Mirael Part 2

Look out! #BigTiddyGothBlueberryWitchGirlfriend! I wonder if the dungeon has high enough doorways to get her out of there in time... Oh well. She should have read the fine print.

Anyway, I'm very pleased with this. All the little details on her dress were so fun to play around with. Maybe something I'll incorporate into my style going forward? We'll see!

sPoOoOoKkYyYyUpdate

Howdy friends. The second part for Mirael will be up in a couple of days at most, the end is in sight!

Also, I was thinking for November... A small 3 page comic for Meg from Hercules? I was thinking of doing a 3 page minicomic in the same style as the animation, so the color rendering wouldn't be quite as detailed as usual. It would be closer to that soft shading you see in 90s Disney movies, but if it didn't look good I'd try and go for my usual touch.

How does that sound to you?...

Mirael Part 1

SpOoOoOoOoKkKkYyYyYy big tiddy goth witch, ooOooOoOOoh!

Not sure when part 2 will be up, but it'll be an undershot full body picture with a cute portrait to boot. Poor thing should have studied her runes more at Big Tiddy Goth Witch Academy.

Anyway, enjoy! And watch 10 Cloverfield Lane if you haven't! It's a great little bottle story thriller. See it as blind as you can.

Edit: The punctuation was driving me nuts, I had to fix it. I know that's what you're all here for. Punct...

Just wanted to let y'all see how she's coming along! You might say she's very well developed.

Direction change! No full Inktober this month!

Sorry friends, I was doing the math and I just don't have the time or energy to do the full set of prompts for Inktober this month. But what I may end up doing is taking some of my favorite ideas from my promptlist for this year and just doing some more polished sketches to post alongside my normal color paintings each month. Which brings me to the sexpot you see above.

Mirael is the generic fire witch character from the generic (but nice-to-look-at) gacha game AFK Journey. I've played ...

Inktober preview

This one's "Anticipation" hehehe.

Okay! So I think I'm gonna try and go for Inktober this year. But if I'm feeling like I can't get through the entire list of prompts by the end of the month, I'll make up for it in another way to make sure you get the best bang for your buck! Hopefully it won't come to that though.

And definitely doing Meg from Hercules for November. So many ideas swirling around.

Rogue Part 10 (FINALE) (ANIMATED) (non-HEVC updated)

At long last, poor Rogue is going to ruin that rug for good. I know the animation is nothing fancy, but I hope y'all like it! This was a really fun project work on during a very rough time in my life, and thank you all for the your patience but also the opportunity to make it in the first place. Rogue will return! She's way too fun NOT to draw again. And maybe another X-Gal or two...

PS: I did some compatibility tests with this, but if the file format does not work for you, pleas...

End of month update

Howdy folks. Sorry for the lack of updates. The last part of Rogue will up in a few days, still making sure to get all the animated bits juuuust right. I think it'll be worth the wait. 🫐

There's a chance that I'll just be doing a regular color sequence in October rather than 31 prompts. I just don't know if I have it in me to get it all done in time, and I'm not going to promise something and not deliver. But we'll see. Worst comes to worst and I may just post a few here and there th...

Rogue Part 9

One more after this, and it'll be animated! Don't ask me for a size for her at this point, it's only going to increase after this one. 👀🫐

The next one after this will be animated, and then that's it for Rogue. I have a sneaking suspicion I'll return to her again in the future. She's just too fun not to. ...Maybe other X-Women too... Rogue is the best of course, but there's always Storm, Jean Grey...

...Anyway, enjoy!

Rogue Part 8 (Scheduled)

It's surprisingly hard to write in Gambit's grammar. Also please don't look too hard at him, he's just there for scale. lol The next shots after this are going to get pretty spicy, and they will be done after I've recovered. Should be just 2 shots remaining unless I am struck by more bolts of inspiration. Hopefully in September! I hope you all had a great summer, and thank you for the continued support throughout. Unless WWIII has kicked off after I've scheduled this post, in which case I hop...

Yor "sketch" 2

So I went a little overboard and did more than just a sketch of Yor after um, investing in a cute but every specific outfit for her husband Loid. 😳 I think that's it for now regarding non-inflation stuff. But who knows... Yor might think otherwise, and I have follow her lead, don't I?

Enjoy!

Rogue Part 7 (Scheduled)

Poor thing! Very fun to play around with the absolutely tippy top north pole of a blueberry, especially one as expressive as Rogue.

Health update: It has been 51 days since the operation. I have passed through the inner sanctum of the physical body. Pain no longer has any meaning to me, and I am rapidly ascending to the next linear plane. My next report will indicate if I've successfully destroyed the Spider-Man or not in all realities.

Meg is next, gods willing!

I thought it might be 51/49% "yes" for Meg and I almost didn't even ask, I didn't think she was THAT popular. She got 100% of votes, beating Rogue when I asked y'all about her in the spring. I guess we all have good taste!

So yeah, after Rogue and Inktober are done, Meg is absolutely the next character I'm drawing. Barring anything else coming up, I have her slated for November. It'll be here before you know it. Hoping for a 3-page thing with her that will be in my style, but leaning cl...

Update and potential future character

I'll be posting another sketch of Yor in a few days and other WIPs throughout the month, but in the mean time just wanted to give you guys an update. Rogue will be completely done in September for a total of 10 pages of the comic (with the last page definitely having animation), and I thank all of you for sticking with her this long while I've been recovering from this whole summer. I didn't intend for her comic to go on as long as it has, and in the future something this big will be somethin...

Asami Animatics Part 22 (FINAL) (Scheduled)

There we have it! The last and longest of the animatic scenes. I hope you all enjoyed seeing it as much as I enjoyed making it. I don't know the future of my out put looks like after I recover from surgery, but I'd love to actually make this into proper fully colored animation with sound and music and voices at some point. Time will tell. At the very least it was very educational on how to set a scene and edit together different images to make the story really work. Thanks to ev...

Rogue Part 6 (Scheduled)

The first of a few glory shots of our dear Rogue, finally having maaaybe learned her lesson about touching juicy little blue fruits with her gloves off. Perhaps the lesson needs to be taught? We'll find out, won't we!

Health update: It has been 30 days since my surgery. I am beginning to be able to see through walls, and my spine has started speaking to me. Something about wanting to kill Peter Parker.

Yor Sketch 1

Just a cute lil something while I'm getting back in the saddle! Is it cringe? You bet. Do I care? Nah. Hopefully I can do a part 2 sometime soon! That'll be... fun. 😈 I have some pretty strong images in my head for that one.

Anyway, enjoy! She sure is.

Rogue Part 5 (Scheduled)

What's a blueberry girl without a lot of zooming in on the details of her misfortune? By now it's been 20 days since the operation and I have no idea what state I'm but I hope it's a good one. I'll be able to get back to my hobby of piano moving and bowling ball juggling soon enough. I hope y'all had a good Fourth of July and watched Jaws like I asked!

Edit to the Edit: To be clear, I'm still focusing on blueberry girls for the monthly pieces, so don't worry about that at all. I just mean sketches and extra bits here and there, maybe the occasional finished piece as an extra.

Asami Animatics Part 21 (Scheduled)

She's gettin' there! This is the second to last animatics sequence for you guys that I've been posting for, holy shit, nearly 2 years now. It's at the point now where there is a longer set of scenes in each of these, with the last file (next month) being the longest by far. Still, you see where all this is going and it's clearly the juiciest one yet. Enjoy!

And have a good Fourth of July if you celebrate! The best time of the year to watch Jaws. Amity, as you know, means friendship.

Update and New Store!

Howdy! Surgery seems to have really been a success. Still need a good amount of time before I can draw again regularly, but I think this was absolutely the right thing to do. I've basically been pain free the past week and a half. (The nasty "this is gonna need surgery" pain at least) Woo! That said, there was a death in the family AND a tree crushed my car in the same storm that knocked my power out for 2 days in the middle of a heat wave all in the same week as my surgery, so I'm glad I cau...

Rogue Part 4 and Update

Sorry I don't have an even bigger Apocalypse standing over her in this one. Going forward I will be scheduling main posts for the 10th and 20th of July and August. I should be back in the saddle by September, but if that's not the case then I'll pause the page until I'm able to post regularly again.

On top of having surgery in 3 days (unless they reschedule it last minute again), there's a very serious health crisis in my family so it's turning out to be REALLY stressful week, guys. (Ed...

Thanks for waiting, everybody! Part 3 should be up relatively early in June. I'll keep y'all posted. It might be my favorite shot in the whole thing, but we'll see.

I know she's a Mississippi gal, but you could fooled me into thinking she was from Georgia. 🍑

Thanks for waiting! I'm trying some new things with the background elements and shading, I hope it shows even if just a tiny bit. While I'm annoyed my surgery got pushed back, it means each page will be as polished as possible by the time you see them. Expect part 2 this week! It's the "...Why am I turning blue?" page, always one of my favorite parts of the whole misadventure. The creeping r...

"Good" news, everyone!

My surgery got pushed back to June 20th (until it inevitably changes again 🙃), and though my plan is still basically the same, it means I can take more time to finish up all the pages of the Rogue comic. Not that I wasn't giving it my all, but now I can make sure nothing at all is rushed. I'm working on completing the first two pieces now, so expect them to be up in a few days.

Progress Update

Hey friends, just wanted to let you know how it's going. I usually try to space out any finished paintings I'm going to post, but in the case of Rogue I'm doing all the work on a schedule. Lineart and flat colors for all of the pages first and then I'll go back and do the rendering and backgrounds and dialogue, etc. So the first two pages of Rogue's misadventure will be posted near the end of the month, when I'll be finishing up all of them, or as m...

Surgery Update/Poll

Okay, so I finally have more information about what my surgery situation is going to look like. Tentatively scheduled for May 30th. I'm gonna be out of commission for a month at the absolute minimum. Like, I'll be in a back brace, unable to drive a car, most likely unable to sit at my computer/iPad desk, etc. When will I be able to draw again? I don't know. Might be the second the back brace comes off, could be 2 months, I have no idea. I've heard from others who have had the same issue/surge...
