Porngotten Realms [WIP]

Included in the extras: the full timelapse video that shows both the original version and the repaint, plus the original working files and thumbnails.

Due to the massive size of the workfile (this is A3 poster size), i had to split the attachment in 3 files: one is the uncompressed timelapse, one is the split archive with the work file.

To extract the latter: right click and select 7-zip -> Extract files, on the .001 file.

Porngotten Realms

This piece was commissioned by Kiru and Enadir, it took a very long time because i wasn't happy with it and decided to repaint it from scratch when it was almost done. 

Perfectionism and summer are a bad combo for respecting delivery times...

In attachment full res version and 3 alternate versions.

No charging for July!

Hello! I hope you're having a happy summer :)

I've decided to move all uploads from July to August to avoid having 2 months with half content due to vacation and the pre-production on the comic. So there won't be any charging for July.

The hunter [WIP]

Included: full timelapse, sketches, thumbnails and the original work file.

The hunter

I'm going to temporarily keep private this commission on request. 

This portrait of an orc is inspired by an iconic painting of Garrosh Hellscream from World of Warcraft. I tried to give a bit of a different feeling, less grandiose an more in line with a hunter/gatherer feel. And oh! I guess I can draw orcs :)

Full resolution (actually double than my usual work resolution) in attachment.

Forest Dragon [WIP]

Included in the attachment, sketches, thumbnails, original file and the full timelapse recording.

Forest dragon

This piece was commissioned by Bulph and portrays his forest dragon character in his natural environment. I tried to work on this piece more from the point of view of a fantasy painter than my classical furry art mindset, the character is very unusual so I gave this whole piece a slight monster vibe.

Full resolution version in attachment.

Moonlight Ritual [WIP]

In attachment: Original working file, step by step process video, wips and thumbnails.

Later this month I'm going to post the brush pack I'm using to learn to paint with more textured brushes. While this pack was originally free (and the original link will be posted), I took some time to organize it and make it actually useable instead of being a huge pile of brushes (categorize the brushes, convert them to clip, remove dupes, and mark them for the correct use).

Moonlight Ritual

A commission from Larx and Kyru/Reaver.

For this commission I sterted experimenting more intensely with textured brushes to discover more effects, in particular I'm very fond or Larx's Arcanine character mane.

Hard Work [WIP]

I worked and reworked so much on this piece I could not save a proper step by step video, so the extras will be the usual WIPs, plus one extra file which was a failed attempt to try to merge realistic shading with sharper shapes in black and white. I had a few of those false starts with this piece.

Hard work

This is a commissioned piece by ChemDragon 

I took a damn long time working on this because I tried to expand a bit what I do with full detailed painted commission, especially in terms of texturing and composition.

Sketch Streams 01 and 02 [WIPs]

It's hard to have intermediary files while working on art while streaming, but I managed to record the work on all 6 of them for your enjoyment. The original work files are also included for session 2: if you're curious about how hard light layers work, I suggest checking out these files.

Sketch Commission 02

[This description follows the one for the Sketch Commission 01]

Once i settled on the style for the comic (fully inked and shaded with hard light layers), I did a series of studies to focus on problems to be fixed while working like this: a long study of anatomy to focus on getting the shapes right with few brushstrokes, and a review of my inking style to create a more interesting look.

Those 3 commissions are the end result of those studies: you may notice a completely new way of...

Sketch stream 01

While working on the preparatory work for the upcoming comic project, I noticed I didn't have a definite style set for it. I've roughly decided to go with color, but had no idea which style to use, if painted, simply shaded, inked or sketched. On top of this I had a sudden economic emergency in the form of BEES INVADING MY BEDROOM for 4 days, that required immediate intervention. So, combining the two needs, I decided to offer those two waves of sketch streams to check which style was viable ...

All The Gay [WIP]

This image is such an explosion of colors it was really challenging to handle, and from the timelapse you can definitely see a midpoint where i got "f**k it" and begin hand re-painting the characters to finally get the perfect shapes.

For this image i decided to so something subversive and produce only one thumbnail. In reality i did 3 of them, but found the other 2 so lacking in drama e decided to just show one with an early tone-study on it.

Wips, Original files and Timelapse in...

All The Gay

Commission for Summon based on the climax (teh heh) of his story Unlicensed Space Jocks in which... gay happens, lots of it, ALL OF IT.

Now we'll have to wait for an evil corporation to copyright claim this image and make Unlicensed Space Jocks a canonical part of their family friendly videogame franchise.

It's a fox, it's a bat! [WIP]

As a bit of an extra-extra I finally got around learning how to use the timelapse function from Clip studio, meaning that from this commission onward a timelapse will be routinely added to the extras :)

WIPs, Thumbnails, Timelapse, and original workfiles in the extras.

It's a fox, it's a bat!

This commission from Kaszronda came after we discussed about how bat wings are often misplaced in furry art. I ended up accepting drawing his characters with my version, after his idea of having a nude cosplay of Zorro (zorro being fox in Spanish, and his character being based on grey fox bats).

Wait a second? Naked and in a costume? I ended up solving the puzzle making the character hit by a strong portrait light and mostly black... so the observer can both see him nude and dressed as ...

Rise and Shine WIP

This is the second, and last, painting I do with a hyper variant (which is still visible in the original clip file for those curious).

WIPs, Thumbnails, and original workfile are available in the extras.

Rise and shine

Commissioned piece for Bayzan

I decided to go back into studying realistic lighting from references for this one, because I wanted to believably capture morning light.

Printable full resolution version attached.

Commission preorders for May/June

I'm opening commissions for the second half of April, going forward. 

As usual, here's a preview link for top tier patrons with unlimited open slots.

Sweet Dreams [WIP]

Original working files and wips included.

Fun fact: I forgot to add hyper sizes in my do not draw list. This commission round I received a hyper request for the first time... two of them in fact! I thought to be good sport about this and offer to do hyper versions as (almost free) variants. Those two will likely be the only two hyper pics I will ever draw, and I hid those two versions as layers in the clip files ;)

Tiny Enemy Crab [WIP]

In attachment Wips and the original working file.

Tiny Enemy Crab [plus variant]

Commission for Bastioner.

I'm surprised how popular getting variants has become! Not a bad trend but it truly makes scheduling uploads harder :P

This commission also sees the return of my more detailed fur shading technique, which I temporarily abandoned to pursue better readability.

Full resolution in attachment for the original and the variant versions.

Sweet dreams

Commission for Aolun posted as a preview plus a variant version.

Full resolution versions of both variants in attachment.

[OLD] Cestus Tiger

This old painting is still one of the favorites of mine, I was asked by a patron to get a high-resolution version so here it is for you all (though, sadly, not in a lossless format).

Originally I thought I had lost the files during a flood that damaged my hardware, but luckily I still had a full resolution backup in a long forgotten folder.

Commission for Chuck [WIP]

For this commission I was asked to do 2 different sets of underwear, however once I changed it I noticed the original hand position was out of place, so ended up repainting a fair chunk of this. The original underwear version is still present -but hidden- in the working file, for the curious.

As usual in attachment all the wips and the original work file.

Commission for Chuck

Full resolution of this version and its variant in attachment.

I heard you like minotaurs... [WIP]

Included in attachment: multiple steps, thumbnails, and the original working file.

I heard you like minotaurs...

Commission for RodrigoJacoboS (on twitter) featuring his bulls as minotaurs, with an appropriate Minoan theme
