May MOTM: Adagio & Allegro (painting) // nsfw

slick fingers unravelling her, thread by thread.

shout-out to water lilies for automatically making any scene seem more magical and otherwordly, like a scene from a folk tale. not that i can think of any folk tales that feature a mermaid fingering a faun, but still.

this design prompt was a combination of ciyu’s suggestion of two complementary monsters + toreadorkable’s idea for a music theme — thank you both! :>

(oh, and check out ...

SKETCHBOOK: showing off // nsfw

gentle cuddles, hormy twinks, face-down-ass-up banging like screen doors in a hurricane -- you know, the usual.

as indicated on the sketchdump itself, i was really on the fence about whether or not i should include the two sketches on the bottom, because they're both flawed in ways that bother me. but at the same time i like those doodles enough that i didn't want them to just sit in a procreate folder and never be seen by anyone ever. personally i think it can be quite interesting to s...

OC Spotlight: Okoro // slightly nsfw

Lethal venom, small puncture wounds like from the fangs of a snake, and bodies contorted from pain are all calling cards of the assassin that Imperial agents have nicknamed the Viper. You might think that someone who comes and goes completely unseen and unheard would cover their tracks and kill without leaving even a bloodstain behind -- but the Viper chooses not to. The crime scenes they leave behind sends a message that regularly chills even veteran Sentinels to the bone.

EARLY ACCESS: hunger // nsfw

insert joke about big bad wolf and 'what a big mouth you have' and 'the better to eat you with' and etc.

based on a sketch i posted back in february, for anyone who likes to compare the pose doodle to the finished painting! also, luca's mane fluff is pretty high on my list of things i will never get tired of drawing.

SKETCHBOOK: r-right there // nsfw

monsters with deft fingers. big monsters who can hold up their lovers like it's nothing. monsters who take their time grinding and rubbing and teasing. monsters who cuddle. monsters.

that's all. :>

Monster of the Month: Poll for JUNE

thanks to the patrons who suggested these design prompts: ariana dawnhawk (cuttlefish); artsyarchi (manananggal / aswang / tik-tik); bees (were-creature); ky (who suggested a crab-inspired monster, but i took the liberty of expanding the concept into crustaceans in general); and meredith (c...

SKETCHBOOK: hehe // nsfw

time for some more nsfw pose doodles! :> the plan is that some of these will be turned into drawings of our OCs, while others will be used for new art of old monsters of the month. (and on that note, please head over to this post and let me know which MOTM designs you think i should revisit!)

HTM13: *check back soon*

[[ gonna have to push the deadline for HTM13 just a little bit further. the tutorial is coming along nicely, but i've been overworking myself again so i'm gonna halt myself before i crash and burn and gracefully give myself a few more days to finish it. i'm making this post to keep you all in the loop and be transparent -- my new goal is to finish HTM13 by may 7th or earlier. i'll update this post with the proper banner & attached file once it's all done, so you might get a notification a...

please note: the imovie app for ipad recently updated and something has changed, because i used to be able to get 5-7 minute files at 1080p HD to under 200 MB, which is the size limit for patreon attachments. but this time i couldn't get the file size to below 200 MB without reducing the resolutio...

April MOTM: Ferrofluid Charm - concept sketch + design commentary // sfw

thanks again to hyenastuff for suggesting ferrofluids and to toreadorkable for suggesting magnetism! (the 'charm' part of the prompt is ofc a reference to both romantic/sexual attraction and to, y'know ... magnetic attraction ... cause i'm nothing if not here for the shitty dad puns.)

i won't even attempt to explain ferrofluids with my own words, so here's a quote from 2021-04-28 18:23:33 +0000 UTC View Post

April MOTM: Ferrofluid Charm (sketch) // nsfw

so, speaking of the spikes being fun to touch and this monster being great to stim on ...

last month's MOTM sketch was very intense so i figured this time i'd just draw something dumb and fun. this human is just a beefy lil ADHD bean and his boyfriend is like a walking fidget toy.

April MOTM: Ferrofluid Charm (painting) // nsfw

"you're doing so well, taking all of me."

another ambitious painting, with what's basically two mini-paintings within the painting. nothing like a messy close-up, eh? 

this design prompt was based on suggestions made by hyenastuff and toreadorkable -- thank you, both of you!

(also, this monster is all different materials and textures, so me and my adhd is just over here like yeah he would be wonderful to stim on.)

OC Spotlight: Ariel // nsfw

It's Kubi again, here with the Ariel spotlight! I had fun revisiting the backstory of one of our older pairings. As a disclaimer, please keep in mind that he is absolutely an evil character whose actions are not to be emulated or condoned. That said, hope you enjoy the nefarious story of the Demonic Prince of Lust!

—————

In the legends of demon hunters, infernal creatures of lust come with entire litanies of warnings. They walk amongst men, each wearing a pretty face and...

SKETCHBOOK: sliver // nsfw

a handful of nsfw tarikuto + naoki moments, ranging from merely an alluring peek of skin to a tail raised in invitation. 

(side note, but i'm REALLY enjoying the way i sketch right now? as in, both the process and the look of it??? it feels so different from my sketching style even just a year ago -- i hope you all like it too!)

// art + tarikuto © me; naoki © kubi.

SKETCHBOOK: <3 <3 <3 // nsfw

to be honest, their lunch breaks end up like this more often than tarikuto would like to admit. he takes his duties very seriously and is always punctual ... except for when he returns to the shrine a little late, with sex hair and a flush on his face.

these two continue to live completely rent free in my brain. in fact i'm paying half their rent for them and helpfully taking out their trash, because i care them. i care them so much.

SKETCHBOOK: lil face kiss // sfw

current obsession: tarikuto & naoki. i just posted the design sketches and here are some  snapshots of cute moments. tarikuto is a shrine keeper and naoki is a historian / librarian; they fell in love slowly, sending each other little messages folded into origami figures that move on their own accord, sharing poems they both like, and snickering at absurd anecdotes from the library while dru...

SKETCHBOOK: designing Tarikuto // sfw

lately, me and kubi have developed a slew of new characters for the scoundrels (the loveable criminal organisation from many of the OC spotlights). i love all of them, but tarikuto and naoki are among my absolute favourites, so i'm happy to introduce them!

i’ll let the image speak for itself. moral of the story: figuring out what a character looks like is sometimes an incredibly frustrating but also very rewarding process.

(also, i know that these are not the most RIVETING sketc...

Which old MOTM designs should i draw again?

in the moment of writing, i've designed 38 monthly monsters, over the span of the past 3 years. right now i'm really feeling the urge to draw some of them again, and i would love to hear your suggestions of which designs you think i should revisit. so:

which old MOTM designs do you want to see new art of? please comment below!

(the last 6 monsters of 2020 are blurred because those pieces haven't been publicly released yet, but $5+ patrons can see the full...

EARLY ACCESS: toothy lover // nsfw

slowly and gently working himself all the way inside.

with this, i'm revisiting another previous MOTM design -- the sabertoothed horror of march 2020! after over three years of designing monthly monsters, this guy is one of my personal favourites and i really enjoyed painting him again. the teeth growing all over his body still makes me mildly uncomfortable, but i think that's part of his eldr...

OC SPOTLIGHT: Poll for MAY

which one of these characters should i write about in may? you can vote for up to 3 options!

(this month, my partner kubi is going to write an OC spotlight about logan's lover ariel, the demonic prince of lust!)

SKETCHBOOK: douchebag & bastard // nsfw

okoro and [koma] act like they don't get along, but there's no denying they're quite close. and anyway, thulani doesn't let their bickering stop him from thoroughly enjoying himself.

as explained in this post, these designs are still works in progress (especially thulani's) but i couldn't keep myself from drawing the three of them anyway. [koma] and thulani have always been a fiery couple who keep fa...

SKETCHBOOK: ughbuhwuh? // nsfw

♫ you get the beeest of both worlds ♫

full disclosure: these character designs are still very much works in progress. i've mostly figured out what okoro (the snake tattoo guy) looks like, but there's still some fine-tuning to do. on the other hand, i have absolutely no clue about thulani's appearance -- he's the one on the very bottom. this look is 100% just a placeholder -- he's actually a rhaajim with water magic, so he should look way mo...

Monster of the Month: Poll for MAY

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

all these design prompts are based on patron suggestions! shout-out to nak (the toothfairy); toreadorkable (music) + ciyu (two complementary monsters) = "adagio & allegro"; ky (the jersey devil); ariana dawnhawk (spirit of a cave river); and bees (what lurks on the horiz...

SKETCHBOOK: oni orcs !!! // sfw

so i heard you like beefy boys...

when me and kubi started worldbuilding our desert empire setting (about 6 years ago) we decided that there's orcs. we always wanted our orcs to be different from textbook portrayals a la lord of the rings, though, so we characterised them more like warrior poets with a taste for art and culture.

but it's only recently that we decided to draw inspiration from oni. it helped us figure out not only what our orcs look like, but also motivated...

March MOTM: Saint of a Distant Galaxy - painting process video // nsfw

watch the process video for the march MOTM painting by downloading the .mov file attached below!

the best part of this whole process was that the day i did the sketch, i was so ... in tune with how anatomy works? i'm sure other artists know the feeling. some days it's like you've forgotten everything you ever learned about drawing bodies (or any other subject) and you struggle to pro...

March MOTM: Saint of a Distant Galaxy - concept sketch + design commentary // sfw

thanks again to lostmisfits for suggesting a MOTM theme based on the aesthetic of galaxies!

as with many other prompts i broke this one down into its constituent parts, because it helps me get a better idea of what kind of design elements might be "necessary" to get the relevant theme(s) across.

the first component of this prompt is "saint." the meaning thereof might go without saying, but merriam-webster defines this word as "one officially recognized especially ...

March MOTM: Saint of a Distant Galaxy ("sketch") // sfw

so um. my hand is cramping. a lot. 

i clearly went way overboard with this "sketch," and turned it into a full-fledged drawing with a pretty insane amount of detail. it shows a different side of this saintly space monster than what we saw in the painting, directly based on bejewelled catacomb saints. it was oddly therapeutic to draw, but my hand really needs a rest now lol.
