Skullgirls Mobile, Squigly Origin Story Illustration

Here's Squigly facing off against her mother Selene and father Roberto in the events 14 years ago. Family squabble going out of control lol. Other heroes of New Meridian at the time come to join the battle! 

One of the reasons for the delays on Patreon was due to work on SG Mobile. Which is cool, it's neat to be able to get more content  and work on stuff for Skullgirls in general. The illustration was done at a bit of a frantic pace, but it was fun to work on.

Nessa illustration

Nessa was a close second on the recent poll, and it made me realize that I hadn't posted the existing Nessa illustration I have on Patreon.

So, here's the one I did so far (though yes, what I meant was a new illustration for the poll of course, I had a few in plan that I was going to do if she won- I may still try to if time)

I'll post the process video and psd for the Visionary Tier too!

Angel- winner of character illustration poll

I'm going to do more sketches to choose from, but here are some initial drawings I have for Angel so far. She's fun to draw, I definitely will try some actiony stuff too.

It was a close poll and actually I kinda want to draw all of the other characters anyway too lol, but I will of course prioritize Angel first based on the poll results.

Thanks to everybody who participated! 

Do you think the next poll should be a new set of characters, or characters from previous polls...

Illustration Poll

I'm going to open up the illustration voting to all of the Patreon tiers for this one, and the voting window will be a bit smaller, so that I can catch up to the current month. I'll say that we'll have till Monday for this poll.

If I checked on this correctly, this should be July's illustration. I apologize that it's been rather delayed, July always ends up being an insane month due to the conv...

June Patreon Poll Illustration- D. Violet and Midnight

Hi guys!


Whew! Finally finished the character illustration from June, and will start on the July poll next. I'm sorry that it took so long and am currently still a bit behind, Anime Expo, SDCC, and freelance work after SDCC (primarily the SG Mobile Squigly Origin story art- check it out when you get a chance! I may post more of it on the Patreon as well) kept me backlogged pretty bad, but I should be able to catch up soon. I might be behind on August, but I'll try to catch up...

Fallout nuclear bikini outfit sketches

Trying out the gallery feature on Patreon! Let's see how this turns out.

Anyway, these are the sketches I did of Fallout leading up to the image I used for the SDCC postcard.

I might try to finish a few of them at some point, always fun to do some summer time bikini pics, after all~

Thanks!

SDCC 50th Year Postcard!

I've always wanted an excuse to draw Fallout posing in front of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant, due to the dumb visual gag element of its.. very distinct architecture lol. It's always a very noticeable landmark during the road trip from LA to San Diego, and seems thematically appropriate for Fallout in at least a couple of ways oho.

 I figured the 50th year anniversary of SDCC was as apprpriate of a time as any! 

Anyway, I'm posting the image in the Observer Tier for...

D. Violet x Midnight illustration WIP

Hi guys!

This is long overdue, and I'll need to get to the next poll/illustration asap. Now that Anime Expo and SDCC have finished, I'm catching up on the Patreon obligations once again.

I figured before posting anything else, I should post a WIP of the monthly illustration.

I'll have more of it ready to show soon.

Thanks for your support and understanding!

Out of the Spiderverse (up close character details)

I don't post enough for the Observers tier, so in the meantime I wanted to share some of the isolated character details of the Spiderverse piece. Since they were made from separate elements put together, each one is more or less a completed image (except for where the webbings cut off in some of them)- so I figured it might be neat to share that among my patrons. 

I hope you enjoy~ Thanks! m(_)m

Blackbody and Fallout colored sketches

A couple of fanservicey colored pages from the Fallout RADD Roach book, I figure I could put them up here for the Visionary tier, as a thank you for your support, and as a welcome to the new members of the tier. 


The monthly illustration is a bit behind schedule due to Anime Expo and SDCC, but I'm still working on it, and will set up the poll for the next one soon as well.

RADD Roach Fallout sketch dump

Hi guys! Sorry about the lack of activity and delay on illustrations- I've been swamped with Anime Expo prep, the convention itself, and wind-down (as well as preparation for SDCC). July is always a hectic month for me because of these, but I'll try to keep some form of updates regularly during this time.

The D. Violet / Midnight illustration is being worked on, and I'll have a WIP on here soon. I may get caught up in the SDCC preparation, but I'll try to have something to show.

May Poll Online Exclusive Illustration! Molly and Roxie

It took a bit to finish it, but here is the May Poll Illustration.

Sorry about the slight delay! Working on Skullgirls mobile assets offset my schedule slightly, and I'm still in the process of synching up the illustrations to the proper month.

Here's an alternate BG, and a cropped detail more focused on Molly and Roxie.

Crypto Critter Sketches / WIPs

This past Saturday was Pin Pal Palooza at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra. It was a small but packed event, and a lot of fun. Thank you to those who were able to stop by!

On the topic, I had these crypto-critter cute cryptid pin designs on sale there, and I figure for today's post, I could show some of the sketches that went into making it. 

Plus, the particular page with the sketches has some weird examples of other mutants/characters in the RADD Roach / Fallout story.
