So expect a new Ivy pinup later this month.

The next poll will be the Nov Tsunade Poll, which will open on th...

Letta's Big Cookie Pinup

Hi everyone,

I've got this latest pinup of Letta done and I added a two alts. "Naked Apron Letta" was on the Deluxe poll this month. She didn't make the top choice but since I was already working on this I thought I might as well add an apron alt. The see-thru yoga pants alt is my favorite. I was able to do it using a few multiply layers and a few textured brushes.

Thanks and enjoy!

Thanks!

MM Page 8 WIP

Hi everyone,

Here's an early look at this week's comic page. This will be the last page for this comic. Next week I'll make a cover.

On this page I have the linework for the first two panels done, but the last one still needs a clean up pass. I also need to add the final dialogue for the last two panels.

Thanks!

Here's the current pages of the "Mitsuki's Massage" comic, I went ahead and added page 7. I'll update this post as the last page and cover release to keep it all together. I'll also still upload loose pages at 4pm as usual. One more page to go, a cover, and credits/thank-you pages.

Thanks!

Poste Microkini Pinup

Hi everyone,

I just finished this pinup of Poste and decided to post it today. This is how I will be doing it from now: posting my finished artworks as soon as they're done instead of all at once on Saturdays. I will still be keeping the 4-week early access for patreon.

Anyway, this started as a me just doodling and studying. First I drew Poste then I doodled the bee in the background. Just randomly doodling and making it up as I go is what I call "freestyling." A good chunk of my...

Pec and Shoulder Study

Hi everyone,

This week I decided to study the shoulder and pec region because I feel like connecting the shoulder to the pec and clavicle has been difficult for me. So I looked at some references and sketched them out.

I also need to practice the male figure more for use in future comics so I'll be studying that a lot more going forward.

Thanks!

MM Page 7 WIP

Hi everyone,

Here's a WIP of Page 7 for Mitsuki's Massage, which I'll be working on this week.

I would like to go back to making weekly comic pages and decided that I'd like to share a WIP of each page on Sundays with all Lite and higher tier members. Now that I'm doing this, the order of business is to finish this fan comic, which will have one more page after this. I think I said before that page 7 would be the last page, but after sketching it out I decided I need one more page...

Oct 2023 Art Survey

Hi everyone,

Time for a new art survey.

Here's a survey where you can vote for all the artworks you liked this month. Multiple choice is turned on so make sure to vote for all the artworks you liked. The purpose of this poll is to gather some feedback on which drawings were well received, which helps me know what art to make in the future. Plus I think it's fun to see the stats at the end of each month.

I'll include the previews of each artwork here too.

Thanks!

October 2023 Artwork Week 4

Hi everyone,

Here's this week's art drop.

1. Previews.

2-8. Letta Butt. A pinup of Letta featuring her butt and a couple of different alts with varied dialogue. My personal favorites are the ones with the "wideload" sticker.

9-13. Hinata and Tsunade. The Hinata and Tsunade artwork for this month's Tsunade poll. I made a few different alts on this one too, including the huge boob alt as usual. We've got two more Tsunade polls this year, the next one will be held on Nov ...

Art Tip: Head in Perspective

Hi everyone,

More notes on drawing the figure in perspective but focusing on the head this time. High and low angles are always difficult to learn but starting simple and working up helps the learning and drawing process.

Hope that helps!

-CriKai

October 23 Update

Hi everyone,

Not too much to update on today so here's the previews:

A new pinup of Letta

And the Tsunade and Hinata pinup for this month.

Since we're coming up on the end of the month, I'll have a new art survey after this week's artdrop.

Thanks and have a great week!

-Cr...

October 2023 Artwork Week 3

Hi everyone,

Here's this week's Art Drop.

1. Previews.

2-3. Del x Poste. A page continuing the comic page from last month. Just like the last page, this was inspired by a fanfic written by Scrying (Thanks again!). I originally started with the last panel but then thought that it fits the fanfic well, so I decided to convert it to a second comic page.

4-7. Ivy NSFW Pinup. A POV pinup of Ivy with a few alts. The sex alts will be patron exclusive.

Let me know what y...

October 20 Update

Hi everyone,

I got a quick update today.

First just a reminder that I'll be changing up the patreon starting October 29th to focus on weekly comic pages and posting finished art pieces whenever they're done instead of the end of the week. Here's a summary of the changes, this will be the last time I'll post it, just wanted to make sure people had a few chances to see it.

And now fo...

Art Practice: Constructing the Figure in Perspective

Hi everyone.

Someone has been asking about figure construction so I made some examples drawings, both as warmups for myself and examples for constructing the figure. Drawing poses at difficult angles or in perspective is easier when you have a solid understanding of the figure constructed as basic shapes.

Thanks!

October 16 Update

Hi everyone,

Just a short update today.

First off, if you missed it: I'll be restructuring the patreon at the end of the month to work better with the schedule for a new job I'll be starting next year. Here's a summary of the changes:

I am always willing to answer any questions about the patreon structure if you have any, just DM me.

The Tsunade poll also ended. Here's the re...

October 2023 Artwork Week 2

Hi everyone,

Here's this week's art drop:

1. Previews.

2-3. DGDO Page 15. We're up to Page 15. I'm aiming to pick up the pace by going back to weekly pages next month. I want to get to the final scene and introduce some extra (familiar) characters to the comic.

4-5. Poste & Del Send Noods. A little pinup comic of Poste and Del. I went for a cel shaded style for this one with a little comic book texture in the shadows. I like this style, I think it's clean. I'll lik...

October 13 Big Update

Hi everyone,

I have a bit of a big update today. I'll start with the big thing:

I will be taking on a new job starting next year, the work schedule will be more strict than my current job so I'll have to make some changes to how I run the patreon to give me more wiggle room during the transition. I made a chart to illustrate the changes:

The big thing is I want to focus the patreon...

Art Tip: Chest in Perspective

Hi everyone,

Here's a tip requested by a patron. Drawing the torso in perspective is hard, but practicing the basic shape (cube/block) in perspective is way easier. From there studying and practicing the full figure in perspective will be easier.

Hope that helps.

Thanks again!

October 9 Update

Just some quick updates today.

The Tsunade poll is open. You can vote here before the 15th: https://www.patreon.com/posts/art-poll-october-90588650

October 2023 Artwork Week 1

Hi everyone,

Here's this week's art drop:

1. Previews.

2-3: Big Butt Letta. I wanted to do a full render of Letta's butt so I brought out my old painting style for this. It started as a sketch and then I added base colors underneath and merged them all together before painting on top of the sketch/line art. Next painting of Letta will be lewder.

4-5: Goblin Sketch. Requested on discord was some goblin art for Gobtober. I'm a fan of fantasy creatures so I made this as a...

Art Study: Sketching Legs

Hi everyone,

Here's a little studying I did on legs and some notes on stuff I noticed and think is important to keep in mind. I think keeping the in/out movement of the curves helps make an appealing sketch.

Hope that helps. Thanks again!
