Lina - Final Turnarounds, Development Art, and Alternate Outfit Sketches

The finalized art for Lina's redesign project, which I've been working on since the beginning of 2021, with breaks for life stuff and even a few total restarts. This post also includes an exclusive nude turnaround that I haven't posted to my SFW public accounts, which I created because the goal of the project was to have a design that looks correct and consistent no matter what she's wearing, which includes nothing at all. I've also got art from the 3 major stages of development the project h...

Update

Hey, it's been a while since I've posted anything here, as I'm sure you know. I'm still working on art, but I've been really busy juggling a bunch of different things in my life these past months, and there have been many months that I just haven't been able to come up with any art that I feel is worth posting. I've been working and job hunting at the same time, keeping up with obligations to family and friends, and doing a lot of studying and training to improve my art in ways that doesn't r...

Lina's Redesign - (Mostly) Finalized Turnaround Sketches

Alright, I know I said almost a week ago on Twitter that I'd finished updating Lina's nude and underwear sketches for Patreon...but I found more things I had to fix, so I wanted to use what time I had left to get them looking as good as I could. That said, I still have some more tweaks to make across the board to make sure all the turnarounds match up since I've been making small tweaks here and there along the way as I did each one. But for now, this is plenty good enough for the sketch phas...

Lina Redesign Returns Revamped

Alright, story time!

I started work on Lina's redesign late last year, but other stuff came up and I also didn't feel like I had a solid idea of how I wanted to progress with the design at the time, nor did I feel like I really had the skills to pull it off. So I shelved the project for a few months while I took care of other stuff and also gathered a ton of reference materials for things I didn't feel like I knew how to draw well yet.

Smash cut to a month or so ago (can't reall...

Koori Enoshima - Model Breakdown and Development Art

Since Koori is a VTuber, I had to create her in separate parts and put them together into a model, so she can be moved around and animated. Here's a big sheet with all those parts separated to show how it works, along with all the art from throughout her design process.

Koori (Part 1)

Been really busy lately and haven't had much to post here or on social media. One of the culprits was this commission to design a Vtuber character that I've been working on for the past month or so. I've still got a bit more to do on this commission, but the design is finished and I've gotten approval from the client, so I figure it's fine to post this here.

The character's name is Koori, and she's an ice dragon. The second image is the character's initial design, and the first image is...

Lina's Redesign Development Art (Part 2)

As I mentioned on Twitter, job hunting and commissions have been eating up a lot of my time, so progress on this has been pretty slow. But it's coming along.

I've been focusing on figuring out how she looks in the nude for now, and added a back view as well, because I realized there's a lot I don't know about drawing a heavier body type and I want to use this as an opportunity to learn (and also make sure her design makes sense from all angles). I also tried out ANOTHER different hairst...

Lina's Redesign Development Art (Part 1)

All the different outfit and hairstyle concepts I've gone through for the preliminary stages of Lina's redesign, plus a rough design of her in the nude for reference. I've still got a lot more work to do on this project, so there'll likely be more development art coming in the future as I refine her look and add more outfits.

Psychonauts Doodles

First batch of Patreon doodles! This is a request from Laaren to draw the kids from Psychonauts. I still haven't played the game, despite owning it for years on PC, so I need to get around to that soon, lol.

Doodle Suggestions

I feel like I should do more doodles, but I never know what to draw. So I got an idea for a fun way to involve my supporters here.

I'll be keeping this post as a running list of suggestions from my patrons for what they'd like me to draw whenever I do doodles for warm-up, practice, or fun. Leave your suggestions as a comment to this post, and I'll draw from the suggestions you give me whenever I need ideas.

I can't guarantee I'll draw everything on the list, but you can leave as...

Sultry Sea Slug

A character design commission for portbaron of their sea slug lady, Clora. This was one of the more challenging designs I've done. I also did some nude variants for the client to show off the luminescent patterns on her skin, which I censored for the public, but have here uncensored.

Chilly Night

Uncensored version of a commission for JustcallmeGuze on Twitter of their wendigo girl, Yepa, living in the wilderness. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to stay warm during the winter season when you're as large as she is...and don't have access to warm clothing.
