Ok, the colors are done! On to the next one!
For those of you who played Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, you may remember this scene. For those who haven't played... don't worry, it's as wacky and nonsensical as it seems. XD
I'll send the high resolution files to June's patrons on the 5th of July, after June's pledges process. Thanks for the support!

Just a quick little update. Playing with my color style a bit with this one. Nothing's final, just sharing. :)

Ok!
Here's the lines for the first image! I decided to leave Risky's expression as is. I just liked it too much. XD
I realize this isn't going to make a lot of sense if you haven't played the game, "Shantae and the pirate's curse", so I am considering some simple extra presentation-type things I can do/add to clarify it a bit (as wacky as it is), but it'll have to come after I finish the 4 main shots, if I have time this month.
Anyways, I'll be doing the colors now. I'...

Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a Work In Progress of the first pinup:
The rewards for May 2020 have been sent to all Patrons who's payment's successfully processed. Just check your messages. :)
If you're payment was declined, then get back to me when you sort your payment info, and I will send you the rewards as soon as your payment processes.
If you missed out on May's art pack, you can get a hold of the Hi-Res pinups, as well as PSD files, over on my Gumroad Account:
So... I know the poll is still going, but it's pretty clear who the winner is...
Shantae!
Here are some thumbnail concept sketches I was working on today. A bit different than the strictly pinup stuff I usually do. I wanted to try and challenge myself! I am not happy with the camera angles yet, so these really are just concepts. Everything about them could very well change, so don't get too attached, just yet! I'd like to mention I am not looking for criticism her...

I wanted to do a fan art set this month, and I can't decide between these two, so I'll leave it up to you! You have until the end of Wednesday to get your vote in!
Left: Shantae, from the 2014 game "Shantae and the Pirate's Curse".
Right: Ayla, from the 1995 SNES game "Chrono Trigger".

"Hey, mind givin' me a little push?"
It's done! Worked all day on this, but I'm pretty happy with it. I really challenged myself with the scenery in this set, overall... I hope it shows! :D
I'll be sending out the high resolution files of this set to May's Patrons, on the 5th of June, after pledges process.

Here's the last drawing for the swimming hole set! Now, to colors! The background will be worked out in the color phase, it'll mostly be out of focus tree tops and sky.

"Hooboy, this heat's makin' my head spin! Hand me another brew, I'm thirsty!"
Hooboy is right! the backgrounds in this set are killing me... but in a good way! It feels good to challenge myself a bit, and I've had fun with this set. One more to go!

I'm afraid she's not being terribly responsible with her drinking... XD
This is the drawing that was in my head when I thought of this set, but I felt it fit better after the other two. :)

"What are you lookin' at? Something wrong? Come on in, the water's fine!"
This was the HARDEST drawing I have done in years.
I redid that water, like, 5 times? I spent 3 days just painting and repainting that water. I looked up painting tutorials and a million references images to try and figure it out... Ripples are difficult to draw. It's basically like a big, wavy mirror that's also transparent... But I learned a lot!
Anyways, on to the nex...

This one's gonna be tricky to color, because she's partly submerged in the water. Lots of effects to try out!
I'll send out the high resolution files for May as soon as pledges process, which is usually around the 5th of next month.
Thanks for your support!

Hoo boy... this background took some effort!
Still not sure if I am finished with the background, but I will be coloring the farmer girl tomorrow, then I'll reassess how I feel about the environment. Might try to make it a bit more sunny, might make it darker... we'll see!
Do you see how I draw the entire background behind the character? I do that too often. DX
Anyways, just wanted to share some progress! And just a heads up, I'll not be re-using the same background in this ...

Nude Variants
The nude variants of this set will end up completely nude in the rest of the other 3 drawings, It just felt right to have the first one showing her stripping her top and shorts off. Think of it like two alternate story paths: One where she strips to a bikini, the other where she's not wearing a bikini und...

Dang it, I thought I'd have this done yesterday evening, but I ended up redoing the whole thing, midway through.
Anyways, here's the final pose for April! Should have it colored by either tonight, or tomorrow afternoon.
