Knight Poll

I'm so behind on Duke requests that I don't want to draw that I simply have lost all ability to find enjoyment in any of this stuff. Smut just grosses me out right now. I can't think. I don't know what to do for Polls anymore because I have a mountian of work to get to and I don't want to do any of it. 

For this Knight's poll, just describe your dream commissions below. Like, if you had a few hundred dollars to commission me, but don't, write it out below. I'll draw one of them. I ...

Some Duke Sketches

My hand has felt like lead. Not literally, more like I've lost muscle-memory. Here are some Duke requests I've been doing just to get my hand working. I'm pretty happy with how the Castelvania girl and Charlotte came out. I am less happy with my job on Azula.

More Chache,

It should be the same link as before, but more stuff should be in there. If anyone can't find anything that they're looking for, let me know. I've never really used this thing as well as it can be used.

Ladybug Halloween

I like the idea of Alya being the sassy/bitchy friend who isn't afraid to take shots at her BFF, just to be sassy. 

Sorry my output has been slow. I'm hoping that this next week will be more productive.

Good news everyone! I went to the dentist, got some anti-inflammation meds, and I'm feeling way better. The less-good news is that I probably won't be able to get the actual surgery until next month, and that it'll cost money, but that'll just push me to do more commissions and less of my own stuff, so no big problem. 

Bad news everyone! Chinese soft-power is making it's presence more felt across the world, and it's a bit puritanical. I know that a lot of you don't like it when I d...

Another excuse for late Duke sketches.

I may be incommunicado for a little while. I never got my wisdom teeth removed as a kid since they erupted rather painlessly and without causing too much displacement (so not s bad as the photo I'm using). I was told that I could leave them in, but that I should go for cleanings regularly enough to make sure gunk doesn't  get in there and cause an abscess. Something happened yesterday, and now I'm scheduling an emergency appointment for tomorrow. 

Some of the Duke sketch reque...

Jeez, I need to work faster. I'm hoping that the WIPs I have finish quickly. I really want to move on to my Halloween idea.

Classic Monster Poll

For some reason I never really got into Halloween, I think because my friends and I just treated like any other weekend, but with costumes, but I guess we should do our first related poll. I'm gonna keep this one kinda simple, we'll just be picking classic monsters. I'm not sure what I'll do with the winner. Sexy pinnup? Mark the Half-Dwarf fighting one of them? Maybe Marinette wearing a sexy version of the costume to impress Adrien, but OH NO, Chloe is wearing the same thing. OOOOR, since I ...

Bunnyx

I'm really sad to say tha tI'm dropping this one, and not because I don't like it or the idea, I actually REALLY like how Bunnyx looks . . . I just don't know how to color it. I made this following a tutorial, and when I got to the coloring stage, it just don't make a fucking lick of sense. Nothing I see looks right. It seems to random. 

I'd have to start over and do the line-art again on a separate layer. I could, but I'd rather just move on, now that I'm frustrated with this one....

Mr. Wood-Elf-Steal-Yo-Girl

I worked on this an the Ladybug comic at the same time. I'm having trouble with the Ladybug one. Just getting Alix's face right is tricky, but once I've got it, the coloring shouldn't take me too long. 

(These were initially Beastmen, but they become goblins in the sketch. The first beastman head I drew became the wolf).

Inktober #1: Ring

I'm still working on Duke requests and a commission from last month, so I shouldn't be adding more onto my plate right now, buuuut, just for fun I'm doing the "Inktober" thing, wher you have to actually ink a sketch every day based on a prompt. Today's prompt was "ring." 

Wow! My 'skills' (or whatever this is) needs work. Maybe I'll be a bit better by the end of the month.

Warhammer Sex-Fight Poll

So I actually kinda like the idea of trading off between Ladybug ideas and Warhammer ideas, since that seems to be where my visual interests are going. One towards the colorful and cartoony, the other towards the gothic and baroque. 

So, since I'm going to finish the Bunnyx-v-Timetagger comic soon, I'd like to get started on the Warhammer poll. It'll be a simple sex-fight thing between the two chosen factions. It may be cute, or edgy. I'm not sure, I'll wait to see what my mood is,...

Many Duke Requests, Also Birthday!

I'm pretty happy with the 'Marilith' (gorgon), but wow I messed up that Mikasa by playing around with layers way too early in the process. 

I've usually been pretty guarded about details of my personal life. I've always been very suspect about the internet and living on it too much, bla bla bla. It's been out there that today is my birthday though. I think it was listed on Discord for a while. So . . . You know. 

I just wanted to thank everyone, even those giving me $1. ...

WIP: Bunnyx

I only wanted to rend out a bit, just to figure out what I want Bunnyx to look like (I'm changing all the costumes a bit). I am pretty happy with how it is looking so far.

Duke Sketches (Large)

I actually don't know if 'sketch' is a good word for these. Maybe 'vignettes.' It's really fun making these easy little images. I've been trying to go 'extra' recently to test myself, which means incorporating scenery. That is my greatest weakness still. That, and actual artist concepts like vanishing-points and such. Maybe I'll pull back a bit with the Bunnix comic, just to see if simpler is better.

Borderlands: Upgrades

This one is VERY late, even later than the WIPS I started over. I'm glad I took my time with it though. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Obviously, as I'm looking at it, I'm seeing a million little things I'd touch up, but that could go on forever, so it's best to just pick an end point. 

I can't believe that this is my main source of income. I really am one of the luckiest human beings to have ever lived. Objectively. Eight billion people in the world, and I think 90% of the...

Ladybug Poll

I'd like to do another Ladybug thing before attempting Avalor/Berk again, although I think the 'meh' painting I did satisfied the poll at least. I'm in the mood to do more Warhammer or Ladybug stuff, and since the last thing was Warhammer, this time it's ladybug. I'll keep it simple, Let's pick the hero, and I'll do something sexy with them.

Ladybug: Feast

I'm sorry that the bigger Ladybug story is just .  .  . Too big. But this duke request was a good opportunity for me to reconnect with the character. I think I'm just going to stick to one-shots like this that parody all of the very OBVIOUS fetish-bait in the show. There is SO much fetish-bait. It's like a BDSM show . . . For kids.

Bi-Beauty and Bi-Beast

Kinda random sketch. I was brainstorming ideas of a big bi-sexual scene involving mostly Disney characters having various combos of threesomes and foursomes. I might sketch them all like this, and then let you all vote on which one gets finished. That way, even if your favorite option loses, you'll still have the sketch. 

Yeah. I'm going to sketch out a couple other scenes in my head. Just three. Not many, but these sketch here took me a bit longer than a Duke thing, so I can't giv...

Big Warhammer 6 (but just 3)

I had fun constructing the image, but now that I've gottent his far I've lost the will to color it. These vote-for-a-things are kinda experimental. I need to go back and redo the Berk/Avalor one, so I'll go back to that.

Merch?

I've never considered Merch before now, mostly because I'm the sort of person who NEVER buys that stuff. I have magic cards because I play magic. I have comics because I read comics. I don't have any other 'stuff.' If I got in on this sticker game though, would anyone buy them? It's not trouble for me, I think, since it looks like most companies can do print-on-demand, meaning I don't have to go into the hole, they just take whatever percentage that they take.

Take a Look, It's in a Book . . . JOJO!

So I dumped a LOT of the WIPs i was working on last month, just because I was playing around with different tutorials, but I also think I was just doing really sub-par work at the time. I'm glad that I did, I think this new one looks better. A simple sexy pinnup. Nothing groundbreaking. I could obviously keep going back and keep working on it, but I should move along.

Warhammer/Disney

I  can't explain it. I'm just really amused by this mashup idea. 

The next Fantasy Wars: Burke vs Avalor will be up on HF and Twitter by tomorrow night. It's a little 'meh' to 'meh-eh.' I really like the overall shape and stuff, and I think I did a boss job on Hiccup, but the girls are all a little wonky, and for some reason i just couldn't get Elena's face or hair right. It's the last of my 'experimentals' for a while I think. I'm finishing up the Jojo and the Borderlands pic...

One peson requested Jessica Rabbit, another requested their OC as a skater-slut, and there's been some cross-contamination. Not very erotic though.

Dragonriders invading _____?

I'm very certain that this option has such a good lead that it will win regardless of the remaining votes, so I'm basically calling the election early. Who are the Dragonriders of Berk invading (and most likely dominating)?

Fantasy Wars?

The Gotrek and Felix thing is SUPER awkward, because it happened right at a big transition moment for me, where I'm now doing everything in a more "painterly" (it sounds pretentious) way, so . . . I might only finish the Gotrek part up top, since that looks salvageable. I'm also working on a Jojo thing, that's I've basically started over on since I'm actually going to do something a bit more erotic with it. It's slow, but I'm glad I'm starting over with the pretentious "painterly" method. I t...

WIP, Warhammer: Heresy!

Sorry if things seem slow. They are. I've been very unhappy with the speed and quality of my WIPs recently, but I'm happy with the way things are going now. That did mean starting a lot of stuff over though. Remembe that skaven warlord I was drawing? It was one of my problems. It just looked flat and boring, and it was taking me forever to make progress with, so I started over with a funnier attitude, and I'm much happy with how it's going. 

Obviosly the Skaven and High Elves are n...

Bel WIP

I basically redrew the second half because I was sup unhappy with it, but I'm liking it a lot more now, and what's most important is that the method I'm using is proving to be pretty quick-and-clean, which is what I've been looking for from all the silly youtube turortials I watch. I feel like it's just now coming together.

Warhammer: Goblins vs Dwarves

Good news! I made something I'm happy with, not only in how it turned out, but also how I made it, so I should have a method good enough for finishing that Bel comic. This is from another Duke request from last month that I combined with my own interests. I was doing a Skaven with a high-elf slave, but the methord I was using to construct is is kinda tedious now, so I may just redraw the Skaven as it was meant to be, a sketch, in this style. I don't know. All of my WIPs are such shit right no...
