(NSFW) POTM: Tetsuko - rear view

I don't draw Tetsuko from the back as much as I probably should. So when I started casting about for subjects for the Pic of the Month (POTM), I decided it should be a nice three-quarter rear view of our favorite blonde muscle-goddess.

The link below will serve up the full-size, uncropped, hi-res art. Enjoy!

(NSFW) Tetsuko's hyper triceps

Another "pencil" sketch I did, yesterday.

I've written often about my reliance on Clip Studio Paint EX for my comics and illustration work; but I have to give a shout-out to Linea Sketch, an iPad app that mostly closely replicates the look and feel of drawing in pencil of any app I've ever used. (My only gripe about Linea Sketch is that its canvas size is limited to the screen size of my iPad; I wish it could support the 2481 x 3507...

Call for Questions - Oct. Q & A

It's the middle of the month; and if you've been a patron for awhile, you know what that means: a Call for Questions for the October 2018 Q & A video.

I've got one question already, but I'd like more. If there's anything you want to know about me, my characters, my work methods, almost anything, slip it into the comments below. Near the end of the month I'll answer those questions in my own inimitable style. ("Inimitable" because who'd want to imitate my voice? lol)

(NSFW) Random muscle girl sketch

After my dismal performance of September, I made a promise to myself, and to you patrons, that I would be posting more drawings here, even if they're "only" sketches.

For example: I did this sketch last night, mostly for practice. I wasn't drawing any particular character, just a "random muscle girl". It came out well enough that I thought maybe you'd like to see it, even in its rough state with minimal editing and polishing.

Note: the pic above is just a lower-resolution preview of the ...

(NSFW) September POTM (finally!)

I really wanted to post this before now, but I just got it finished literally a few minutes ago.

I want to apologize for not being more productive this month. As I mentioned in a previous post, this month has gone by faster than I realized, and I haven't done nearly as much as I wanted to. (Managing my time effectively has been a problem for me for years, and something I can definitely improve on.)

Anyway... as to this pic: the preview above is not the full-size image. That can be downlo...

September 2018 Q and A!

A couple of notes about this video:

Yup, I got a haircut since last time. This time, because I still anticipate another month of hot weather down here in sunny Florida, I got it cut short. Maybe a little too short? ...I never realized before how round my head is!

And... a mistake I made when listing the years of the Summer Olympics; I misspoke (or misread my teleprompter?) and gave the date of the Sydney games as 1998 instead of 1988. I didn't discover m...

Video shoot on Monday

Given my work schedule which has me off Monday and Tuesday of the coming week, looks like I'll be shooting the Q & A video on Monday (or Tuesday, perhaps) so that it can be done before the end of the month.

So I'm closing the call for questions. There's always next month, though!

No questions?

Yes, it's that time: the middle of the month when I renew the Call for Questions for the September Q & A video.

I am a bit surprised there isn't even one question so far. Do you all really know all you want to know about me and my work? Actually, if that's true, that shouldn't be surprising; my life is pretty dull and my work is out there to see.

But if you do have (or can come up with) a question, now's the time to do it. Just leave them in the comments below, then watch near the en...

(NSFW) Sept. POTM WIP

I was casting about for ideas for the September Pic of the Month; I didn't want to draw another "Hyper-Tetsuko" just yet, but I figured you'd like to see another pic of one of my massively-muscled maidens. Then it hit me: the suggestion's been made for a pic of Charlotte getting a shot of Sonya's formula, so why not do that as POTM?

So here's at least a preliminary sketch of such a pic. This may not be the final version of the figures, though, depending on how I feel about the drawing in a cou...

August 2018 Q & A

5 questions this time - 6 if you count the fact that one was sort of a "two-parter".

If you'd like to take part in the September video, leave your question in the comments below. And I'd also love to know what you think of these videos!

(NSFW) POTM: Charlotte's spike wall peril

Spike walls are like chains: I love the idea of my heroines being trapped in them, and I love the sight of my heroines breaking their chains and escaping from the spike traps. But hoo boy, are they pains to draw!! The hundreds of links that have to be drawn in order to render chains, the hundreds (so it seems) of spikes that have to be drawn on the walls in order to show a decently deadly trap...

And Charlotte particularly seems to have a knack for getting trapped in those kinds of perils.

August Q & A Call for Questions

It's the middle of the month, and time for the Call for Questions for the August Q & A video. Ask me anything! The answers will appear before the end of the month.

(NSFW) Preview - Charlotte in the spike trap WIP

Sheesh, seems like all my heroines sooner or later wind up in the spike-wall trap!

In the previous post, I wrote that I hadn't decided whether the "Shy Charlotte" pic would be the Pic of the Month, because there was another drawing I was also considering (plus the possibility of using them both for dual POTMs). This is that drawing.

It's not as far along as "Shy Charlotte", since I have to add color to it still, but once it's finished - whoa!

Preview - Shy Charlotte WIP

I'm taking a bit of a break from the Kaijuu Fighter Tetsuko stuff, and thought that Charlotte might be fun to work on.

I had this drawing in a pencil sketch form already, so I thought I'd refine it and add color to it. And I'll be posting it here for your delectation once it's done. Will it be the Pic of the Month? I haven't decided yet, because there's another Charlotte sketch I'm considering for that honor - and heck, I might just make 'em both POTMs!

UPDATE: Completed NSFW KFT scene

And just as I uploaded the completed, updated "Monolith Man" preview scene PDF for all my patrons, so I've uploaded the completed version of the NSFW version for you $5/month patrons.

So if you would, please replace the incomplete PDFs with this complete version.

UPDATE: There should now be a link to the PDF. I think I jumped the gun and didn't wait for the thing to finish uploading before hitting "Publish". My apologies.

UPDATE: Completed KFT scene

If you recall, the "Comic of the Month" I posted a few days ago was incomplete; I didn't get the final two pages done before the date I'd promised I'd upload something, so I posted PDFs of the incomplete scenes.

I'm happy to say that the final two pages are now complete, the PDFs have been updated, and the scenes now end on the sort-of-cliffhanger I wanted them to end on.

So if you would, please replace the previous versions of the "Monolith Man" comic with this one.

And b...

(NSFW) ...and something for the $5+ patrons

Yes, there's a version for the "KFT vs. Monolith Man"  in which Tetsuko fights the Rock-man naked.

(I still think it's more practical, even though I tried to justify the bikini she wears in the SFW version.)

Page 7 is killing' me, Smalls! (Comic posted)

I was so confident that I'd be able to finish all 9 pages of the special preview scene from Kaijuu Fighter Tetsuko - the first six pages were relatively simple. It was just Tetsuko and the Rock-man, large panels, a desolate landscape that meant minimal backgrounds; I though I could get it all done by today.

Then Page 7 hit. Suddenly I had to draw the inside of the control room that's monitori...

July 2018 Q and A; and KFT Comic progress

I managed to find time away from drawing the "Comic of the Month" to record, edit and post the July Q and A video. (It helps that I'm developing a system that helps save time in getting the material together, and that I'm slowly getting better in the editing end.)

AND! I'm still working on that comic! 6 pages completed, the seventh laid out and penciled, and in the process of inking, and two more to be laid out. (They should be comparatively simple, though, so they should go pretty quickly.) I...

5 pages done - 4 to go!

The "Comic of the Month" I teased in this post will be 9 pages long: this cover you see above, a text page explaining a few things about the series that will help (I hope) in understanding what's going on, and seven pages of story*.

I still hope to get the comic finished AND the Q & A video done before the end of the month. Again, wish me luck!

*One of my favorite phrases from Joe Bob Briggs' ...

Question time!

It's the July Call for Questions for the July Q and A video.

Anything you want to know that I haven't already answered in a previous video, please leave it in the comments below!

Cut-off is Saturday, July 28; the plan (subject to change depending on my work schedule) is to shoot the video on Monday the 30 and have it edited and posted on Tuesday the 31st.

Wish me luck...

I've decided not to do a Pic of the Month this month; instead, it'll be a Comic of the Month!

I've laid out about 4 pages of a scene based on the sketch above, in which Tetsuko (in her "giantess" form) battles a giant monster made of stone, a monster dubbed the "Monolith Man". (Imagine the "rock men" from the movie Hercules Against the Moon Men, only over 300 feet tall.)

I'll be working to try to get the comic (which I think will come out to about 6-8 pages, and will be...

(NSFW) HyperTetsuko lat spread

Something I meant to post over the weekend, but I lost my internet service (as detailed in the previous post).

A patron had asked in the June Q and A video if I planned to do a "huge Tetsuko" lat spread any time soon. Here's my first attempt to do so.

Well, actually I'd tried a straight-on front shot, but that just wasn't coming together like I wanted. And even in this one, the size of the arms interferes with the view of the lats.

I haven't given up yet, but it may be awhile befor...

"You don't know what you got 'til it's gone"

...in my case, Internet access. You have no idea how much a part of your life it is until it goes down.

In my case, it was a lightning strike close to the house that fried my modem last Wednesday. Good thing I had cellular access through my phone so I could contact my ISP so they could ship me another one. Unfortunately their  iOS app didn't get the request through the first time (after it had promised I'd be getting the new one last Friday); when I called them on Monday they said they ne...

June 2018 Q & A video is live!

Six questions this time... eight if you count the fact that one of them was three parts. I believe that's the most I've ever answered in one video! (unless my memory is playing tricks on me, which wouldn't be the first time...)

Anyway, let me know what you think of the video, and (of course) if you have a question for the July video, please feel free to leave it in the comments as well!

(NSFW) June Pic of the Month (already!)

(I say "already" because just yesterday when I posted the WIP screenshot I said I was going to try to get this pic finished by the weekend. But somehow I got "in the zone" last night and this morning, and managed to get this finished much sooner than I thought. Yay me!)

So here she is, friends an' neighbors, in all her radiant glory: hyper-muscular giantess Tetsuko locked in brutal battle with an equally hyper-sized octopus. The story behind this might go something like this (from the descript...

(NSFW) June POTM WIP

...and here's a screen shot of the June Pic of the Month, already in progress.

It's based on the "Tentacles of Terror!" rough sketch I already posted to my DeviantArt account; but for this version I've beefed Tetsuko up considerably. I'm hoping to get this finished and posted by the end of the week.

June Q & A - Call for Questions

Yes, it's the middle-of-the-month Call for Questions for the June Q & A video.

There's only one question so far, and it's kinda lonely. Anything you'd like to ask, please leave it in the comments below.

Then... watch for the video toward the end of the month to see the answer(s)!

(NSFW) Tetsuko - flexing huge (again)

Another drawing I did for practice and other personal reasons ;) which came out good enough I thought I'd share it here.

I do enjoy drawing Tetsuko with huge muscles occasionally... okay, maybe more than just "occasionally"... even though muscles of this size are impractical to draw in action settings.

The angle of her head here is one of my least favorite things to draw, because I feel I don't draw it well. (Lot of things I don't think I draw well.) But I wanted her looking at the muscl...

(NSFW) Nude Giantess Tetsuko vs. Raijin

A special bonus for my $5/month sponsors: Tetsuko faces down Raijin naked!

It kinda makes sense, I think, for her to battle monsters in the nude. Finding or making clothes that can fit her at that size–and can stand up to the stress of kaijuu fights–would be prohibitively expensive at the very least. (Plus think of how much fabric that would take, that could be used for clothing for needy people.) And Tetsuko is already more invulnerable to injury than any armor would be.

So–if I d...
