OC SPOTLIGHT: Sitri // nsfw

sitri is a demon, but he was always different from his peers. the realm of lust demons can be cutthroat, ripe with intrigue and manipulation, and sitri was never cut out for that. at heart he's gentle and sensitive, and compared to the others he seemed timid, unassuming, and even shy. that made him an easy target. he got teased and picked on, which turned into bullying, which turned into emotional abuse. his very home became an environment where sitri had to act the omega as a way to survive ...

Question post for HTM07: Monster mouths

as decided by the latest HTM poll, HOW TO MONSTER 07 is going to be about monster mouths, a topic requested by shade ("lips, teeth, tongue, the whole shebang.")! i'm super excited about it, since i have a bit of an oral fixation...

do you have any questions about this topic? is there any particular aspect of it that you'd like me to discuss? any specific type of monster mouth you're into, tips for drawing nice teef, or ideas for monstro...

August MOTM: mother-of-pearl shark monster - concept sketch + design commentary // nsfw

thanks again to sasha for suggesting a shark monster!

this guy was simultaneously easy and challenging to design. from the start i knew i wanted to give him legs rather than a merman-esque type of anatomy, because i had this mental image of a very beefy underwater lad and i felt like muscular thighs would suit that idea better than a shark's tail (how do you even make a fish tail look beefy?). him being so muscular also goes well with the fact that sharks are very effic...

SKETCHBOOK: Designing Tsaga, part 5 // sfw

more tsaga design sketches, this time more of his feral form! he's got one 'indoor-friendly' feral form that's about the size of a large lion or tiger, and one Big™ feral form. regardless of size he's very agile, fluid, slinky, and fast in his movement patterns and i'm having tons of fun trying to capture it in my sketches of him?

IMPORTANT INFO - gonna pause the next billing cycle, you won't be charged for august

tl;dr:

- because of Life™ being Stressful™ and Kinda Awful™ i haven't been able to produce my usual content for august.

- for this reason i've decided to pause the next billing cycle, meaning that my patrons won't be charged for august on september 1st (patreon payments are retroactive, so when you get charged on the 1st of any month you're paying for the month that just ended.)*

Monster of the Month: Poll for SEPTEMBER

which of these monsters should i draw in september? you can vote for up to 3 options! 

last month's poll result saw an unprecedented 3-way tie between "lonesome dragon of the withered forest," "violet-backed starling harpy," and "mother-of-pearl shark monster." i decided to go with the mother-of-pearl shark creature because it's a type of monster i've never drawn before - but fear not, the other two will get a seco...

quick status report (+ which ocs?)

hey! just popping in real quick to say that i'm gonna post the oc spotlight and motm polls soon! they're a little delayed because i've been moving apartments and there's been so much to do, plus i didn't even have internet for a solid week. i'll keep the polls running for one or two weeks longer than usual, to make up for the delay. <3 (on that note is there any particular OCs you want me to put in the poll?)

OC SPOTLIGHT: Ronové // sfw-ish

ronove was one of the first demons born to lucifer and lilith, back when the devil was still waging a war of conquest against the small, pre-existing kingdoms of hell that hadn't already accepted his rule. ronove never knew heaven, but he watched his father subdue one enemy after another. as soon as he was old enough he joined the fight, eventually reaching the rank of general in samael's army.

July MOTM: Nightmarish corvid monster (sketch) // sfw

so uh the idea here was to draw these two in the style of edward gorey. i think the ghost lady turned out gorey-esque enough but the corvid monster looks more like if a bloodborne monster snuck into the moomin valley. even if that wasn't exactly what i had in mind i count it as a huge success lol.

SHORT STORY: Mating season // nsfw

Weshau had always loved the way Minoru's peachy soft fur stood on end in the wake of the scrape of his claws. It is a gentle touch, never even leaving the slightest mark on the rabbit god's skin, but also a tangible illustration of the differences between the two lovers. Where the starbeast's claws and fangs are sharp and deadly, made to rip the life from prey and foe alike, Minoru is soft, with silken hair and a poofy stump for a tail. Where Weshau is all muscle and old scars, the rabbit is ...

July MOTM: Nightmarish corvid monster - concept sketch + design commentary // sfw

shoutout again to ky and drakochan, who both suggested a MOTM monster based on crows/ravens/corvids! 

the first thing that popped into my mind when i started brainstorming a 'nightmarish corvid monster' was the silhouette of an unnaturally long torso with several arms attached to it. i started out by concept sketching this silhouette, focusing entirely on the outline and overall impression of it. i had to re-draw and tweak it a bit before it looked...
