Thanks for the submissions, everyone! I put some extra effort in this time, I hope it shows!
That's it for this month for Ripped Abs Patreons, but if you're a member of the Chiselled Washboard tier there'll be a new sketch call for you soon!

After a few months outside the Metaverse, Futaba finds her new hobbies have had an unintended effect with her old costume...
Long overdue with this one, finished Persona 5 Royal and Futaba's only the first of the characters on my list to draw.
Who are your favourite Persona characters? P5 or otherwise.

Finished a playthrough of Persona 5 Royal a while ago now and this is much overdue!
2023-09-12 17:59:59 +0000 UTC View PostWith the previous discord theme running strong, it's time to start thinking about the theme for the second.
The winner of this poll will be the theme for the second half of the month, starting 15th September. Join if you haven't already! - www.discord.gg/DcHwwRywrz
Keeping it simple for this first try - let's hear your favourite body part!

Hadn't originally planned on making this but it occured to me as I was drawing the alt. This is really quite a quick experiment just using the two frames and a couple of tricks to smooth it out.
What do you think? Is this something you'd like to see more of with other pictures?
Did a little extra with this one, and there's a surprise to come in a few more days with a little something I've been trying out. Hope you guys like seeing Rachel again!

About time I brought Rachel back, I think!

On topic if possible! (ripped girl, pose/workout/costume) Fan art is preferred.
The deadline for entries is 7th September, with submissions posted on the 14th!
This is for both £8 and £4 Patrons - I know things have changed a little bit recently so if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.
2023-09-02 17:54:16 +0000 UTC View PostEvery two weeks we're going to be running with a new theme over on the discord (www.discord.gg/DcHwwRywrz) where anybody can post pictures to the #theme-challenge room based on the active theme.
The current theme is scars! Badass women marked by battle and a life of danger, and all the more beautiful...
2023-09-01 19:43:23 +0000 UTC View PostHi everybody - I wanted to write a little update to keep you informed on what I'm working on going forward, and to specify the changes to Patreon going forward.
There will be two calls for sketch requests next month, one where both £8 and £4 patrons can request sketches, then later in the month there'll be a separate call for £8 patrons second requests.
I'm also excited to announce that we'll be running polls on here for the subject of the Theme Challenge on Discord - this was ...

Last round for the month, and last round before the new tier/rules come in next month.
Thankyou so much for all your suggestions! With the new conditions I hope to keep these sketches to the same high standard well into the future!

It's hard to get these kinds of things off the ground so I'd really appreciate anyone sharing it.
Anyway, enjoy!
2023-08-29 21:46:41 +0000 UTC View PostLike the last part of the update, this is more of a story segment that I haven't fully stitched into the main plot yet. Still, I'd promised something for this month and don't like to disappoint!

Ruby has a new trick to help build up her abs - whether she's at her limit or not!
Do you think she'll be able to reach Yang's level?

Got the She-Ra trio this time! Funny to see what comes up together by coincidence.
Thankyou again for the submissions!
Next call will be out soon, and this time the sketches will be delivered on the last day of the month - following that, in September we'll be moving to the 1 sketch for £4 Patrons, 2 for £8.

Finished tribute to https://twitter.com/ChloeLouvre - with some abs, of course.

Some of you might recognise this one. Chloe's a character of SrGrafo over on https://twitter.com/ChloeLouvre - They've done a great series of drawings reaching all the way to 1000 so I thought this would be a great way to show my love for the character!

Quite a few bicep curls this time! Some fun characters and interesting designs, too. Anyway, next call for sketches will be up tomorrow.
This will also be the last month where £4 Patrons can get TWO sketches for the month, so be sure to get yours in!

As voted by you guys, the latest RWBY art is focusing on Yang! Still tirelessly training her obsessively ripped abs, she realises there may be a threat to her dominance on the horizon...
2023-08-06 19:59:39 +0000 UTC View Post
As per the latest poll, next RWBY artwork is going to feature Yang! This is basically becoming a mini-series in itself so I hope you like where it leads.
Left the references on and the different coloured guides for those who are a bit more interested in seeing how I work.
2023-08-03 21:27:56 +0000 UTC View PostWith July coming to a close I wanted to write a little bit about my future plans and again reiterate how happy I am with how the Patreon is doing so far - with DeviantArt being so filled with AI, and Twitter being, well... whatever it is right now, I seriously doubt I'd be as motivated to draw as I am with your support and feedback. The stories and continued art improvement are thanks to you.
Speaking of stories, I've made a lot of headway on Ellie's Stress Test - I'm certai...

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.
Despite the peaceful nature of the air nomads, the final trial of the main elements is no less treacherous than the previous three. During a dangerous storm and in howling winds, Korra is bound tightly to an air glider and sets off her flight from a mounta...

What a month! This is the most sketches by far for one round, although admittedly there were a couple of runovers from last month that I'd missed.
These are always great practice and I'm happy I can show my thanks for your support, but as the requests grow in popularity I'm finding myself having a harder time keeping up. I'll go into more detail in a future post and give you all plenty of advanced notice, but I'm considering switching things up to allow for onl...
