Keep Your Hands Off Vampire Killer!

I saw that the opening for Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! is generating something of a meme right now, so I figured I'd join in, since I have a few characters that look pretty good in those shots. So here that is!

The sharp, sickening yellow background works well, thematically, with the Vampire Queen, but I'm always apprehensive about this colour. I wanted to change it into something that looked better, but I felt it was more important to preserve the original background colour. In chang...

[Concept Art] Some Amaranth Thoughts

Although I was not originally intending to focus so much on Amaranth's design in this post, it ended up being the focus over the last week or so. I've talked a bit about Amaranth in a previous post, which you can find [HERE].

I spent some time exploring various ideas about the Beaumont universe, even putting together a rough timeline for background lore & history. But that can wait for anot...

Vacuous Brellomaid

Thank you for your patience!

This illustration was inspired by an idea sent by a Dungeon Master patron. It's a mindwipe'd brellomascot maid. I'm not entirely sure if all of the illustrations for this reward tier will look like this, but, until I figure that out, I'm cool with keeping at it.

Although I had initially planned to fill the glasses, I later found appeal in the idea of leaving them empty. It also allows the most saturated colours to comfortably sit in th...

[Feed] Back into the flow of things

Thank you for your patience.

The heaviest concentration of work last week went towards the rendered illustration of Link, but I spent quite a bit of time on the NSFW Sketch Suggestions too. Those aren't in the Monthly Dropbox Archive yet, but will be at the end of the week. I just like to le...

Link, because of course...

Thank you for your patience!

Unlike the last few major illustrations, I made a greater effort to create a piece that looked a bit more organic in nature. There are all these contrasting angles in the arms, flowing cloth, and hair too. But this organic quality is also present in the brushwork too. There's much less cleanliness and less airbrushing throughout the piece, and if you look closely, you can see a lot more brush strokes too.

Rather than establishing all of the major eleme...

[Feed] Feeling sluggish, but moving along...

Just a quick update, and I want to thank you for your patience.

In the last post, I expressed some concerns about a pain in my chest. Although it wasn't too severe during the time of that post, it DID get a bit worse. That said, I'm doing a bit better now. I've been trying to take it easy over the last week and relax. My best guess is it's linked to stress, so I should be a lot more ...

[Feed] Let's ease into it...

I've been trying to take it easy lately. Although I did briefly produce a bit of work for web comic, Cassiopeia Quinn. You can read that HERE.

I watched Netflix's The Witcher and liked it. I also played through Nier: Automata and enjoyed it. I don't really make time for video games anymore, ...

Adventure Orphans

I'm still on my mini-vacation thing, but my friend, Psu, asked for some help on the latest page for Cassiopeia Quinn (a webcomic I help out with). Read it HERE.

Psu wanted something that felt somewhat like an old Legend of Zelda illustration, and I used some of Katsuya Terada's old Zelda work as inspiration -- primarily wit...

[Dropbox] January 2020

Dropbox is a file-hosting service that I upload virtually all of my artwork to, allowing you to access it through your internet browser. I update it throughout the month.

Why should I use this service?

It is the most efficient method to view my work. You'll even get access to previous months, dating as far back as the start of 2018. Included are a few extra goodies too.

That's it! We've reached the end of the year! The Dropbox Archive is now completely up to date with everything drawn during the year of 2019! I was feeling pretty tired during the last two weeks, so tha...

Sweater Cookies

This piece got away from me after I applied the colours, so it is, in my opinion, not finished. But I wanted to be done with it, and I'm sure you're not going to be bothered by it as much as I am, so here we go.

Like the last few illustrations, I spent longer than usual on this piece. It is a tiny bit larger in scope though, so that might be why I'm not content with it. The work features a wider range of values & colours, some environmental elements, and a dynamic-ish pose. I think ...

[Feed] What if the clones executed Order 63? Or... 69?

The majority of my work over the last several days consisted of work on the Concept Art & Discussion post. I was feeling a bit out of it earlier this week, and I still am, but it took away 3-4 days of my work time. Still, I got a decent enough amount of work done in that time.

[Concept] Thoughts on a Zelda Comic pt1

Just a few months ago, I created my first real comic -- Beaumount (Prototype). It definitely served as good practice for future comics I may do some day… like a Legend of Zelda comic!

Oh snap, did you SEE that segue? Man, I'm REALLY good at this words thing!

Anyway. I've previously talked about wanting to create comics set within the Legend of Zelda universe, but I have not quite committed to starting anything (because it is really hard), nor have I talked much about my ideas. I...

[Feed] Extremely Tiny Update

The previous week was a bit of a slow one, with most of my time being spent on the holiday illustration and some of it on the NSFW Sketch Suggestions. If you haven't already, be sure to check the Monthly Dropbox Archive.

Holiday Illustration - Christmas Link

Oh, Christmas Link, oh Christmas Link...

Another installment in the "I spent longer to work on this piece than usual" series of works. By allowing myself more time on illustrations like these, I can produce them at a higher level of polish than you might usually expect from my quicker works.

It was good to draw a Christmas-themed illustration, since I really do so last year. One of the benefits of slowing down and planning something ahead of time is that I got to work on this befo...

[Feed] December Begins

It's still pretty early in the month, so I haven't done very much. Most of my time has been spent towards cleaning and trying to relax. Still, I managed to produce a few sketches during that time.

I didn't REALLY produce any noteworthy holiday content last December, so I deci...

The Future of my Patreon - 2020 Edition

We're nearing the end of 2019, and like every year, that means it's time to reflect on what has happened and look forward to the following year. My Patreon has come a long way since it started 3-4 years ago, thanks to your support, and I hope it will continue to get even better.

In order to move forward, I need to stop and ask myself some questions.

[Patron-Only Feed] tinier update

This week was a fairly simple one, as I really didn't do very much. Last week was spent on the Concept Art post too. I'll keep this post fairly short and save my complicated thoughts for the next Patron-Only Feed post in a few days, especially since I should be reflecting on this year and determ...

It's another Link

The month is almost over, so I thank you for your patience.

This piece is a bit rougher than I'd have liked, but I wanted to get a second piece out this month and I was interested in experimenting with brush control. I liked this month's first illustration, but I think a few spots looked a little too smooth & clinical for me, so going in the other direction helps to get a bigger picture of this style of rendering. 

There isn't much to say about this piece: It's Link stand...

[Concept Art Discussion] Princess Zelda - Attempt 01

Note: This post has been made public for presentation purposes. 

Introduction 

I've often expressed an interest in telling stories within the Legend of Zelda universe, although with my own interpretation of Link. With boobs. There is more to the franchise than Link, however…

Right now, my Link exists in what is mostly a void of nothing. No other characters, no images of Hyrule, no actual adventures. This is usually just because I've made a habi...

POLL: Hypothetical Change to $7 Membership Level?

As the previous posts suggested, I am currently giving thought to the idea of restructuring the Patreon experience. That isn't to say that I will definitely be making these changes, but they are considerations. This is all Hypothetical!

I don't like making big changes to the Patreon without knowing how it will affect you, so I've created this poll to determine how YOU would feel IF such a change were made.
