March Patron Poll!

The submissions this time are kinda open this time so there is a wide lane of wiggle room for me to work with any of them. I double checked my notes and the comments to the submission poll, I think this was all of them, but I have the nagging suspicion someone sent me an submission directly but it wasn't saved anywhere. I always write them down on my white board next to my desk so evidence dictates otherwise, but its nagging at me.

Poll is active until Monday, April 1st. And no I wont d...

Too Much Cake

A drawing for Zerion's birthday of his ninja maid being offered entirely too much celebratory cake. This is a little bit of a rushed image as I have been struggling with drawing all week for some reason. But it was a good excuse to draw the character and a bit less intensive than some of the other projects I need to be working on.

Tama and Numu

He's lost forever Tama; you're never getting him back. Doodle to practice the new "simple" coloring style. Also a good excuse to draw Mega-Tama.

WIP- Twins Comic Thumbnails

Ah yes, my incredibly presentable and professional looking thumbnails.

Zerion has this character named Pettan that I have always adored but doesn't translate well into a character that can be used for comics -...

Twins Comic Style Test Page

A style test page for the Non-NEU BE comic project I mentioned before. At the moment all content for this is Patreon exclusive until it gets completed (so please hold off on posting it anywhere until the actual comic is completed).

This specific page is also going to be included as a sort of post-story bonus page in the final comic.

You will probably see me draw these characters a bunch more in the future.

Barria Growth Drive Step 9

After a month of break from it, back to getting caught up on these. Kat has apparently lost her grip. I am trying to ease into some new shading and inking techniques slowly, but I don't want the growth drive steps to be too different from the previous in terms of style.

Commission: Firmware Update

Commission for StelardActek of Paige doing some trouble shooting on her wearable technology.

I have had a little anxiety about posting this one because, while complete, I feel like a lot of the issues I have with my own style are very clearly on display here. So as a result it's difficult for me to objectively enjoy the end result. On the other hand: I enjoy working with Stel and drawing Paige, and it's good exercise to keep up on projects that are a challenge.

The window and scre...

Weekend Upda- did they change everything?!

So Patreon updated it's user interface while I was busy all week. I'll have to mess around with that once I get finished drawing this weekend.

Don't forget to submit ideas for the patron poll this month if you are second tier and have not yet! You can either post them as responses to the post or just contact me directly by note if you would rather stay anonymous.

I have a few things to post this weekend which I should have put up when they were finished, but I am still working out...

March Patreon Poll Submissions

Submit your ideas for the April patreon illustration.  Seeing as this is a properly sized month submission deadline will be Saturday, March 16th. 

All $5 and up tier patrons time to start submitting your choices for the Month's Patron Poll. You can either comment here or send me a note (whichever you feel most comfortable with). Each Patron at this tier gets to make their own submission choice and it can be as specific or vague as...

March is a Month Very Quickly

So I'm going to keep this one short to prevent repeating myself too much from things I have been saying since the start of the year. Loosing a week during a short month was harsh but I still managed to get the patreon work finished last month (Which is fantastic because I think the commission and patreon work from last month came out really well). But this month I really need to get over this hurdle of slacking on completing comcis. Getting scripts and thumbnails done is great, but I know peo...

Future Paige

Sort of a last minute entry for the month (A commission for Stelard -thank you!). Alternate and high res versions below. This one didn't make it into the art dump on account of that being put up beforehand. But I'll re-upload the zip file to include it retroactively.

I really enjoy how this turned out, I was allowed to play around with the outfit design quite a bit and Stel agonized over deciding the color setup a lot.

February Art Dump!

Updated with More Curvy Halflings!

It's honestly kind of a lot. Which makes it my new goal line for monthly art dumps. I want this "two illustrations (or pages) a week for patreon" to be the standard. I'll go back over the new goals during the first post of March, and I mean we can tell the nawty picture is gonna win this poll so that part of the post won't be a surprise unless there is some kinda upset the next couple days.

Art dump is broken into folders for eac...

Weekly Update and Some Ideas

I was all set to get angry at myself for my performance this month on account of this last week. But I was organizing the files for art dump and realized I actually got a ton done this month even if it wasn't all projects I had intended to make progress on.

So two notes in that regards. Judging by my workflow I want to schedule patreon so that there are two works (Illustrations or comic pages) a week. Everything will be posted here first (as well as a few things to twitter) unless it's ...

New NEU looks

Some early design work on the character outfits and designs for the next.. three? Are we doing three? I think we are doing three. Comics for NEU. Or at least my designs so far. I know I have been a bit of a ghost this past week while dealing with my issues, and while I am having a terrible time at the moment, it IS nice to keep in perspective that it hasn't happened in months: which is a fantastic step in the right direction from having it every couple weeks.

Unfortunately though this m...

Master of Stealth

 High Res in the attachments~ 

To cope with a current bout of anxiety and depression I figured I would take a moment from things I needed to finish to draw Barria hiding behind her own boobs.

I always like the idea that Barria starts employing her boobs as a wall to hide behind the same way she does her hair as she starts getting larger. 

February Patreon Poll

 Odd first attempt at this post didn't list all the options. Let's try that again.

Patron Poll time! I feel like we have a pretty wide scatter shot with these three poll options this month, so it should be interesting to see which one wins.

Poll will go until Friday, May 1st just so we can give everyone up until the very edge of the weekend at the end of the month and start of the new one.

Minos Rangers

Edit: Fresh eyes and rested brain along with some feedback and I was able to clean this up some more so they have been re-uploaded.

Meushi Birthday poll winner. I guess they look more like mech pilots than a sentai team without the helmets but still; I think it still counts.

High Res and alternate version down bellow! 

You Put the 'Pal' in Palpitations

Anime level communication issues. 

Getting closer with the coloring. High Res below!

I won't put this up everywhere else until Valentines. 

Bonus Barria

Color practice of Barria that came out a little better than expected so I am going to upload a high res version here (in the attachments). I think I am getting more comfortable with this style of shading, but may go back to the cell shading for comics still. I am also playing with some inking styles and I think it works better with this method of coloring but I still have a lot of work to do on developing it.

Weekend WIPs (it's all patreon stuff)

not entirely sure about the scenery on this one but I though I could use this prompt to torture Kat. Which is basically like my absolute favorite passtime now? so that's good. I had thought about using an enboobified Barria for this one, but I also think drawing some smaller Barria sizes is nice every once in a while.

Weekly Update; strike that pose!

The polls are closed for Meushi's birthday which puts the valentines results as the meushi + Silverbells sentai team. So I have two velentines images to work on (that, as well as the January poll winner of Barria gifting Kat some platonic chocolate for being such a good friend). Get started on those this weekend.

I also completed some illustrations and commissions this week that I am pretty gosh darned proud of. It's a basic animation but making a gif again after all this time feels lik...

February Patreon Poll Submissions~!

Should I just refer to these as the month they will be drawn? Is that too confusing, that's probably too confusing. But also I feel like I'm being pedantic by always mentioning they are for stuff drawn next month. I worry about silly things sometimes. 

All $5 and up tier patrons time to start submitting your choices for the Month's Patron Poll. You can either comment here or send me a note (whichever you feel most comfortable with). Each Patron at this tier gets to...

February is a month: And I just have to accept that.

So obviously it's customary after failing to finish the projects I wanted to get done last month to talk about how I am rolling over the NEU comics to this month. January saw me getting more on track with Patreon though, so that's something I am mostly ok with. As long as I am getting the patreon work finished and keeping up on commissions, I still feel like I am making progress.

Although Valentine's is traditionally the birthday for Poisonwind and launch day for Shadowlark; I have more...

Art Dump and Weak-ly Update

First off: reminder that there are two polls for next month up. The January poll ends in a few days so make sure you speak up on that one if you have not yet.

Gigacat vs Kaijucow

High Res version int he attatchments-

And done! The exact cat and cow were never specified so I went with Owlizard's catgirl Sam and my own Meushi. Shading was sort of an exercise in implementing some of the things I have been working on developing lately, as was making more use of perspective rulers - though in this case I messed it up pretty badly until I got some outside help in correcting a lot of the perspective elements that were bothering me. In the end I like it a lot more than ...

Valentine's Meushi Poll

For the Valentine's image this year, a poll to decide what I draw in honor of my silly mascot tradition! Mostly banking on her supposed obsession with Godzilla and sentai, I'm throwing up an option for just plain old pinup as well (though it will probably include kaiju chocolates).

Poll will be active until Saturday, February 8th to give me a weekend to finish up the winner for the site in time.

I keep finishing things

Which is a problem in the sense of both not having a lot of stuff to show for WIP and also because there are some projects outside of commissions I feel like I should spend as much time on as I do those.

There is a lot of stuff I would change if I took another swing at the commission sheet. Or WILL change the next time I make one. Ultimately this was a first attempt at using my approach to comi...

Penguin Hoodie Michelle

I was supposed to be writing scripts and working on my art studies today. Instead of doodled fanart of one of SaburoX's boobwalls; Michelle.

I honestly have nothing to say here, still writing options for the valentine's day poll and this was just kind of a doodle while brainstorming. I'm not sure why I am including a HQ on this one, but tradition is tradition!

Very Early Weekly Update and the Short Story of This Year's Goofy Commission Sheet

So I hate making commission sheets: logos, comics, character designs, mechanics designs are all things I love working on. Advertisements and info sheet? Terrible at it. A friend of mine suggested that I just start doing commission sheets like comic pages and this was the result. I think we might have a work around for that particular brain hiccup.

The WIP post for second tier patrons will be coming up Monday? at the latest. I want to get some some more work done on Barria steps before I...

January Patron Poll

It's time for a poll!! There will also be a poll for Meushi's birthday pick this year once I come up with a couple more options to fight about.

January Poll closes on Thursday, January 31st.
