Bicep-tember Reward Vote 2! (Select your stage!)

The second poll will determine the setting/environment and overall theme of the pic! Certain pairings may require a bit more finessing depending on which character wins, but I'll try to stick with the theme outlined as best as possible!

Same rules as the other poll, you can vote for as many settings as you like, and all patrons, regardless of support tier, get to vote this month!

End time is the same as well, Saturday, 15:00 PDT (23:00 UTC)!

Bicep-tember Reward Vote! (Choose your character!)

The first poll for the Bicep-tember reward is here! First off is selecting a character! If they're not normally buff (like most of the fan characters listed in the second half), they will be made buff. How buff is to be determined (if a fan character wins I will likely have another rapid poll to determine their size), but any of my characters will be made however buff I'm feeling like the...

Snapshot Saturday - September 3

Howdy Patrons!

Not a ton to show today as far as volume goes, namely because a lot of piece were pretty polished. The kind of tradeoff you like to see!

This week a good amount of time was spent on wrapping up the adoptable kobold auction that recently wrapped up. Happy to report that all of the kobolds sold, which I was honestly not sure was going to happen initially (since this was the first time I'd done adoptables). The buyer for Aspen wanted some of her design reworked, mostly...

Bicep-tember Reward Suggestion Post!

Greetings Patrons!

It's a new month and I've recently rebranded, so lets get to it!

September! Depending on where you land in the various art fandoms, it's either the month for drawing snakes, snow leopards, or... something else that's a play on words.

Well apparently I'm known for drawing muscular characters? So we're going with Bicep-tember! (Shocking, I know.)

We're going to be doing things a little differently this month, to celebrate the rebrand (even though it wa...

Snapshot Saturday... on a Sunday... Again! - August 28

I keep forgetting what day of the week it is when it's Saturday apparently. So we've got another snapshot update on Sunday instead!

This week has been busy with a number of things, notably finally shipping the adoptable kobold designs out to the public. I'm happy to report that they all have bids so far, so I'm glad there was at least enough interest to get them sold! I'm excited to see what the total interest is at the end of the auction though, as it'll likely be the determining facto...

Patron Early Access - Adoptable Kobolds!

Greetings Patrons!

Well it took me a little longer than I expected to finish these, but I've finally completed my first batch of adoptable kobolds! And as a patron, you have the exclusive option to buy them before they go on sale publicly!

If you're interested in buying one, simply comment below! Patrons have the option to buy them at the flat rate of $75 USD. Once you purchase one, you'll have all creative rights to the character design, so you can do what you want with them! (St...

Snapshot Sunday - August 21

Got a larger snapshot post for you all today, mainly because I was out of town last weekend, so this combines this week's and last week's works!

Most prominently featured are concept sketches I did over that time frame of a new secondary/alternate sona, who I'm (rather unsurprisingly) naming Onyx for now. In their current iteration, they're a dragon/kobold mix, and take several design queues from Brock's design (black horns, angular stripes, and a mohawk like mane/hairstyle to name a fe...

Snapshot Saturday - August 6

Hey there Patrons!

So again, if you were paying attention to my Twitter, you'll know that I've been slow to get back into being able to do art stuff what with everything going on in my life lately. This last week was the first one where I was able to get some times that felt like I was able to be productive and creative, but it still wasn't back to what it normally was, as you can probably tell from the small update!

That all said, I'm glad to be getting back into the swing of thi...

Brock the Pirate is now Onyx Pirate!

Greetings everyone! 

As some of you might already know, I'd been contemplating the idea of renaming and rebranding myself for quite some time, and I've decided to finally pull the trigger and make the change! From now on, I'll be going by Onyx Pirate instead of Brock the Pirate! Though for now you can still call me Brock as a name. ;)

So why the name change? Well it's for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, I just wasn't really feeling the name anymore. "Brock" isn...

Quick Update and Annoucement

Hey folks.

If you've been paying attention to my Twitter you'll know that the last couple weeks have been a bit of a struggle. Just wanted to post here to let you know that I'm slowly managing to get back into being able to get work done, but there won't be any additional updates for July.

Updates, including art packs and weekend snapshot posts, will start back up in August. I'll also be renaming and rebranding that month as well (I was initially planning to do that last week, but...

June 2022 Art Pack (Full-Res)

Here's the Full-res monthly art packs for June 2022! This was a slower month for art, but what's lacking in drawing volume is made up for by breast volume! This month has a good amount of busty content, including a character illustration of Mona, and sketches of Zahra, Caliza, and Vallory all sporting an impressive rack! Enjoy!

June 2022 Art Pack (High-Res)

Here's the High-res monthly art packs for June 2022! This was a slower month for art, but what's lacking in drawing volume is made up for by breast volume! This month has a good amount of busty content, including a character illustration of Mona, and sketches of Zahra, Caliza, and Vallory all sporting an impressive rack! Enjoy!

Snapshot Saturday - July 16

Hey there Patrons!

Going to keep this post short despite the number of drawings because I have places to be in a little bit of time, but this week saw a good mix of work. From a time spent standpoint, most of it was on continuing the adoptable kobold designs, one of which had a color update and the other a minor design tweak. Unfortunately my inking on these has been a lot slower than I would like. I also spend a good chunk of time on commissions, mostly on the one for Sampomon.

T...

Snapshot Saturday - July 9

Hello there Patrons!

Small update this week largely because I decided to limit the amount of projects I was working on and didn't do a ton of extra sketches like I normally would in a week. The upshot is that I made much more progress on more polished pieces than I normally would, but the downside is that the update is pretty bare, unsurprisingly!

This week saw another character illustration finished in Brock, which is going to be used with the previous illustrations of Mona and R...

Snapshot Saturday - July 2

Greetings Patrons!

As I mentioned in my last Snapshot Saturday update, I was out of town for a little over a week at the end of June, so there was no Snapshot Saturday post that week. Unfortunately for me, I thought I would have a lot of free time to draw that week, but it turns out taking care of a new puppy is a lot more work than I expected it to be! So we're getting back into the weekly updates with what I feel is probably a lighter post than what would be expected for two weeks of ...

Snapshot Saturday - June 18

Hello again Patrons!

Almost forgot today was Saturday! Anywho, this week's art time was mostly spent on commissions, in particular for Curious Garchomp, but also some progress for RenardCross (Not pictured in the image above). I also made some additional progress on the Kobold Adoptable batch, getting a good idea for what I wanted the big green one to look like (though I'll probably tweak her markings a bit more before putting her up for sale, I think the brick look is too busy), and co...

May 2022 Art Pack (High-Res)

Here's the High-res monthly art packs for May 2022! This month is a bit on the light side, mostly featuring various sketches, but also includes a flat color pinup of Lollipop the Kobold, as well as a monotone pinup of Abby! Enjoy!

May 2022 Art Pack (Full-Res)

Here's the Full-res monthly art packs for May 2022! This month is a bit on the light side for completed works, mostly featuring various sketches, but it does include a flat color pinup of Lollipop the Kobold, as well as a monotone pinup of Abby! Enjoy!

April 2022 Art Pack (High-Res)

Here's the High-res monthly art packs for April 2022! This month included the last Kaiju Kiyoko Growth Drive pic, and a pic of Angel done as an Easter Bunny for the holiday, and a LOT of sketches! Enjoy!

April 2022 Art Pack (Full-Res)

Here's the Full-res monthly art packs for April 2022! With so many sketches I had to break them apart from the color files because Patreon's file size limit is 200 MB. This month also included the last Kaiju Kiyoko Growth Drive pic, and a pic of Angel done as an Easter Bunny for the holiday! Enjoy!

Snapshot Saturday - June 11

Hello again Patrons!

Bit late in the evening this week for the post, but we're back to posting on Saturday! This week saw work spread out over a lot of different projects. Some work was done on commissions, including the completion of Jinash's sketch page, which is posted on Twitter! That piece will be posted to galleries at a later date. I also did some work on designing some a...

March 2022 Art Pack (High-Res)

Here's the High-res monthly art pack for March 2022, which includes a majority of the Kaiju Kiyoko growth drive pictures, as well as a pic of Caliza done for St. Patrick's day, and a bunch of sketches! Enjoy!

Snapshot Saturday (Except it's Sunday) - June 5

Hey there Patrons!

Decided to take yesterday off from all things art related, just wasn't feeling the mojo, so this week's Snapshot Saturday is taking place on Sunday instead! They both start with S so it's still fine.

Another week mixed between practicing tools and working on commissions. I had a moment of realization earlier in the week when I realized that CSP had a tool to natively make custom 3D assets CSP compatible, so you can expect to see some 3D work happening in the fut...

Snapshot Saturday - May 28

Hello again Patrons!

Another "quiet" week this week, at least if we're talking from a volume standpoint! Most of the work this week was spent on commissions, and when not working on commissions, practicing perspective and further learning CSP's toolset. The colored picture of the Kobold (Her name is Lollipop!) wound up being immensely helpful in both perspective and toolset learning, as the primary work was learning about CSP's poseable 3D figures, which had a lot more functionality tha...

______ May! But you fill in the blank!

Mer-may, May-ternity, Micro May, there's a lot of options for themed content when the month starts with the letter M!

April's Monthly reward is nearing completion, so lets go ahead and get started on figuring out what to do for May! Vote for as many or as few options you'd like for a theme for the May Monthly Reward image, and then if we need to decide other things, we'll take care of it then!

Snapshot Saturday - May 21

Hey there patrons! It's time for another snapshot Saturday update!

This week was comparatively quiet to other weeks, largely due to a lot of meetings and work with the team I'm doing gamedev with, as well as focusing my art time on completing pieces rather than busting out a ton of new sketches each day. 

The main showcase for this week is the progress made on the monthly reward pic, the Kobold Lineup (Which was what I decided on as a tiebreaker, because I'm weak for kbolds. ...
