PayPal as a payment option?

In continuation from my last post about Patreon's recent payment problems...

Perhaps I am mistaken, but some time ago I came to believe (I think from a Patreon email), that in order for Patrons to be able to pledge to me via PayPal, I had to set that up on my end. But, because I am a NSFW account, that wouldn't be an option, since PayPal doesn't allow itself to be used for that sort of services. However, some people have told me they were able to set up all of their payments through Pay...

Recent Problem with Payments and Subscriptions

Oh boy, August started off with a bang, didn't it? Well, let's get into it. 

Payments marked as fraud
As some of you are aware, Patreon recently had an issue with a massive amount of payments being marked as Fraud, and some people even being force-unsubscribed from creator accounts. I am not clear on the reason behind these issues, but I've heard through the grapevine that it has something to do with them changing the address of where payments are processed (?),...

July Pinup #1 - Couch Gaming

Sassy: "Hey, wanna tag-team Super Castlevania IV?"

Still trying to get that lazy summer day feel with these drawings. 😎

This was another background that took quite a long time to finish! That Ninja Turtle poster in the back I drew myself, based on the original NES cartridge cover art. And yes, that's a Nerf limited edition M41A Pulse Rifle replica from my favorite movie of all time: ALIENS. 

This month I kept accidentally making sketches for larger scenic pi...

June Pinup Preview!

Sassy: "Hey Ruthie, you want anything from the vending machine? Ruthie??"

Here's a sneak peak Rough draft of the first artwork for June! 😀

Adding more narrative to my work!
Lately I've been working my way up to more narrative driven artworks. Rather than just Sassy or some other girl standing or sitting around looking all sexy, like my past stuff, I'm trying to add little environment elements and posing cues to push some kind of simple narrative. No...

May Pinup #1 - Sassy Skater

Sassy: "Let's grind some curb, dude!"

Here's the colors! I hope you like this style, because I had a ton of fun with it, and I think I'll be exploring more in this direction for a bit. I think I'd like to explore more building design in the future. Right now those are pretty plain buildings, and I'd like to stylize her world to be a bit more inspired and interesting, I think. Still retro/modern, but with more flare and color. 

I am working on the next pinup, it's a b...

May Pinup Preview!

"Yo, the sun's all gleamin' and rad today! Let's hit the park and get some sick knarly pops in, my dude!" Sassy trying her best at skater speech. XD

Ok, so I think I'm done with the whole detailed style experimentation for a bit. I was glad to see if I could, but ultimately it just wasn't as much fun, and took waaaaay longer to finish each drawing. 

This year I want to position myself to start working on something more than just pinups. I know I've mention...

2023 April Pinup - Lazy Summer Day

Sassy: "Oh hey, could you check on my Tamagotchi real quick?"

I wanted to do a drawing that had the feeling of a lazy summer day, maybe after a game of nerf tag by the pool. 😊

I had a hard time deciding on whether to blur the background for this, after putting all that detail in. I feel the blurred background showcases Sassy a bit more, but I also like being able to see the background details too. So I am sharing both versions lol!
