October Character Selection

It's time to select the new character for October's project session! Watch the video to see who the winner is...

Patreon Updates :: Into September and Onward...

Chiming in with a HUGE Patreon update! This will be the final content format from here on out, with some slight changes here and there depending on patrons numbers, project interest and work flow. Now, let's break down all the fresh, new updates!

Projects
I will be making some heavy changes to projects, again. It shouldn't really surprise anyone, really, since project updates have been either too scarce or not frequent enough. Some of the category ...

Extra Bits WIPS :: Super Woman Commission

So, I have decided to add commission progress to Patreon! Patrons in tier Bittie Committee and above will be able to check out the super rough pose compilation and final rough sketch of current commissions (with permission from the client, of course). 

Today's Extra Bits WIPS features Lois Lane transforming into quite a Super Woman.

The pose compilation shows all the poses roughed out based on the clients request. 

Enjoy!  

DTIYS/REDRAW :: She-Hulk

It's Throwback Thursday! The illustration on the right was completed in 2017 and uploaded to my "other deviantART account". 

It was time for a bit of a Stina Darhk revamp! 

Enjoy, patrons!

Extra Bits :: Monstah Grrls - Alien

Still not completely satisfied with the color choices, but it works for now. 

THE SERIES IS NOW COMPLETE! Check out the rest of the series below!

Enjoy!

Extra Bits :: Titania

Patrons of the Bittie Committee tier and those above have already seen the sketch of this strangely-posed Titania, now she's in full-color glory for all patrons! 

The pose doesn't fit Titania, but it is practice...

Enjoy!

Patreon Updates :: Time to Catch Up on Life and Such...

I have fallen behind on Patreon, commissions, any art in general and life. My day job had been rough and I fell back into a stress-induced, depressive state. It lasted longer than I ever wanted and it obliterated all the motivation to do anything creative. Naps were my top priority, at times, even as often as crashing right after work, sleeping through the night and starting the same routine over the next morning. 

Work still isn't the best and retail never is, to be honest, but th...

Titania Emoji/Emote/Sticker

I present to you, the first of many emojis/emotes/stickers that'll be available to patrons to use in Discord! 

Use the command :waitadamnminute: to use the emoji, still trying to figure out how to set certain stickers exclusivity to Patron roles on Discord. Wound up using a bot for Emoji persmissions.

In the meantime, enjoy the new "Now Wait a Damn Minute" sticker!

Don't Make Me Angry WIP :: CYOA

So, for Don't Make Me Angry (formerly She's Now She Hulk), I thought I'd turn it into a fun version of a Choose Your Own Adventure scenario where patrons can vote on the results of the character's hulk-out. 

Scenario: Titania is enjoying a day off in town, but needs a little pick-me-up to get her through her somewhat busy errand day. She stops by ...

Extra Bits :: Titania Transformation

A Chibi-style Titania has appeared! I had a similar version of the Dungeon Dame to use for streams, but I scratched that idea and utilized it for something else. 

While doing this, the idea of a lenticular print came time mind, but in full color, of course. 

A very simple, very basic transformation. Sadly, without torn clothes but there's always room for other versions. 

Enjoy!

Extra Bits WIP :: Alien Drummer

I wanted to color this, but I really didn't like the original piece anymore. It didn't fit with the theme found throughout this Patreon page. So, I took it upon myself to make some changes and so far, I like the results. 

Pounding those drums on a nightly basis, she's got to have some pretty buff arms. Of course, I don't know any drummers personally, so I don't know if this is the case with drummers. But, it's at least with hers.

Enjoy!

Patreon Updates :: Schedule Changes

Since acquiring access to the Message Schedule Bot on Discord, posting updates on Patreon content has been hella easy. I've been able to manage time better between projects, commissions and various extras. 

I have noticed, that one some days, there's quite a bit of a post dump, depending on the type of content that I share. All works-in-progress were originally set for Wednesdays, including sketches and such for Extra Bits/Naughty Bits. 

I want to spread the work out thr...

Throwback Thursday :: March 10

Goodness, would you look at these oldies! 

Superwoman - 2007
Rogue - 2011

These were on deviantART, once upon a time, but they've since been deleted and archived on my hard drive. Although not quite spicy, these characters have been featured here on Patreon before, so sharing where they started so long ago...

Naughty Bits Sketch :: Titania #1

Silly, Titania. You don't have those powers! There's only one place suitable for that kind of "absorption" and I'm sure Absorbing Man himself wouldn't hesitate to find out where. 

First Naughty Bits post in a hot minute, but with the way I've got my schedule planned out, expect more Naughty Bits, you Tainted Travelers!

Extra Bits WIP :: GamerVerse Titania

I've never played Square Enix's Avengers video game, but I have read Iron Man's comic tie-in featuring a much different version of Titania. This design immediately became one of my favorites after seeing the concept art for the first time. The design definitely screams "bad ass" but after the last sketch dump, putting her in this pose was more fitting for the road she travels now, being a hero and all. 

Enjoy!

Wednesday WIPs won't just be for large project wips. but all works...

Patron Ponderings :: deviantART

So, deviantART changed their mature content policies. Users who pay for the core membership services can upload more explicitly DRAWN/ILLUSTRATED content in the form of subscriptions.

Like Patreon, it offers content and rewards in tiers to users who sign up for those monthly subscriptions.

I'm not planning on leaving Patreon for deviantART's new subscription services, but I was wondering if any patrons here would object to me also providing the same content to deviantART subscript...

Muscle Monday :: Sketch Dump 1

Extra Bits Sketch Dump 1 :: Upper Body/Arm Muscles

I used a couple of references to practice some upper body muscles and how they change during poses. Going with female body builders of the late 80s and early 90s feels like a good choice, as it's normally the look I prefer or requested. 

It helps to practice, especially when it comes to muscles and presenting them correctly.

Round 1 :: Titania :: Don't Make Me Angry

With 44% of the votes, Don't Make Me Angry (formerly She's Now She Hulk) wins for the first round of Patreon Projects. 

Even though Titania is fairly...tall of muscular...pushing her form beyond that familiar look is going to be both fun and challenging. But, isn't that the whole point of these projects? To push beyond my comfortable boundaries and improve?

Now that first round has been chosen, it's time to set some new rules. Much like the character lockout list, wi...

Don't Mind Me...Just a Test!

So, having the option to schedule posts on Patreon is nice but that feature isn't readily available through Discord. So, while trying to find ways to do so, it was suggested that Discord servers use bots. I don't know how to create a bot but thanks to the internet and the vast amount of people who actually know what they're doing, I was able to add a message scheduler bot to my Discord Server.

With a few customization options, I was able to bring the Dungeon Dame to life! 

Le...
