Twins Update 5

Last minute update but not as much as I would have liked: honestly I wasted too much time this week on Shadowbringers. Don't tell anyone.

So Inking is officially underway at this point though and I have all th...

Something About Soft Landings

This was actually a cool-down doodle today that is basically me redrawing some fanart I did for SaburoX's character Fang years ago. Seeing as I appear to have lost the original image but was asked to locate all my SaburoX fanart I did my best to reproduce the idea of the original (though hopefully to better quality considering this was years ago before I had the archive system or patreon I use for keeping my art now days).

July Patron Poll!

Some of these are detailed so please read the descriptions below before casting your vote! I just copy-pasted these so I could stick to the whole submission.

Naomi trying to get Candice to do actual exercise (bless her heart). 

Paige the Halfling Mage / Stage Magician having height- and/or boob-related difficulty during autograph signing. And possibly also quietly grumbling about the shortness of the line. 

A suitably enlarged Naomi, definitely topless, perhaps als...

As warned: here is the very minor update for this week that mostly just consists of putting in the rough gestures for the last few pages (there is still one page that has panel work I haven't settled on, but I am go...

Update This Week

The comic update will be going up late tomorrow so I can sneak in a couple extra hours. I took everyone's advice to heart and let myself off a little easy on work this week - but I'll be resuming everything from commissions to comic this next week. Probably for the best that I took it easy for a week rather than let myself get burned out, but I am still going to be a little critical on myself for not having enough work done.

Obviously, rationally, in the long run this prevents me from h...

Twins Update 4

Main focus this week was to try and finish coming up with some formatting and gestures for the last run of pages.  Pages 22-24 still have very vague layout; 22 especially is something I want to rethink (the fir...

Planning Ahead. Excessively.

Although its a ways off before the twins comic is completely finished: making good progress on it got me thinking about what I want to work on next.

The obvious idea is to move onto the Barria comic in order to move forward some of the NEU narrative a bit. But that's also another larger comic right after finishing a 26 page one. So I am considering getting one of the shorter one shot ideas out in between (or even working on them at the same time to some extent). Possibly even doing a pa...

July is a Month

 I would LOVE to finish the Twins comic this month. I'm just going to pin that up as my goal from the beginning. Aside from that I also enjoy the idea of doing that summer swimsuit collection - considering I have a lot more time to spend on art this month (THANK YOU PATRONS). And there are only a handful of Barria steps left. I think those are reasonable pursuits.

The winner of last month's poll was Barria cooling off with Icewater; probably won't need to overthink how to put that ...

Twins Update 3


Still no background characters. I know I mentioned it before but I wanted to avoid my usual crowd of cameos for this one on account of it not specifically being a NEU comic. Featureless crowds really isn't a strong area for me. I did however get the first twelve pages penciled which is great (even if it's a little hard to decipher from the layers here).

My original idea to have the m...

June Art Dump (It's all boobs)

Zip file art dump for June! Normal rules: Commissions are commissions, doodles are unfinished sketches and random doodles, Demonesu is NSFW and fetish stuff and Icymasamune doesn't exist this time because I spent all month drawing boobs.

Side note: Monday is the first of the month next month which means my weekly update for the comic progress will be the first update for July, then I will follow that up with the patron submission post for the month and the update and schedule post.

Nyx Refill Patron Illustration

Now in eye-bleeding color!

So some context because I don't use these two a whole lot yet: Nyx, the purple haired mad science boobwall is technically Candice's "rival" counterpart. Being more of a robotics and engine-... B-Ko. She's B-ko.

Nyx often uses electrical shocks to quicken her recharging her mana reserves resulting in a sort of electric shock BE situation. Facilitated by her sadistic vat-grown goth assistant who is definitely an evil entity possessing the cloned bodies she...

WIP Nyx Refill

Work in progress for the Patron Poll last month. I haven't had much time to post anything and had my head down to mostly work on comic and commissions but still wanted to post something for you guys. Will work on the colors and backdrop tomorrow.

Also uh. Explanation for context when this is done is probably necessary - I haven't been able to explain Nyx and Scratch much yet...

It's Her Grumpy Dress

This was originally going to be this week's patreon illustration, but I could't get the idea to work the way I wanted it to. Rather than scrap it to the gesture pile I decided to use something a few friend's and I had in mind for GypsySquid's Brainboobwall Vicky. No high res for this one because it never really made it past doodle.

The Dress? (I guess a shirt at best in her case) says "I'm not shy I just don't like you". Vicks' new haircut is ruining the impact of her wardrobe's snark.<...

Bonus Tama

A simple bonus Tama illustration just to thank everyone for the support this month and helping push to let me focus on comics. Not a complicated illustration but I thought Tama herself was appropriate to show my thanks at this time.

Twins Update 2

Some rough patches here and there still on pages that I want to reformat to make things more clear. But I think overall this is pretty good to show for a week of work. Getting closer to the montage of growth stages and I am more inclined to add something more to those pages than just simple splash pages of Tama at various sizes (even if that was kind of the initial intent of the project honestly). But going to see how things are progressing when I get there and what comes to mind as a more in...

Comics, Editing, and Feedback

Feedback is great. Taking some of the feeback from the pages shown so far let me see a few points where I was able to find some weaknesses and areas that needed improvements and make some changes to my first draft on some pages. One of the side effects is that I kind of removed one page entirely and then inserted a page. Obviously the goal is to actually complete a project: but its good to be able to catch problems with the flow and pacing of a comic before you get to the final steps, when it...

Twins Comic Progress

Generally I post progress on weekends. And for second tier patrons only. But I wanted to do a good faith post to thank people who came onboard after the test page got out. I have a Barria and Patreon illustration to complete this week, hopefully, and then another progress update to post for second tier this weekend.

But, if nothing else, this gives you an idea of how I work and what updates look like. I do the whole comic as thumbnails once I have finished the script (and this often res...

Aftermath and Update

After the influx of people from the post about the comic page two things happened: a ton of people with good will assuming I will be working on that comic. So that's a priority. In order to do this I have to make a couple changes just in format (don't worry no one is loosing anything or being asked to pay more). Really this is just validating changes I have wanted to make but haven't had the support yet to do moving forward.

 Art dumps are still my collection of all art I make at t...

June is a month. No for real this time.

Alright take two on what I was supposed to get done on May, but like..better this time. No seriously.

So: Twins comic, Barria steps, NEU comic with Will. I'll probably work on some more D&D assets if I have time (or for fun).  I really am just going to kind of roll over what was supposed to get worked on in May. I honestly don't have much to say about this month aside from that!

May Art Dump

I always feel like the art dump will be small that month until I go and actually make the fodlers. At any rate it's still not as much as I would like and I am overall unhappy with how May went (but that's just a thing I have to keep working for). I am sure I will have more to say with the June opening post but for now I will just go ahead and let this month end here.

As usual Demonesu are kink and nsfw content, Icymasamune is my more mainstream stuff, commissions are commissions and doo...

That's not going to work you guys.

Patreon poll illustration. I wish I had more to say about this one but I was really struggling to come up with a way to make this one work. And I only now realize that saying that seems like a joke about the subject material.

Anyways. It feels a little bit rushed and I may go back and redo this later on if I come up with a better idea to make it work.
