Major life update, and how it affects my patrons:

Hey everyone. So, there's been a lot going on with me in the past couple of months. Lots of good, bad and in-between. A fair bit of it will effect my contribution to Patreon rewards during September and October as life events at the moment will harshly impact my ability to work.

The good news is that my husband, Dreamous, has secured a clear career path he's taking during our temporary stay in Phoenix. We are officially moving to North Carolina at the end of September, and we are very excited ...

08-2017 RM Pinup: Santino final

While coloring, after the basic/first-pass of shading phase I went to add more contrast through color correcting methods, and as a result (by accident) my efforts made the overall look more subdued. Decided to roll with it since it fits for him. Here's Santino getting ready for a day at work. He dresses shirt first, I guess!

Thanks for all your patience while I got this out. Was worried I wouldn't make it before the end of the month. Got a lot going on IRL right now. I'll make a post about tha...

08-2017 Rule34 Pinup: Spyro final

Spyro looks really needy. Won't you help him out?

Thanks for all the support, everyone. Hope you enjoy. Sadly I didn't have time to get to Santino tonight during the stream. I'll be working on him next week if I can. Thanks for your patience.

Beach Hut Rut - Final

Finished the commission for one of my patrons, Kramer. Thanks a lot for your patience, man. Really appreciate it.

Pretty happy with the lighting overall. This one took a -fair- bit of effort.

08-2017 Rule34 Pinup: Spyro WIP 3

Made all this progress on Spyro today. Changed the face, and flatted and textured his whole body.

Continuing his colors with shading/lighting tomorrow during the Art n Chill stream for $10+ patrons: http://goo.gl/jqxdL

Roommates Arc 3 Part 3 Page 06 - WIP 2

Roommates Arc 3 Part 3 Page 06 - WIP 1

Got most of the sketched page done today! Just a bit more tomorrow, then refining, then I can start inks tomorrow during the Roommates stream then :)

Beach Hut Rut - Lineart WIP

This is a work in progress for one of my patrons, Kramer! He commissioned this sneaky public fun in the sun, how spicy. :3c Wanted to share with you all it's progress. I'm pretty happy with the linework ^^

08-2017 Rule34 Pinup: Spyro WIP 1 and 2

Spyro won the Rule 34 pinup poll, and here he is!

He's ready and eager. <3 When he gets color there will be a used and not used version :P

Color will be done during next Art n Chill: http://goo.gl/jqxdL

Will adjust and color during next Art n Chill: http://goo.gl/jqxdL

Art n Chill stream delay

Hey, guys. Because of horrible traffic and a surprise extra errand this morning, I'm unfortunately running super late for the patron stream today. I'll be home and getting started as soon as I possibly can. Likely starting around 2pm PST. It'll be the same link as yesterday, but I'll send out messages just like usual when I'm getting started. Thanks for your patience

Geogreymon OC 2

Another take on an anthro Geogreymon (you can see my other take on one in my past posts under the tag rule34 here: https://www.patreon.com/SpelunkerSal/posts?tag=rule34 )

I had so much fun making this pose, the anatomy, and the coloration. Big buff dinos <3

A Compelling Offer ch. 5 art - final (sans title)

Just finished this up today during the Roommates stream. Thanks for hanging out, guys. :) Schedule:  http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q   

This was a really fun one to work on. The composition is the thing I'm most happy with about this piece. This should give a clear idea of what's to come in the coming chapter of A Compelling Offer. TreIII's new chapter of this will go up sometime tomorrow on the Rooommates FA page!

Also, go...

A Compelling Offer ch. 5 art - WIP2

Forgot to post up the lineart of this story art. But here it is! I am overall really happy with my lineart in this one. Posting up the full color version in a sec

Ink progress

Just a quick little screencap of the inks so far from the previous post, real quick. I'm preeeetty happy with my lines on this so far. <3

A Compelling Offer ch. 5 art - WIP1

I'm pretty happy with this compisition. :3 There's gonna be a little spat in the next chapter of A Compelling Offer. Say hello to Olly and Mondo again! Inking will continue next week during a Roommates day~ http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q 

Thanks for hanging out in the Roommates stream today. ^^

Roommates Arc 3: Part 3 - Page 05 (Full)

And here's the final page 5 for ya'll~

I wanted to have a little slapstick humor in there for Gian's reaction. Poor guy will suffer a bruised cheek for trying to leave in too much haste though. X3 He'll be alright though, he's been through much worse.

I also wanted to show Santino with subtle emotion, and I hope that comes across, despite his usual stoic and unemotive self.

Thanks for the support, everyone. Remember to download the full 4000 pixel tall version of this page by click...

07-2017 Rule34 Pinup: Tiger of the Wind - final

Also finished this during the Art n Chill stream for patrons today. Fun hanging out with ya guys today. :) I am pretty happy with this one overall in terms of coloring. I wanted that bloom-y anime look for this one. Tiger looks very soft here and that's what I wanted, so yay~ Hope you all enjoy <3

07-2017 RM Pinup: Sandro - final

Colored this during the Art n Chill stream today for patrons. Thanks to those who showed up to hang! This one I felt sort of lost on because I had a vision in mind, but wasn't sure how to go about it. This is sort of close in color to what I wanted, but I think it needed to be in a painterly style (which I'm way too slow at). >< Learning process, and all that! I hope you all like it, though. ^^;

Roommates Arc 3 Part 3: Page 05 (WIP4)

I wasn't able to finish the page like I wanted to. Had to fix up some sketch lines before inking, and inking took a while. >< But we're close! Next Thursday will be a quick couple hours to finish the page out, then will be a whole new page being sketched out: (schedule: http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q )

Thanks for hanging out with me today in the Picarto stream, everyone. :)

07-2017 RM Pinup: Sandro - WIP2-3

Lineart AND flats were doing for Sandro today, though. I still think I'm gonna try for a darker lit scene with this one, so he'll be mostly in shadow, but here's the flats! It's been a while since I've done a darker scaled painting before, so should be fun to figure out next Tuesday in the next Art n Chill stream. :) Schedule:  http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q 

07-2017 Rule34 Pinup: Tiger of the Wind - WIP2-3

Got a good bit of work done, but didn't quite finish his flats today. (Did finish Sandro's though!) I'll finish up the flats next Tuesday during the Art n Chill stream, and paint both up. :) Schedule:  http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q 

That Dtz Guy

I did a thing for that Dtz guy! I didn't even know that character existed until he cropped up. X3 Of course, I had to go for my usual anthro style, though. ;P I do need to get back into drawing (feral and/or toony) dragons more though.

07-2017 Rule34 Pinup: Tiger of the Wind - WIP1

And here's Tiger from the Art n Chill stream today. This one is more classic pinup-like. He's giving you them eyes... :3

Thanks, everyone! More work on both Tiger and Sandro will be done on the next Art n Chill stream. Schedule: http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q

07-2017 RM Pinup: Sandro - WIP1

Sandro is a stoic, often unemotive man (gee, I wonder where Santino gets it from?). I plan on doing some moody lighting for this when I get to coloring. Thanks to you guys who hung out with me in the Art n Chill stream today. :) Schedule: http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q

Is Sandro the DILF we need or the DILF we deserve? Hmm hmm.

Roommates Arc 3 Part 3: Page 05 (WIP3)

Most of the inks are done. Page should take 1.5 more sessions to finish I think. (schedule: http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q ) Was a really fun day of hanging out and watching GDQ with everyone while I worked on inks. Thanks for hanging out, everyone!

This page had a surprisingly big amount of line mileage on it. More than I thought at first glance. ^^;
