Oh... I think I forgot to mention that the last image was a WiP. I'll be coloring this one and making it look good. I made some changes here - most notably to King, to exaggerate his reaction. Still not sure about the thought balloon. I like it, but I don't know if it's totally necessary or not. Guess we'll see what happens when we start coloring!

I honestly can't get enough of her, and neither can King. So here's Diane giving the guy a little peek from above.

Loyal readers and ardent supporters,
I come to you with an apology for the prolonged wait time between recent pages, and my most sincere gratitude for your support and collective patience. It truly means the world to me...
In truth, production has slowed a little as I’ve moved into the second half of the comic and struggled with decision fatigue and choice paralysis. The pages are satisfactory, but the energy behind them isn’t. I wanted to avoid doing this, but I’ll be needi...

Yet another series of perilous back-and-forths... That might explain why this WiP is mostly lined already. No matter. A few more changes, and some tones and we'll be ready to go. Should be up soon, my dearest, most patient of readers. On that note, I'll have something to say about the upcoming pages, and the production and scheduling thereof, when this page arrives. See you soon!

Greetings dearest supporters and lovers of fine things. I've got a new page cooking up for you, but in the mean time I come to you with a special treat. Hentai animator Washa ( https://www.patreon.com/washa ) and I have collaborated to bring you this fully animated, voice acted, cinematic short of Shantae, based on my illustration of her from years past.
Don't bother clicking on the image! It's just a thumbnail. Ins...
some soft and minimal color work makes this image feel much more inviting, don't you think?

At last, a drawing of the beautiful Viera, Fran. I'm giving some strong consideration to adding a splash of color to this one, as I have some ideas in mind. We'll see how she goes!
2019-08-01 04:05:59 +0000 UTC View PostPage 39 is what you might call an moment of improvisation. As I’ve mentioned before, things are going *slightly* off-script. The script, of course, still serves as the basis, and provides direction, but little things change as I take advantage of opportunities along the way. This is the fun and joy of being in control of one's own project. Billy’s face, for example, was never meant to be grabbed by Marvin in the previous page, but it felt funny and appropriate, so I went with it. What to ...

This page took a long time, but here it is. Figuring out how to do the curvilinear (fish-eye) perspective, and what I wanted with the four panels below took some finagling, but I'll have a full write up on the process for the higher tier, plus another character image before the month's end.
Thanks for your support, dearest patrons~ <3 I hope you enjoy the update!
Progress was slow this week, but we're getting there.
On that note, I'm officially a crazy person... Curvilinear perspective is no joke, and I can't believe I went full on with this background. There were a few reasons. For starters, we haven't had a full character-background shot in a while, and making sure you see shots like these help to ground the reader and remind them there is a place (I think anyways). The fish-eye perspective also helps give you a greater sense of Marvin's...

Working on some structural lay-in stuff! For this page I wanted to have a big wide shot of Marvin testing out his strength as he lifts Billy up into the air while the girls continue to work him. I'm a bit of a stickler for proportion and placement (much to my detriment), and managing a scene with multiple characters is no easy task. So it's taken a few revisions to get here. The perspective may not be as warped as I'd like, but it's structurally sound, I think... I'm also going for a bit of a...

Ashe equipped a rare item! Now she wants to know how it looks.
Still working hard on page 39 of the comic, and it's a technical doozy, but that's okay. We'll get it figured out with some nice steps and post analysis. See you again soon, and thanks for your support! <3

Let the fun begin...
And by fun I mean intensely hard work. Sequences are getting planned out, and I'm sweating at the thought of it already. The second half of the comic is going to be a lot more work than the first half, but I'm determined to craft this comic for you with the best of my ability. đź’Ş
Also, I meant to do a proper step and walkthrough post of my previous page, but I **stupidly** didn't save the sketch files for it. We'll get to that soon. The process has...

Sex part begins now.
Also, I didn't post a Wip for this page since I was focused on turning it around as quickly as possible, but I will be putting up an informative post with my process and steps showing the creation of this page from thumbnail to finish for my $10 backers. Hope you all are having a nice weekend! Thank-you for supporting my work <3

I picked up FFXII, and I was immediately struck with how cute Penelo is, so here's a bonus drawing of her for my lovely supporters! After all... who can't admire her adorable country style hair cut, with her short bangs and stocky pig tails. Never change it, Penelo!
This one's gonna be good. I can tell. At long last Marvin has awakened from his dream and is ready to charge up. I debated over which angle to display this shot, and how important to make it on the page. We already saw him power up in the last comic, but this time things are gonna be a little different. So I figured giving it a big panel, along with the crew's reaction below should make for an interesting setup.
Speaking of that last panel. I was unsure how to get each of the char...

~breaking point ~
It's a real nightmare (no pun intended) to get all these screen tones to work together without going overkill on the page. Thank goodness there's only one more of these dark pages, but I do think the effect is nice here and helps sell the mood. Careful readers may notice a few changes made to this page from the WiP / analysis post, including Mi-Hee and Sharlene's faces. The rays of light coming from the mirror, the laughter text in the background, and flowers beh...

This page is quite a doozy and has taken some time to figure out, but I think I’ve finally got a handle on it. I’ll break it down here and describe what we're looking at. In the previous page we saw a shadowy figure present Marvin with a tantalizing offer. At the beginning of this page we find him ever resistant. “No!” he cries in the top panel, “I- I need to study for the chemistry exam!”, looking away from the shadow's influence.
The shadow will then show him a terrible vi...

Here's a Patreon bonus drawing for you of my favorite Skullgirls character, Valentine! Let me know if you want to see her colored up, or if you'd prefer to see a drawing of another girl from this series.
Thank-you dearly for your support <3 See you again soon with some exciting page WiPs!
Here's a tutorial covering some of the toning techniques I've used on recent pages. In it, I talk about how to achieve darker tones and some tips to keep the patterns looking nice. It's a bit technical and may require some knowledge of Clip Studio, but I figured plenty of you would be into this even if only for curiosity sake... and hopefully it may be helpful to a few of you :)
more stuff coming soon, thanks for your support!!
dark premonition...
whoo boy this page took some work. A lot of trial and error here, but I learned a few important things about screen tones, so I think I'll be turning this page into a tutorial of sorts for the $10 tier, and then I'm going to work on a character drawing for those in the upper tier as well.
I hope you're having a swell Sunday :) Thank-you very much for support!!
I was gonna wait until Sat or Sun to post this, but I've been stuck at home nursing a painful injury, unable to do much. Anyways, careful readers should notice the swirling texture from the gutters of the last page now is in the background. Getting the texture just right took some experimentation but I'm pleased with the results.
It should be obvious... but having been knocked unconscious, Marvin is now in a dream state, where he awakens to hear the mysterious voice from earlier i...

Edited this page *slightly* due to some feedback I received from a friend. It wasn't obvious to her whether Mr. Thornton was entering the closet or just peeking inside... so I darkened the room to reinforce that the feeling that he is retreating into the closet (and pulling the door behind him). I think the confusion has to do with the direction he is facing but I felt like the darkening is enough to make it obvious anyways. Also, the halls received some extra detail (posters, papers on the g...
