Sammy

Finished YCH for the wonderful JZLobo!! We switched his underwear to red shorts, and added a sheath alt! This was supposed to be -just- "basic shading", buuut I spent extra time on it anyway, just to get a more complete looking finished piece :)
With all my work, there are things I wish I had time (or the ability to go back to the past) to fix, but overall I'm happy with how he turned out! ^^ The main thing I wish I could do differently might be the lighting RE: the background, which was o...

YCH wips!

Some colors on these YCHS, though left guy has some shading already! The left guy will be done today, and the guy on the right a few days later probably :) It's really fun painting some non-base anthro stuff, I'm really glad I can offer these now!

Behind bars YCH idea

Kind of messing around with a background for this YCH! I keep coming back to a dungeony kinda place, though it's really hard to decide what to settle on :C If i kept the dungeon theme, then I'd need to redo the flooring, I think, and (of course) detail the chains above him + the slab behind it, which are currently just placeholders.
Alternatively, he's all done/ready to go if kept with a grayscale bg!
Should I keep the dungeon background? ditch it and stick with just the grayscale? 🤔...

Vulture guy- NSFW version

The owner of this adopt of mine asked for some nsfw additions! It was the first time drawing a butt view, which was pretty fun! And also my first time drawing avian nsfw :)

Some rough YCH sketches

I'm finally able to offer YCHs for sale again, and I am definitely looking forward to doing werewolfy ones! :D I think I'd like to start by taking some of my sketches here from patreon and offering them. The bottom 3 are all from patreon here! The top 4 are all new random ideas, though I have a ton more I'd like to try.

My rough drafts are reaaally rough, in both anatomy and lining, so forgive me on those :) Anyway, very excited that I'm able to offer anthro YCHs now!

If anyone ...

Sketchy resting

A warmup sketch before doing adopts today! Feeling a bit autumn-y lately :) Here in oregon things have been in super fast-forward, in terms of the climate. We went from agonizing summer in august, to straight into winter LOL, or so it feels. One day it was 95F, now it's 40F, no transition.  /shrug
All the trees and plants are trying to drop their leaves asap and so we've barely gotten any color :C But wherever Naxx lives, he can enjoy a nice autumn! Maybe he's in the new england area?...

Sketch dump!

A bunch of the sketches for the colored/shaded pieces over the past few months :)

Naxx learns magic

..and immediately uses it for mischief :--)

A bit of a different theme than usual, with the magic tendril things. It was really fun to try out though, it'd be entertaining to do it again some day!

I also originally wanted to add a human nsfw alt, but i don't have time :C

Naxx's slightly updated ref

Finally added some color onto this, very roughly! Naxx's old reference/original ref was a bit static, and I wanted to update it with a bit more expression and some more exaggerated fur/anatomy :)

His pose here is very similar to his halloween cowboy pose, unintentionally!

what this?

dumb quick sketch messing around with the idea of adding a knot to human dicks :) or is it a human tip to canine? hmm
we may never know !

Cowboy

Naxx showing off his dumb halloween costume :) Apparently at a pumpkin patch at night? Very bold of him, because I imagine he's a weenie in regards to scares LOL. 

My friend and I were dying with laughter trying to pick out ridiculous halloween costumes for our characters- when I saw this i knew immediately I HAD to draw it XD I'd really like to draw both of them with them on, but i dunno if I'll have time!

Oh, and I tried out adding a knot to his human version this time for...

Naxx ref WIPs

I dont think Naxx really needs a new reference, but it was a fun warmup this morning! Maybe another time (maybe in my freetime?) I'll color it and shade :)

I wanted to clarify a few things about his current design direction with this ref! stuff I've been figuring out since making his original ref. 

  • 1) I like drawing him, at the moment, with a huge mane of various lengths (sometimes even down his spine)!
  • 2) apparently I like using him for happy/meme d...

Chargin' up

we've been having a lot of laughs about JO crystals lately, (https://sta.sh/0scut1mrsiv LOL) and i'm thinking about making my friend group and I some as a joke :) so here's isil and naxx bro'in out in the woods, howling to the moon and celebrating their goofy matching necklaces!

This was a bit rushed/made mainly as a meme to surprise my friend, so it's rough and mostly just sketch with colors thrown at it! the basis of...

Mr attitude

Random sloppy sketch from yesterday that I added some fur and NSFW to today! :) This time I tried out some boxers on him for fun.

Will be uploaded to FA in a few days probably!

Dumb bros

my best friend and i love trying to out-embarrass each other, and i thought some emoji-fied versions of our characters would be hard for her to beat :---)
🥴👉👈🤪🤙
i've done some other dumb drawings like this of her and i (we were considering doing a jack-o pose of them both), but they're usually so sinfully stupid that i refrain from posting them anywhere LOL. But this one is somewhat passable this time :) posting here early- it'll be on FA in a few days or a week or so, al...

Shepherd guy

Another random for fun sketch that I added colors and shading on! I wanted to try a shepherdy type character :) It's so fun shading muscles!

Comes with a few alternates and both canine + human NSFW!

A good dream

Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, it's been a chaotic past few months! I needed to spend some time focusing on commission work, but now it's time to get back to posting some sketches again :)

I mainly just intended them to be sketches alone, not colored/shaded, so they're a bit messy, forgive me. This was my favorite sketch out ...

My first P2U werewolf base!

It was requested that my next base be werewolf-y, so here we are! This base is one I'll be using for adopts, but I wanted to offer it for your guys' usages as well, as my first P2U base :)

There is a SFW only version, AND a SFW+NSFW version (both the same price)!

Hail to the king

The gold undies return!

I've been addicted to these practice/for fun pieces! I need to take a break from them for a while though, to focus on many of my commissions that are nearly done. So I made sure this guy came with lots of different versions to cover all bases!

Another random sketch turned into a painting! For some reason, not a wolf this time! And it saved a bit of time not needing to do the fur details :)

The royal dobe WIP

I had time after working today to start a new for fun project! This time, surprisingly, not a wolf! I didn't feel like drawing all the fur- mainly I just wanted to focus on the lighting and shading. Not perfect, as none of my personal work ever seems to be, but I'm not really worried about getting it all 100% right on this piece :) The finished product will probably be rough and more like Mr. Smite rather than my recent drawing, which has more polish.

It's really nice to be able to ju...

Oops

Another project that was meant to be just a sketch, turned into a full piece! Just something a bit silly/light and just for practicing lighting and muscles some more, as always! This was very fun to work on :D

He comes with a few different versions, too!

Mr Smite

A fun/not entirely serious piece of bizarre fanart of a boss from Deadmines on WoW! Not fully rendered or detailed, just kinda slapped together and still a bit messy :) All my friends started playing WoW classic for the release of burning crusade, so we did a lot of deadmines runs on our new characters.

Mr Smite WIP

A very rough/first draft random sketch! I'm a big fan of WoW, especially WoW classic. My friends recently started playing, and today we were finally able to do deadmines! It was a disaster, but it was hilarious. So many people falling off edges of the last area, so many patrols walking into us! I felt like Mr Smite would be a fun guy to draw :)

What should my first P2U base be?

I'd like to try to finally offer my first ever pay to use base sometime in the upcoming weeks/months, and I'm having trouble deciding what to create! Do you guys have any thoughts? I'd love any advice too!
At the moment my style is leaning towards, for anthros, poses/builds that show off muscles and show both sides of the body clearly. But I can do whatever people might want! I mostly have wolves in mind for now.

Naxx

FINALLY done! A for-fun project in my downtime: putting this often-used black wolf guy on an actual reference and making him a character! He's who I always default to painting here for my patreon anthro posts, so I thought I could try out the new base by painting him on it :)

His design is very flexible, since I like to try different body types when painting him and such!

I gave him a SFW (ish) copy, and 2 NSFW versions for fun!

All fours

Another of my sketches from my WIP page that I added a little extra to! I've been attempting a pose like this for MONTHS, and this was the first/only time I've kept one! It's very complicated for me to draw anthros in side view for some reason. (or, not showing their front mostly)

Bound

From my WIP page- just a practice/for fun sketch! Far from perfect, but I'd like to do more like this!
