Yoga Ball Stretches - Full size

Based on people's feedback, I've decided to start posting some of my unfinished sketches and WIPs to show that, yes, I am in fact still alive and trying to make things. 

Here we have Katie doing a bit of stretching with a yoga ball. This piece is from a study session I was doing with references so the pose is not completely original.  (Also an excuse to draw yoga pants because yoga pants)

Katie Twin tails - High Res

While trying to get back into the swing of drawing, I got requested by a friend to draw Katie in twin tails and thigh highs.

Twitter OC Meme - Full Size

I recently put out a callout for mutuals on Twitter to send me refs of their OCs to draw. I unfortunately didn't get much of a turnout, but I decided to try my best to sketch up the ones who sent in something!

Shina's Workout Top

My friend Daigo was feeling a little down so I figured I would post a sketch I did for him the other day of his lovely Shina trying on a new workout top (unfortunately for her it's hard to find any that fit well). 

Daigo has been a huge inspiration for my work, helping me to improve my anatomy and art skills over the years. I don't know where I'd be as an artist without his help.

Las Lindas - Chalo's Comfy Cow Cuddles

When Alej and Toots finally got together in Chalodillo's amazing Las Lindas comic, I knew I had to draw something of their adorable pairing at some point. I can pretty much guarantee there will be more Las Lindas crew fanart in the future. They're far too great not to!

Friendly Flexin' - Full Sized

 
When you work out together, sometimes you just have to challenge each other to a flex off.

The Nightmare Before Christmouse - Halloween 2018 Full Size

After so long not posting anything, here I've come with a Halloween treat! Sam and Katie have decided to dress as some of their favourite spooktober characters; Sam Skellington and... Satie.... Kally.... *cough*

Either way! It feels good to be sketching again. Hopefully there will be more on the way soon!

The Warrior Ares - Full Sized

Another piece done for Kaliboo, this time of her tribal sabertooth, Ares. I had promised I would draw Ares ages ago, but instead I drew her other character Clarissa. Twice. 

So to make up for it I started on this sketch of Ares... which then went a wee bit further than a sketch. My hand slipped?

Shizue Rough Animated Portrait - Full Size

A tie-in to the last post, I had also started a rough animation of Shizue's character but like with the sketch, never got around to finish it. Rather than leave it gathering dust on my hard drive I figured I would share it with you all!

Shizue Portrait Sketch - Full Size

Since it's Shizue's birthday today I figured I would post this sketch I did for her last year but then completely forgot about! 

Cute girls in glasses is definitely something I need to draw more of!

Ares WIP - Full Sized

To make up for the lack of art lately, have a sneak  work in progress of a piece I've been working on for a friend's sabertooth gal! 

And speaking of lack of art, I do want to apologize for not posting anything last month. There were a lot of family health issues that had to be dealt with and it ended up putting aside my time for drawing. 

That said, I do have both request pieces for last month and the month before in the works so you should be seeing them soon!

Of Pearls and Lace - Full Sized

A gift for Kaliboo of her classy Clarissa in some lacy lingerie. Done as  a sort of early/belated birthday present (early because I started it months ago, and belated because I missed her birthday anyways), I had fun working on this and trying some new things, particularly with the hair.

The lingerie and posing was based off a series of images Kaliboo had wanted to see Clarissa styled after.

Back From Vacation!

As the title suggests, I am back from vacation! I was off in Hawaii with my family for a month, doing everything from hiking, snorkeling, zip lining, and even flying an ultralight! It was a great time and my first real vacation in almost 7 years.


Because of this, and because the place I was staying at had terrible internet, I haven't been able to do much in the way of art or posting updates. But now that I am back I plan to get back into art and animation in a strong way! I have ple...

Update & Changes to Monthly Requests

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been very active on here this month. I've actually been in Hawaii since the end of February and for most of that time my internet at the hotel didn't work. Haha But with only 5 days before I get back home I wanted to get your thoughts on the monthly requests. Over the last few months I've noticed most of the people pledging don't take advantage of the monthly requests, and those that do rarely send more than one request a month. So my questions are: 1. How w...

February Patreon Request - Pancakes! Full Sized

The winner of this month's Patreon request image is Kaiden, featuring their character Quinton serving up some pancakes to the resident cooking masters, Cinn and Bunn.

How he got into their kitchen no one knows, but if he cooks well enough the twins may just give him a pass.

White Shadow in Noir - Full Size

A while ago Funky and I had a talk about how a film noir style cover of White Shadow would look. I've never tried drawing in a rougher style like this before, but it was an interesting challenge and I feel I've learned a lot.

Katie's Hoodie - WIP

Another WIP of Katie which I've never gotten around to finishing properly. This time featuring her in a hoodie and not much else.

A Page of Katies - WIP

I know a lot of people are always interested in seeing the sketches and works in progress of my art, so despite my reluctance to show unfinished work, here is a page of Katie sketches I had done a while back but never got around to finishing.

If there are any on this page you would personally like to see finished at some point, definitely let me know!

January Patreon Request - Peaches! Full Sized

The winner of this month's Patreon request image is SlippingOnCoffeeBeans, featuring their character and an armload of peaches!

I had a lot of fun working on this sketch, and it was interesting drawing a character outside of my usual cast. Also it turns out I need to practice drawing digitigrade feet more.

Happy New Year 2018! - Full Sized

Since Cinn, Bunn, and Evan missed out on the Christmas celebrations, they've decided to throw their own New Years party! Or at least Cinn and Bunn decided to throw a party and dragged Evan along with them. 

A quick-ish sketch to bring in the new year. I hope you all have a great 2018 full of success and accomplishments!
