The second "installment" of this month's Pic of the Month (the first being "POTM 1: Tetsuko IS Supergirl!"), here's the result of another suggestion by a patron, who wanted to see Sonya and Charlotte in bikinis.
A note about "this" Charlotte: this is Sonya's sister (you can see the "family resemblance", right?); whose career is nude modeling. She portrays a superheroine also named "Charlotte" i...

Suggested by patron John Rikhter, a revisit of the Tetsuko Cosplay Calendar illustration of Tetsuko in a Supergirl costume; only this time, instead of merely cosplaying Supergril, Tetsuko IS Supergirl.
I made a couple of little "adjustments" to her costume: gave her a bare midriff (because hiding abs like hers is a crime); leaving off the pleats her original costume skirt had because it made it easier to draw; and turned the ...

Not the Pic of the Month, but this is a drawing I'm working on (in between pages of Tetsuko's Odyssey and Kaijuu Fighter Tetsuko).
It's Red the Paladin (created by Pumpmonger) in a situation all too familiar to the flame-haired warrior. The inspiration comes from the iconic poster for the 1958 movie Hercules, which sparked the "Peplum"/sword-and-sandal movie genre and made a star of bodybuilder Steve Reeves.

I was hoping to have this done a week ago, but "factors beyond my control" interfered (including a work schedule that had me doing a seven-day stretch between days off - time off I was hoping to use to assemble and post this video).
But finally, here it is. Enjoy, and (although I do insist in the video that this isn't "how to do it" as much as it is "how I do it") I hope you can learn something you can use in your own art.

Something I've been working on here and there, a few minutes at a time, over the past month or so... the first finished page of the first issue of Kaijuu Fighter Tetsuko!
It's actually Page 3–the first two pages tease the first appearance of the issue's monster–but it's the first page that features the main characters. Well, it features Sonya; Tetsuko "appears" as a voice over a phone.
One of several plans I have for 2019 is to publish KFT #1 (as well as ...

Ordinarily I'd consider this an entry for the January 2019 Q & A video, but that won't be coming until the end of the month, and I don't want him to wait that long for the answer.
Plus, if I put a "how-I-do-it" tutorial into the monthly video, I fear it'll make it run too long. Yet I think video–actually ...

Now when you see the full pic, you'll be asking why one of the girls is still dressed. Well, that's because the classic pinup art that inspired this pic had one of its girls still dressed.

It'll feature three of my characters altogether; and if you've guessed one of them will be Tetsuko, give yourself a brownie point! (I'll let the identity of the third one be a surprise.)

This video answers the most questions - 8! - that I've ever had during a month.
It led me to speculate, at the beginning, that this might thus be the longest Q&A video so far. and once I was finished, I saw that it clocks in at 15:20. As it turns out, though, there's one that's longer: at 16:49, the March 2017 Q&A which (among other things) featured an "on location" tour of my workplace (at no...
