view of Makwa and of Kian.  Page 8, , probably going to eliminate some of the kinda wasted space at the bottom with the stove, add a panel up top focusing on the eggs and bacon on the griddle, do my best Ghibli impression.

I thought...

June 22nd, 2021

I rarely get to do these memes that go around, but I put a little time into this one after finishing the Natani and Kat pic.  Just good to get some pose practice in.

Anyway, time to talk about comic time.  The Makwa and Kian comic won last month's poll, but not by a margin that was like a super-blowout or anything.  If it was like 80% of the votes were for the comic, I'd feel very comfortable with just going all in on it.  But it was more like a plurality ...

June 19th, 2021

Well, job done on this one.  Still kinda hrm on speedlines and trying to show motion, but hopefully the ball-swing comes across well.

June 15th, 2021

Well, a lack of WIPs showing finished inks, flats, etc aside, I started shading today, and this should be done fairly soon.

May 31st, 2021

Poll results are in, and you guys still surprise me a lot of the time.  Looks like this summer I'm going to be knuckling down for another comic.  I'm thinking I may try a couple different approaches to things - maybe try sketching the whole comic out, inking it all, flat coloring it all, etc vs going page by page, and maybe trying a different shading technique.

First things first, though, I still owe you guys this picture.  The sketch was pretty tidy in the first place, a...

May 2021 Silver Poll

Here is the poll for Silver patrons to put in their second vote.  See here for an explanation of the poll options and to cast your first vote.

May 2021 Bronze Poll

This month got away from me with some IRL obligations, but it has accidentally resulted in a theme I'd been thinking of running anyway - a second chances poll.  Just by the nature of how we do things here, there's a lot of good sketches and good ideas that never get finished like they deserve, and there were a lot of requests for that this month.  For anyone new, we have two polls: one where Bronze and Silver patrons are allowed to vote, and a second poll where only Silver patrons g...

May 28th, 2021

A second round refinement, which, uh, spoilers, there's gonna be a lot of second-round stuff in this month's poll.  But this one I was happy to get a chance to put some more work into, I was never really satisfied with how Mike looked in this one, it's a challenging perspective for the back, hips, and shoulders.

May 24th, 2021

This was originally requested by two people, but one person changed their list before I actually got started on it.  Still, it was on my mind.  The original sketch (also attached) had a lot of issues.  Some poses were kinda stiff, others very flat, not a lot of depth to some of the sketches.  It was also more of an image series and less of a comic.  None of this is fully sketched out - it'll go on the poll, but if it's voted for it'll be a multi-month project to actua...

May 20th, 2021

As you might've guessed from the last update, I wanted to try something with some really bright backlighting, heavy rim lights and all.  Anyway, on to sketches.

May 14th, 2021

Woof.  Sorry for being quiet, been pretty absorbed the last two weeks with trying to get the garden in now that it's spring and not freezing.  I was hoping I'd have this picture finished before this weekend, but the weekend is pretty much here - I might still be able to get it wrapped up in the next couple evenings, but now I've got a wedding to attend tomorrow afternoon and then more time to spend with visiting family on sunday, before they had back to California.  Make sure y...

May 2021 Requests

I usually try to get his post up on the 1st, but I took an extra day thinking about the theme for this month and going over replies to my last post.  Didn't get quite as much feedback as I had hoped for, but I think doing "Mean Girls May" might be a little complex and limiting, so we'll go with "Makwa May" and make some time for everyone's favorite Diremilf.  For anyone not familiar with her, the image above is her, as drawn by her creator and my partner in crime Domovoi.

The ...

April 25th, 2021

Wanted to just have a little chat with you guys about a few things.  First up, a reminder to vote in this month's polls if you haven't already, they should be closing tomorrow.

Second, a bit of followup to allowing personal character submissions.  From the feedback I got from people in streams and on here and such, it sounds like people really like the opportunity it provides.  But looking at how the polls are turning out, I'm getting the feeling people might p...

April 2021 Silver Options

Here is the poll for Silver patrons to put in their second vote.  See here for an explanation of the poll options and to cast your first vote.

April 2021 Bronze Poll

Well, as much as I would like to do that Cassia/Jensca/Kimber sketch, we've already got six sketches to choose from this month and still a lot of work for me to do before we get there.  So it'll have to wait for another time.  For anyone new, we have two polls: one where Bronze and Silver patrons are allowed to vote, and a second poll where only Silver patrons get to vote.  After the poll is over, the votes are added together and an overall winner determined (in the event of ti...

April 21st, 2021

I couldn't decide between the rest, so I did a Wheel Decide and it came up Fuji Mori, and then did another wheel to see which of the two positions he requested it'd be in.  Not sure if I'll have time to sketch it out nicely, but I'd like to put that Jensca/Kimber/Cassia sketch into the poll.  Maybe it'll just be the concept thumbnail in there, in all its low res and messy glory.  Dunno.  It's 6 AM and I need dinner and possibly sleep.

April 20th, 2021

It's technically the 21st but I'm kinda OCD and I decided on a submission title thing of doing the date and it bothers me to date two things the same day and I'm hoping I will finish a section sketch later and I need the 21st date available for it so don't judge me for titling this the 20th when it's been the 21st for 27 minutes.

Huff.

Hard to figure out who gets lucky, but there were two votes for one person, so he's up first.  Now to figure out who gets the next one.

April 19th, 2021

My birthday was on Friday, and as a treat for myself I picked the sole Kian x Cassia request to draw.  Going to try and do 2 requests with 2 of your guys' OCs, and then maybe if I can squeeze it in I'd like to do the request of Cassia/Kimber/Jensca - but it's already quite late in the month and that's a three character request.

April 16th, 2021

Don't mean to keep you guys in suspense about who's gonna get lucky with Cassia, but I've also been trying to model out some of Cassia's workplace to use as a 3d reference and that's not finished yet.  But I also usually try to do an off-theme sketch or two just for some variety, and this is the off theme sketch for this month.  Happy to finally have a chance to draw Very Vixen Mike.

April 14th, 2021

Still concepting out ideas and exploring options for this month's sketches.  Still a very little bit of time to get your requests in if you haven't already.

April 12th, 2021

Alright, this is wrapped up, on to this month's requests.
