Conceptualization of the 2D game

So, using the vore animation I made, I wanted to show you guys my vision for the game I plan on making. Imagine that you're the little guy running through a platforming metroidvania game and you come across this big guy. Noms you right up~

That's just a small example of what I would like to do. Let me know what your thoughts are! I'd love to hear about it.

I-Rex Enjoys a Snack

HERE IS THE HD DOWNLOAD:   

https://mega.nz/#!dzxDSQJQ!DGZpEm-GMxKNL4VNAFMSsrNzrD6mEeYgYgW_NbzJbxc 

Just a casual day, another feeding. Jax was a bit intimidated at first but he accepted his role as a snack. Took 25 hours 35 minutes to render. I definitely enjoy the output though~

More I-Rex Naughties

Let me tell you, she's very distracting. That's all... >~>

She Missed! (4K)

So I'm trying to get her to EAT Jax in this animation I'm working on. But she's being very troublesome! Not only did she miss him but it seems she's accidentally sat on him in the process! Poor (lucky) snow leopard~


Just wanted to do something on the side while working on this vore animation. I just couldn't help myself~ ^^;

(not going to be part of the final animation)

I-Rex Vore Animation (wip)

Been working on a vore animation featuring the impressive Indominous  Rex. The final video render will be in 1080p and perhaps sound if I can  manage~

Jax and Shuffle

Linework by the excellent Taurin Fox
Color by myself.

Jax belongs to myself
Shuffle belongs to Unshuffled on FA.

Super cute piece <3

Gordon AV's Jax (for fun comic)

Just wanted to do something a little more relaxed. Just pose and go. Hope you guys like the concept anyways~

Extra large format just for you guys~

Gordon's R&R

Gotta say, this was something I struggled with. Never went to this depth for a character before and I used a few new plugins to get here. Big learning experience for sure and I think I'll probably go a different route to get the same end product for my next character project.

Gordon WIP with clothes!

Kilts are way more complicated than they need to be lol. Let's just say I was pretty frustrated with putting those together but I'm rather satisfied with the results.

Learning Marvelous Designer

With Gordon needing some attire, I'm learning a program called Marvelous Designer. May have seen examples of the capabilities of the program in games like Assassin's Creed. I wasn't planning on making a short skirt and top for Jax but that's what the tutorial was for so there you have it lol.

Now to make a kilt and shirt for Gordon (the horse). :D

Trying out some texture :D

So the primary goal of the texture is to drive the color of the fur I'll be putting on later. Honestly, I kind of hate the way the texture map looks because it looks so bland, but I gotta remind myself that the fur is the end result and not this.

Also started thinking about his clothes, learning a program called marvelous designer to make them. The program is pretty sweet and you may have seen examples of what it can do in games like Assassin's Creed. ^^

Otteroo Sculpt (wip)

He's gonna receive some quick textures and I'll be furring him up. :D

Horse Mouth

Finished the mouth and got it all stitched together as one piece. Was definitely a trail and error kind of task but I managed to get it done. Super pleased with the results and looking forward to texturing it.

Special thanks to Rayverak for his insight on mouths. Definitely helped guide me in the right direction. ^^

Looking a horse in the mouth

Progress is being made everyday! Today is teeth/mouth day. This is a work in progress shot. Currently, slowly, tediously, connecting all of it together so it'll be seamless. I'll be taking inspiration from CakeInferno and making the back of the throat quite appealing~ Since, you know, the swallow is the best part :D


Also super happy that the GIF plays in the post :D

Horse and Bat Explorer update

The horse is coming along nicely, I feel. He's turning into quite the hunk :D Still a lot of work to be done. Need to do retopology, fixing any baking problems, texturing, clothes, rigging, fur/hair, and THEN he'll be ready for rendering. This is only my 3rd ever character and I'm learning a lot with him. One thing I still want to fix, and I'll be doing so during retopology, will be fixing his ears. I don't like them lol

Future scene for posing characters

I found the mesh online but all of the textures were broken since they were originally for Blender (and I work in Maya/Redshift). I spent today connecting all of the textures, making new ones for the textures that weren't good enough, adding lights and making it look beautiful.

The first guest to this luxurious estate will be the horse gentleman I've been working on.

Butt Selfie HD (sketch)

Underwear and nude editions in 2K HD. Will be coloring these eventually! So stay tuned~

I really wanted to improve on my drawing skills. I have always considered it to be my weakest skill and I was tired of it. So, with a driven motivation to improve, here's something to show for it!

Recorded streams?

Who would like the idea of having patron exclusive access to recorded streams? That way you don't have to miss out on anything! And if so, should it remain unedited? Should it be sped up? What tier should it be? Give me your thoughts!

Hard at work!

I'm jumping into the year with some serious skill refinement sessions. I want to get better at my craft, in 3D but definitely in 2D as well. I need to face my weaknesses and improve. (Also, check out the sweet little logo you guys helped me create~)

I'm devoting a lot more time each week to developing my skills and working on commissions. Each week I'll be focusing on a different part of the body. Trying to apply the concepts I learn to different species to try and broaden my understandin...

Ideas for Patreon

So I've been wanting to make it worth it for patrons to support me by providing more content just for them. I feel that once the completed update for the bat explorer game is up then I'll surely have to provide something else because I don't know how soon I'll have another game project going.

Some ideas I've been considering were additional angles/poses of 3D characters. High resolution animation videos at 1080p. And making an enamel pin for higher tier patrons.

I've been throwin...

Logo Part 2!

Another set of logos. Very similar to the past ones that seemed popular. A little more refined. Added the year. Added a new design too! :D

What do you guys think?

Gordon (wip01)

Started on my first commissioned model. I think it's a good start. Gonna make the hooves in 3ds Max rather than Zbrush like the rest of it. The fingers might be tough too. We'll see. He's got little hoof fingers ^^

I'm only somewhat satisfied with the head. Probably gonna adjust that quite a bit. Eventually, he'll have fur and sexy mane. Some attractive hoof feathers and a tantalizing package~

Stay tuned for further updates~

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope you all the very best on your holiday, whatever it may be, and hope you enjoy the new year! It has been an astounding year so far for myself. It has been very motivating to see the watches increase on FA and the support on Patreon grow day after day. Thank you all so much for your viewership and support <3


I hope that I can continue to intrigue you and garner the interest of new patrons. Have a wonderful day!

Love you all!

2018 and beyond!

2018 is on the horizon and I'll be making adjustments to how my time is spent. After having some moderate success on Patreon, I want to devote more time to that and the general audience on FA to bring content to both. In order to do that, I'm going to be offsetting my time from my job. Starting March 2nd, I'll be decreasing my hours to part time (no more than 24 hours per week). That'll free up a lot more time to work on 3D projects and games. I'll also be heavily practicing my 2D art skills by ...

Logo for SpruceArt?

I've been contemplating making a logo (and by extension, something that would look good as an enamel pin) and I've made a few ideas. Not sure if I REALLY like any of them. I've never had to make a logo before.

If anyone has a background on this type of thing or just have suggestions, please, let me know! I could really use all of your help.

This request is exclusive to patrons like you, so you have the unique opportunity to help shape my image to the furry public~

Back but back to work.

I'm back from MFF and had a blast. Unfortunately I had to get back to my day job immediately and hadn't even turned on my computer since before MFF. And I don't think I'll have any time to do so until Saturday when I have a day off.

Aerys was working on the UI controls for the first person vore sequences and we've run into some technical issues that need sorting out. Wasn't expecting this set back but given that the first person vore is a new game mechanic I shouldn't be surprised. Thank...

Things are gonna be put on hold for a number of days while I'm at MFF. Unfortunately my desktop isn't exactly portable. x_x If you're going then I hope you enjoy your time there! Maybe we'll cross paths!
