2020 November Post 03 - Owlbear Comic Test

I have an idea for an owlbear comic. I think I know roughly what's going to happen in it, but it's probably best to let the idea sit for a little bit and see if I still like it, before I commit. So, I'll just post this 'test' page, which works as a standalone too. In the meantime I'll draw something else that needs drawing.

I was working on something completely different. Then inspiration struck and I did this instead. Have a rainy snek.

2020 October Post 04 - Warning, Stay Out!

Still working to improve composition, lighting, and trying to get the viewer 'in there' so to speak. This one does that, I think.

Couple of sore thumbs I can't really fix, a couple I probably haven't noticed yet but will fix as I spot them.

Edit 1: Tweaked the face a bunch, lowered the light so only part of her face is lit, and adjusted the skin colors a little. Still not happy with the hair, I'll probably redo that again in the future. It's too messy, I need to give her a proper ...

2020 October Post 03 - Dragon's Hoard

The original idea for this image had the wings with a star pattern on them, but given the composition it would have just been clutter.

In my headcanon, dragons aren't greedy per se. But they do sometimes hoard *something*. That can be books, art, or... lego...

I don't know if I'll do another post this month as there are several things I'm thinking about doing, and I'm finding lately I get much more satisfaction out of doing more elaborate pictures that tend to take a while. I want...

Again aiming for more immersive bear butts. I mean pictures.

2020 October Post 01 - Taur Activity

This month, I'm going to try to focus on composition and try to make pictures more immersive. Don't know how many I'll actually be able to do as my wrists are acting up and this pic took me quite a while because of that. But, at least I did another picture of that centaur girl whose name is almost decided upon!

2020 September Post 04 - The Big Slurp

While searching for escaped specimen, researchers from testing facility gamma discovered a nearby lake had dried up in its entirety, with only (dead) rooted plant life remaining. Drill teams have been dispatched to find any underground caverns the water may have escaped to.

2020 September Post 03 - Be the Light

I think when dark becomes stronger, a lot of us want to be a light in the darkness, to be there for people in need and pain.

As much as I want to be, I myself don't really have that ability. But at least I can draw pictures about it, maybe that helps a little.

On a more technical level, with this picture I tried to focus more on expression than on being tidy or drawing things technically 'correct'. So it's a bit messier than usual, but overall I think it's a decent tradeoff.

Nomming all the galaxies.

2020 September Post 01 - Dragon Test Series 35b

The goal here was to try and depict the insane size difference and growth. Mostly, through focussing on the guy's experiences and how weird it would be walking around a megamacro who is still rapidly growing.

2020 August Post 02 - Dragon Test Series 35 or 45

So this is the 45th image I think, but is numbered 35 because the numbering is a hot mess. Not 100% happy with the lighting, this lighting/shading method is perhaps not really suited for it. But, it gets the idea across I think.

edit: tweaked the reflections and shadows around the guy a little, I think the perspective works a little better now.

2020 August Post 01 - Full Demoness

Wanted to try a more belly-centric demoness pic. Maybe I'll do another.

Having some difficulty getting the dark levels right on my main monitor. It looks fine on my tablet, and I'm not sure how I'm going to fix this without letting it become really washed out.

Also I only just now realized the horn placement doesn't match between pics. I'll need to adjust them a little.

2020 July Post 03 - Dragoness and Couch

Spent two weeks on this picture, I think it's the best dragon pic I've done so far. \o/

As a heads-up, I am 100% guaranteed to find major problems with it in the near future, and I will make a ton of edits. When I've made enough edits to justify it, I'll update this post with a notification.

-Altered a ton of things, I think it's an improvement. Also included a slightly edited version of the kissing pic, the red was a little out of control in some places.

2020 July Post 02 - Dragoness Kiss

So, a slightly redesigned Yuki, kissing someone.

I'm aware that that is not how lily pads work. <.<

This image is guaranteed to be edited in the future, but at this point I've stared at it so long I can't improve it anymore, and I don't want to sit on it anymore either.

2020 June Post 03 - Dragon Test 43

Don't think I've ever done a planetary stomp before. Next page will be gravity-assisted planet eating.

A clarification: This is the 43rd pic in the series. However, because I am a dumb, I never properly renamed the series when I did previous in-betweens. Therefore, the numbering is 'technically' up to 33.

2020 June Post 02 - Balloon Snake 08

The new new new '08.

Adding another inbetween. Don't worry, I'll make sure to make them all available properly numbered when the series is done. I think there are a few gaps remaining.

2020 June Post 01 - Dragon Test 42

Heya all.

I'm sorry for the downtime. My pen was broken and it took me forever to get a replacement. In addition to that it's been extremely difficult for me to focus or enjoy anything lately.

To all the new patrons:

Thank you for supporting me! Keep in mind that this is a per-post patreon page. This means you will be billed *per post* I make. (Announcements and polls and such don't count.) You can limit the maximum number of posts you want to support in your settings - you ...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Regarding Recent Events:

For the past while, it’s been very difficult for me to be creative, when the US authorities have been incredibly violent and cruel towards protesters and non-fascist media. (And yes, I’m aware similar things are happening around the world.) 

In addition to making me angry and sad for the victims, it’s been disheartening to see Trump supporters demanding the protesters and reporters be massacred, and cheering every time a journalist loses an eye ...

2020 May Post 05 - Red Demoness 02

Fairly happy with this one.

Though, there's a good chance I will come back and tweak this one at a later date. (Really I always do that with the demoness sequence.)

I also will need to finish up converting the other demoness into matching this series.

Ragnarok aint waiting...

My tablet's pen appears to be dying, and I can't draw anymore until it's fixed. So there may be a hiatus until I get a replacement, or the problem is resolved some other way. I may do some other stuff, like writing the balloon snake store in the mean time.

Also I may come back and edit this when I can draw again.

2020 May Post 02 - Borb

The intent here was to create a bit of a horror feel. But, it turned out pretty hard to make something helpless look scary, so perhaps it turned out more creepy. It looked better in my mind, but hey, at least it's a giant fat borb.

2020 April Post 04 - Xeno Queen 03

So I'm practicing using different brushes and trying to improve my coloring. (Downloaded a ton of free brushes, but eventually I'll try to make my own.)

Originally I wasn't sure I was going to put out any complete pictures during this. But, it turns out having something to work towards is important for keeping me motivated.

So, my first picture of this 'become less crappy at colors and textures' is a xeno queen. Fairly happy with how it turned out, though if in a couple days I loo...

2020 April Post 02 - Imprisoned Snake

The idea here was to add lighting effects to this art style.

I think I should practice doing more realistic human faces, fur, and metal objects to this style. It's slowly approaching a state where I could do a comic or sequence in it, but it's not quite there yet.
