Spa Day

Remember to treat your ferret this season!

Although uh, maybe give him a bit of a bigger modesty cloth next time.

Call On Me

I feel like everyone has seen that one music video, so you know I had to paint Rocket in it.

"Look, a hero like yours truly needs to limber up before a mission. You don't mind if I do a couple sets, do ya pal?~"

Night Moves

"Strange how the night moves, with autumn closing in."

I just wanted to do some more introspective Rocket- I think we all get a little reflective when looking at the moon.

Guns Out

Given how most weapons that Rocket makes are about the size of his body, naturally he's got a good bit of upper body strength to operate them.

"Listen bud, I get it- it's not every day you get to feast on the peak male form. Go on, pal, take it all in."

--

Just a bit of practice with my favorite boy!

Do Not Touch

Someone left an anonymous tip that the Historic Fashion Archive had a very robust clothing-based detection system, leading to Mr. Wolf's "creative" plan for his heist.

I think they left out that the glass has touch sensors.

"Oh uh, hey officers."

As usual the speedpaint of this is attached below!

Cock Wash 3000

Just some practice of Blender's dynamic hair systems; so have some good old-fashioned junk scrubbin'!

Also I don't know if there's a name for this kink, but god I need it.

Please, put me in the cock wash.

Scrubdown

After the Athlima Summit, Macsen was just looking for a private bath to unwind- Although it looks like he's got a bit of company...

I'm sure he won't mind gettin' them all clean, right?

Macsen and the Clutchmates are from Eddio's game Killigan's Treasure!

The World

Sometimes when it matters most, you have to pull out the last card in your deck.

I recently finished all of Persona 3 and wanted to make a piece that summed up how I would want to look if I was in the game.

Personas are almost always non-human mythological figures that have been in the public consciousness for a good while, so I decided that my personal persona would be Aslan from "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"

I'd have to go with bless skills, and want to b...

Crossed Wires

For the fourth time this week, the ship's cooling system is on the fritz- meaning another few hours of sweating in the engine room while being Rocket's assistant.

Somehow, you don't really mind all that much.

"What, you just gonna stand there? Quit gawking and gimme a paw with this, will ya?"

--

As usual the timelapse for this piece is below!

Immersion Therapy

The good news is that Rocket is slowly getting over his fear of water.

The bad news is that now, because of you, he's a little too into it.

"Well, what are you waiting for? This tail ain't gonna scrub itself."

--

Once again, I had an urge to paint my favorite character.

We all deserve to have someone help us through our past trauma, so I really wanted to depict him getting to a place where he's healed an old wound; at least, comfortable enough to get a little ...

Dead End

You had sworn you had lost him a half hour ago, but it looks like the keeper of the labyrinth has found you.

Maybe you can strike a deal with him to aid in your escape?

--

I wanted to try a piece that felt like it belonged in an old card game! I did a mock up of what it might look like as well as a real card, and I really like how the final piece came out.

As usual, the timelapse for this piece can be found below!

The Emperor

I wanted to do something mystical for the autumn season, so here's my take on the Emperor arcana from the Tarot!

So go have that leadership and courage you know you have, and take control of the situation.

Also make sure you put your fat balls on your scepter, because you're worth it.

--

As usual, a progress video for how this piece came together is below!

Nip in the Air

Mac is no stranger to the mid-harvest break, and his total privacy on the farm tends to result in some unorthodox methods of letting off steam.

Check below for the progress video!

Party Animal

The hottest nightclub in town is "Dark Horse", and they have everything:

Body painting, glow sticks, and a headliner that you do NOT want to miss.

Just be careful if you're in the splash zone, I hear that neon cum stains are hard to get out.

Music: GOLDEN GOOSE by Connor Price

Marking His Territory

During their annual road trip, Jack decided to pull over and mark a spot by the rocks to remember the trip by. Legoshi also decided to mark the spot, in a...slightly different way.

Good thing Jack always has his travel camera ready.

Waters of Life

Prior to Tuchanka's discovery of large-scale weapons, I like to imagine their society was very ritual-based, with spiritual leaders guiding ceramonies for different aspects of Krogan life.

Here is the Oracle of the Maw, one such leader who is enjoying one of his clans' healing springs. Although clearly he's ready to engage in the Rite of Fertility, if he so chooses.

You can find the timelapse of this piece attached below!

Broad Strokes

I've been asked before about my process for creating animations, so I thought I'd give a overview of my process for anyone who was curious, or for those who wanted to try making animations themselves!

For those who simply want to see the final product, the video is attached below.

I've included images of each step, and below I'll give a description below of what's happening for each of them.

Let's animate some lewd stuff!

Step 1: I make a...

Double Down

The fun thing about modular pressurized armor is that you can take off individual pieces at will, leading to some...less than savory games during this year's Galactic Summit.

Here, Garrus is learning the hard way that the Krogan ruleset for strip poker is slightly different than the rest of the galaxy.

Boy's Trip

Here is the entire piece in one!

I've always wanted to do a triptych: an art piece that's in 3 panels. And because this piece is one, that means that my title is a quadruple pun:

Boy's Trip : The trip to the lake where they're skinny dipping

Boy Strip: The act of the guy's taking off their clothes

Boy's Trip: The act of falling over their own clothing while escaping

Boy's Trip: A triptych, a 3 panel art piece, featuring the boys

This was a l...

Louis's Trip

And the finale!

Louis's antlers seem to be a pretty good clothes hook during a quick escape, although it looks like one of his more private pieces of clothing is just out of his reach.

I'm sure Jack will give them back.

Eventually.

Jack's Trip

A continuation of an earlier piece!

Jack is used to making a quick escape after a not-so-private skinny dipping session, but here he seems to have snagged an extra pair of shorts.

Keen eye viewers can probably guess who these belong to.

Maybe we'll even see him in the future!

Legoshi's Trip

Note to self: whenever Jack spots a "totally secluded" watering hole for skinny dipping, be sure that there aren't any "private property" signs around.

Also note to self, buy some new pants.

Window of Opportunity

After a hot day, the boys relax inside for a nice soak- but Louis forgot the cardinal rule of hanging out with Jack:

Always keep an eye on your clothes.

Timelapse attached below!

Law of the Land

Jack's invitation to a "totally private beach" he found online might be a bit less private than his roommates assumed.

Oh well, when in Rome, I suppose.

Timelapse for this painting is below!

A Quick Peek

While drying off their clothes, the boys tend to let their eyes wander a bit - after all, who hasn't stolen a glance or two to see what the others are packing?

Timelapse below!

Clothing Optional

The boys invite Louis to the local watering hole for a quick dip, but he really should have known better when they said that clothing was optional.

Clothing is never optional when Jack is here.

Attached is the timelapse for this piece

Come and Get It

Legoshi was a little shy about skinny dipping in the local lake, so Jack decided that some "encouragement" was required.

Attached below is the painting progress video!

The Water's Fine

Here, Jack is helping his roommate experience the great outdoors, and clearly Legoshi is enjoying it a little too much.

Looks like Jack is, too.

Au Naturale

"Dude, are you coming in or what? Look, I even put up a privacy cloth, you can't see a thing!"

...Should we tell him?

--

Some more painting experimentation, this time with a combination of photomoshing real life photography, 3D models, and some lighting references. Attached below is the timelapse for how I did it!

Knock your Socks Off

Legoshi and Jack really have to keep better track of their stuff - they always seem to lose their belongings at the worst possible time.

Don't worry, that's what borrowing from your roommate is for!
