With this week's post, we're continuing serialization of a 2003-ish commissioned DiD story featuring my iteration of Dirty Pair's Yuri that I've actually considered redoing as an Empowered episode, for reasons that will eventually become obvious.

Yet again, I'm doubling up with this week's set of life drawings from random photoref. (Someday I'll have to downgrade to a single piece per post, but my buffer of these pieces remains reasonably large.) First above is a set from June 2018, while the second set is an example from January 2017, still fairly early on in the effort.
Below, enjoy(?) the higher-res, raw and untweaked grayscale scans as PSD attachments.

Behold, two recent commissions drawn in my 11" X 14" con sketch format—though, obvsly, drawn at home rather than at a convention—with both pieces based on pairs of characters from webcomics.
First up are Annie and Winona from the Slipshine (adult) webcomic Study Break:

Got only a few minutes to slap on some text for this post, so here goes!
Above are a trio of Clip Studio Paint sketch sets based on art requests from the $20 tier; still got a bunch of Party of Two-based suggestions from this tier that I need to get to, but I'll toss those in a future post once I get around to 'em.
Tough slog getting through these sets, as I'm a bit outta practice on iPad CSP sketching at present. (Let us speak not of the absolute disaste...

Got no dang time to write a lengthy post this morning, so here are a bunch of 2000-era con sketches of Dirty Pair's Kei and Yuri. (And, oops, the weird Patreon dialog box noting "Patreon doesn't allow the featuring of seemingly underage characters in the context of adult content" just popped up at the bottom of my screen as I write this. What is your deal, Patreon?)

Wellp, after a post earlier in the week featuring relatively recent con sketches of X-Men's Rogue harvested from my phone's camera roll, I thought I'd go back and dig up some other such illos from my photocopies of Vintage Con Sketches.
Alas, I found only one such pic in my main binder of copies, but perhaps other Rogue pieces might be hiding elsewhere. In the meantime, enjoy some ol...

Yikes! I've been trying to stockpile scheduled Patreon posts ahead of time to try to get ahead a wee bit, but plumb forgot about today's open slot; so, based on a Patron's art request from last month, here are some con sketches of X-Men's Rogue, harvested from my phone's camera roll. (Probably should've sized the pieces down so they're not 800K or more apiece, but didn't.)

A few weeks ago, worked on a few more pages from the otherwise stalled-out Empowered vol.12, as seen above, before other matters drew my attention. A few words about the work stages:
Whoops, didn't notice the lettering glitch in the word "WORLD'S" in Spooky's first word balloon. Will fix that later.

No time to go into detail on any of these, but I should say that the first set above features a Patron's OC and Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo cosplaying "my" version of Dirty Pair. (And, of course, that's the half-orc from Party of Two in the second set, along with a work-in-progress screen cap.)

2020-05-19 14:39:23 +0000 UTC View PostWellp, now that I've cleared out all of the $10 and $20 tier's May art requests, time to get things a-rollin' with you fine folks of the $5 tier! Certainly can't promise I'll do all of 'em (as I'm pretty sure I did with the higher tiers), but I'll do my best to address any that especially catch my fancy.
