Layout in Progress!

Still having fun with this fantasy comic planning/experimentation. And if anyone’s wondering why I haven’t posted any vote options yet, well...I need followers to justify it, so...

Once I have a fair amount of people following, I’ll get to it. Meantime, enjoy the WIP’s. Pretty happy with how this is going so far...

Fantasy Comic test #1

Had to take a hiatus from direct content work between real life and commissions I agreed not to share online. That said, I am once again finding time to get back to work on this fun-and-naughty stuff, including a comic idea I’ve been kicking around for a while based on some *ahem* personal erotica I’ve written on the side with my girlfriend (read: FOR my girlfriend 😏). For this, I was mainly testing out colors, shot-framing, and set piece detailing (especially with regard to the backgr...

Miranda - steps

Here are the building blocks to Miranda’s final image (sans background). I forgot to save a copy of the original black line work, but screw it, you get the idea.

Meet Miranda

I intended to simply do some warm-up art and fell in love with this random subject I was creating. This portrait isn’t perfect but it gives me an idea of her personality and mood. There’s a lot I can do with this character (and a lot SHE wants to do, for that matter...) so look for more pieces featuring this fun-loving good-girl-going-bad to come (no pun intended 😜)

Miranda

She’s a character I totally came up with by accident. Full image will be available to all patrons, line work and such goes to the upper tiers 😎

The VIP Suite in Jabba’s Palace

At long last, the piece is complete. There were a lot more lighting and overall details to factor on this than I expected but I’m glad I tackled it. This is easily one of the best pieces I’ve done and I couldn’t be happier. I’m especially pleased with the girl lounging on the right side of the shot, a completely original creation for this piece. I love how her skin color and dual-color hair fade reacted to the lighting. Let me know what you think of it, and enjoy!

The VIP Suite in Jabba’s Palace - flats

Workload at my day job was crazy today so I wasn’t able to complete the piece fully. Here’s the flats at least as some WIP hold over.

The VIP Suite in Jabba’s Palace - completed line art

I am ecstatic with the way this has turned out. It’s easily one of the most detailed pieces I’ve done and it pays off big time. As always, I tried to think in terms of what could have happened off camera, so I did some photo research from Return of the Jedi for the two girls on the left while the one snuggled up on the right of Boba is 100% my own creation. More details to come, even beyond the obvious color and lighting. Fingers crossed, I will hopefully have the final piece done tomorro...

Boba Fett up in VIP - line work peek

Tier 2 & 3 patrons can now view the completed line art for what I am calling “The VIP Suite in Jabba’s Palace“. Patrons will see unedited art across the board, and I am shooting for having the completed piece fully rendered and posted by tomorrow night so I can watch Mandalorian in peace 😅

Preview of the Bounty

Next up is a trip to Jabba’s Palace for an after-hours private party to celebrate Mandalorian season 2 and Boba Fett’s return! (apologies for the spoiler to the like three people left in the universe that didn’t hear that news). All paying patrons will see the finished product hopefully by Friday, in time for the season premiere. Tier 2 & 3 patrons will see finished line work and a few other pieces of WIP material.

To any new visitors: you can see censored & edited ve...

Elf Character pencil test

My intention here was to simultaneously conceptualize an elf character I’m developing for a comic (more on that in future posts) while practicing angles and anatomy for these steamy endeavors. I think the path from here to the First Fantasy piece I posted earlier is pretty obvious, but I also played with detail ideas for the character like the pointed ears, the leafy clothing and the facial expressions. Soon I’ll be posting some fully rendered and colored test shots for the comic, so stay...

First Fantasy - pencils

I had already merged a lot of the layers on this so this is the best I can do on the WIP of this piece. I promise on future pieces I will do a better job of accounting for the WIP ahead of time 😅

First Fantasy

It’s the piece I pulled my avatar from, so I figured what the hell. I did a lot of my initial color and lighting practice on this piece (the rough edges are obvious to me; you tell me what you think). This is also the very first piece I ever did messing around with gradients and I think it went a long way toward setting a nice atmosphere, especially in the on-her-back side of the piece. I didn’t used to be any good at angled or off-kilter perspective shots either so the challenge on this ...

Black Cat & Spidey pencils

Personally, I enjoy seeing the process on these things, so I’m throwing the pencil work in here so you can see where I started. I used to hate manual inking and again the digital platform comes to the rescue for me. I’ve included the character line work again so those of you who care can compare 😊

Black Cat & Spidey line work

Interestingly enough, this piece challenged me most when it came to the background. Thank God for digital platforms and the ease with which they allow you to move and shape Art where and how you want it. I lean on Procreate mostly, though I’ll use Photoshop for some additional elements like text graphics or atmosphere shifts.

Along Came a Spider...

My kick-off steamy piece! Black Cat is easily one of the sexiest characters in comics, and one of the reasons I decided to launch this whole endeavor is because I wanted to create naughty art that I felt more accurately reflected character traits and so forth of the subjects. Case in point, I feel this moment between Peter and Felicia is absolutely something that not only COULD have happened off-panel but almost certainly DID happen at some point. Ask nicely and I may even do a sequel piece t...
