UPDATE: Added an additional extra wet version and it's associated closeups. I realised I wanted this to be a bit messier so I thought I'd share with you all 😉

Something a heck of a lot saucier (in more ways than one!)
This may not go out to twitter/blue sky for a while (if ever) because of those platforms rules, but I will be teasing it over the next few days.
Enjoy!

My friend Enola_Sketches on Instagram is doing a DTiYS and I thought I'd take part :D
First slide is the final piece, 2nd is a slightly older version (wasn't happy with her face) the 3rd is the original colour version before I scrapped it and started again, 4th slide is the tight sketch, and the final 5th slide is Enola's artwork.
Go check her out on IG, she's awesome - https://www.instagram.com/...

I hope you've all had a good easter. 🐰👯♀️

FINALLY the return of Dee! An amazing photographer, stylist, model, editor, creative mind and great friend. With all of those things in mind I've found it pretty difficult to add something of my own to her work (in fairness, I'm just overthinking, as usual) but the latest set she posted last week just got the creative juices flowing and I saw this image in my head of her looking back over her shoulder with the wind blowing her hair across the image (in hindsight, this is becoming ...

Quick sketchy study of Mercedes, based on a photo by Simon Morton. I won't share the ref here just because I don't wanna get in trouble. It is on my IG though if you'd like to see.

In the realm of fantasy rpgs everyone knows this one universal truth: The smaller the bikini, the higher the armour rating, and so I figured in that world, shiny metal tape would be overpowered as fuck. Enter, the Black Tape Armour of Light.
Genuinely I have no idea where this came from, but it's turned into something pretty fun (I think) The monsters are all made up, I basically just thought "what's creepy and fits into a fantasy rpg universe, and how would Joe Madure...

I know it's been a minute on this one, tbh I had no plan in mind for the colour when I started this last year and it's had a few false starts but we're finally here!
I've felt like I've relied on glowy overlays to pull pieces together lately so I actively worked NOT to do that this time and I really like the look of it.

In a seasonal twist...
For oncein my life I've done a piece without any linework!
Hope you like it 🫶

What started as a study of a photo turned into a full blown double dose of Dainty. This now is both a (hopefully) cool pinup of Ms Wilder and also a little nod and a wink to one of her most famous videos (if you know, you know 😈)
In the early versions of this I had the lettering read "Choose your Dainty" but it made the layout unbalanced so I switched it to "Pick your Dainty" - it doesn't quite have the same flow to it, but it makes the layout work so sometimes you just have to...

During the last show of the tour the guitarist noticed 2 fans *really* enjoying his solos, air guitarring along to every note they were loving the show! Afterwards as he was helping the roadies load up the gear, the 2 girls found him and asked for his autograph and asked a few questions about the songs. He showed them a couple of licks on a guitar he grabbed out of it's rack and they complimented his fingering - "could you show us just how good your fingers are?" they asked......

Like most people I'm back to work tomorrow; the problem is, I haven't drawn anything successfully since the christmas pinup, and it's been getting to me. Yes, drawing is work, and yes I do need a break from it occasionally, but I do still LOVE drawing and it's one of my favourite hobbies, so not being able to do it sucks.
Anyway, with nothing new coming out well, and digging into unfinished projects being unsuccessful too, I decided I'd have a go at redrawing one of my oldest HRB ...

Just a little something for fun that got very out of hand! Wearing my J Scott Campbell influence on my sleeve on this one. Hope you like it. I've included all the slides for instagram and the original idea which was to have our lady be pantsless - She's definitely on the naughty list 😉
Merry Christmas to you all, thankyou so much for being here ❤️

I saw these two doing their thing on tiktok and knew I had to draw it at some point. It's a super quick piece for me, less than 90 minutes start to finish, and all done in photoshop instead of hopping around different apps. The likenesses are crap but hey ho 😅

Here's the third and for now final commission of Nynfaé - this time deeeeeeep under water checking out the reefs of the darkest depths of the ocean.
I haven't done much shiny stuff for a while so combining glowing RGB panels and latex underwater was a big (and fun) challenge!
Thanks again for the commission my friend!
Which version do you prefer? Without the hood, or with? Let me know :D

All over your face Bahahaha.
That's funny because, this Freya is from God of War Ragnarok, and Ragnarok is preceded by Fimbulwinter (Fimbulvetr)... and it's December 1st, so... winter... yeah anyway, moving on.
I've wanted to do a Jess Nigri pinup for the longest time and it's finally happened! It was a toss up between the full Valkyrie Queen Freya or the more on-brand-for-me bikini version... obviously I went with the bikini version. There's a few tiny tweaks in...

Just a quick update to let everyone know (though you may have already seen the news) I've been accepted onto InPrnt's platform for print on demand products! I've uploaded 4 of my recent(ish) favourites, but I'm asking on all socials which pieces you'd like to see up there! Bear in mind, inprnt do NOT allow fanart or explicit content, so that limits the options a little bit 🙃
I've put them all up as prints and posters + cards for now; they do offer stickers but they're qui...

This commission landed at just the right time for me - I'd been wanting to do something a little Frank Cho/Arthur Adams inspired, and I was preparing to do a Red Sonja piece (I still, in fact, might!) and then this landed. I was like "oh shit, perfect timing, let's GO!"
This is set in the Conan Exiles universe. The story here is that the two downed characters had taken the standing character hostage and she's broken free and ended their reign of terror. (I'm dancing ar...

So when I was looking through those Mercedes stickers the other day I found a folder of designs I was prepping for Redbubble (back when I had a storefront there, before they banned me without giving a reason) and one of the designs was this booty spreading one. I still kind of liked it, and I thought screw it, let's update the sketch.
It's based on a shot from Evil Angel of Kelsi Monroe and for obvious reasons I can't share that reference here, but a quick google will sort you out...

So a while back I made some stickers for Mercedes Valentine.
They're loosely based on some of the shenanigans of her tiktok lives and the idea was for them to be digital stickers for use by subscribers. Whether they'll actually get used in that capacity is anyone's guess, but I couldn't help myself and put them into a layout for print - and I think they look pretty cool!
Would you buy a set? 👀

This character was a lot of fun to draw. Pose-wise this one's much simpler than part one, but there's loads of elements to her and they've all got gradiated colour so getting everything to read right was a fun challenge.
This pose was a huge challenge to get that torso bend right, and have her feel connected to the rocks without you thinking "oof that'd hurt"
Love the colours on this and I can't wait to share the second part of this.
First of the new batch of commissions!
This was a riot to do. Client had perfect reference, but was happy to give me a bit of freedom with it too. (I can't share the ref here because of TOS) I suggested that rather than a "simple" 6 on one, we go for Lara helping a group of tribesmen with a sacred ritual.
After that it came together pretty quickly. Thanks so much for commissioning me.
There's three more to come from this batch, then I might open another set...

Don't worry, it's not the final pinup I'll ever do. It's in reference to the horror movie trope of a girl surviving to the end.
The difference here is that instead of the story having her cry into the arms of some generic white cop that turns up once the carnag...

I had this called "lady of the pools" for so long but that name is abysmal lol.
This started life as a study of a girl emphasising her 11th toe, then turned into a fantasy thing with an elf emerging from a lake, then sat dormant for 2 years... I tried to resurrect it once already, and that ended up being the girl with the shirt off her shoulders (which has since gone on to become my most popular piece on instagram would you believe?)
This time I decided to stick to the origi...

Anyone remember those Cammy sketches I shared a few months back? Well, I finally got my finger out and worked on one of them!
Initially I saw this as the classic green leotard Cammy from Street Fighter 2, specifically the animated movie from 1994 (it's still the best anime of all time, FIGHT ME)
But then I remembered I loved the Street Fighter Alpha 3 outfit (my personal favourite ever entry in the series) so I had to do a variant of that. Then I remembered that for so...

Something a liiiiiiitle different in style, if not in substance.
