Speaking of the August Q & A (heh!) here's the final Call for Questions. I have one, maybe two, so far; but if there's anything you want to know that the previous videos haven't covered, feel free to ask!
The cutoff is Saturday, August 26, so that I can do final work on the video on the 28th. (The 27th is my wife's and my anniversary, so I am not doing any video work that day!)

As I mentioned in the previous post, I deleted the March through July Q & A videos from my website because I believe they're costing me too much in bandwidth charges to host them myself. I've uploaded them to Dailymotion, where they'll once again embed in the post. (The December 2016 and January - February 2017 Q & A's are still up at YouTube; click the "Monthly Q&A" or "Video" tags to acc...

Recently I noticed that my DCM Studios Online website has been seeing a lot of bandwidth usage - so much so that it's cost me $90 over the past three days! (I fund my websites in advance, and the hosting service sends me notices when my balance falls below certain levels; a $20 deposit is usually good for a couple of months, but for three days in a row now, I've had to add money to my account simply to keep my sites online!)

(How many acronyms can I fit into one post title?) :)
The Pic of the Month (POTM) for August will be based on CGMan's suggestion to do a black-and-white/shaded pencil drawing. And, because looking at naked Tetsuko flexing her gigantic biceps never gets old*, she is (once again) the subject of the POTM.
Here's a "first look" at the pic as a work in progress. I took one of my older drawings (one that I don't recall if I ever posted anywhere), resketched it, and printed it out on 11 x 17" p...

Hey, remember in the latest Q&A video I mentioned that Clip Studio Paint (CSP) EX sometimes went on sale for substantial savings? Well, now is one of those times!
It's not quite the "$75" I mentioned in the video, but dang close: $87 through August 3, after which time it goes back up to $209.99.

Even though I didn't run an "official" poll on the subject, it seemed that the idea of a Tetsuko-sized Sonya and a Sonya-sized Tetsuko was (barely) the most popular of the suggestions for the July POTM, so here they are!
(I won't even try to explain how this could happen; think of it as a "what-if" pic.)
2017-07-24 22:54:00 +0000 UTC View PostAn "Executive Decision" and a sneak peek
As the post title indicates, I have made an "executive decision": I received enough great suggestions for Pic of the Month that I've decided that I'm going to use them all!
Not all this month, of course. But every month until those suggestions run out, I'll be using one of the suggestions for POTM. That's seven suggestions, so I'm good through January 2018.
(That's assuming I don't get an idea for a POTM that's so compelling I have to do it.)
So which one gets the nod first? Hit th...

- Satin Steele about to punch a villain, from the villain's point of view;

I think it's about time I let you, my long-suffering patrons, have a voice in determining the subject of the July Pic of the Month.
So if you've got a favorite character, situation, theme or even cosplay idea you'd like to see drawn for the POTM, leave it in the comments to this post.
The final choice will be mine, and will be based on which idea tickles my fancy the most. But I want to know what you'd like to see!

Kinda just realized today that June only has 30 days (duh!). Putting together the June Q&A - even though there's only one question - has taken longer than I planned on. (Plus there's the July "Heroines In Peril!" calendar for July to finish, and even that won't get posted until July 2nd or 3rd.) So... my apologies.
To try to make it up to you, here's a new pic. This was intended to be the "1,000th DeviantArt Deviation!" pic; but after I finished this I began to rethink it. So I'm taking th...

I recorded the entire process of drawing, so after I get done editing it (because I don't think you'd want to sit through 2 hours of video), it will be the main feature of the June Q & A video.
Enjoy! And please let me know what you think.

Been awhile since I've done a pic of Tetsuko's "hindquarters", so I thought this was a good time for one. All it needs now is color!

The post title pretty much tells it all, ne? Here's Tetsuko in frilly lingerie and garter belt, flexing her bicep for your enjoyment.
Please note - the pic at the top of this post is not the full-size pic, although it's a good size for display on your monitor mobile device screens.

I meant to post this a few days ago - it's getting close to the end of the month and nobody's asked a question yet.
Which brings up the question: what happens if nobody has a question? Will there still be a video? The answer is... yes. I have an idea, and I'll start working on it in a day or so. (I may even finish it even if there are questions for May just so I can have something "in the can" that I can post if it ever happens that there are no questions for a particular month.)

I've decided to remove the $7 "Premier Patron" level from the pledge/reward structure, because ultimately I felt I wasn't living up to my expectations about giving these patrons the rewards above and beyond the $5 level.
This won't affect those of you who're already pledging the $7/month; your pledges still continue, and so does your access to the posts restricted to that level.
If you're pledging $7, you can (if you wish) edit your pledge to the $5/month level, although I kinda hope you...

As I was casting about for ideas for the Patreon May Pic of the Month (POTM), it occurred to me that Tetsuko (arguably my most popular character) hasn't been featured in her own POTM. I'm fixing that this month.
So here's a (very!) rough sketch of Tetsuko in her bedroom, posing and flexing in lingerie for you. I hope to get the finished color pic done within the week.
And yes, there will be a nude version. Because I think you'd like to see it.

The April Q & A video will most likely drop on Monday, May 1.
I'm not quite sure why, but April has been a singularly unproductive month. I can think of only a couple of projects I actually finished this past month: the April "Heroines in Peril" calendar featuring Marissa of Mars (which itself should have been done before April 1), and the Charlotte flexing animation. There was other stuff I worked on - I got a bit more done on "Tetsuko vs. the Walls" - but still, nowhere near as much as I...
