December 2018 - Sketch Suggestions

One last Patron Suggestion Thread for the road before the year ends. I might try to take it easy this particular month, but let's see how it goes!

What do YOU want to see?

Characters, Scenarios, Subjects, Mediums, Themes, etc... Is there anything in particular you would like to see me do sometime during the month?

Nothing too naughty...

[Patron-Only Feed] Physical! Physical! Let's get meta-physical!

A good assortment of sketches considering I've been mostly inactive. The cute piece with the three Links is especially enjoyable. I did like drawing Yugi too.

My sleep schedule's been wonk.


So what's next...?

As last year drew to a close, I proposed some changes to my Patreon, and man...

Vamp Quon

Feeling a bit tired, but that's okay. Have an extremely quick sketch.

Don't forget to eat & sleep.

I'll probably make another post about the patreon shifts this week, with a simpler diagram and some more talkings and stuff.

yami no gamo

I didn't do very much today, but I did spend a bit of time drawing this Dark Yugi. But with boobs. But they're subtler boobs because think that's more fitting.

It's getting to be VERY cold. I'm hesitant to attempt sleeping today because of just how cold it was last night, and how long it took me to sleep. Brrrr.

A New Patreon Model: my ideas as they are currently

I've been spending several hours the last few nights determining the details for a new Patreon model, and I recently shared some of those ideas in the Discord Server. 

Some concerns were raised about whether I was trying to promise more than I could deliver without sacrificing my health. In truth, I DID have a lot of promises under the new model; way more than I currently do. So I re-assessed my ideas to streamline everything. My goal was to make each reward tier feel simple, but unique f...

Approaching Rival

Worked on this in a stream today, took about 3 hours. I was testing out the same brushes as yesterday, but I understood them a bit better today. The brush gets thinner the harder you press, but I'm not used to pressing hard on my tablet.

Satellite 09 roughly sketched together a character last night, and I liked the look. I'd like to see them get some further development. I think I drew her breasts just a tiiiiny bit too big though.

Elayne Pencil Test

A quick sketch of Elayne Beaumont, but in her fancy outfit. It's a really difficult outfit to draw, particularly around the collar... I was trying out a new variant of the psudo pencil that my friend made.

I'm tired. Don't forget to go to sleep.

Vampire Bat

I sketched this sometime during the previous months, but I got an inkling to colour it today. I've reached the end of my current sketchbook file, so I spent some time looking through older pages for content I had forgotten about (as I tend to do).

Elayne Beaumont & Batgirl, Cassandra Cain.

Don't forget to eat & sleep, or else Elayne might come for you, mistaking you for a vampire.

Waterfall Shower

Feeling a bit tired, but I started working on some art today. My tablet's pressure sensitivity settings still needs some adjustments though. I don't quite have the same level of control that I'm accustomed to. 

Don't forget to check out the Dropbox Archive; there's a few new things in there.

[Patron-Only Feed] Gotta start goin' hardcore soon.

Sketched a quick Tokusatsu-looking character real quickly because I was thinking about Satellite 09's Signal Bee. I love her art, so you should look at it more often.

Still waiting for my new SSD to arrive from the last post, but I figured I'd provide you with an actual, legitimate Patron-Only Feed update.

[Patron-Only Feed] - Hard Drive Failure! Oh no!

Howdy! My Hard Drive died! Yeah!

I mentioned this development two days ago on both Twitter & Discord, but just in case you were not made aware, I'm making a post here about it.

My HDD failed, so I can't actually access my computer at all. Fortunately, I haven't lost anything too important. All of my art is backed up on Dropbox, so none of that is gone.

I've ordered a Solid State Drive to replace my Hard Drive, and although I paid for one-day-delivery, there was a delay (no doub...

Aile (Megaman ZX)

I wanted to draw something for an artist who likes to draw Aile from Megaman ZX a lot, after having seen their work. I really enjoy their work, and honestly, I've been looking for an excuse to draw her for a while. Though I've... Never been very good at drawing her. That's okay, you gotta start somewhere, right?

This is a bit suggestive, but there's nothing too compromising to look at, so it's being shared with $3 patrons. And it's a bit more refined than recent sketches have been too.

Just Saria

One of this month's requests/suggestions was an older Saria. I coincidentally drew a Saria this month, but I think something like this is more what you were thinking of when you asked.

It's a fairly simple sketch, but it serves the purpose. It's got that nice bit of highlight to focus on the face, but I think I could've probably bumped the values of the legs a bit too. That's alright, it's not too big a deal. Her head's a bit smaller than I ordinarily might make it, but it does help to make he...

November 2018 - Monthly Dropbox Archive

Oops, I forgot to post this month's Dropbox link earlier in the month. Here you go!

What is Dropbox?

Dropbox is a file hosting service that offers cloud storage, which allows users to upload files that can be accessed directly from the internet.

I use Dropbox to upload virtually ALL of my artwork at higher resolutions than I do on social media. It is also an easy, convenient way of viewing all of the work created during the year, with separate folders for every month.

Oh my... So moody! Spent a lot of time on that middle piece.

And that's more or less the first week of November done. Still pretty tired, but I got some nice things done during that week. I've been straining my eyes a bit as of recently with some of these works. Might just be looking at the monitor for so lon...

travelo sketcho

I'm feeling a bit tired, but I wanted to squeeze another sketch out. I'm never really font of these sketches that have this unnatural balance between softness and hardness with the shadow mass edges. Alas.

One of my favourite things about Breath of the Wild is the various outfits you see on OTHER characters while you're traveling the world. So here's one of those, sort of. I'm tired, it's not great.

the horrible night

There are some messy bits here and there, but everything that's important to communicate has been communicated so that's alright. As long as your painting is communicating the idea and image you want to convey, then you don't need everything super finely rendered.

Which is good because I'm not a painter and lack the skills to make a masterpiece.

It's not necessarily a 1:1 accurate portrayal of the style, but there was a strong inspiration from Ayami Kojima (who painted t...

You haven't come to play... Have you?

The final sketch from my latest stream. I was pushing 9 hours and I was having some difficulty seeing, but I wanted to sketch something quick to share today. I like it. It's got a neat mood.

I've always liked the idea of a Skull Kid Saria, who continued to exist beyond the time of Ocarina of Time, and encounters other Links. There's a kind of sadness in it, with someone resembling her best friend only able to stare back with nonrecognition in their eyes. It's why Link's face is in shadow -- to...

Bootyslide Trouble... Again.

Just a quick sketch done near the end of my stream. I was pretty tired, but you'll probably like this anyway. Originally, the only colour in the piece was going to be the red blushies on the face and the butt cheeks, but the composition of the body really didn't seem like it was worth it, so I tossed in some additional flat colours.

My favourite part is the short-haired lady with the coat in the background.

Link Bust... and her face.

This is my first drawing in a few days. Not too bad, though it took way longer to draw than I'd like it to have. I drew this because I needed a new avatar/profile photo to use for my twitter, tumblr, and discord server. I was using an old one, and I didn't want to use the Halloween variant I had up.

I worked on it while streaming, and there was a small discussion about a possible Patreon direction involving Female Link comics and patron interaction concerning them. With Patrons getting to vote...

[Patron-Only Feed] October is Octover...

I've pretty much made all of this work public already since they were created on a daily basis with the intention of being posted during the final week of the month, but it's still good to see.

I spent quite a bit of time on the 2nd piece above, with Elayne & The Vampire Queen. I DID expect it to do better on social media than it ultimately did, but these things happen.

It's the Thing...

I'm not actually very crazy about this particular piece, so there's a chance that I won't be posting it publicly. At least not now. I had originally planned for it to be 1 of the 7 Halloween pieces I uploaded during the final week of the month, but I honestly didn't have a very good handle of this piece when working on it, so it might be something I'm considering a failed attempt.

Still, I thought it would be cool to draw the Bodyslide Girl since I hadn't actually drawn her in a long time.

Brellowitch Ask Responses

Here are a bunch of brellowitch illustrations, albeit without context. Last October, I responded to tumblr asks with brellomascot witch doodles [here], and it was fun, although much more work than simply answering the question. Still, I wanted to do a lot more brellowitches this month than I wound up actually doing, so I took the opportunity to respond to some Asks.

Halloween 2018: Give in to Temptation...

Elayne Beaumont after having been converted into the Vampire Queen's vampiric servant. A good bad end.

This piece was pretty tiring to work on; I spent longer than I usually do on my work for this. Glad it came out looking nice enough. This whole "I wanna post a Halloween illustration a day" thing is pretty hard work, especially since a lot if it isn't done ahead of time. I'll have to keep that in mind should I attempt something like this again.

The Gerudo's on the other foot now

I decided to revisit a sketch from earlier in the month, and I'm glad I did so -- this looks much better than it did previously. The smoke is pulled directly from a piece I did last year, but I suppose that's one of the benefits of drawing something so generic; I could re-use it and no one would be any the wiser!

I cleaned up some of the lines (though not so much so as to ruin the energetic nature of the 'inks'), refined the colour masses, and then applied a colour grade to the characters to g...

The Curse of Herocia

Every October, I make it a point to draw Herocia in her Halloween Hades (Disney tm) costume. 

I have not drawn Herocia in an incredibly long time. She is an old character of mine; for those of you who are unaware. I had originally planned her for a video game idea I had for one of my college assignments.

Last October, I worked on a bunch of artwork to essentially post in quick succession during the last week of the month. I'm considering doing the same this month, with an upload a day during the final week -- but they need to be passable "finished" illustrations.

I haven't essentially drawn in about a week, so this was my first drawing after a while. You can definitely see some of the rust being shaken off here, but it looks okay enough.
