Roughs-only story PARTY OF TWO: "He Loves Me?" pt.2

Behold, the concluding half of a Party of Two 12-page story conveyed via sketchy roughs; the first half can be seen here.

A few words on the pages (assuming I find the time to add some text):

Panel 1 above indicates an interestingly uneven battleground the combatants are standing on, though this fact soon becomes less clear in the action scene that follows.

DISTRESSED DAMSELS: 2002 Shasti teaches joint locks, plus 2020 sketch set

Very much short on time this mornin'—posting every g-d weekday on Patreon can be a grind, folks—so here's a hasty post with a bunch of 2002 con sketches, recently scanned  from photocopies. No bondage involved as such, but plenty of distress is involved as we see images from a class where Shasti is teaching martial arts joint locks to Kei and Yuri from my version of the Dirty Pair—though they're all wearing the classic chrome outfits designed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko in his i...

EMPOWERED AND THE GIANT-SIZE ISSUES #2 thumbnails & script, pt.2

(You can check out the previous part of this serialization here.)  

Wellp, we're continuing serialization of my page roughs and scripts for Empowered and the Giant-Size Issues, a never-published, two-issue miniseries intended to be drawn by a Special Guest Artist. 

As mentioned previously, I wrote the two-parter back in 2015 with the excelle...

Life drawings from photoreference: high-res scans #58

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 July 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.

Another PARTY OF TWO update!

Behold, s'more material from Party of Two, the fantasy RPG romantic/ sex comedy I'm developing in my spare time.

First up is a somewhat random idea I had early in the week for a quick sketch set that instead turned into an unexpectedly grueling and time-consuming art ordeal:

See, back in my "life drawing every day" era of a few years ago, I used to do dance-based sets featuring m...

Work stages on a POISON IVY & HARLEY QUINN charity piece!

Above is a Harley & Ivy piece I drew in my limited-color, 11" X 14" con sketch format to benefit the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (BINC) charity, which supports small booksellers in need—including, notably, comic-book retailers. The commission netted a handsome $475 to BINC, I'm pleased to report.

DISTRESSED DAMSELS: "When Pint-Size(d) Ninjas Attack," part 5!

THE END, more or less!

Behold, the fifth and final installment of a fairly lengthy and extremely goofy commissioned story from the early 2000s, featuring a suspiciously bondage-prone—yet still plucky and defiant!—iteration of Dirty Pair's Kei and Yuri unsuccessfully battling "the Pint-Size(d) Ninja Platoon."

PARTY OF TWO, THE ORIGIN: An 18-page story in thumbnail form!

Behold, kindly Patrons, a Party of Two story in wee, quad-thumbnail-rough form, which tells the kinda-sorta "origin story" of how the half-orc cleric and dwarf barbarian first went from being just platonic fellow adventurers to becoming incessantly boinking "adventurers with benefits."

DIRTY PAIR: QUICK & DIRTY, part 9 (a 2003 layout-page-only story)!

My reasons for creating this story—and for drawing it in this rather odd, proto-Empowered "tight layout page" format—now seem hazy and unclear to me. At a time when my (ahe...

April art requests for the $5 tier!

Wellp, as we head into the last days of April, I'd best get belatedly crackin' on the next cycle of art requests for you fine folks of the $5 tier! Been a hellishly busy and real-world-complicated month, so I'm not sure how many of your suggestions I'll be able to cover in the next few days, but I'll try my best in my (largely nonexistent) free time. 

Note that I'll likely be popping 'em into the "six fan arts hashtag" format, because why the heck not?

As before, the focus fo...

DISTRESSED DAMSELS: $20-tier art requests, HUSHED HALF-ELF & more!

Before continuing serialization of the Pint-Size(d) Ninja Platoon (ahem) "story," thought I'd post a random grab-bag of recent damsel-in-distress commissioned(-ish) sketchery that's been piling up of late.

First up is a Clip Studio Paint sketch set based on April art requests from the Big Spenders of the $20 tier. Note that, for an artist who can't draw resemblances worth a crap, trying to depict Rey in bondage without any of her familiar costumes is pretty much impossible; so, I just d...
