With very many thanks to SilverZeo for linking me to this tweet, which served as the inspriation for this piece.

So I was starting the artwork to celebrate my 5 years of being on Patreon (and Poking Around reaching 100 pages) when I stumbled across an old bit of unfinished art from 2017.
It was my kneejerk reaction to this entry, and these games, both of which were due to be released at the time...
As illustrated above, any *new* Patrons who joined on or after this point (5th October 2020) will be charged; the same applies to those pre-existing Patrons who change their pledge for whatever reason - not my decision, but Patreon itself.
Please look forward to the pinnups I'll produce (and any one-offs I do this month) and please continue to enjoy the archiv...
It was a close call but Garga just managed to eke out a win. So congrats and thank you so very much to everyone who voted in the poll. Really appreciate it, and look forward to what I'll produce. Stay safe, stay sane . 🐲💚

So there was this thing, and it reminded me of a character I drew back in the beginning of the year. He has a name now: Calum Rexander. See what I did there? Though granted, the promo art threw me of...

EDIT: This was originally planned to be posted on Wednesday 30th September 2020, but I have brought it forward to now.
The above doesn't mean I'm abandoning Patreon, but I'll be far less active on here for October. But the upshot is that you won't be charged for October. The charges are still going through for September's content though.
Nevertheless, thank you very much to you all for your time and support and...
My last poll before ... well, I'll go into more detail when the time comes. Anyway, anyone familiar with the franchise will know exactly how-and-what I’m spoofing, but if you don’t, no worries – just enjoy the artwork.
I wonder if I may as well make October the Buddyfig...

Something I drew for fun based on a screencap of an upcoming (at the time of posting this) episode. This was originally for Twitter but I spent too long on it so it has ended up here. I don't have names for these chaps. Regardless, enjoy!
Ugh, this was a bit of a difficult page to not make a text-wall.
But yup, there we are. We’ll be back to the actual sumo and the more light-hearted stuff soon enough; Bo finally got mentioned after all.
As always, thank you to everyone for continuing to support this work. (forgot a TL note, my bad).

And here we are the long overdue 2nd instalment following the Kipo poll. It's a companion piece to this submission last month. Sorry it took forever, I hadn't any clue how to finish it for a long time. Then inspiration struck, via 2020-09-17 15:09:44 +0000 UTC View Post
So I found out recently that Fang is supposed to be a jerboa, a long-eared and long rear-legged rodent. As confirmed by the original character designer himself. If you don't know who Fang is, don't blame you; he's a rather obscure Sonic character whom I only remember from the video games Sonic t...

Fret not, this isn't some ominous premonition. Rather, this is my way of dealing with some very strange emotions generated by bingeing too much Battlestar Galactica. Very depressing series asking some deep questions about the human condition. Yet it was something that, at the time of posting this, I grew rather addicted to.
Anyway, this initially started as my trying to redesign 2020-09-12 23:20:25 +0000 UTC View Post
Thank you very much to everyone who indulged my curiosity by voting in this poll earlier in the month.
Thinking about it, I shouldn't be too surprised by this result; I was pretty much the fat fur guy for years when I first started in the fandom/community/whatever. And Rubens-like fleshiness is ...

And here we are with the continuation for this month (there’ll be another one coming). Another emotive page since I’m drawing on direct personal experience here. And I’m not judging those who prefer to take it easy by watching high school shows; I just really don’t like them. Sorry.
And although not initially planned to have one, there is another fictional-dōjin cover along with the localised title. The actual translation is Don-GeroGero and the Chalice ...

Heeere’s Geld, or ゲルド Gerudo. It’s understandable as to why the English version went with a different localised name, given the existence of these people. I haven’t heard the Funi-dub so I don’t know if it’s pronounced with a hard G, like guard, or a soft G, like Gerald.
Anyway, from what little I kno...

Interesting. It was quite a close run with this poll but there you have it: pig-orc wins the hair of his chinny-chin-chin. Please look forward to it and thanks again for participating!

I should've posted this on Tuesday really. Whoops.
Anyway, here's pretty much what's on my to-do list for this month.
I haven't decided yet if I'm doing one or two pages of Bear With (at the time of posting this).
Once the September $1 pinnup is determined on Saturday 5...

A new month means new content, so please look forward to September's savouries.
But presently, if you would forgive my being indulgent, please satisfy my curiosity by participating in this impromptu poll. As Craig David put it, what's your flavour?
Namely, what is your favourite k...

Poll closes 5:30pm Saturday 5th September 2020 (British Summertime)

Anyway, whilst way overdue, it's complete! A cross between these and these. I initially had no idea how to make this work since snakes don't have arms and I didn't want to default to nagas. But it somehow came together in the end....
Just a brief check-in. I'm closing in on finishing the remaining pin-ups for the lower tier so those will go up hopefully before the month is out. I'll be running the next poll before the weekend is out too. In the meantime, please accept the following as my thanks for continuing to support me here.
Mostly because I was thinking about that one episode of Fairly Odd P...

Sorry to have kept you waiting! Finally, it’s done…! (re-uploaded to fix a glaring typo)
I wasn’t sure how to pull this off, so I simply adapted what I could of a thing that went around once. Because I'm shallow.

Sorry for the lack of updates this week. The heat's really sapped me but the good news is that I've got this much left to do.
The poll will go up next week. And yeah. Please look forward to it. And as always thank you for supporting the works.
I apologise. The recent heatwave has become intolerably abominable, and really sapped out my will to concentrate and work hard lately. So please accept this as a holdover. Loosely based on this. Because yes, I find that hot. &...

So Patreon emailed me late Thursday night and want me to say the following:
Any new visitors to my page will see my tiers priced in their local currency of €, £, or $. For those of you who would like to switch your preferred currency, you can follow these steps:
Phew. This was a biggie, and probably one of the most personal pages I’ve produced for quite some time. I’m not 100% sure how much of this will resonate with those who came of the age in the 2010s, but as aforesaid, pre-2010 was quite a different world; to put it rather euphemistically, “This was back when being [that way] wasn’t as fun as it is today”. Though, should “fun” be replaced by “prominent”?
Quite a bit had to be cut, mostly because I didn’t ...
2020-08-06 13:41:14 +0000 UTC View PostMy apologies for no cutesy doodle this time around. I'll just get straight to the point. I've got quite the to-do list, illustrated below on my whiteboard:
Usually, I try to do 2 or 3 comic pages per tier. However, given how long it has taken me to do just one of the four images for last month's pinnup, it's likely going to be just 1 page per comic this month. E...

Won’t lie, July’s pin-ups is a bit of a mammoth project so I’m scaling back a bit to try and make sure not too many tiers fall behind. So please choose one of the following three for me to draw a singular nice image of.
