Let's follow up with Match 3

Match 2

Let's follow up with Match 2

Match 1

Given some of you have asked me about the polls and not being able to vote on Twitter, I've thought about it and decided I'll make separate Patreon exclusive polls. The only caveat is that I'll have to make a separate post for each poll, so apologies in advance if you get several notifications at once.

Thanks for your continued support!

Big Summer Bloat-out Knockout bracket

So, this is how the matchups ended up. You can start making your predictions. This bracket will go live tomorrow, along with the first 4 matches, over on my Twitter. 

Be on the lookout and support your favorite characters, so they can reach the finals and be fattened up!

Take care!

WG drive Roster

Here's the final image for the character roster for the drive. Also added an instructional image to post with it on Twitter. On FA I have the benefit of having a space to write instructions, heh.

Will post the actual bracket tomorrow, and how the match-up's ended up.

Hope you've liked how it's looking so far.

Take care!

WG Drive bracket icons - Part 2

Wanted to upload them earlier, but IRL got in the way. Anyways, here's the other half of the chosen possible players for the drive. 

Enjoy!

WG Drive bracket icons - Part 1

As I mentioned on a previous post, over the summer I plan to do a WG drive to gather funds to sustain myself over the periods when school is on break and for my eventual move at the end of the year. Here's the first half of the selected participants. I'll post the other half tomorrow. On Saturday you'll have an exclusive preview of the knockout bracket before it goes live on Monday.

The access to...

King of the beach - WIP

It's hard to go back to drawing after a while of not doing it. But that's the thing about work responsibilities, the take priority.

Anyways, this one has a funny story behind it: An IRL friend of mine whom I met a few years back, as we were getting to know each other, I mentioned I did furry commissions (just omitted the part of what kind). That piked her interest. Over time, we started confiding more and more on each other, so got to a point where she asked again of what I drew, and ve...

Break over

Apologies if I've been a bit quiet on this front. On Monday had to turn in all grades from school, so decided to take a quick break from it all to recuperate.

Should be back to the races over the weekend.

Thanks for your patience!

Drinking a chocolate waterfall YCH (WIP)

DISCALIMER: This is a proof of concept, not the final product.

Recently saw a pic referencing the "Commando Duck" But instead of the life raft, it was a character getting absolutely massive from drinking from the waterfall. That got me thinking. 

As of late, I've seen some expansion pics referencing Augustus' climb up the chocolate pipe. And there's always the classic blueberry gum expansion. Very rarely, I've seen expansion started from drinking from the river, but never rea...

The Hills of Hollywoo

Keeping on with the Bojack theme, I think this is by far my most detailed character piece to date. That and the blobbiest.  

Can't remember who, but read over on Twitter some folks describing drawing blobs akin to doing abstract paintings or landscapes, so decided to give it a go. And who better subject than the horse with no self-control.

Tried another method of shading, mixing both soft and cel shading. Hope you like it! Comments are more than welcome.

Where I'm at

Hello everyone!

Hope you’re doing well. It’s been quite a while since I’ve made one of these update-type journals. So here it goes.

2023 has been an interesting year so far. Plans that I had made are going along fine, but there were others that sprung up, and I've been thinking on how to carry them out.

Teaching

Some of you might know, but for those of you who don’t, I teach freshmen in high school as my IRL job. The system in Mexico is a bit d...

Bojack blobface

Wanted to try my hand going very big this time around and do a blob face for a change. Also haven't properly shaded anything in a while so this is a 2-for-1 piece.

Enjoy!

Broad Bogo

After seeing some edits on Twitter decided to try my hand at drawing Bogo, as well as making it into a late birthday gift for my friend Dragontzin. (Uploaded here with his permission)

Enjoy!

Rocko's Modern Obesity

Finished cleaning it up that earlier Rocko sketch. Hope his heftiness comes through!

Enjoy!

Binging Bovine

Well, I've done Rocko in the past, guess it was time to draw his hefty friend Heffer. Decided to recreate that well known title card with my own spin on it.

Hope you like it!

Enjoy!

Blobjack Horseman

Over the weekend started just doodling freely to see what would come off of it. Last couple pieces I've gone for a more restrained approach in terms of size, but this time around wanted to experiment with the opposite side of the spectrum. 

I find blobs are deceptive, because you can lose al sense of anatomy rather quickly, and it all ends becoming just a bunch of circular shapes put together. Guess that's why I've stayed away from them for so long. Although I know of a couple of a...

Mr Pea(r)body

I couldn't find a more fitting title, so I'll leave it as is until I can think of one. 

Had Mr Peabody on my radar for a bit. And since I've been working on comms, decided to tackle it as a warmup and experiment of sorts. Hope you like it!

Added the very first rough pass and a first clean up pass.

Enjoy!

Who's for dinner?

I've been really liking sketching with Procreate's gouache brush. It's a tip I heard that sketching with a thicker brush, it helps to avoid adding much detail early on and forces you to focus on the shapes themselves. 

For this piece, it's been a while since I've been wanting do draw Heffer, and what better way than to pay homage to a specific title card. If your unfamiliar with that particular episode, Heffer invites Rocko to dinner to meet his family. Rocko has never met Heffer's...

Rotund Rocko

This started out as a study but thought of drawing Rocko again.

Enjoy!

Bulky Bugs

A lot of time in between games can have a toll on one's body. Good he has cartoon physics on his side...

It's been quite a while since I drew any of the Looney Tunes, let alone Bugs himself. Even though is a more restrained shape than what I usually do, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Decided to do a classic Tune Squad unform as well.

Family Pet Sizes - Future

With tech like a food replicator, it's surprising it didn't happen sooner! Astro being this huge, at least George doesn't have to worry about being stuck on the treadmill again.

2nd and final part of this pets made huge. Chose these two, since they met up in a crossover film and their shows were kind of similar but in different settings.

Enjoy!

Family Pet Sizes - Past

What would happen if Dino was actual dinosaur sized??? Well Pebbles seems to be enjoying spending some time with the family pet.

Something I've been meaning to draw for a while. And it was about time I started going through the Hanna-Barbera roster of characters outside of Scooby-Doo.

Enjoy!

Expanding Max

Starting to fall short with Max Goof's titles. But anyways, here's a couple images of the largest student his university has ever seen. And shows no sign of stopping eating anytime soon. Is he going to become the regional eating champion?

Apologies for the delay in posting time. Got caught up in some stuff at the end of the year, and also wanted a break from everything. Hope you like these pieces as much as I do!

QUICK UPDATE: Colored the burger lineart with corresponding colors....

Bulky Bojack

It was one of those days that no matter how much effort you put into drawing, nothing seems to come out right, and you just end up frustrating yourself, you know what I mean?

Managed to draw this as some sort of a warm-up. Well, it was as a sketch, that decided to clean up a bit, but still trying to avoid overusing the zoom. Kinda like if I was drawing it on real paper. Looked through some of my references and tried channeling a bit of Greenendorf's stacked body shapes for Bojack here...
