Couldn't sleep, thought it's not only been a good while since I posted anything, but also since Missy has had a standalone pic, and I figured a pinup with her and Lucy (just to name a few) for North Rising would be fun, along with little bios and stats too! Expect an update very soon, made considerable progress since the draft stage.
God it's gonna be one long ass day for me, mentally and physically... Wish me luck, y'all!
"According to official sources, there have been no reports of an SR-71 Blackbird ever being downed by the Russians... But what if one actually HAD been captured? What would that have entailed? Well, one Blackbird can tell you just what would have happened..."
I'm so happy to finally get this rolling. I know I'm taking on quite a load by doing this and North Rising in tandem, but I really want to get this out while the drive is still there. Five ye...
Scheduled post here.
Making some speedy progress with this, we should have the final very soon. >:3
I also added and changed a few things. For one, her expression is a bit different, the flag is a little more centered, and there's another guest in the background too, after a last minute edit to the story.
I've been sitting on this idea for a good, long time now, with an old prototype cover back on FA https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16993722/
(God that old style is painful to look at >.<)
Now that i have juices going again for it, I'd rather try and get it out now than wait for it to sit and grow stale again. It's undergone a number of revisions over the last 5-6 years, but I think I've finally s...
As usual, just a hair late on my end, but your pledges have all been processed, and I've sent out links to the rewards folder! Once more, people, your support is greatly appreciated! <3
And yes, you read right! I'm going to be working on a new comic in tandem with North Rising, centered around Shandra! More details will be in the actual cover page post!
Ugh, FINALLY got it done. What was really killing me with this image were the buildings in the background, trying to find a means of making them quick and easily, but I think I've finally come up with a means of doing so!
Another thing that really slowed my progress was all the training I've been doing the last few months... In addition to losing the original plot for this (thankfully I rewrote it all, and think it's a little more compelling).
I should be back on a normal schedu...
Sped on through the linework stage and jumped right to the final product. Quite amused with how this turned out. x3
It features a new linework and shading method. Just looks so much cleaner, don't it? :D
The comic page, which should be next very soon, will be featuring some of these new shading styles.
Caved into yet another meme. Sailor Moon? More like Sailor TYPHOON! *crickets*
Hey y'all, I'm still alive here. Sorry I have been slow as far as art goes, I've started some stuff, but I just need to retain the drive to finish them. Things have been a bit rough here the last several days, but thankfully it looks like it may be ending soon. Still no word of when I'm shipping out, sadly. D:
The comic page is almost done, still got a few things to touch up with it. In addition to th...
So sorry this took so long y'all, been super busy with stuff over on my end, but it's official, I'm done with my training! So I may have a little more time on my hands in the near future, and should be able to work on these a little more often!

Sorry this took so long, more Army stuff on my end, plus, been in a real block as far as art goes over here.
Should also note that I did a clean, fresh install on my computer, and in doing so, I evidently forgot to migrate some files over to an external drive, and lost these files. Among these files were the original story drafts for North Rising, but I actually managed to rewrite them over the last week, and I think this new take on the story offers a little more story and depth than...
This one took a little while, but it's done! There will be an alternate version available in the rewards pack. Nothing much, but it'd be Chris without the vest.

Okay, so apparently I lost the file for the latest version of the first page, and I was forced to start over again at a certain point... I honestly could have rolled with the saved page I had earlier, but I saw a few things I wanted to tune up.
THANKFULLY, however, it was just the shading I had to redo. So, I took this opportunity to try a new style of shading for the sake of time, and also touch up the page a little bit with the aforementioned features. Some are very subtle, but some ...
And so it REALLY begins now! I was actually done with this page a while now, but I was doing everything I could to check and make sure everything was right and ready before going live with it. Of course, I don't want to kill myself over one page, especially when it's literally page friggin one!
Anyway, here we've got a trio of North Korean MiGs flying south to deliver some propaganda leaflets, and stir up a little chaos!
Made tremendous progress in the last day and a half! You're looking at a slightly older version right now, and the final version should be ready very soon!
And so it begins, y'all! I was a little apprehensive about this whole opening scene because not a whole lot happens for the next few pages, mostly development, but things are also gonna speed up real quick too...
Aaand this page and the next few might take a bit, as they involve some mildly sophisticated backgrounds (funny since it's supposed to be a story of planes in the air). But you'll see shortly! I'll see what I can do this weekend.
Well, I was barely able to get much of this done over the week and weekend, as some numbnuts ruined most of our free time and it's led to one formation after another, including a so-called "Gi Party", which was so freaking fun. Ugh...
So it's why this looks a wee bit rushed too. I'll add and correct a few more details a little later down the road.
Nighty night y'all!
Apart from working on the comic, I've been in a little bit of a dry spell over here. So I am browsing through my gallery, my old stuff in particular, and I see a bunch of stuff that... Really didn't age too well in my books. One image in particular of my wolf-dog, Chris, at the track in his PTs, as he's getting eyed up by two other jogging soldiers. From 2011.

So apparently some of you all didn't get links to the rewards packs. Fear not, I'll resend the link to y'all asap. I was in a hurry that morning I sent them out, and evidently Patreon had some work done on their patron manager in the last six months, so I may have missed something. Stand by!
2020-02-28 01:43:47 +0000 UTC View PostA bit late on all of this, but Tier 2 pledges have definitely been processed and thus the rewards have been sent! I really do appreciate the support y'all, even as I was away for Basic training. <3
I got some stuff coming up soon, stand by later today or this weekend!
In the near future, North Korea is back to it's usual shenanigans; weapons testing, trash-talking anyone and everyone calling them out for their antics, one in particular sending Frames south of the border to harass small towns. Strategic patience is over, and one night, two F-22 Raptor Frames, Lt. Melissa "Missy" Chase and Cpt. Lucinda "Lucy" Harding have been dispatched to intercept and teach the trespassers a l...

Coming along nicely over here! I've got the colors in the works as we speak, and should be ready before the weekend is out!

(Posting this before morning PT y'all!)
Well folks, here is the cover to the next thing coming! I may be bringing additional teasers too later on.
As the title and image implies (and as some of you may know), it will feature Missy and Lucy, F-22 Raptors, going up against North Korean MiGs in a moonlit dogfight.
I first began test sketches for this during the first pages of NYS2 back in 2016, then it all snowballed into a comic idea. Originally? North Rising WAS going to b...
And it's finished, y'all! I'll get to working on a description after class today, and get it uploaded over on FA!

Took a while to complete the final linework, for this, but alas, I expected to have personal time cut considerably. I hate it, but it comes with the package for now. Plus, I have been diverting some focus to other works too that we'll see in due time!
Anyway, I gotta crash. Real early day coming up. Night y'all!
Here's one of the works I said I had in progress for y'all! Shandra at Area 51 during an undisclosed point in time between the late 70s and early 80s, being accompanied by two strapping Marine Corps F-4 Phantoms!
2019-12-31 16:02:26 +0000 UTC View PostI'm back, everyone, and have I got some stuff in the works for y'all. My time in the Army is not just gonna make putting time to the side for drawing a bit tricky, but it will teach me to ration my time a little more wisely and how to focus on a certain image before doing another.
It's gonna be an interesting year, y'all, and a kinky one too. >:3
Sadly, no New Year's themed images yet, but on that matter...
Have a safe and Happy New Ywar, everyone! :3
(GOD Patreon's mobile page support is HORRIBLE)
Hey y'all, I've suspended the patreon pledge tiers. While it might halt new pledges (i think), it apparently didn't cancel the charge cycle, so you'll all have to probably cancel your subscriptions manually if y'all want.
Anyway, tomorrow is the day for me! Shipping out to the next chapter in my life. 10 weeks of no internet is gonna be interesting too!

2019-09-23 17:48:15 +0000 UTC View PostYour pledges have all been processed and the rewards have been sent! Thank you all, your support has been greatly appreciated.
And I really do mean it when I say "thank you". It's been an interesting two-some odd years (mostly fun), and you all really helped lift some strain off my back with your support.
I know I didn't draw as often, but I'm glad you all enjoyed what I put out regardless.
I've decided that instead of closing my Patreon page down next week, I'll be leavi...
Gonna drop this before I hit the hay.
If my last post were any indicator to what is on my mind lately, here be some of the monochrome images I've been working on lately as a result. I've grown to really enjoy doing these too, as they're largely quick and easy to do up. With some, the whites and blacks are appropriated where I can apply a color overlay sometime in the future!
Most are relevant to what's going on in my head lately. I'll be expanding on the stories for some of thes...
Hey y'all, sorry for the delay in arts, I've been focusing on getting set for a big new chapter in life lately. I haven't been able to get any artwork 100% done. I have something coming though before the rewards go out. I've gotten some sketches and monochrome works done, but those will come shortly.
I've been meaning to post this here for a few weeks now, but it's slipped my mind. >.<
In case some of you haven't seen my FA journal, as of the 8th this month, I have...
