Vadim Boba Tea Challenge - Finished

And here it is, ya'll! Finished it last night, but decided to wait until day to post it. x3

I think this also helps emphasize that male aeros don't have rock-solid pecs, but also have somewhat plush ones too.

Vadim Boba Tea Challenge - Line

I'm actually very close to being done with this, expect the final version tonight or tomorrow!

Vadim Boba Tea Challenge - Draft

I gave into the memes once more, and now I've got big ol Vadim doing the iced boba tea challenge. That can't be a cup, that's gotta be a bucket!

June Rewards Folder Updatedq

I forgot to include the pics for Sam's Father's Day 2, refresh the dropbox links I sent ya'll!

June Rewards Sent

It's a bit late, but your pledges all have been processed and the rewards were sent out!

I greatly appreciate the support, people, thank you very much! <3

Flanker Twins Lana & Alina Re-Debut - Finished

And it's done, ya'll! The main image itself was finished the last few days, I just didn't get to finish the background  week. The image and it's variants will all be sent out ASAP.

Flanker Twins ReDebut - Line

Getting there folks, already working on the colors and final shading as we speak! 

Flanker Twins Lana & Alina Re-Debut - Draft

Thought I've give these two a comeback, this time with a new coat of paint (so to speak), as well as an update. For one, I changed Irina to Alina (the squatting one with The Fig gesture), and they're going to be Su-27Ms instead of simple Su-27s. x3

Originally just one-off characters for NYS2, I thought it'd be fun to make them into legit characters for my roster.

Anyway, nighty night, ya'll!

Sam's father's day 2 - (Finished)

And part 2 is done! Glad to see this one complete, I love how it turned out!
In any case, once again, this will be the last image to feature Sam's current appearance, as I have a 'redebut' in the works for him, featuring an updated design and livery.

Sam's Father's Day 2 - Line

An early head start today has given me a chance to finish the linework, but as usual, I'm a touch late for holidays. I'll try and get this done ASAP x3

Hope ya'll had a happy father's day, and had a great father's day with your fathers too!

Sam's Father's Day Pt 2 - Draft + Rewards Sent

I've actually been sitting on this draft a while now, meant to get it out sooner, but ya know. It was close to this time last year I was working on the Typhoons and a few other images that I was going to work on while on my Pennsylvania trip.

In any case, here's the sequel to the pic with Sam celebrating his father's day with some of his comrades the best way a guy can. x3

This also will be the last image featuring Sam's current appearance, as I have an update in the works for h...

Queen's Special - Finished

And it's done!
An alternate version of this will include a solo of the F-15, whom I decided to call "Ares", featuring a real-world USAF scheme. :3

Queen's Special - Line (AC7 fanart)

I actually had the linework for this done for a while now, I've just been slacking a bit lately as usual!

I've got the final colors well underway and it should be done soon!

Queen's Special - Draft (AC7 fanart) + Rewards Sent

I never put much thought into this kind of scenario cause it didn't strike a chord with me, but since playing AC7, it's kinda clicked, and here we are! Here we have an F-15, presumably a 'Spare' F-15C paying Avril, the 'Scrap Queen' a visit for the 'Queen's Custom', but seems he's there for more than just a tuneup.

I also may be turning this into a sort of debut for a new aero in my roster. BUt I might do a more proper one later, we'll see!

Soft Spot - Finished

And it's complete! I'm quite satisfied with how this turned out!

Ya'll may notice something I've been doing lately, and it's adding a very subtle grainy layer to my images, as well as giving them an even more subtle VHS effect as well. When ya'll get it in the rewards, do let me know what you think. I'll include the FX version as well so ya'll can compare.

Feng's Soft Spot (Line)

I actually had this ready for about a week, but ah, ya'll know how it is! I'm working on the final colors and shading, and it should be ready very soon!

Feng's Soft Spot (Draft)

Whipped this up a while ago, was meaning to post it a bit sooner, but I've been occupied lately, as usual. Been going over some serious life choices.

Also a little something to hold ya'll off until that new comic thing! Here we have Feng Mian enjoying some company with a little friend!

Rewards Sent + Comic Announcement.

Pledges have been processed and rewards have been sent out! Sorry this one took a bit, been focused on other things lately, and it took me a while to figure out this new interface Patron's pushed onto us. I'm getting 'Nam flashbacks of Youtube's constant page redesigns back in the 2000s.

I will also be uploading something in regards to the NYS3 comic in the near future. Another thing to note is, it will not be bearing the Not Your Sky name this time.

Heirs to his Kingdom (AC7 Pic Finished)

Hugin & Munin - Linework

Almost done, folks! Already working on the colors! 

Hugin & Munin (Draft)

I'm alive, so ya'll know! Sorry this month hasn't been that productive, had my mind on other things lately. Needless to say I've also had a bit of Ace Combat 7 on my mind as well, so thought I'd try my hand at the two prototype drones, the ADF-11F Ravens Hugin and Munin!

F-2 Twins - Mihoko & Natsuki debut (done)

Say hello to 2nd Lieutenants Natsuki Tajima and Mihoko Koyama!

Natsu and Miho were both from the same clutch of 8 the summer of 2016. Although both were raised by two separate handlers, they ended up having the uncommon pleasure of being able to serve in the same squadron together on the same base. 

Like the rest of their kin, both girls are dedicated to the defense of their island, and will ...

F-2 Twins (Line)

Meant to post this a little sooner, but here it is! I'm actually on the home stretch with this image, ya'll will see the final product soon enough! I've even come up with names for these two!

(From Left to Right) Mihoko Koyama and Natsuki Tajima!

Unnamed F-2 twins (Draft)

So I've been playing some Ace Combat 7 lately, and I've begun developing a bit of a new appreciation for the F-2 lately! A tried and true American classic with a Japanese twist!

I'll come up with names and bios for these gals soon enough!

F-22 Thot-Raptor (Finished)

And here it is, folks! Finished up. Seems Missy's not that amused with what she has to do. x3

Fixed up some parts of the linework, particularly around her left cheek and heel!

And oh yeah, Happy V-Day, folks!

Missy Sligar Meme - Line

Coming along quickly this one is! Should have this one up soon!

Missy Sligar meme - Draft

Oh lookie, Ren is meme'ing again!

So I am seeing this trend of images based on one of Sligarthetiger's works, with the M4, camo stockings and platform stilettos. Had Shandra do the Bowsette one, thought I'd have Missy fill the role this time around. Get her out more. x3

Sun's Lunar New Year

And here it is, folks! Just on time for the holiday! Score one for this slack-ass. x3

I had a little fun with the background, particularly the signs. If anyone can read it, there's jokes laid throughout this whole image. x3

I'll be uploading this to FA tomorrow!

Sun's Lunar New Year - Line

Getting there! Here's to hoping I can get this done before the 5th!
