There was a tie between Elizabeth and Chell! So I choose to paint Elizabeth and use Chell for inks - they'll be posted on November 9th and 11th, respectively.
I'm going to be revamping my patreon for next month so no new theme/character polls for now. I should have more details by the end of the week.

Kinda hard to look intimidating when your uniform bursts off!
2015-11-02 12:48:20 +0000 UTC View PostThank you so much for the support this month!
2015-11-01 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostVoting for the current character poll will continue until the end of Sunday - or, more likely, whenever I awake from my exhaustion-induced slumber on Monday morning. I'm going to be away at a convention until then so this is your reminder. Vote here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/character-poll-2-3624382

And now for something completely different, traditional media! These were done with copic markers on bristol.
2015-10-27 11:47:34 +0000 UTC View PostComment here with you vote for which characters will be drawn! First place gets painted, second will be inked, both in the theme of Blueberries & Fruit.
1. Aria (OC)
2. Eva Bell (X-Men)
I opted to turn her into a strawberry, messed with some mid-stage shapes before deciding to go full berry.

Trying out a little bit of color gradients! Before I've usually gone from flesh tone to blue, but this time I wanted to take a step from the blueberry ripening process; they turn purple-pink before they go blue.

Been a while since I've done bursting clothes so they might still be tweaked - it'll be easier to do when I get to painting.
2015-10-24 15:48:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe winning character is Makina, who will be in a painted image posted Nov 2nd. Runner up was Mai, who will be inked and posted Nov 4th.
Next character poll will be this coming Monday and will be all western media characters!

Sorry for the lack of sketch updates recently, I've been too focused on other things. x_x This is a bit old, but I still really like the pose... might have to use it for something else later.

Giant fox girls, the biggest threat to fast food delivery trucks everywhere.
2015-10-20 16:03:06 +0000 UTC View PostComment here with your vote for which character you want to see illustrated! Top pick will be painted and the second will be cel-shaded. Both will be in the theme of Blueberries & Fruit.
1. Mai Shiranui (King of Fighters)
Cute little commission of one of the Monster High girls. She's got a lightning bolt motif going on so I thought that would work for the tears in her dress. Now to figure out how I'm gonna color her triple-toned hair. ;_;
2015-10-17 16:26:02 +0000 UTC View PostStay tuned for the first character poll on Monday!
I've decided that my Patreon will run as it has been for November and switch to sequential art centric in December. More info next month.
2015-10-17 12:25:44 +0000 UTC View Postthe November theme poll ends today, it's currently close between Berries and Ready to Burst! Vote here if you haven't yet: https://www.patreon.com/posts/november-theme-3514703
I think there will be plenty room for some cross over between both themes, no matter which wins. :B
Today's also the last day for $10+ patrons to get character suggestions in for November! Leave them here: 2015-10-16 15:08:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Instead of trying streams, I might just make it all focused on sequential art. Comics and that. 'Cause I think that's really what I want to do, and what it's hard for a single person to afford commission-wise. I went with the patreon-paintings at first because I didn't want to dive into comics right away, but I'm thinking I'm feeling more ready for it now. Comics would probably be less interactive than the current polling system, but some projects might have room for cameos. I'll have to think o...

I've mentioned the color layers I use before, the right side is all those without being set to normal. I have to use Photoshop for coloring because Manga Studio doesn't support it... and I forgot to flatten the layers in PS and got this derpy looking thing.
2015-10-11 11:48:46 +0000 UTC View PostI mentioned this on dA but figured I'd post here too, to see about getting more feedback.
So next month I'm thinking of switching out the inked images for sketch request streams, however, I've heard of these not going well in the past with other artists and I don't want to cause any misgivings for my patrons. The basics I'm thinking of:
1. Streams will be held at a consistent time each week, likely Friday evenings.
2. You will have to attend the stream and prove you are a p...

Tried a different sort of experiment with inks here, by letting the pen do more of its own thing... or as much as possible when you're working on a smooth tablet surface. Results are a little chunkier but a bit more lively, I think? I still got a lot to learn about inking...

What's with RPG characters and belts? I tried to go a bit more detailed with inks but ended up regretting it... caused so many holes when I started filling in colours.

Download the attached PNG image! I've also attached the PSD if anyone wants to take a gander at the layers.
