"A Regal Anubis" Sketches

:>  A 20 page One-Shot.

Poll (For Comparison...)

I've got a few options I'd like to pursue, but I wanna hear what y'all think, since you're paying for it.

Note:  I will probably hold these polls for each project that comes out, unless there's an overwhelming majority.
Also note: There are roughly 20 pages PER POST.

For Comparisson...

Style A (Advanced) and Style B (Flat) are the two styles I'm considering taking up for FLASK.  I'll be posting a poll right after thsi post goes up.  I want to see what you think about going forwards.

Comic Roughs 209, 210, and 211...the last 3!

The Rivet comic has been an amazing ride...thank you all for supporting me along the way.  TwT  It's touching to finally say goodbye to my first project of this scale.  But...I'm excited to make stuff that's build on sturdier ground and can be started and done a lot faster.

The Mystery Week!

I intended Feb. to start with the launch of my new comic, FLASK.  You've seen a few of the characters already, which I intended to be teases.  Buuuut...I'm not sure I'm ready just yet for that.  Instead I feel like a little breathing room from a short in-between comic might be in order.  Something to break away from the Rivet story and show something else that's more clearly the same tone.  Just to show I'm not changing EVERYTHING up, y'kno?

So here's...

Comic Roughs 205, 206, 207, and 208!

That's right baby!  Pages 205, 206, 207, and 208!  I only planned for 2 more pages to come out after this, but I'm realizing I may wanna leave a LITTLE more breathing room.  So I'm gonna be putting up a poll for all of y'all.

>w> Figured you'd all enjoy a little demo.

Just showing off two of the characters from the next comic.  I'm doing my best to get their model sheets properly sorted so I can work consistently with them.   All in due time I suppose!

(Apologies for the lack of those last 6 Rivet pages QQ I'm doing my best, but I can't find the time and focus to work them.  It's a busy new year.)

Pages next week!

No pages this week, I have strepp, but I'm going to be visiting home to housesit on Saturday and Sunday, so I'm going to be working on next week's Rivet just before christmas. :)  A happy ending is just in sight.  Then, in the new year, I'll be taking *most* of January off from publishing work and focusing on really getting ahead and getting settled in that next project of mine.  >:)

Comic Roughs 201, 202, 203, and 204!

:3  Hehehe.  Wet sloshing noises.

Rivet Comic Pages 197, 198, 199, and 200!

The big 2, 0, 0!!!  >:3c Man is about to UNLOAD them swimmers.

Rivet Speedpaint 197 & 198!

197-200 are 100% completed and ready to ship, but I wanna get back to that Thursday schedule I promised, so I'm posting them Thursday and getting ahead of next week's pages so they'll be promptly on time.  :)   For now though, here's the WIP process for pages 197, 198, and some touches of 199!!

WIP Timelapse

I've been recording this week's work on the comic and I've got a timelapse coming together for it.  I wanna post it tonight once all of the lineart is done.   Which tier do y'all think it fits best in?

Comic Roughs 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, AND 196!!

The emotional climax.  >:) And next...the proper climax~!!

WIP (Finished going to the main $2 tier tomorrow)

In the morning tomorrow I'll be finishing the shading and coloring for the final 8.  The 8 pages that are still sketches without color here are an old draft I basically entirely reworked 4 pages of today when I was getting started on the work.  Just figured I'd post it all for the $7 tier now.

Running late

Underestimated just how much these 8 pages in particular were going to be on my plate.  ^^  I think I should be able to get them wrapped up tomorrow though~!

This week (11/17/23)

On one hand, Angela Cross and Rivet posts today on twitter have me feeling frisky to draw that.  On the other hand I worked on 4 pages last week but didn't finish them, so I was planning to bundle them into an 8 page set.   Though, there's a few pretty emotional ones, SO I feel like it's important to get all 8 down at once so we have some good horny art in the mix.   What do you y'all think?

Comic Roughs 185, 186, 187, and 188!

Just got a new extension for photoshop last week (oklabs) and MAN does it make the color work for these fun.  =w=  

Comic Roughs 181, 182, 183, and 184!

>:P  Finally, a full 4 page set that really focuses on the horny purple boy!!

Rivet Comic Pages 177, 178, 179, and 180!

Sorry about the extra delay.  X_X  Got sick and limped my way to the end of getting this one out.

Delay to Monday/Tuesday

Hey hey.  Headed out of town to visit my grandmother and I won't have my work PC for the next 2 days, and on Sunday I'll be occupied with plans for most of the day.

Sorry for the delay.  ^^; Will try to work it for yall!

Bonus Rivet elected in-charge of Stith!

>:)  Hehehe.  Enjoy y'all.

Bonus 10/4 Vote!

I'm very tired, very frazzled, and very drained.  Just gonna put up a poll for what the people want.  (Note: Crow AMA comes with art, it's not just questions X3)

Rivet Comic Roughs 173, 174, 175, and 176!

=w=  Nothing special, but some nice eye candy while we work into the GOOD good stuff~

:>  Hope y'all enjoy~

Update

I kept tryna push it to pass up my normal schedule of taking the 1st week (or last week) of the month off, to celebrate all our new arrivals supporting the comic.   But...I can't make this week, I'm sorry guys!

Next week we're back to proper main comic pages.  ^^;

Faun and Kallia at last!

Been caging these two up for a while.  >>  But goddamn did this pose and image FIGHT ME tooth and nail.  Spent around 9 hours on it today, and none of these WIPs were from the work I did today, I did every one of them yesterday.

Creating the thing

Today's $7 bonus was going to be some Rivet work, but I wound up spending all my work time today trying to make a really good [insert project after Rivet] piece. 

>>;  At this point I've got like 5 really good looking sketches.  I'm going to post the WIPs when the bonus comes out but...

Would you rather... (have until I am about to sleep)

Comic Roughs 165, 166, 167, and 168!

Sorry about the delay.  >w>  Next week is $7 Bonus Content!  I'll try to put up a poll soon for what everyone would like to see!  Week after that is 4 more pages, then a break week.

Polish

Gonna be polishing up the next 4 pages that are ready to go out tomorrow.  They're colored but not shaded entirely yet, and I can't keep going on an all-nighter.  Post coming tomorrow!

Comic Roughs 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, and 164!
