Hornet - Hollow Knight/Silksong (Sketch WIP)

Based on an old design by Sheepapp on Twitter/DA that I'll link with the full post!

Back from Holiday

Hi all! Quick post to let you all know I'm back. I'd checked in a few times while I'm away but now that I'm properly back, I'm getting through to replying to messages and generally getting ready to make new art.

That is to say, f you're expecting a reply from me and don't get one within a couple of days, feel free to poke me :)

Who would win in a sit-up contest?

I may have undisclosed reasons for asking this... ;)

Fox-girl Cheerleader

Getting the stadium more hyped than the game itself!

Rachel & Amy Planking (Scrap)

Old scrapped artwork that I've dug up while looking for ideas in old files. Couldn't quite get the posing or angle right. Might try again if people like the concept.

Caught Staring...

So uh... how do you get out of this?

Abs Set

In making some fun posts for Twitter I've ended up with quite a few little abs close-ups I thought I'd share here!

Who's best?

Jinx - Animation WIP

Very very rough but I thought I'd have a quick try at bringing one of my favourite drawings of mine to life. I'd like to do more with it, this was a quick proof of concept.

April Sketch Requests

Running this the same as last month.

Instead of two separate rounds, we're going to do just this one! Ripped Abs Patrons can make one request as usual, and Chiselled Washboard Patrons can still make two.

Please leave them in the comments below so I can keep them organised, as usual on the topic of character/outfit/pose.

Small note - if you are entitled to two sketches, you can ask for a double picture instead. Also, if two people want to put their requests together for a duo...

Which story would you like me to focus on writing?

Last month I posted two early-stage previews - you'll be able to find them by searching for the "story" tag. Both really caught me and I had fun with them, but I know I'll need to focus more on one. I thought I'd get a feel for how all you felt about it!

Korra - Lightning Trial [Commission]

Latest in the Korra set of trials commissioned by www.deviantart.com/abysspool

In her everlasting pursuit to strengthen her bond with the elements and the title of Avatar, Korra agrees to undergo a series of brutal and life threatening trials the likes of which haven't been seen for a thousand years.

April Update

We've tried out a few new things this month! I think sketch requests being posted at the start of the month has worked well, and people have enjoyed being able to double up on their Tier 3 requests. It's also given me more scope to get them all in order and drawn by the end of the month, although the number of them is growing.

Still, doing my best to keep up with regular updates! I'm actually away right now (writing this March 26th and posting on a schedule) - a lot of my time this mo...

Patron Game Test - Part 2

Part 1 here!: https://www.patreon.com/posts/100305067

Final part of our game test over on Discord - Lauren's challenge was decided by a new set of cards given out to everyone, points to modify the workout redeemed by each person.

It'd be great if anyone involved could share how they found the project and make any requests for the next one!

Story WIPS - "Augusta the Gladiator" & "Ruby & Weiss"

It's a 2 for 1! I've been torn between two story WIPs and doing a little work on both, so I wanted to keep you posted on what I'm working on! I know a few of you are mainly here for writing.

So, we have a story based on my Gladiator OC, Augusta, and one set in my RWBY AU! Enjoy!

(and bare in mind, these are very early WIPs!)

AUGUSTA THE GLADIATOR

Gold sparkled above Augusta and all around her, glinting from the ornate stands of the colosseum, embellished with ...

March Sketch Requests - Delivery

Phew this was a big one! I'm sure I got through them all but if I've missed anybody out, please let me know.

Hope everybody found the new format easy enough - we'll be doing the same next month, with there being just the one sketch request post and the full set of pictures posted toward the end of the month.

Do be sure to get your requests in! Down the line I'll have to be looking at reworking the sketches - potentially putting prices up a little bit or changing to sketches being ...

Yor's Beach Day (Raffle Winner)

She let Anya pick out her bikini...

Yor Forger - Sketch WIP (Raffle Winner)

Watermelon Miku

Quickie I did for Twitter, the gorgeous original design is here: https://twitter.com/KaatokunArt/status/1767627971055980869

Definitely a bad idea to do this while I'm so busy with sketch requests but hey ho. I'm thinking about doing more of these super quick drawings in future.

Patron Game Test - Part 1

We've been testing out a new game for Patrons over on the discord!

All entrants get to pick from a handful of cards that can upgrade the month's character. The first round, we've toned her up and changed her appearance. For round 2 we're going to be seeing her put those muscles to good use!

All still a test run, but if you want to get involved, join us here in the exclusive Patron room! -2024-03-13 17:57:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Gardevoir - Pokemon Contest [Raffle Winner]

Had fun with this one! Actually has a lot in common with drawing a monster girl. Thought I'd put a fun spin on the Pokemon Contests that were introduced in Gen 3 and also use the opportunity to draw some cute chibis.

Gardevoir - Sketch WIP

Sketch for one of the 3K Twitter follower raffles. I added some cute little additions to this that I'm proud of. Hope you like them too when the full version is out!

Patreon Priority Commissions

Quick monthly update just to say I still have slots open for the 10% off Tier 3 commissions if anybody is interested!

Nemona - Victory Lap

Much belated poll winner - the champ pushes herself just as hard as her pokemon!

What are you looking forward to the most?

Patreon are now including a poll for people signing up fresh - it's really useful information so I thought I'd post a copy of it here so that everyone who's already subscribed can have their say.

Sorry for being a broken record but the feedback is really important to me. Thanks as always!

Nemona - Poll Winner Sketch WIP

Long overdue! But I'm really happy with this (the full version I mean, of course).

Will be out tomorrow!

March Sketch Requests

This month and next month are going to be a little different for sketch requests! After that we'll most likely be returning to normal. I'm going to be away for part of March and April so this is the best way to make sure things run smoothly and everyone gets their rightful requests :)

Instead of two separate rounds, we're going to do just this one! Ripped Abs Patrons can make one request as usual, and Chiselled Washboard Patrons can still make two.

Please leave them in the comment...

Abs Flex Animation Practice

Was trying this out and thought you might like to see the progress...
