Lara Croft Sticker

Hey guys!

Even though Zelda has completely consumed me, I felt like I should throw something up here on patreon for you all. I've still been trying to get some things ready for AX and I've wanted to make some type of Tomb Raider thing for a while now, and it turned into this sticker idea.

I'm hoping that the background detail in the circle isn't too distracting, I think the Lara drawing turned out pretty cute so I hope this looks nice printed! That's all for now, I'll try to get b...

Bocchi the Rock

Just a small 5x7 for Anime Expo! I wasn't satisfied with my one doodle I did of Bocchi a while ago and wanted to do something a little more dynamic. I think the pose came out better than I expected and I think I pushed myself to do something a little different with this pic!

The Making of Weekend With Yuka

It's been almost 6 months since Weekend With Yuka was released digitally and now that people have gotten their physical copies in the mail, it's a pretty good time to talk more in depth about making this book! I like talking about my process but I didn't want to put a big ol' lengthy thing at the end of the book that would just cost more money to print so I'll just place my thoughts about it here on patreon for everyone to read.

I thought I had started drafting a document about what I w...

The Red Muscle Chapter 2 (redrawn) PDF

Hey guys! I just finished redrawing this new edition of The Red Muscle ch2 and I'm putting it here for everyone to read. As I've said when I first talked about doing this, there were some small story bits that I wanted to tighten and flesh out better as well as fix some small characterizations that were inconsistent that would make it harder to tell the rest of the story when I get to drawing new chapters.

I also drew a new bonus illustration for the book that I'm really happy with! I'v...

The Red Muscle Chapter 2, redrawn (just a preview!)

So as I said last month, I've been redrawing Red Muscle chapter 2 to get it printed and I'm hoping to have ready for Anime Expo this year. Progress has been a bit slow but still churning along well enough! Here's the first few pages to show off how I'm trying to fix some of my characterization to set up actual new chapters that I've been writing. I also threw in the old cover and pages so you can compare them. This is something I'd normally keep for the $5 tier of patrons but since it's a com...

Rosalina and Luma

Maybe you know this about me but I am a Rosalina enjoyer, even though I think her design is kind of uninspired and boring. They really got me with the story book in Mario Galaxy when I was a kid so I have an attachment to her (I would love Peach most of all if they gave her even the same small breadcrumbs amount of backstory, but it's whatever haha).

I drew this to be a simple little 5x7 print to add to the roster for Anime Expo. I'm still trying to think of more things to sell but this...

Rudy Recs: Season of Alabaster

I stumbled on this manga called Season of Alabaster by Takatsu Makoto a bit ago and I've wanted to write about it for a bit, but the chapter that came out today compelled me to spill my thoughts about it while they were still fresh. There are only 9 chapters out at the time of writing this, but something has really grabbed my attention very early (no, not JUST what you're thinking, haha) so I wanted to talk about why I'm invested in this one and hope the manga sticks the landing.

A New Yoli

Hey everyone! I just wanted to make this separate post to talk about a character of mine that's been on the back burner for a bit, Yoli! I was previously calling her Yolli with two Ls but I'm making the change now for clarity. Yoli has been around for a few years now and I've logged her inception when she was just a visual idea, and her twea...

more Scarlets

these were drawn a few weeks ago, and I've been really enjoying the way Scarlet's look has been evolving. I think pushing her bangs out of her face looks cute and makes sense if she's going to be running around all the time, so I'm going to try to write it in soon. The towel pic was just a dumb idea i had! haha

the new pencils for Ch2 are just about done so inking will start soon, hopefully I'll get that completed this month and be able to show you guys soon. That's all for now!

So I'm redrawing some Red Muscle chapters...

Hey guys, I wanted to start off this month with a bit of a heads up about The Red Muscle. Now that Weekend With Yuka is done, I wanted to get back into gear with Red Muscle chapters but I've been bumping my head pretty often with regards to what I've set up for myself with these characters. I've talked about before that this was my experimental comic where I was learning and practicing a lot of my drawing and narrative skills and the earliest chapters have some inconsistent character acting a...

Bumpers - Frankie's Bag

Here's a quick one pager, trying to get through more of my Bumpers ideas ive written down. More to come!

Parasite Eve

So lately I've been playing Parasite Eve on and off for the past few months and I had the itch to draw a pic for it a few days ago. I put a lot of effort into this and I think it would make a nice print! I was taking screenshots over time while making this pic so I felt like throwing those in so you can see how I fiddled with the composition and colors a lot.

Since we're confirmed for selling at Anime Expo this summer, this kicks off the first of whatever new stuff I'll end up having wh...

sexy scraps

so i've been practicing my construction and i feel like you always have to check your knowledge with some sexy art since its always harder to make those drawings look convincing. here's a collection of some nsfw pics i've been messing with over the month so far! I put this Scarlet at the top just as a preview so people dont get slapped in the face with a nsfw image without expecting it, but I've been drawing Scarlet a lot in general. Feeling good about the Scarlet/Edgar pic and I want to try ...

The Weekend With Yuka book preorder is live!!

Hey guys,

just wanted to make a post here to let everyone know that I'm going to be running preorders for a physical book for Weekend With Yuka until the end of February.

I'm HOPING to have an additional illustration mini print of some kind that I can throw into the book for every order so I hope you consider picking up a copy!

back to doodling

hey guys, I'm back again! I spent a lot of January studying some construction and other things to get back into feeling good about my art again and I think I'm feeling pretty good! A lot of my drawings were primarily in my sketchbook so I'll throw in the few pics i posted to twitter, but I have some earlier digital scribblings too.

The biggest thing I wanted to focus on was improving my understanding of the simplified forms that make up the body so that I could take those and distort th...

January Patreon Pause

hey guys, 

just wanted to give you all a heads up that I'm going to put the patreon on pause for January. You will NOT be billed next month, and payments resume in February. I wanted to draw a handful of Bumpers comics across December but I'm feeling a weird disconnect with my art after finishing my book, and I think I'm going to use next month to study up on some things.

I don't have too much else to say, I'll save the Weekend With Yuka retrospective for when things kick up ...

A Romance Recommendation Double Feature

Hey everyone, happy holidays! I've been dealing with some complicated feelings about my art and thinking of plans to make improvements, but that never stops me from my fervent manga-reading and scouring the internet for new stories to get inspired by. Maybe the down times enable me to get more lost in stories than when I have things to do. There are two manga I've picked up recently that I feel like talking about, and they both happen to be romance stories which makes it fun to group them tog...

Bumpers - Couples T-Shirts

Hey everyone, I've got a new comic for you!

I've been taking it easy since finishing my book and after a few weeks, I felt ready to try tackling some of the Bumpers joke ideas I've collected over time. I still need to write some proper setup for the 4 girls and their dynamics as a full group but this was a fun warmup to start with. I do regret setting this in a thrift store though (it was a last minute change), no one in their right mind would meticulously draw in all those clothes on h...

What have I been reading?

Hey guys! Drawing has been a little scarce around here but I wanted to use this time to talk about stuff I've been reading. I'm not sure if people get much out of this type of post from me but I've always felt like I was the type of manga reader to go digging in the trenches to find the gold to share with others. Not to say that everything I have for you here was all equally hard to come across, but I just felt like talking about them!

First up is a manga I just caught up on called Girl...

November Draw Collection

Hey everyone,

So Weekend With Yuka has been out for a little bit, have you gotten a chance to read it? I'm still very proud of it but I took a small drawing break to relax for a while and I'm trying to do some art study before I jump back into another project. I figured I could share a collection of drawings I have on hand that haven't been shared yet.

Mariel and I just tabled at Anime Expo Chibi and I was scrambling to get some new things made in time, which ended up being the Ma...

Sylvia Sherwood (The Handler)

I had time to draw one last print for AX Chibi, so I went for the character I liked best in Spy X Family, Sylvia!

I feel like she has enough going for her that she's immediately more interesting than Yor despite having much less screen time. She was really fun to draw too! Hoping this one does well at the con.

That's all for now, see you next update!

Weekend With Yuka is now live!

My book is finally done and I can say that you can now buy your copy of it on itch.io here:

https://rudymora.itch.io/wwy 

I made a discount for anyone that purchased the WWY preview, it SHOULD go automatically if you use your account that you bought it with. Maybe it works with matching email too? if anyone has trouble with it I can try to set up a discount code to give out too, we will play it by ear.

Halloween Yuka

Now that I finished my book, I wanted to unwind with a dumb trashy drawing and I saw this little string one piece online so here's a Yuka. Just in time for Halloween!

That's all for now, WWY coming soon!

Marin (My Dress-Up Darling)

Hey everyone! I wanted to get some new prints done for AX Chibi happening in a few weeks and it's been very hard to squeeze time in between comic pages and school starting up, I only managed to get this done in time to get printed!

Its hard to recommend Dress Up Darling because of how tropey the fan service can get, but when it's good, it's good. I really love Marin as the female protagonist, who has her own interests and can stand on her own without her crush on Gojou to define her, an...

My favorite comics from the Shortbox Comics Fair (2022)

Hey everyone! The Shortbox Comics Fair is going on for the month of October and it's so exciting to see so many new comics all in one place, it really gets me motivated and inspired to make new things. I ended up getting 31 comics (which hurts me but at least I can do a tax writeoff!) and I wanted to show off the comics that stood out to me the most that I recommend everyone checks out. 

I don't really know how much I should be talking about each work, because on one hand I want to...

Scarlet Mobile Wallpaper

Not much going on with this, just wanted to update my phone wallpaper and have been in a Scarlet kinda mood again. I wanted to mess with inking and painting styles, it didn't turn out drastically different but I think the thin lines are worth trying more!

That's all for now, see you next update!

The Bumpers Art Store is live!!

Mariel and I just launched our store again with all our new prints and stickers! I'm really proud of the collection of things we have in stock so please check it out and support if you're interested in anything you see here.

The big focus this time around was for stickers, here's a handful of products from both of us that we have for you:

nsfw sketch collection

hey guys, sorry it's been a bit of a slow month for me in terms of drawings! I've been getting a few weeks of full 5 day weeks at work and then my remaining free time has been working on WWY and getting in a few rounds of splatoon with friends. for now, I've got this small collection of nude draws that i've collected at some point.

The first one was mostly practicing boobs, trying to get a natural resting boob is actually quite hard for me! I'll have to keep doing some practice. Then I'...

Dressup Darling Concepts + some Scarlets

Hey guys! A bit of a smaller update for now, I just got back from tabling at Anime Impulse last weekend which was a lot of fun and it's really motivated me to try to up my print game as I attempt to get into the new Anime Expo in Ontario this november. I had some minor success with stickers and small prints but I think I want to have nice cleaned up poster sized prints for My Dressup Darling and Spy x Family. Actual work has taken up a lot of my time lately so all I have for now are these con...

Golf Game character lineup

I've been fiddling with designing a cast of characters for a silly arcadey golf game for the past month and it's been hard to find time to work on it. I figured I should at least post a sketch lineup of the designs I've thought up so far. There isn't a particular theme, I just want a wide range of personalities that compliment each other as a set.

I'm really feeling good about most of these except for the short tracksuit girl with the curvy figure and the techwear/street fashion dude wi...
