March Patron sketch: "Boob chart."

Took longer than I thought, but here it is!   Clothed version on display, and there's a nude version attached to this post.  

(Tip:  Don't look at it unless you want to see it.)

I've actually been meaning to create turnarounds of the characters for years, but it was never the Most Important Thing.  Having it be the voted-for sketch is the perfect chance to get it done. 

  Now we actually have- at last- body patch references and turna...

Streaming time!

Beware spoilers- I'm streaming the shading for a Prelude that's a few installments down the road.

Thank you so much for the support this month!

Monthly Sketch selected- Boobs galore!

Hey everyone!

The voting is over- and it was a close race this time around, two very formidable contenders.   But in the end, the internet would not be denied the opportunity to bust things up.   

I'll be drawing a "boob chart" of the cast for this month's sketch.  I'll be sure to tag the post NSFW, so everyone who enjoys it is doing so on purpose.   

In other news- we're hosting a mini-contest on Deviantart, an Easter Egg...

Monthly Sketch: Suggestion time!

It's that time- the monthly sketch is imminent.  What would you guys like to see?

While I'm here, thank you again to everyone for your generous support.    I probably sound like a broken record, and I don't think the text adequately transfers the feeling I have.    Having this layer of stability from Patreon is making it so much more feasible to try making a ...

Prelude 314 PSD file

The file wouldn't attach to the previous post for some reason, so we're trying again!  If this one fails, I may conclude that there's a file size limit, and this one exceeds it...  If that's the case, I'll delete this post, get a google drive link, and be back to share that when it's ready.  8 )

Score Track 05 + Monthly Sketch

This week's song is Lilith's theme, from the Dreamkeepers score:   http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/nikolasalbrecht

And it pairs well with the Patron-voted monthly sketch- a vignette of what might have happened, if circumstances had allowed Lilith and Bast to keep their date in the graphic novel saga.

In fact, this well could have happened- if only Cuddles hadn't pounced on Namah in Volume 1.  ...
