Tassi 08 + Bonus + Yokko 15 Animation

I was ready this year, I saw Halloween approaching and got to work on drawing Magister Tassi.

Also it was time to make the Yokko Animation public, so enjoy that as well! It's a little funny that the poses for these two are fairly similar, but it happens.

Tsukino 01 + Bonus

The next Monster Hunter is getting closer so my interest in drawing a Palico became sufficient enough to draw this.

I'd have struggled with this character before but she has those Braixen legs so I'm well practiced.

Opening for some Commissions!

I'm gonna do some commissions! If that's interesting to you, I made a form that you can fill in:

 ➡ The form ⬅

If you could indicate, probably in the Contact Details that you're a Patron, that would be great. I do offer a discount for y'all.

Also feel free to send me a DM on here if you have any questions. The Form is mostly a formality, but it's useful for organization.

Jazz 01 + Bonus

My duty as a Rule 34 artist was invoked recently. I had to draw this Gecko.

Her name is Jazz and she's from an unreleased game called Heart Electric. I'm not really one for FPS games but I am one for lizards in bodysuits.

Being as this is one of those zeitgeist moments, I'm gonna be posting this one publicly today as well, but all that's going to do is move the public post queue back by one week, and it's not going to affect my Patreon output at all anyway.

Any...

Yokko 15 Animation Preview

Seeing Yokko without her accompanying tentacles is a little unusual, but in a way it's also quite nice!

Of course, they're absolutely there in the animation.

The animation will once again be available to everyone in a few weeks.

September 2024 Animation Poll

Given the results of the previous poll, I have provided a selection of Asura, with a Yordle and Kobold as wildcards. May the best lady win!

Dragon Trainer Tristana 06

It did not go unnoticed that Yordles recieved more votes than Kobolds in the poll.

Frilli 03 + Bonus + Takke & Unshiu 01 3D Bonus

I decided to re-pose Takke and Unshiu and I'm happier with it now, so I included the higher res of that as a bonus here because I was going to post them publicly today anyway.

I'm actually quite happy with the render set-up of these 3D things I make. There's very little I have to do manually at this point, and I more or less can just press "render" and get nice results.

Oh, right, also, Pink Kobold! Enjoy!

Braixen Sketch 04 + Lopunny Sketch 01

I wanted to draw something simpler this week, which meant I managed to actually finish two drawings!

My quest to practice my Lopunny drawings feels like it's paying off. I'm hoping I'll feel confident in drawing her like when I draw Braixen soon. I imagine... Gardevoir is next on the list for practice.

Anyway, I've started up my next Asura animation too. I'm currently animating the broader motion of it.

View Post

Takke & Unshiu 01 3D + Bonus

She's done! Practically at least. Like I should clean up the rig a little but she's ready to go.

This pose feels a bit awkward, but I was sort of hurrying to make something to render for this weekend. I added Unshiu because I have this power now.

The turnaround is a pretty big file for a gif, but I suppose it's not bad considering the pixel count. There's an animated PNG attached if you want a turnaround without the necessary dithering of a GIF.

Zetta 03 + Bonus + Netto 17 Animation

Now seems like a good time to release the Netto Animation, as this is an Asura Post, after all. Enjoy!

I hope the Zetta drawing is also satisfactory. Most of my thought process this week was "I'm going to draw an Asuran Butt".

View Post

Akli 13 + Bonus

Oops I drew Akli again.

I've been making a concerted effort with my 3D Takke model again this week, and she now has a significant amount of her rig made. This is good.

I've upgraded my version of Blender from 3.3 to 4.2 and everything seems stable so far, but I'm somewhat ready to go back to the old version if things don't work out right away, I'd rather actually get some characters animated than spend time trying to figure out what's changed in the software I'm using.

View Post

Tiskka 06 + Bonus

I suppose I can't help myself, I still quite enjoy drawing the Vulpera. It probably helps that they're Fennecs.

Netto 17 Preview

Here's a little one frame peek at the Netto I've been working on. It's my usual type of loop, and I'm pretty happy with how it went.

I'll be releasing the animation more broadly in a.. few weeks I think, and you'll get the high-res version here when when I do!

August 2024 Animation Poll

OK folks, It's time for polls again!

I'm not being too specific for this one, just to give me a bit of room to ease myself back in to the rhythm of things, but I definitely want to vibe check my audience for what they actually want from me.

The actual animation could be in 2D or 3D, really depends on what I have available to me.

When I'm finished, I'll publish a frame of the animation to the Patron Tier as a preview, and then release the whole thing some time after it first ...

Patreon Updates!

First off, I'm exceptionally grateful for all of your support over the years, and I'd be humbled by your continuing support going forward.

OK, so here's the plan.

Timed Exclusivity

I'll be posting my stuff more thoroughly outside of Patreon from now on, but it'll be after a delay. Currently a few weeks, perhaps a few months, I'll see what feels right. This means that my Patrons will see my stuff as it's made, and then it'll trickle out to my public socials at a later date....

View Post

Takke 19 + Bonus

This feels... weird? Like, there's barely any artistic liberty taken here. These exact armour pieces are in the game. I've won. I got what I wanted after 8 long years.

But realistically my work will never be done so long as they haven't added a tanktop for the Asura to wear. I'll reconsider crumbling in to dust when that happens.

As for the Patreon things, I'm thinking I'm going to move to a delay based system, where I post my stuff more openly outside of Patreon, bu...

Midna 07 + Update

It was required of me to draw Midna. I don't make the rules, I just follow them.

Also just a heads up, I'll be making some changes on my Patreon soon, hopefully positive! I want to get back in to animations on the regular, as well as potentially doing voting and the like again. I'm going to be reassessing my tiers with this in mind, though changes to the "Enthusiast" tier will be minimal.

View Post

Frilli 02 + Bonus

I was becoming increasingly anxious about how long it's been since I last drew a Kobold. Anyway, I am now calm again. I'm happy with the aesthetic of this piece.

I'm hoping to once again put out a drawing on Wednesday. I reckon I'm on track enough to get it done. Also I'm thinking an Asura for next Saturday, after all, we were just blessed with swim wear...

Renamon Sketch 01

Managed to find time to draw a Renamon after I got back from my trip! It's certainly fun to draw these coloured sketches, also it's just fun to draw Renamon.

View Post

Sybil 01 + Bonus

I was compelled to draw the goat thing from Pseudoregalia because of a Discord Server event. Not that I really needed that much convincing.

View Post

Braixen Sketch 03

I'm off on another quick holiday until Thursday, but I still wanted to schedule some work for when I'm gone like last time.

Here is a (another) little Braixen!

I have a more usual piece saved for Wednesday, and I might be able to get another sketch of some sort out for next Saturday if I have the time.

Freya Crescent 01 + Bonus

Sorry if the shading is still messy, it'll get better as I practice more.

Drawing Freya is frankly long overdue, but I was a bit nervous about trying.

Also as you can imagine I've been playing Final Fantasy IX again. It's so very good.

May 2024 Commission Batch 02

Two more from my recent batch, this time involving pairs of Asura. OK, one of them is very tenuously "an Asura".

Characters are:

Kwett and Trilka

Carnyxa and Miinkxa

View Post

Boomi 01 + Bonus

This asura has a different line of dialogue if you speak to her as a non-Asura, and that's enough for me.

I've technically drawn this Asura before, many years ago, because a lot of NPCs look the same, but that one was Exiffa.

Braixen 05

I continue to lament that my favourite 'mon is so nuanced and tricky to draw.

February/May 2024 Commission Batch

The last few commissions from the previous batch, and one from the current batch I'm working on.

Characters are:

Ifera

Demala, who belongs to Skrool

Magister Jezza

Akli 12 + Bonus

Oh boy it's time to sweat an Akli drawing again.

I've been trying a different shading technique lately, which is to say I've been shading it more or less the same but with a new brush. This has the effect of making my shading slightly rougher, but in a way I like a lot more. I feel like my rendering has been approaching some sort of "realism", but I would much prefer to have a more stylised shading style. I'll see where I end up I suppose.

Deksa 09

The shading is quite heavy on this one, and I usually pull back a little at this point, but I kinda like how it looks.

Tupradu 08 + Bonus Braixen Sketches

Periodically I work up the courage to draw my Tiger lady. All those markings and stripes are a lot to deal with in one drawing. I feel like it's worth it though.

Aside from that, I actually sketch a ... surprising amount of Braixen on my own time. They're almost always for personal practice, but I wanted to see what they'd look like "rendered" in a quick and easy fashion, so here's two of them as a little extra bonus. Perhaps I'll add more to future posts.

The first Braixen is bas...
