Forbidden Fruit

"C'mon bud, just one bite- trust me, there's nothin' like 'em. Seriously, what's the worst that can happen?"

--

Here we see Rocket learning why they're called the Rycanthian Passion Fruit: a native plant known for its strong aphrodisiac effects in...certain species.

Spring Break

"Quill, listen, ya gotta try one of these little pink things; I've had like 9 of 'em already."

"...what do you mean 'side effects'?"

--

A tropical planet is always a great way to unwind after a successful mission- just make sure to study up on the local flora first.

Gold Edition

After his commanding title victory, "The Secret Weapon" made a huge splash in the adult publication market, with eager fans desperate to see every inch of the mysterious overnight sensation.

Every inch that he was willing to show, anyway.

Title Match

You know, there was something strikingly familiar about the new entrant, dubbed "The Secret Weapon".

No one in attendance figured he'd make it past the first round, but that's when he pulled out his signature move: The Ballistic Missile.

And the rest is history.

Art Print Poll!

Have you ever wanted a physical print of one of my pieces? Let me know!

I'm currently in the process of setting up a small batch of prints on Streamily, and wanted to hear which pieces you'd want to see in the store!

Feel free to reply below which pieces you'd want to see!

Top Shelf

A few people say that it was the potent Rengrax Venom that made Aphrodisia such a popular drink among single aliens back in the day.

But everyone knows it was the advertising that was really doing the selling.

I've included both the retro version and clean version of this piece, as well as a timelapse below!

Cosmic Connection

"My dear mortal, a truce with Targon does not come easily. The price for such a bond is quite steep; I hope you're ready for quite a long and...carnal commitment, little one."

--

I really wanted to finally do something with Aurelion Sol, and look-
I'm just here to heal a nation. If I have to get up close and personal with space dragon dick, that's a risk I'm willing to take.

Flash from the Past

"Listen, Quill, quick question for ya. Tell me, do any of your stupid humie characters from your stupid terran games have, ya know, a SHRED of decency?"

Looks like the Milano got a new gaming VR setup, and the ports of all the old classic games seem to be very...accurate.

XRV Cruise Control

Listen, if an armament company is offering free ship upgrades in exchange for a couple pantsless shots, you ALWAYS take that deal. Just be ready to hide the evidence in a place other than your sock drawer, or it might be discovered years later.

Recommended Dose

Jack didn't expect the delicious-looking drink in his buddy's locker to be quite so...potent. Ah well, I'm sure he can get it under control before practice starts, right?

--

I totally forgot to upload this higher quality version of this gif, plus the HQ video version below-

Enjoy!

XRV Choma V9

The new ship-tech catalog is out, and guess who managed to make this month's issue?

Timelapse below!

Rematch

"...I told ya I wasn't gonna go easy on ya. What's the score now, 23-0? Look, buddy- I'm gonna level with ya, here. We can spend the next hour making it an even 50, or maybe we can enact a bit of a...mercy rule. Whatcha say, pal?"

Timelapse below as usual!

XRV Centerfold

A new armament manufacturer has kicked off their new ad campaign with a bang- and the model in the centerfold looks a bit familiar.

Alt versions and timelapse below!

Nick Wilde Turnaround

More fur testing! I've been getting more consistent with my workflow, and here I wanted to see how the fur reacted to some simple animation.

I received some requests to experiment with this model, so enjoy some Nick Wilde rump shaking.

Mr Wolf Clothing Turnaround

I wanted to do some more practice with Blender's toolsets, including hand-modeling the clothing, experimenting with GreasePencil, and getting more comfortable with the fur system.

I still have a lot to learn, but this exercise taught me a lot!

Plus I added an alt - You didn't think I'd forget the best part, did you?

Cargo Load Cover Art

“Hey, a bet’s a bet. And look, I won’t charge extra for the show. We’ll consider it part of your half of the reward.”

And lastly, here's the cover art of my illustrated story "Cargo Load"!

Payload

"Okay, so the last mission didn't go...exactly how we expected. Sue me. But hey, being a merc means that sometimes, ya gotta improvise. "

 --

This is the final part of my illustrated story "Cargo Load".

Cargo Load

I'm so excited to announce the completion of my illustrated story Cargo Load!

I've hired author DolphinSanity to bring together my Rocket pieces into one illustrated story, available for free on Itch.io

And because I love those gamer preorder bonuses, I've included a 3D model of Rocket's toy from the comic, free to do whatever you wish with it!

Just be sure to tag @SidekicksArt!

Thank you to everyone who supporte...

Cover Story

"Look, Officer, of course it was all part of the plan. After all, we got the flarkin' job done, what more do you people want? So let's put this behind us and fork over that reward for saving your precious cargo and- wait, what's the camera for? No, no, wait..!"

Busted

"Mmmf, f-fire in the hole! H-hoo yeah, ya like what ya see, rookie? That's a load of primo Halfworld DNA right there. F-flark yeah, here's some real firepower; take it all, ya little...!

OH, scut.

I mean...uh, good evening, officers."

Punk Tactics

I wanted to do some more quick animation practice, experimenting with some rough blockout animation and some 2D scratchy effects.

Video down below!

Song : "Punk Tactics" by Joey Valence & Brae

Need Fulfillment

Look, all I'm saying is that Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs happens to match up with...certain things. Purely a coincidence, I'm sure.

Now get in there, pal.

Door Duty

"Okay listen, rookie- Nova Corp's gonna be busting in any minute. I'll need you to keep an eye on the hatch behind me while I finish up here. It's...j-just a few more seconds, bud...just uh, gimme the signal when you...hear 'em...coming...!"

Timelapse Below!

Desperate Measures

"Alright, the fuzz are on their way, but we still got a problem. See this knot here, rookie? There's only way way this thing's comin' off- so we're gonna turn this little dial here all the way up. Better step back, pal, there's gonna be some fireworks."

--

Timelapse below!

Light 'Em Up

"Alright bud- first we'll nab the last bandit, get this off my junk, then claim that reward. I'll need ya to hold that flashlight real steady for me. Just a little higher, bud, a little high- wait, what the flark are you doin' back there, rookie?"

--

Timelapse below, as usual!

Honeypot

"Alright, new plan. First we bag these guys for the reward, THEN we get me off- er, get this thing off me. And not a WORD about this to anyone on the ship, understood? Good. Now, cover my flank, rookie."

--

Let's see if Rocket is as good with his rifle as he is with his...rifle.

Timelapse is below!

Contraband

"...so anyways, I configured a low-power tractor beam on the inside, which really gives it a- oh you gotta be flarking kidding me. NOW these scut-bags decide to take the bait? Seriously?"

--

To be fair, Rocket had been waiting for the local gang to attempt to steal the cargo for an entire day.

You can't blame him for getting...distracted.

Smuggling Goods

"Listen, don't tell the others, but I made this bad boy for just this type of occasion. Look, it's not like we're doin' anything productive- Now, watch and learn, rookie."

--

Rocket knows that these stakeouts tend to last all day, so he usually packs some of his homemade "entertainment", just in case.

He didn't count on company during this mission, but something tells me he doesn't mind.

Holding Cargo

"Yes, it's real. Yes, it works. Now pay up, pal."

--

While on a cargo bay stakeout mission with Rocket, there's a lot of waiting around.

This tends yield three things: probing questions, stupid bets, and realizing that your shipmate is absolutely packing heat.

--

As usual, timelapse for this piece is below!

Routine Maintenance

"You know it's funny- it all hurts a lot less when you're around."

--

Rocket's status as a genetic experiment comes with the responsibility of monthly upkeep.

I think he's realized that it all goes by lot faster with someone else in the room.
