Toffee deer $35 tier sketch

Hey guys - I'm finally able to work at almost full speed again. Be on the watch for the remaining $35 tier sketches coming up (2 for Necrodeer and 1 for Flipbunny), some comic page prep work, and sketches of the October winner!

See you all soon and enjoy the deer butt show for now <3

PS I feel (happily) that my Patreon is dominated by bunny and deer butts lol

Tags Poll / inquiry

Hey guys, I just discovered that at some point Patreon increased the maximum number of tags allowed from 5 to 50 and I have zero idea when they did that, but it leads me to the question..

Do you find tags useful? Do you ever use them to browse specific content?

Second follow up question, which specific tags would you like to see here if I revamp mine? Please let me know.

I'm gonna try to slowly re-add tags I find useful over time but it'll probably take a while to retag ever...

Falco Pinup of the Month 4K

 Hey all! Here's the finished version of the Falco pinup. I went with a BG I could imagine being inside a version of the Great Fox and had a lot of fun pushing around paint on this one.

Next pinup will be Luxray, so I'll get some sketches going for that soon soon.

Falco Pinup of the month WIP

Hey guys - Almost done with Falco's painting! Thought I'd show a little WIP of the progress before finishing up. Hopefully this gives you a little more insight into what the almost-finished stage of my paintings look like before I polish them up.

I'm actually struggling to think of a really good BG for this one - if you've got any ideas shoot them my way! If there's a really good one, I'll change up what I've got - otherwise this one will end up being a relatively generic ship interior ...

Totally Not Gay page 8 WEB version

Hey guys! I want this comic to follow our seasons a bit and thought it would be fun to play with some beautiful fall colors and warmth, and I hope you all enjoy the outcome!

I'm coming into my own with Mizuki's look and overall style and I'm pretty satisfied with this page overall.

Tomorrow I'm gonna post the vote for October's pinup and finish up Falco while the vote is up for that.

Totally Not Gay page 8 preview WIP

If you've ever wondered about my WIP process for painting - this is basically what I do most of the time! Coloring the BG goes in before the character, so when I color the character, it makes color perception a lot easier to manage. It's easier to paint a character into a background than the other way around by a lot, and I think that's true for every artist, not just myself. Doesn't mean it's the only way to go, and sometimes I'll do the opposite, but I think it's the most effective!

Patreon/commissions catch-up chart!

So, as I mentioned a few weeks back, I had a wrist injury that knocked me out for almost a full two weeks, and slowed me down for a bit afterward, and it totally kicked me off my schedule for commissions and Patreon.

I'm doing my best to catch back up on both without re-injuring myself, and here's my plan as I've got it set up currently! I want to take it at a pretty solid pace, but not as fast as what I originally injured myself doing.

Thank you guys for sticking around while I h...

Falco pinup of the month option 4

Hey guys! Final option for this month. I wanted to do even more, but I'm still trying to catch up from the injury and stuff.

Anyway, after this is uploaded I'll throw up a poll! While the poll is going over the next several days, I'm gonna finish the comic pic. After that page is fully colored, I'll finish this pinup of the month and we'll be onto October's stuff! Should be caught up with my regular Patreon schedule by the end of this month.

Falco pinup of the month option 3

Doing one more option later on this evening and then we'll do a vote between the four of them!

Trying to structure my pinups so there's plenty of focus on the primary character, but also some hot interactions between others too.

If this one wins, we can make the bottom Wolf or Fox!

New Character: Chapille!

While I'm working on coloring the next comic page and drawing some Falco stuff, have a new character I've worked on for my and my BF's story! He'll be recurring and will show up in my Patreon art from time to time. He's a grumpy cat maid who's completely obsessed with cock and although he can act tough, is totally submissive despite the grumpy exterior.

Hope you guys like his design and I'm looking forward to drawing some stuff with him relatively soon!

Falco pinup of the month option 2

I feel like in a world where everyone on the Star Fox team is gay, Falco would be an aggressive but fun dom. Fox's poor butt!

But I think he secretly likes it... Shh!

Poll: Character Contest September

Well it took me a bit to think of another good character for this, but there we go!

Vote is like normal:

$5 patrons get 1 vote, $10 patrons get 2 votes that can be split if you wish. 

I'll give the actual poll thing a try next month I think. Seems to have pluses and minuses for the process I've been doing.

Thanks guys and I'll end this contest Wednesday the 25th.

Good luck to your favorites!

Flip Bunny sketch of the month upgrade

Hi guys - still experimenting a bit with coloring style and especially with eyes/head structure. I'm trying to get things as expressive and appealing as I possibly can, so I've been going over things in my head over and over and trying out different things as I go.

Lemme know what you think of this style! It's probably what I'm gonna run with continuing the comic and a version of this will be my full illustration tier for the next while.

Character vote will be up before I head on ...

Legoshi pinup of the month 4K

Hey guys.


After a mini hiatus, my wrist is about ~90% healed, so I'm still taking it a bit easy to not reinjure it. I've got some Patreon sketches of the month to catch up on, and the character contest to do for this month. The next major uplaod will be the next comic page.

I hope you guys like this one - it was a big struggle for me artistically, and I kind of took a little depart from my normal style a bit to combine it with the one in the comic. I ended up drawing in Jack b...

Totally Not Gay page 1-7 WEB size

Alright, here's the image dump of the web-sized version of the comic for the $5+ tier. I'll continue like this from now on. The web versions will be two weeks ahead of FA and Twiter, just like the hi-res version.

NOTE: the normal upload is hi-res, and this version is the same as what's posted to FA and Twitter (which usually compresses things). 

I wanted to show appreciation for my $5 supporters and figured that since the WIPs for the comic are shown early at the $5, it only ...

Totally Not Gay WEB size at $5+ going forward

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I've decided to release my comic at the FA/Twitter web resolution as I finish it, alongside the HD version. I don't see any reason why my $5 supporters shouldn't see the comic in its full-color glory before the rest of the internet, so starting tomorrow I'll upload it in the much smaller, but still fully-colored web size to the $5+ tier.

You'll get a bunch of posts all at once, but this is a one-time deal and then afterward it'll continue at t...

Totally Not Gay page 7

Alright guys, here's page 7 finally. This one took ages both fixing the problems with the composition in the beginning and then with my wrist limiting my time painting every day. Hopefully this will heal soon. I've been trying to take a lot of breaks and not stress it too much, but I must've really messed something up.

I hope you enjoy the outcome and the continuing misadventures of our favorite husky boy!

Totally Not Gay pace announcement + injury + life updates

Hey all, I wanted to mention (before you guys get charged for September if this bothers you!) that I'll be reducing the release pace of Totally Not Gay to one full-colored page per month for at least August-October. There are several reasons for this so I'll lay them out here:

1) I over estimated the amount of time comics take since it's my first one. The level that I want to complete this comic at takes a crazy amount of time, most of it surprisingly spent on setup and...

Totally Not Gay Page 8 WIP

Hey all, here's the preview for page 8. Super happy with the vibe on this page and I think I'll be redoing part of page 7 possibly as well. 

This month has been tough for several reasons but I'm going to try to push through as much as I can. The rest of August and most of September I'll be dealing some some RL personal stuff - I'll be putting out as much work as I can.

2D Animation theme poll

I'm finally ready to give 2D animation a shot, and I'd like to see what theme you guys would be most interesting in seeing for my first attempt!

Thanks guys and I'm super interested to see what your preferences are here!

Totally Not Gay page 7 preview WIP

Trying to keep my page layouts a bit more open and readable now - also doing the setup in a much quicker style so I can work on multiple examples before choosing one that I like.

Well.. Looks like Karu got home earlier and was shocked to find her bro not only in her room but all naked too! Poor Mizuki just isn't having much luck.

Working on the layout for page 8 and will be posting it over the next few days while I work on the lines and colors for page 7.

Tutorial Interest Poll

Hi guys, while I'm working on the next comic pages and painting the pinup of the month, I wanted to get a feel for what kind of tutorial content people on here would want to see (looking toward September/October to do another tutorial/guide thingy).

I'm probably going to focus on each one of these topics as a tutorial eventually, but at the rate I'll make them, there's probably going to be at least 3-4 months between each of them. Which would you guys like to see?
