"May Daze!" May Illustration Poll Images~ (Spectator and Observer version)

May's poll is a continuation of the A'peril theme~! The top 8 choices after Samus (so 2nd place to 9th place) are the choices for this month's illustration!

The choices are:

Ryuko, Maylgeiz, April O'Neil, Juri, Fallout, Bae Wulf, Frauleinstein, Fiona Belli

The preview images / WIP sketches are mostly the same for each of these characters, except Ryuko, Maylgeiz, and Bae Wulf have extra images! (the new Ryuko and Maylgeiz are in an earlier post too, but I figured that I should include them here too). The new images are in this post, as well as in the zip files.

This is the Visionary version of the post, though the new files are the same in both this and the Spectator / Observer set.

Samus vs Ridley process video + PSD + bonus sketch videos!

Here is the process video for the Samus vs. Ridley illustration, plus more videos, and the PSD!

Samus vs. Ridley- Game Over!

Here's the main version of the Samus peril illustration! I'll do more variations next, but I wanted to post this before the month ends.

[edit: I forgot to add the Ridley variant in here too, added to the images!]

Omega Strikers! Asher, Juno, and Luna~

An illustration of Asher, Juno and Luna from Omega Strikers! The Switch version came out today, and I did this illustration to help promote it. There are so many fun designs in this game, I ended up drawing Asher's entire team aha~

I've included variants and the sketches and WIPs leading up to this illustration as well.

Check out the game here! 

And the switch version here~ 

Though also! You should check out the siiiiic opening by TRIGGER!

And apparently JP lyrics version too !

Maria "La Tormenta" from Battle Maidens!

I forgot to post this back in February, a birthday gift art of Maria from Battle Maidens that I did for the incredibly cool and hardworking CrisisBeat.  

Check out CrisisBeat's Patreon here! (note: Nice Stuff, Friggin' Wow)

Actually, the post of this gift art is also really fun, and see more versions of it here :9

I also absolutely have to mention the gift he gave me for my birthday that month was simply AMAZING, You've got to see it!

 
(And check out all of these other gifts I got to, I have to show these off again while talking about it) 

(And here too~!) 

Also, super belated addition to the collection, a really sexy easy on the eyes Maylgeiz pic from OL connoisseur, Bigdad  (Neat Style For Woooo) !

I feel bad about the slight lull in update, I actually think I can assemble a few more updates in the meantime very soon, but the conundrum of the time taken to make the update vs. the time finishing the main one lol...

There will be one more update in between though, if things are going according to schedule. I've been kind of doing a whole chain of illustrations on the to-do list in a row, to the point that I almost forgot that I did some earlier in the chain LOL My brain is getting a bit wiped with each gear change. But making progress is nice !!

Drawing Requests done on stream for Pen Pals Forever KS Campaign!

There are just 12 hours left for the KS Campaign for PuccaNoodle's animated short "Pen Pals Forever"

There is a final stream in progress right now, you can check it out here:

https://www.twitch.tv/puccanooodles 

And the KS campaign here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/puccanoodles/pen-pals-forever-an-animated-pilot-by-marie-lum?ref=project_link 

I had done some drawing requests earlier on as part of promotion for the campaign, and I figure that I should share these before it ends~!

See the rest of the steam requests and drawings here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jqbT6DNRzWsLxutbDR5DWsOkaDyxSMX7 

I apologize, I tried to get the citations for the request source, but because I wasn't on twitch directly, I didn't see the original post requests for all of them. Feel free to chime in if you happen to be one of the requesters seeing this, or know any sources

Either way, I'll go through here too:

top image: Maki doodle!

1st image: Warm up with Maki !!

2nd, 3rd image: OCs from Daxen1234

4th image: Takua from Bionicles, request via KZN02!

5th image: OC - I remember this from before, but I need help for citation T^T;

6th image: Moxee, OC from Nic Parris 

7th, 8th, 9th, 10th images: Loree, Gordet, Ren, and Nyx, OCs from Eventide by jo_ofanna 

11th, 12th images: Kai, and Gabby & Veronica of Derrick Malik Johnson

13th, 14th images: OC with Max, and with Sam, from Sundae

15th image: Zaahir, OC from Wasp

16th image: Sera Richter, OC from judgemint 

17th image: cindy's cats !

It was an interesting and fun process of making drawing requests like this- I might dabble in the possibility of adding it as a perk to the Observer and Visionary tier at some point (like a random chance of a few people chosen from the list on a given day) I'll look into if that can fit well enough in the schedule.

Bonus Ryuko and Maylgeiz sketches!

I'm working on the Samus illustration next! I've got a couple of other tasks on my list this week that I also need to take care of, but making progress~

While the poll was running, I ended up doing some additional sketches:

Ryuko "vs" Gamagoori!

[Also, I forgot if I had posted this Drawpile image before, but I guess it's thematically relevant, as well!]

See the full set and uncropped versions in the zip file!

Maylgeiz

1st image: Unarmed, will she be able to survive the battle!?

3rd image: She finds herself surrounded by living armor monsters, who are determined to put her in proper armor, whether she wants to or not!

4th image: Demon Queen Gravura has penetrated Maylgeiz's defenses with her invasive tail attack!

A'peril Poll Results are IN! It's game over for Samus!

After tallying up the 3 polls and applying multipliers to each tier- with some interesting results in who led in which poll- the grand totals have led to Samus being The ... Winner? (or The Loser??) Looks like she's in trouble now~!

Here's my spread sheet for the vote count, to give you an overall sense of the results

SAMUS SKETCHES!

In this post are the Samus WIP sketches! I added a few more options, plus for the sake of collecting more Samus drawings in general, included non-peril images at the end. The peril WIPs have numbers, and the non-peril have letters.

Feel free to let me know any of which of these you'd like to see taken to completion! I have a few preferences in mind, but I like to see what you think- it can definitely influence my decision and is something I factor in.

Thanks for voting! I hope you like the poll results. It is really fascinating to look into this data in general~

Trading Card Art~!

While the poll is running, I figure I could share some small posts along the way!

At conventions that I'll be attending, I will have trading cards available. It's mostly to trade with other artists who happen to have them too, as a fun side project, but also if I have extras (which I should have quite a few of, I'd think) I'll probably hand them out to Patrons who are able to stop by (or other ways to use them)

FYI, the conventions I know that I will be at this year so far are:

Fanime, Anime Expo, San Diego Comic Con.

Others to be determined.

Either way, at least I figure it'd be fun to share the images here~

A'peril Poll! (Spectator Tier version)

April's poll is peril themed!  And of course, the front lady for this month's poll is none other than April O'Neil~

All of these characters I have WIP sketches from (ironically except for April), and you can see the previews / WIPs here:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/aperil-poll-set-81403629

The poll will run until 1AM (PST) April 18

https://www.patreon.com/posts/aperil-poll-set-81403204

A'peril Poll Images (Spectator Set!)

April's poll will be peril themed! I have a lot of peril-related WIPs in my collection, so a few of them are here. In fact, depending on the winning character, there may be more WIPs to decide on at that time. However, this set should give a fairly comprehensive example of what to expect.

Even though I don't have anything WIP for April herself, she just seemed like she would have to be the front of this set and this month, after all haha~

I'm posting these first, so the links are ready for the polls, which I'll be posting as soon as I post the image sets. Like last month, it will be 3 separate polls for each tier, with different weights to the tier voting. I.e. Visionary has the highest voting power

Also, the Visionary set has the uncropped versions of certain images, whereas the Spectator set has only the cropped versions (of which you can see posted here) Download the ZIP files for the spectator set!

Bun-Li PSD and process video~

Here's the PSD and process video~

Bun-li for Easter!

Originally was going to do this for her birthday in March, but seems like a good enough time for today! More bunny action later today potentially, but just in case, I figure it'd be fun to share this one~

Cammy illustration PSD and process videos

Here is the Cammy illustration PSD! I've also included the process videos for the sketches, as well as the PSDs for each sketch this time, so you can see how it goes from raw sketch into the more cleaned up ones that I normally post.

Cammy raw sketches

I figured it might be fun to also share the raw sketches for March's illustration here~ 

You can also see the more cleaned up / extracted sketches in this previous post:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/cammy-sketches-80848376

Cammy vs Juri!

Here's the completed Cammy illustration + variants! 

I apologize for March's delay, my schedule was really tough last month, and this would have at least been done a few days ago, but I was out of town for family related events. Anyway, I'm aiming to get back on track in April. This month's poll will be up very soon as well.

Cammy sketches!

Whew... this month has been kicking my butt! I've been back from Wondercon, but had to lock down on getting the sketches together. I was having a bit of trouble getting something satisfactory, so I ended up doing a bunch of sketches by the end. 

Several takes on spiral arrows, cannon spikes, delta throws, stretch poses haha... 

Because of requests and her position as second place in the poll, Juri is often the punching (kicking?) bag / sparring partner in a few of these pics!

For the sake of time, I'm going to go ahead with one of these images and start now.(check the zip file for the full set! There are quite a few this time around! Patreon has a 30 image post limit, so I couldn't show all of them here.) 

BUT, I always am curious to hear which ones you like the most! That may influence what I end up going with (or, at least, I'm going to hope that I guessed right haha..) Do you have any favorites / preferences here?

Speaking about Wondercon- Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by!! I'll say something more proper on the Discord once I get this month's content finished.

Thanks ! Enjoy~

Chainsaw Man! WonderCon Print early view, and variants!

Let’s go! (boob) Bersawker brrrrage!

Here’s something I put together to debut at WonderCon! Wanted to draw something Chainsaw Man related~ I’ve also included some variants and details, plus a WIP.

I’m out of town at the moment, but since I got my sketchbooks and iPad with me, I‘ll be poking at the Cammy sketches and illustrations this week as well~

Belated Birthday Follow-up Post!

I’d been meaning to make this post a little while ago, but while I’m working on this month’s content, plus a handful of other things going on this month, I figure I should share some of the additional fun images I had gotten for my birthday! A few came in since my initial post, and they were so cool, I had to make this follow-up to show them off!

(I’m out of town right now and posting this via my iPad, which I’m not used to doing at all, so I apologize if there are any formatting hiccups. It’s quite a lot for me to figure out on this thing ugh)

Sorry about my sparse updates lately, I’ve been juggling a couple of things this month, but I’m making a proper post right now as well! But, I’m glad to share these fun gifts I got last month as well. Thank you to everyone who gave gifts~ m(_)m I really appreciate it!

WINNER: CAMMY!

Hi! Sorry about the delayed poll results post! It's been a bit hectic this March, getting ready for WonderCon as well as other tasks, BUT I've tallied up the votes. This time around, experimented with weighted votes- I'll break down the numbers here, it's really quite fascinating~ In the end, Cammy gained a solid lead, but good numbers overall, and of these would be fun to do, but yeah, looking forward to getting some Cammy sketches/illustration going ~

Here's the voting numbers and total tally:

VISIONARY TIER x3 

Chun-li - 9

Kimberly - 3

Juri - 13

Marisa - 6

Manon - 8

Lily - 6

Cammy - 11

OBSERVER TIER x2

Chun-li - 12

Kimberly - 8

Juri - 13

Marisa - 5

Manon - 9

Lily - 8

Cammy - 25

SPECTATOR TIER x1

Chun-li - 11

Kimberly - 9

Juri - 7

Marisa - 7

Manon - 7

Lily - 6

Cammy - 11

Chun Li

9(x3) + 12(x2) + 11 = 62

Kimberly

3(x3) + 8(x2) + 9 = 34

Juri 

12(x3) + 13(x2) + 7 = 69 (nice)

Marisa

6(x3) + 5(x2) + 7 = 35

Manon

8(x3) + 9(x2) + 7 =  49

Lily

6(x3) + 8(x2) + 6 = 40

Cammy

11(x3) + 25(x2) + 11 = 94 !!

And with that, I'll be doing a Cammy illustration! I had one in mind already that I was going to post- but in addition to that, it'll be fun to do more~

Thanks to everyone who voted! m(_)m

March Poll! SF6! (repost)

(APOLOGIES... I really hate the Poll-making format on Patreon, had to restart the poll to allow for multiple options)

this is the 46th poll apparently? Tempted to say Street Fourty Six haha... but didn't put that in the poll title just in case I miscounted.

ANYWAY, relatively self explanatory theme to this month's poll- now that all of the base roster for Street Fighter 6 was announced officially, I figure it'd be a fun one to put up.

Voting will go until Saturday March 11, 1AM (PST)!

I will do weighted voting again, so I'm making one of each of these per tier. Higher tiers have higher voting power!

ADMIRABLE OCTAVIA vs LA NIÑA PSDs and process videos

The process videos is mostly just the initial sketches and rough layouts, though you can see a lot of the structure in the psd files~

ADMIRABLE OCTAVIA vs LA NIÑA (part 3 of 3)!

Part 1:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/admirable-vs-la-79383045 

Part 2:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/admirable-vs-la-79386317 

The conclusion to the wet and wild wrestling match between the torrential soul La Niña and the maritime muscle Admirable Octavia!!

----

For a while, La Niña was giving Admirable Octavia the ol' slip n' slide treatment, and even started to get under her skin (and hat!). 

But in the end, La Niña wasn't ready for the challenger's deep, and sank into the abyss!

----

This was a bit of an experiment! I ended up thinking that I could combine my sketch session with some direction into making it into a sequence. However, I think adding flat color across all of them added extra time (plus the short month, as well)

Also, it was an opportunity to warm up the gears for making sequential work more properly, with fights and dialogue in mind. It's fun to dabble in again, and I will be making more of this kind of content in the future, from time to time. I wanted to get the hang of it again, plus get a sense of production time, and which parts are faster and which parts could use adjustment.

The zip file includes variants (I ended up making a handful of variants for the winner image anyway, so it's kind of like a bonus illustration, in a way), and WIPs. Plus parts 1 and 2, so you can look through it in sequence!

ADMIRABLE OCTAVIA vs LA NIÑA (part 2 of 3)

[edit] NEXT -> https://www.patreon.com/posts/admirable-vs-la-79534311 

The battle continues! La Niña summons her Body of Water, but will she be able to wash out Admirable Octavia!?
