Wow! I can NOT stay on model. The third one is especially bad.

Another Wrecked Poll, Stage 1 of 2

I'm thinking the Moana v Ariel and Wendy Wrecked pictures should be done about the same time. I kinda like getting these polls started early since it gives me more time to think about it. The idea here is another wrecked. These are fun for me, and they can be as long or short as I want. 

What'll make this poll different is that it'll happen in two stages (FUN!). The first will be picking the main character, then we'll vote on a more specific scenario. I'll details those now. <...

WIP: Fantasy wars

Loving the new monitor. It makes drawing go a lot faster, and I have a much better view of the whole picture, since with the tablet I had to zoom in on whatever part I was working on, meaning that I couldn't get a wider look without stopping and zooming out. I can't believe I didn't upgrade sooner. This will make getting back into a larger project like the Ladybug thing much more feasible. Can't get too excited though.

My second duke request for this character. This one is a little boring, sorry  :(

Jeanette/Therese Voerman

Here's a blast from the past. How many people played this game? If you haven't, play-throughs are on Youtube. Sorry that this is tecnically a spoiler, but you get introduced to two 'sisters' who own a club together, and later on you find out that they are actually the same person with a split-personality. Good shit. 

I am LOVING my new graphics-monitor. This is the fist piece I did fully on my monitor (the last one didn't count because I had already done a really basic sketch). I t...

Duke Sketch: Urban Fantasy Goth Samurai

Not very 'goth' but I suck at figuring out what goth should look like. I'm actually digging what can be done with urban fantasy though. It lets me design whatever crazy outfit I want. My main problem with 'real world' is just that I then have to give characters somewhat believable clothes. 

It's going to take forever before I am use to the new monitor, but so far I'm really digging it.

Duke Sketch: Atomic Blond

First sketch on the new monitor. Still having trouble getting it to 'feel' right, but thats what these sketches are for. I am having a serious problem with pressure jitter though.

Big News

Well, after using a $50 graphics tablet for the last several years, I finally felt confident enough to purchase a graphics monitor (so I'm drawing directly on the image, instead of on a tablet in my lap. It only cost $500, which is a lot less than I thought they were. A lot of them still go for $2,000. 

I'm still getting use to it. I did this quick Korok drawing just to get a feel. It's really different. My muscle memory is all over the place. Unfortunately, the biggest problem see...

Duke Sketch: Valkyrie

I am not personally a fan of tatoos. I think they're the definition of "too much" in terms of character design, and also of life choices.

Zelda: What-If Cover

I'm back. Got back in last night. Decided to finish off this very random little project I set up for myself. I'm not evens sure what this is. It's like a "What if Nintendo made porn games" concept. It was also just more experimenting with my multiply/screen method of coloring. I kinda regret the fairy, but too many layers are involved to remove it. 

Back to work! Very excited!

Or something like that. I've just been sketching until waiting to leave for my trip. Getting going now. I'll finish this random doodle when I get back.

Zelda: Nice View

I have to get on a plane tomorrow. 😫😨 Going on a quick trip out of town, will be back by Monday or Tuesday. I've got items on the backlog, but I'm a bit stressed about flying, so I decided to take tonight 'off' and just use it to pack and draw. Been thinking about BOTW again, and how I just wish there was a bit more of it. Luckily there's lots of 34.

Fantasy Wars: Motunui vs Atlantica, 1/2

Pretty quck and sloppy. i didn't even really bother coloring in the lines during most of it, and just tidied up the ugliest parts as I went. This was kind of an experiment in that regard. This page was all about what I can do with speed, rather than skill, for times when I just need to tell as story, and I don't have to worry about making 'good' art. I've got mixed feelings about the results. As much as fighting/wrestling really turns me on, I actually don't think that I have a good style for...

🎼Catching up, catching up, I will always be catching up.🎼

And I'm gonna be taking a quick trip out of town for Mother's Day, so that'll be even more catching up to do. NP. I love drawing smut, I'm just too slow at it. 

So here is my pitch for a DC animated series. Nightwing. Early twenties. Just moved to Bludhaven. Bachelor on the prowl. Barbara Gordon and Cassandra Cain are both in town, sharing an apartment . . . A small apartment. There were will be a soft story-arc ...

Kingdom Sluts

Another Duke request that got expanded on because bla, bla bla, haven't gotten to draw Kingdom Hearts before, bla, bla, bla, I wanted to experiment with a much more haphazard method of coloring to save time, bla, bla, bla, and it kinda worked. Kairi in the background was made using a different method than the rest of the image. I hope it's not that obvious, but it probably is, and Im' not sure if one is better than the other.

Next Wrecked Poll

Looks like Moana is winning. Sunday has always been my "draw only for fun" day, so i'm using it to finish up the Moana vs Ariela. The next one will be more of a wrecked series than a fight, although it may start as a fight depending on who wins. So, who gets wrecked

View Post

Moana vs Ariel

So . . . Who wins, and how do they win?

I'll start with whichever victor gets the most votes overall (that way the loser can't win with a plurality), and then I'll draw the most requested scenario for that victory. So, it doesn't matter if your particular option doesn't win, so long as the fighter your backing does.

WIP: Fantasy Wars: Motuniu vs Atlantica

I think this Fantasy Wars thing is becoming my favorite content to make. It's just really fun to draw and think about the princesses gearing up to fight and ravage. 

I'm going to hold another vote on who wins (for Knights and above), but if any of you have any ideas for future fights, let me know. The don't have to be Disney themed. They just need to believably exist in the same universe. So, Scooby Doo versus Josei and The Pussy Cats. Or Harry Potter versus Buffy the Vampire Slaye...

Nadia and the Pirates

I think Nadia's main shtick is that she's always finding herself in some troubling situation because of all the enemies she's made, but she inevitably escapes, further humiliating her foes. 

Man, I love pirates.

Duke Sketch: Lady (DMC)

I think this will be the last one I do in this painting style. I don't like the way it looks with regular Caucasian/Asian skin (which is amazingly hard to color, because it's actually incredible subtle, and I just wish everyone was green and/or blue). Colors are too muddy for my aesthetic, which is bright and cartoonish. I also just don't think I did the best job depicting Lady from this angle. She should look a bit more spry and tomboyish.

Duke Sketch: Elsa (an assassin OC, not the princess)

I hope that it's not too obvious that I'm in catch-up mode from the last week. Otherwise I'd be doing this is my normal cartoony style, which takes longer, instead of painting over gray-scale.

Duke Sketch: Jester

I have not watched Critical Role yet.  I tried one random video, and I don't think it's something I can get into now. 

EDIT: You know what, I fucked up on this one. The notes said "realistic" sized breasts, and I went full Marky again. I can do better on the next one.

Dwarf Wrestling

Started as a duke request, but I had really wanted to have a 'shorty' theme last month (I ended up getting distracted by everything else going on) so I had to put a little extra effort into this one. Wrestling and dwarves. Two of my favorite things

One more day with my family in town, but then everything should be back to normal. Maybe I'll just saw that this was an unplanned vacation. I was working on this in the meantime. You know, I think drawing in blue helped me see everything clearer. It'll be black for the final image, but this might be something worth experimenting with.

Sokka + June = Sune or Jokka?

Did they ever establish if Sokka had kids or not? I actually like how many of the main characters didn't have children. Of ALL my friends, only one has kids, so it's nice to see some 'childless' representation, lol. I actually hated how in Harry Potter, everyone just gets paired up and becomes boring middle-class Brits, even if they're like bounty-hunters or whatever. I would have preferred it if Harry Potter was so traumatized by his orphaning that he'd chose to not have kids, just to avoid ...

Poll: Fantasy Wars

This will be for May. I think my last Beauty and the Beast picture failed because it wasn't competitive. That's what arouses me most. Sex as a competition. So, I've got some ideas, some more detailed than others. I'm thinking this 'could' be a two-part thing. First you'll pick the fight, and then we'll have another poll to specify the winner, and what posture, move they exhibit to show their dominance. But first, step one . . .

A) Moana vs Ariel. Moana will be standing on the beach with...

God, I wish June had been the forth member of Azula's bitch-squad. That would have been sooooooo goooooood. Well, that's what fan-fiction is for. 

I'm sorry that this is happening so close to the end of the month, but my aunt is coming through town, and I'll have to spend a bit of time with her, which means little work will be getting done. My aunt is the last person in the world I'd want to find out about my career as a smut artist. She's a bit of a church-lady. Great person. Old ...

DBDB 31 (Don't get your hopes up)

I've recently (like in the last six months) received some really passionate feedback about finishing this. I've always responded with what is the truth, that if I were to concentrate on this it would be to the detriment of all my other free-time consume so much of my free-time that I'd burn out again, and that I wouldn't be able to work on things that entertained me in the moment, but I eventually made a promise that I'd try to do 2-3 more pages for old times sake, even though this comic woul...

Duke Sketch: Lamia

Just a regular old, normal, duke sketch for once, again. Gonna be doing a few of these tonight. How do you guys feel about lamias as a monster type? Are they good as snake-ladies, like gorgons? I haven't seen many people do the other interpretation, with a woman's head on the body of a dog-creature with reptilian scales.
