Dear friends and neighbors, I wanted to give you some heads up which may affect some of your pledges. Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st. I've kinda sectioned off the most important info here:
The long and the short of it is that Patreon as a platform is being required to collect sales tax, I'm not exa...

At last! I finally put together the rough sketches of the remainder of the comic. I've got oooone more playful one but I like that to be a reveal so I'll share it once I've gottent hings a bit more cleaned up.
Thanks for all the support, everyone! Soon I'll get these tidied up for real!

Part of working on this comic has been me just thinking about how to use different compositions and what to show. For me I've kind of of found that it feels more effectiv...

Hey everyone, moment of humility here, I gotta fix! Several patrons have come to me and expressed confusion over the tier updates and as I re-evaluated the changes, specifically regarding access to b/w vs. color comic pages.
At the time I thought it represented a jump in value between the two tiers, but as I've reflected on it, it doesn't do a good job of condensing the former $1/$3 tiers like I hoped it would. So: $2.50 patrons will now get access to colo...

EDIT 05/22/20: Two new pages in color!
Seems like I'm going to have to come up with a title for this comic soon!
I think I'll keep just updating this post as I go with new color pages! I might even have to just keep updating it as I go when I spot little mistakes i have to correct along the way!
Thanks for sticking with me on this process!

Update 05/29/20: Not really horny sketches but I have been playing with some softer brushes. I like to do portrait studies before i do the final illustration.
Update 05/23/20: Started doing some Aerith sketches because I haven't drawn her before!! :O Also playing with some new brushes for sketching. I wanted something a little softer.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone, I decided to narrow it down to just this set of couples and I added one of my own on there just for good measure!
Thank you all for the support and I can't wait to see what we make this month! :D

Happy Monday everyone! I got to break in my new running shoes last week and enjoy running in the outdoors again.
As Zelbosa comic progress continues (color pages coming later this week) I kinda want to do a pinup this month so I thought I'd take suggestions. The only restriction is I'd love to do something with flowers-- doesn't matter what character or couple, I just want to draw something floral, even if it's a little bit of a stretch to make it make sense. :)
Have a great...

It always starts with the thumbnails. I probably spent an hour and a half just scribbling out these little 1"x2" drawings just to try to figure out the flow of the compositions and the choreography of the scene.
I don't do a ton of writing beforehand since there's no dialog so it's kinda just trying to figure out how I can get two characters to play in the environment. I'm really excited about the potential for the waterfall with Zelda, I'm going to have a lot of fun drawing lots ...

Hello friends and neighbors! Thank you all so much for the support over the past month. I'm really excited about the way the Zelbosa comic is developing and I want to especially thank you all for being patient with the updates and for helping to steer the story by voting in that extremely close poll!
I just want to remind you all to:

Thank you all for the support this month and I ESPECIALLY appreciate you all being willing to migrate to new tiers. It's such a hassle I know and I hope this PDF will have made it worthwhile. There are like 101 two page spreads in here. Not every page has art on it, but a lot kinda spill across the gutter. Hope you enjoy seeing some of my early and sometimes clumsy work! :)

Everyone cool with me going for another 8 pages or so? I gotta give Urbosa a turn to use those muscles after all, right??
I think I'm going to have to make the final comic in the processed style because I'm just really excited about the texture, hehe.
Thanks for the support, everyone. And a friendly reminder-- if you're a $1 or $3 patron, please update to one of the new tiers so that you can keep getting updates in color or b/w!

Happy Thursday! pages 10-12 are are here!
Also, I've updated the tiers available. The way Patreon works is that I cannot change the pricing on a tier, so basically I will just be deleting the $1 and $3 tiers at the end of this month so if you would like to get continued access you will have to manually change into your new tier, should you decide to remain a patron. So sorry for the inconvenience, everybody!
I'll be putting the sketchb...

PATRON TIER CHANGE INFO:
So I said that I would be condensing things down to a $2.50/$5 tier structure last week, whoopsie. As I went to make the change I realized I can't count on EVERY new patron to read the old posts and I don't want to shock anybody by the change.
Here's what I still gotta do:

Happy Sunday everyone. Here it is, Zelda taking over for a minute! For your curiosity I've included my ultra messy thumbnail sketches (not much cleaner than my actual rough pages honestly) mixed in with Urbosa doodles because I still want to practice drawing her musculature.
I treat the thumbnails as a way of quickly figuring out the progression of the visual progression of the...

04/27 Update. Drawing the Zelbosa comic has made me a lot more focused on what I understand/don't understand about drawing abs. I've added a couple of new sketchbook pages and a page of abs studies!

Looks like Zelda wins the initiative...for now! (Urbosa will have her time, don't worry.) I suspect this is the sort of thing that might go on for a little longer. Thanks for all the votes, everyone! It was a surprisingly narrow margin!

Hiya gang! Cleaned up comic pages for Zelbosa will be dropping soon but I wanted to share some hikers I drew while you wait! Animal Crossing is really top of mind lately.
More to come soon!

Well gang, it's been some kind of month.
We've talked about doing tier changes for like two months, but I finally went fulltime freelance so the time is now! A lot of what pays my bills is SFW but I'm excited to put more time into what we do here because it's just super fun.
ALSO: Thanks for the support you've given me on the current comic project. I'm really excited about the potential for the Zelda x Urbosa comic. I think you were all very wise to vote for...

Question: I've never really done 'alternate' versions of my illustrations, but I see other people making cum/clothed/etc versions of things all the time. Be honest: Do you care about alternate versions? Is that interesting or compelling to you? It doesn't take a lot more time and if everyone would be stoked about it, I'd start adding new ...

Hello friends and neighbors! I've got 7 rough (though less rough than usual) pages of Zelbosa erotica for you this day! I think I will try to polish up that last page to be the pinup of the month, so stay tuned for that.
Didn't mean to dump all the content on the last two days of the month it just happened that my schedule made me really busy right up until the last minute. I hope you enjoy and I'll be sending out a new update soon with the dropbox content links in tow!

Happy Monday everyone! Here's a little sneak peak on how this stuff goes, I'm going to be cramming updates today/tomorrow since that's just how my schedule worked out this month.
Like a lot of folks my comics start with thumbnails. Thee whole goal is to make things as visually coherent as they need to be so I can start to wrap my mind around the progression of the story. I keep them super rough so I can try/throw out a lot of ideas quickly.

I'm going to go ahead and assume we're all having a crazy month. I spent most of last week being sick with a nasty cold (don't worry, not COVID-19) but I'm finally starting to feel like myself again so I wanted to make a post about the Zelbosa comic!
I've always been really inspired the artists Ivan Bilibin and Edmund Dulac. They both were illustrating during the first half of the 20th century, and tended to illustrate folktales, and Dulac is known for his Arabian Nights illustrations (...

Part of my process for figuring out a comic invariably becomes just acquainting myself with the characters. I've drawn Urbosa and Zelda before but it feels like I have to hack away at a character for a bit in loose sketches to figure out how *I* draw the character.
I'm really attracted to Urbosa's crazy hips and strong arms and I feel like there's a little bit of breakthrough in terms of inspiration for me with the last sketch of Zelda being held by Urbosa. Not sure what yet but I l...
