Polls are Closed

Voting is all wrapped up with the names of the the roommates. And honestly, I'm a little surprised with the results. But it looks like it's going to be:

Zoe, the Artist

Brooke, the Young Professional

And Gwen, the Witch

Pretty sure all three winners came from Pablote's suggestions. So thanks/congrats/all-complaints-forwarded-to LoL

Currently, I have both a sort of sequel to that initial imag...

-Huff-

She's a trooper, folks.

I was looking at that old pumpkin spice image & I think the MVP there is the redhead. I really liked the way she that turned out in that, as far as size & shape. While this isn't necessarily a continuation of her or anything, I was exploring messing with that general silhouette & expanding on it a little. And while she's mostly quite round, I was trying to shoot for somewhere between inflation & weight gain in terms of the end result (I tried thro...

It would be one thing if she was just coming to the big city from the country. But from a commune? Where she was born, raised, & homeschooled? Mousy, fairly demure, & rarely cynical, she at first almost seems alien to her urbanite roommates, who hear the word "commune" & immediately suspect "cult." But where she came from grew to be a little too bo...

She burns with a powerful "I want to speak to your manager" energy despite being on that lowest rung of the totem pole herself. A byproduct of her undeniable looks, her ambition, & her upper middle class suburban upbringing. 

While her parents fronted the money for her business degree, it never seemed to lead to very much. Her main s...

An art school dropout, she always thinks she's the coolest person in the room, & often, the smartest. Irony-poisoned, brassy, & sarcastic, she takes pride in only liking things most people have never even heard of, & telling you the stuff you have is all washed & passe at this point. The thing is, at this point, she realizes these are all terri...

But Of Course You Know, This Means War: Rough Character Sheet

So talking about these reoccurring characters, I decided to throw together a very rough character sheet. Besides, I didn't even really have the witchy one to show for really. Decided to go more new-age/hippy than straight up goth. Goth, while hot, felt a little too trite for someone that has magic books.

But the idea is to kind of establish the different characters & their archetype (even though they will have different outfits/varying hair). Included are the names I'm thinking abo...

But Of Course You Know, This Means War: Tea Time

This was something I started drawing yesterday without much of a plan & by the time I was done, I had the start of what might turn into an extremely loose "series." To be clear, I'm not talking about a sequence or a progression, but something more a long the lines of a few reoccurring original characters, contentious roommates in the big city, that (lightheartedly) keep ending up in these sort of situations. 

Not entirely sure what instigated this particular incident, but it se...

Routine Extraction

|||

This was supposed to be a bit of a quick vignette, dealing with the aftermath of sudden expansion scenario. A sort of a trope from a couple of stories where some mysterious figure who is an apparent expert shows up & starts yelling out orders. But I got a bit into some of the character bits, both the meaner & more tender parts. And ultimately, it ended up going a bit longer than I had anticipated, despite not being your typical sort of inflation story, given that it's alread...

Means of Production (Line Work)

If you saw my initial deviantart journal announcing this patreon, here's a shot of the full line work (of at least the important part) of that WIP piece. 

All I'll spoil up front is that she's already contending with her not so comfortable situation, but on top of that, she's received a bit of alarming news. The side front of her belly is intentially a little flat as I kind of want to draw something pressing into her, for squeezin's.' This may or may not link into a new longer stor...

Ticklish

Firstly, full disclosure, I feel like the angle & expression are based off another piece I used a launching pad, but I'll be honest, I can't remember what that piece was.

Another older piece, the goal here was to take this pretty simple shape & animate her laughing & rocking back & forth. Unfortunately though I think I might have saved it with merged layers meaning I'd have to cut it up to do some proper tween animation. Might still do an animation like that, but probabl...

Catty Co-Worker

So first post. If you're seeing this, thanks again! 

This was an old quickie comic I was working on a while back before my old tablet broke. 

There were a couple of pieces I saw a while back where there was a bait & switch where the fatter of the two characters wasn't the one that ended up the heaviest at the end. I don't know, I enjoyed them. Anyway this was one of those, mixed with some good old fashioned passive-agressive positivity. Also wanted to get across that...
