May 2017 Rule 34 Poll!

Revamped the way monthly pinups done for Patreon work! Check the tiers info for full details. But basically, we're gonna put it to a vote to see which character gets drawn based on choices made by higher tiered patrons. This month, the prompts that were chosen were Donkey Kong (my choice), Final Fantasy, and Digimon. Please vote on the character you'd like to see rule 34 of from me below!

I'll be working on the pinup during Art n' Chill streams.

PLEASE ONLY VOTE ONCE! I know you ...

Test poll! Please make an arbitrary choice!

I want to see how this thing works. It kinda relates to how I'm redoing monthly character suggestions for pinups and stuff. Everyone please make some votes so I can see if I can see who voted, and for what. :) Thanks!

Reminder and last post for a couple weeks.

 
As I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago, this last leg of April will be dry for me as far as art goes.

Today's the day we make our journey to see family and do the funeral for our matriarch. We'll be gone for a few days, then when we come back it's right back to packing, then moving. We've already been doing it steadily as the month dragged on, bit by bit. Gotta be out by the end of April, though.

Since we're moving out of state we have a LOT of work to do, so I have no time t...

Character Design: Rodrigo

I don't even know what kind of bird this guy is. Friend of mine just sent me a picture of a bird and this is what I sneezed out. I really like how he came out! I hope you all enjoy. :) The fandom needs more sexy birds!

Roommates Arc 3 Part 3: Page 02 (WIP3)

Here's the lineart progress from today! I have a lot going on in my life right now (funeral from death in the family, arrangement and visits because of it, and also having to move by the end of the month). Because of this, as stated before a couple weeks ago, there will be a lot less art updates this month compared to most months. Thanks a lot for your understanding.

But, hope you all continue to enjoy updates when they come! Thanks for the support, as always.

Roommates Arc 3 Part 3: Page 02 (WIP2)

I spent a good bit of time today refining the base sketch and getting it ready for clean lineart. Also a good chunk was spent doing the dialogue and placing it permanently on the page. I'm gonna start putting the dialogue on pages before finalizing lines or colors, instead of doing it as the very last step like I usually do. I've found that I try to fit too much dialogue onto pages sometimes, which makes me run out of room to fit it all.

However, I'm giving you guys the dialogue WIP...

Geogreymon Ready to Fight!

Anthro Geogreymon

He's beginning his charge into battle!

Thought it'd be fun to give him a jockstrap using his hand-belts' motif. :P I had a lot of fun with this one!

Done during today's Art n' Chill stream for patrons!

Jaime the Oryx

I got to try my hand at BGN's Jaime! O R Y X B O Y S

Double the Kass, Double the Fun (For One)

Lord Kass is not happy about this new Kass coming and stealing the thunder. Looks like he did something about that. But he's still willing to share.

Done during today's Art n' Chill stream for patrons!

Roommates Arc 3: Part 3 - Page 02 (WIP1)

Here's the sketch from today's Roommates stream on Picarto. I was having a blast talking to everyone in the stream chat today, so I didn't get as much done as I would have liked, but it's coming along so far. :) Next week I should be able to finish up the sketch and begin inks.

Thanks, all!

Roommates Arc 3: Part 3 - Page 01 (Full)

Every pledging patron will get the full size of Roommates pages from now on. :) Declaring it so! 4000 pixels tall, baby~  (EDIT: 1969 pixels max allowed on Patreon, sorry! >///< ) 

I'll be posting the web-sized version on FA tomorrow before I start streaming again. I'll be starting a new page so tune in if you can! https://picarto.tv/spelunkersal  @ 1pm PST

April updates and news for patrons

Hey, everyone. I have a of news to give that will affect my output of artwork for April.

I am sad to say that Dreamous (my husband) and I have suffered a loss in the family. His grandmother passed away just a few days ago after suffering a stroke. Both he and I have been dealing with a lot with family, and also I'm trying to keep up work during all this too. We are in mourning but doing fine, but thanks in advance for any condolences.

That being said, since this happened so suddenly it ...

Maraikoh wants to wrassle

This is Maraikoh from like 2 episodes of Dragonball Z. He's super obscure for the series as a whole, but man is he hot. XD I just wanted to give him a go!

Drew this during the Art n' Chill stream for patrons last week. Sorry I'm late on sharing this! I've been really busy. 

Roommates Arc 3 Part 3, Page 01 (WIP4)

Here's the updated WIP for the current page from today's stream session. Sorry I had to stop early, everyone. I'm dealing with some personal stuff in addition to feeling ill. But thank you for the support! Next Roommates stream is the 30th, assuming something important I may have to attend soon isn't around then.

Thanks~

Roommates - Arc 3 Part 3: Page 01 (WIP3)

Here's the next WIP of the current Roommates WIP. Lots of line mileage on this page thanks to the Howlr panel especially. Thanks for your patience, guys!

Dadbold

Just wanted to share this new kobold design with you guys here first before I put it up on my galleries in a few days. Really proud of how this guy came out! I LOVE kobolds. And drawing a chunkier one was a nice change of pace. :)

Roommates Comic Arc 3 Part 3 Page 01: WIP sketch 2

I decided I'm gonna start saving out full size versions of each page WIP for you all who are supporting me too. Buuuuuut, I dunno if Patreon will resize it automatically. I guess we'll see. XD

If it works like I hope it will, please enjoy the first full size version of a Roommates sketched page! Next Roommates day stream will be on Thursday March 16th!

EDIT: right-click the image and "Open Image in New Tab" to see the full size!

Question! Roommates pages flat vs. shaded?

Hey, everyone! Wanted to ask you guys first before anyone else what your opinions would be about the Roommates comic pages.

So, since the beginning of Arc 3 part 1 I have stuck to a cel-shading style for the main comic, which then slowly turned into a soft cel-shaded style over time. Now that Arc 3 Part 2 is done, I'm kind of considering reverting back to my old way of doing comics with just flat color with simple gradients to add slight depth.

Since Arc 3 as a whole is technically still...

Kass Needs Assistance

It's been a while... Help him out. Looks like he needs the touch of another, however you can offer it. :3

This is the (in)famous Kass that many artists have gone crazy over recently since those screenshots came out several months ago for Breath of the Wild. Did this during the Art n' Chill stream today.

Lynel LOVES Fighting

Like I mean, REALLY loves it. Just look at that thing!

This is a sketch of a Lynel, an enemy from Breath of the Wild. DId this during the Art n' Chill stream today. This is an intense upgrade on how they look from their original looks in both Zelda 1 and Link to the Past. They are serious beefcake hunks now. X3

Roommates Comic Arc 3 Part 3: Page 01- Panel 01 sketch

I thought it would be fun to give you guys a closeup of the Howlr panel sketch. Makin' cameos are Sparkx (veem0n on FA, one of the biggest supporters to me personally) and my bro Palmedo (also FA).

In addition to Mondo with the tag "Gentle Giant", Nikko (CaptainNikko, our recent addition to the Roommates crew) with "Bring ice & rope", Marcus McCloud (from Tre's inclusion of him near the end of These Are My Reflections), Big the Cat, LeBlanc the moogle, a generic Lombax, and.... the Dracomo...

Roommates Comic Arc 3 Part 3: Page 01 WIP1

I'm gonna start uploading every WIP here too. I've always just updated the file on my Sofurry page, which is just one submission that get's overwritten, but now Patreon will let you see every WIP page separately as long as you're pledging!

Anyway, here's the sketch progress from today's Roommates stream (see schedule here: http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q ). I actually ended up spending a good bit of time on the Howlr panel sketch. It was just t...

Slight change in naming convention for rewards

Just letting you all know that because of my recent change to pay upfront method for Patreon, I just changed my naming convention for the packs I send out via email.

For those of you who've been supporting for several months already, you'll probably wonder what happened to the February 2017 pack. Well, the one I just sent out moments ago is technically that, just using the new naming convention to include the current month, rather than the previous month. So... no worries, you haven't missed a...

Officially over at Picarto now

Hey, all. I went ahead and bought a premium subscription with Picarto and set it all up. For the foreseeable future, Roommates and patron-only streams will be streamed on  https://picarto.tv/spelunkersal  

If you follow my streams and don't already have one, please make an account there and follow me over there.

The next stream will be for Roommates comic work this coming Thursday. There is a patron-only st...

Question! Tigerdile or Picarto?

Hey, everyone! I'm asking all you guys, my patrons, what you think of the streaming services of Tigerdile and Picarto? Many, MANY artists use Picarto, and very few use Tigerdile, these days, it seems. (For the few of you who don't know, I stream Roommates-related-work publicy on my tigerdile page based on a schedule which you can see here at any time: http://goo.gl/AjxQ4Q )

So! My question to you guys is, do you prefer Tig...

Slight change made to my Patreon pledges~

Just letting all you lovelies of mine know! I have switched to the "charge up front" method for Patreon. All this means is that any new pledges (whether they have pledged before or not) will be charged on the day of the pledge they make.

If you are already pledging to me, nothing will change! This only affects new or returning (as in they removed pledge and come back at some point) patrons only. Otherwise, everything will remain the same!

All rewards will still be sent out via email arou...

Happy (Late) Birthday, Mewtwo!

It was Mewtwo's birthday recently, according to in-game lore in Red/Blue/Yellow! Looks like the rest of Red's team gave Mewtwo his birthday gift in full. ;)

Check recent posts for the sketch WIP of this. I just did this in the Art n' Chill stream tonight. Sharing it with you all! Thanks for the support!

Dagya!

An Armadimon! I whipped this up in record time. I was just having so much fun with this. X3 Armadimon is one of my top faves of all digimon. <3

WIP of the Week! 02/08/2017

Mewtwo was a birthday boy the other day!I drew this on his actual birthday of February 6th (during the Art and Chill stream for patrons). I just hadn't had much time to to posting this til now. Please enjoy! This will be fully colored before the end of the month, I think. :) I will be coloring this over the next couple Art and Chill patron streams, methinks!

Metalweregarurumon(?)

More or less outfitted Metalgarurumon into an anthro, and now basically looks like a battle-armor outfit for Weregarurumon. Man, Metalweregarurumon would probably one of the longest Digimon names if it were real. :P
