Man-at-Arms Remake Concept

Man-at-Arms today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

Mostly just the same artstyle changes for her, and some minor tweaks to her outfit. I also made her slightly taller.

And that's it, Bounty Hunter and onwards I consider good enough as is and as things currently stand I don't think they need this treatment. I have gotten plenty of feedback for these and I do intend to keep it in mind going forward.

Jester Remake Concept

Jester today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

I did not end up changing her very much, mostly just the same artstyle changes, I did tweak her facial expression somewhat, because I want the idle sprites to have somewhat more neutral expressions.

Next up is the Man-at-Arms, which will be the last in this set.

Leper Remake Concept

Leper today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

I decided to tweak her outfit quite a bit, the clothing around her waist, gloves, as well as giving her high heels. Made her a bit taller too.

Next up is the Jester.

Shieldbreaker Remake Concept

Shieldbreaker today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

Mostly just the same general artstyle updates for the Shieldbreaker, I did decide to add a small, seethrough skirt, for a bit more flair. I also made her pants a bit more poofy.

Next up is the Leper.

Arbalest Progress Report 9

Here is the ninth Progress Report for the Arbalest mod.

The clothed version is now done! The next step will be to make the animated versions of the idle, walk and combat sprites, as well as the attack animations.

Grave Robber Remake Concept

Grave Robber today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

Grave Robber is probably the one I have changed the least, she looks mostly fine as is, just doing the same general artstyle changes. I would consider her probably the lowest priority for these remakes.

Next up is the Shieldbreaker.

Monthly Poll Art: January 2023

Here is the monthly poll art piece for January!

Hellion Remake Concept

Hellion today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

For the Hellion it's mostly just quality and artstyle updates, she looks mostly fine already, but could use some work to bring the quality and consistency up. I did decide to change her facial expression somewhat, mostly because I wanted a more neutral expression for the idle sprite.

Next up is the Grave Robber.

Abomination Remake Concept

Abomination today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

Mostly just quality and artstyle updates for the human form, she does quite need it, particularly the face. For the beast form I ended up changing it quite a bit, redesigned her legs, made her taller, redesigned her face and hair somewhat, as well as the usual changes to my artstyle.

Next up is the Hellion.

Houndmaster Remake Concept

Houndmaster today, both the Houndmaster herself and the hound, and before anyone asks, yes, the hound will still have the "human" variant. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

The Houndmaster is also pretty badly in need of an update, possibly more so than the Occultist. I didn't change the outfit all that much, but the anatomy and particularly the face are not up to my current standards at all. The hound I think looks mostly fine as is, but...

Occultist Remake Concept

Occultist today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

The Occultist out of all my mods is the one most in need of an update I think, besides the Crusader. Besides the usual I did not change the design for the Occultist herself all that much, but she needs some significant help in regards to quality. I did change her facial expression a decent bit though. For the familiar however I decided to tweak the design quite a bit, I felt it was a bit ...

Plague Doctor Remake Concept

Plague Doctor today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

Fairly minimal changes to the outfit, mostly just improving the quality, anatomy and artstyle stuff.

Next up is the Occultist.

Vestal Remake Concept

Vestal today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

Vestal is one of the ones I decided to tweak the actual design quite a bit for, as opposed to just quality and artstyle stuff. Changed her facial expression a bit, I'm going for a motherly vibe and I don't think that really came across with the old one. I also tweaked her outfit a decent bit, redesigned her top and shoes, as well as tweaking the colors a bit. I also made her taller.

Ne...

Arbalest Progress Report 8

Here is the eight Progress Report for the Arbalest mod.

The color is done for the clothed version. Next up is the shading.

Highwayman Remake Concept

Highwayman today. Refer to my earlier Crusader post for more general information about what this is.

The Highwayman I think has aged remarkably better than most of my older mods, and I would consider it a lower priority for updating. That being said, there are definitely parts I would want to update, mostly just general anatomy and artstyle stuff, as well as making more sprites for her attacks as some of them are repeats. I also reworked the rips on the pants to make them look better. 2023-02-11 17:38:35 +0000 UTC View Post

Crusader Remake Concept

Here is a bit of a secret project I have been working on for the last couple weeks or so. This is a concept for the eventual remake I want to make for my Crusader, I have made similar concepts for all of my mods before the Bounty Hunter which I will be posting over the coming days.

To be clear, this is more of a long term plan thing, not something I am planning on making right now. Updating my older mods to bring them up to my current standards is something I have thought about for a wh...

February 2023 monthly poll

Monthly art poll for February. This poll will be running over the course of February, and then I will make the actual piece at some point in March.

I'm thinking this time we will be doing my DD characters, the top two voted ones will be in a group image of some sort.

Feel free to suggest characters or other ideas / improvements for the next poll.

January 2023 monthly poll result

Midna won the poll! You can expect the actual art piece at some point during February.

Arbalest Progress Report 2

Right, I am healthy again and back from my break, thank you for your patience. 

Here is the second Progress Report for the Arbalest mod.

I have finished the base body for each of the different attacks and animations, which I will then use as a foundation for the rest of the work. The next step will be to add details such as the face, hair and clothing.

I'm sick

I got sick over the holidays, I don't think it's covid, but I will be taking a few days off to recover. Sorry for the delay.

January 2023 monthly poll

Right, the first monthly art poll, this is somewhat experimental and I will probably tweak how I go about it over time, so bear with me. Feel free to suggest characters or other ideas / improvements for the next poll.

This poll will be running over the course of January, and then I will make the actual piece at some point in February.

Since we are entering the year of the rabbit, I figure this will have a rabbit theme! Think playboy bunnies, that sort of thing.

Membership Tier Changes

As I have alluded to, I am changing up the tiers and rewards for this Patreon, now seems like a good time, with a new year on the horizon.

I am adding two new tiers: a 3$ tier offering voting for a new monthly art poll, as well as early access to said art, as well as a 20$ tier for those wanting to further support my work, it offers the same benefits as the 10$ tier.

The monthly art poll will be for fully developed images, not sketches, akin to 2022-12-29 14:30:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Art 90: Yoruichi Shihouin

One last Christmas image, have some Yoruichi!

Arbalest Progress Report 1

Here is the first Progress Report for the Arbalest mod.

The first step I make with the mods, making very basic sketches to figure out the poses and general concepts of the different sprites and attacks, to then use as a guideline for the next step, which is drawing the actual body.

Arbalest Update

Back from my break!

Starting with updating the design for my Arbalest to bring it up to my current standards. Posting the old design as well for comparison.

Ended up pretty much redrawing it from scratch.
