Patreon on hiatus

Unfortunately letting you all know that I'll be putting this patreon venture on a hiatus. I've been debating it for a while, and as I've mentioned in the past there is some life stuff going on that requires more of my attention. Currently waiting for the money withdraw to process, which may take a few days, but once done I will unlaunch the page (basically hiding and putting the page on pause)

Besides posting my backlog of artwork, I will also probably not be producing new art for a whi...

Update - Total Drama: ROTI series

TLDR: Done some edits to the Dakota artwork in batch 01 folder. And will hopefully finish batch 02 the next couple of days


First off I've done some edits to the Dakota piece from the first batch. Uploaded those versions to the drive so you should all have access to them now. Edited her breasts in the topless version, and changed her username.


My tech issues are not solved, but under control and will finally have some time to finish the artwork for batch 02. S...

TD:ROI - Still delay batch 02

TLDR: Still unsolved tech issues, and not totally sure when this can be solved. I'll update you guys on when I get back to working on the series


Pardon the radio silence. Tech issues and other life stuff have kept piling up and keeping me from finishing the series. The actual restoration of the drives and the back-up took almost two weeks. And now it looks like the brand new HDD may be faulty, but still trying to determine the issue.

TD:ROI - Delay batch 02

Quick update. My year started in a bad way, my work HDD  decided to malfunction. Fortunately everything is backed up to the cloud. But this will entail a delay in getting back to the next batch for a  while as I sort this out with a new drive and what not. Hopefully won't push things up more than a week

TD:ROI Batch 01 - Complete

Update - Total Drama: ROTI

TLDR: I've gotten a lot of work done on the project and aim to drop the first batch of artwork before Christmas.

The last couple of weekends I've made a lot of progress on the series, so figured I'd outline where I'm at and when folks can expect the final artwork.

As mentioned before I'll charge this series in two batches. First I charge once, send you the link to the first batch. Then once the second batch is complete there comes a  second charge and I'll se...

Rough color sketches (Anne Maria) - Total Drama: ROTI

Which one is your favorite?

Obviously went extra crazy with sketches for my favorite girl. Anne Maria will be featured several times in the series, so feel free to pick several favorites. Again keep in mind that these are suuuuuper rough, like photo-bashed background, quick color and drawing. 

Also worth mentioning that I've gotten quite far with the other pieces. 5 of them are like 80% done at this point

Rough color sketch (Staci) - Total Drama: ROTI

So I already had a decent idea of what I wanted to do with Staci, so didn't go trough any iterations. But still figured I could share the sketch for her piece. Again keep in mind that these are suuuuuper rough, like photo-bashed background, quick color and drawing.

Rough color sketches (Dakota) - Total Drama: ROTI

Which one is your favorite?

Omg had so much fun with Dakota, just love her. The series will include two pieces with Dakota so feel free to name your two favorites. Note that 4 would also include a topless alt, and that the other may include a bikini alt.  Again keep in mind that these are suuuuuper rough, like photo-bashed background, quick color and drawing.

Rough color sketches (Zoey) - Total Drama: ROTI

Which one is your favorite?

Three takes on Zoey. Again keep in mind that these are suuuuuper rough, like photo-bashed background, quick color and drawing.

Rough color sketches (Dawn) - Total Drama: ROTI

Which one is your favorite?

Work has started on the series with some rough sketches. Explored a few different ways to take the Dawn piece, and these two where the most fruitful. Again keep in mind that these are suuuuuper rough, like photo-bashed background, quick color and drawing. Don't mind her wonky eye in the second sketch haha

Story ideas - Total Drama: ROTI

Finally broke an idea for the plot of the Total Drama: ROI series :D It's dumb, really dumb, maybe even dumb enough to be in line with the show:

Obviously their stay at the Island was not an entirely great experience, so the ladies have started a support chat group. Dawn, a newly graduated fourth wave new wave spiritual therapist, have a trust exercise for the girls; sending each other enticing pictures in order to release some pent up sexual energy. It's all fun and tongue in cheek, un...

Suggestions? - Total Drama: ROTI

As mentioned earlier the series will feature Staci, Dawn, Anne Maria, Dakota and Zoey. But what type of scenario do you want to see them in? Both larger scope story ideas and ideas for individual pieces are welcome. Keep in mind the soft-core nature of my work.

Next: 8 part series - Total Drama: Revenge of the Island (2 batches)

The next project I will be approaching is a 8 part snap series featuring Staci, Dawn, Anne Maria, Dakota and Zoey, as seen on Total Drama: Revenge of the Island (2012).

Due to the scope, the series will be released, and charged for, in two batches. There is no set timeline as I am working on this in my spare time, but the more supporters - the more time I'm able to  dedicate to working on it.

And to reiterate: Whenever I complete this series I will post a pai...

El Arca Series - Complete

The El Arca series is done! Check your DM for access to the files. There is a little surprised! Got carried away and finished an additional piece with Panthy, exclusive for patreon supporters, the second Panthy pic will not be posted to the public. Thank you all for the support <3 And hope you stick around for the Total Drama: Revenge of the Island series

Head construction - El Arca

Not sure if I have many artists following me here, but these head constructions have been appreciated when posted on twitter. Went a lot more in depth than I usually do, but found doing all three angles to be very useful to get a good grasp of the volume. And honestly with how vaguely constructed the characters appear in the movie, this was actually much needed 

Currently I'm doing the last few edits to the final artwork and story. My aim is to have it complete by the end of the we...

Another quick update -El Arca

Hi,

So all illustrations are mostly done at this point. All that is left right now is just small details, fixing the overall chat format and compiling everything into an easy to view structure. I hope to have it all done by the end of the week

As for the future, I'm currently planning to pursue  a Total Drama: Revenge of the Island series. But more details about that later :)

Quick update -El Arca

Hi

Sorry I've been radio silent here for a while. Got some life stuff that took up a lot of my time, but now most of that seem sorted. I have gotten back to working on the series, and I'm now in finishing mode.  2 out of 4 pieces are mostly done. I'd estimate a couple nights worth of work left

Rough color sketches (Bruma) - El Arca

Which one do you want me to finish/render?

So I did not go as crazy with Bruma, already had a fairly clear idea of what i wanted to try out with her. Again keep in mind that these are suuuuuper rough, like photo-bashed background, quick color and drawing.

View Post

Rough color sketches (Panthy) - El Arca

Which two of these do you want me to finish/render?

So I went crazy with Panthy too and made more sketches than needed. Although I knew I wanted to feature Panthy twice, once in a fancy dress and once nude/topless. Again keep in mind that these are suuuuuper rough, like photo-bashed background, quick color and drawing.

Rough color sketches (Kairel) - El Arca

Haha so I got really taken away with making color sketches for Kairel. I usually only do one or two, but had so much fun playing with her and so many nice refs I wanted to use. Mind you these are suuuuuper rough, so don't get discouraged. I do these mainly to figure out if the lighting, as well as the volumes of the pose, are going to read. Considering these are all "clothed" I will most likely make topless/nude alts

I'm currently doing studies of Panthy as well as some...

Script notes - El Arca

TLDR: I discovered a new interesting way to expand the plot/story. But the scope of the illustration will stay the same, just adding fluff around that

So I'm now done with all comms of this batch, and can move my focus to the El Arca project. Which is great as I may be more excited than I've ever been for a project! The reason being that I've long wanted to lean heavier into story elements in my work. But I have been unsure how to incorporate stronger story element without like triplin...

Story ideas - El Arca

As some may know I'm keeping busy with comms right now, but I do continue to prep the El Arca series in the odd spare hours. I'm gathering pose references and have began thinking about the story.

Do you guys have any ideas for the story?

Currently I'm having some vague idea about the girls chatting about "once they get off the boat" and maybe who'll bone who at that point or who will be queen, but don't have a concrete idea yet. Happy to hear your thought...

Studies - El Arca

Some sketches trying to figure out how I want to handle their "nakedness", considering they are already naked. Really really love the idea of stuffing the tufts of hair between the breasts. Also some rough studies trying to figure out the head constructions. Will need to do some more work to figure that out, especially want to understand how the cheeks work

Next: 4 part series - El Arca

The next project I will be approaching is a 4 part snap series featuring Kairel, Panthy and Bruma, as seen in El Arca (2007). 

And to reiterate: Whenever I complete this series I will post a paid post with a preview urging you to check your inbox, where I will have sent all patrons a link to the full resolution (3000x1688) as well as text-less version of the series. You will have early access to this series for roughly 1,5 month.<...
