Welcome to the first page of weekly illustrated series I've tentatively named, "Pick Up Line." The stories will revolve around a handsome young man named Guy, and his attempts to seduce a variety of ladies from the world of popular fiction. His choices along the way will be voted on by supporters with access to polls, and the art and accompanying stories will be posted here exclusively.
These will be open and closed adventures, and there will likely be breaks between finished chapte...

Hey everyone, working on this week's sketch, (which is part one of a special new series I'm very excited about!) But I figured I'd post this WIP because it's still a few hours away from completion and that's probably pushing Tuesday depending on your time zone. So why is it running late? Well, you know that fan art sale I just started over at Hentai Foundry? It totally worked and I've got more work piled up than I've ever had at any one time. I'm not complaining, it helps keep a roof over my hea...

As far as modern action combat games go, there are only three names worth knowing in my opinion; Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, and Devil May Cry. I think the Ninja Gaiden series lost its way after its snarky a-hole yet nonetheless visionary director unceremoniously jumped ship, and Bayonetta 2 was fun a but a little too easy and an obnoxious little sexist punk-ass who could turn into a squirrel marred the story significantly ( so not kidding.) But Devil May Cry has, to me, at least, endured well. It'...

Hey here's what I'm working on today. No unusual effects or tricky lighting in store for the coloring as near as I can tell. Though it seems like whenever I have an "easy one" lined up it doesn't usually work out that way lol.
Well I'll admit that for the lingerie I had to lean on texture a little more than I would have liked. Fact is when I tried to get in there and draw those patterns by hand they just looked scribbly and distracting. Lesson learned! Sometimes working digitally has its perks, but I'm happy with the results. :)
Hey gang, got another Black Desert character going here. And I'm currently starting in on some of the more detailed lingerie I've attempted yet. I'm going to do my best to present that detail while still simplifying it to fit my own cartoon style. We'll see how it goes!
I'm planning another fan art sale here coming up soon, which if you're unfamiliar is where I offer discounts on commission prices for jobs featuring a popular character. And I feel like I should have an image locked and loaded ready to promote it when the time comes. I wouldn't want to use someone else's commission for my own advertisements so I busted out this pic of Lilith from Dark Stalkers.
So we're one page away from the end of act one. I can't tell you how jazzed I am to have a comic so supported that I can tell such a long term story. :)

So there are two things I've been wanting to improve here on my site. One is that Switch simply isn't moving fast enough to provide as many options for voting polls as I'd like. And another issue is what I should start posting every week for my exclusive Patreon sketch, as there is only so much extra Switch content I can come up with without stepping on the story.
So I thought I'd try doing a short scene where I make a sort of male avatar character who has a sexual encoun...

I'm becoming a big fan of commissions that present a story of some kind. In this case the idea of the client's WoW character hooking to cover her adventuring expenses. I honestly have a lot of fun with concepts like this. :)
This one presents a new kind of commission for me personally. Rather than hire me for comic pages the client has instead opted for a full image and then perhaps a sequel image to present a scene. This is a bit of an intriguing idea to me. As now that I'm running low on Switch character profiles to post, I've been racking my brain for new ideas for sketches every Monday. Maybe I should try something similar.
Just before summer of junior year, everyone at Castlewood High School was talking about the new student, Casey Holland. Personally, Bria found her a little suspicious. Casey seemed just too perfect to be real. She was smart, good at sports, she knew how to fix cars, and above all else, she was so pretty she looked like a movie star. Bria had always wanted to talk to her, if only in the vain hope that some of Casey's total perfection would somehow rub off on her, but she could never work up th...

Another commission for the same client of one of his characters from "This Game is Awesome and You Can't Play it Reinbach Because You're a Scrub Who Was Born in America." .....Also known as "Black Desert Online"
Another chapter, another round of revealing more of Casey's issues. I'm a little obsessed with how her hair looks in the last panel, definitely going to keep drawing it that way. I've never drawn anyone taking a shower before, making the next page is going to be interesting. ><
Made it! I think it came out pretty well. :)
Here's what I'm working on today. It presents a challenge largely because their costumes are all bright saturated primary colors and that can be tricky for me. I especially hate using reds on any part of the image that isn't the focal point. As it is now I keep feeling my eyes drawn down to their boots lol.

Just curious on this one!
Hey gang I know I usually do the sketches on Mondays but I may be away from my desk tomorrow and I didn't want to risk missing an update. In any case, I'm happy to introduce Trish and Mary Carter, whose appearances were voted on and decided right here at Patreon. And it was actually a very close vote in both cases! The ponytails and the tall and toned body types just barely won. I'll do my best to keep future polls that interesting. :) Anyhow, on with the profile!
Names: Trish Diane...

Sooo I tried giving this a more painted, "line-less" look, and promptly decided I hated it and that the line art needed to stay. It seems for now, at least, I'm a cartoonist at heart and without solid lines the work just looks wrong to me somehow.
So I compromised: colored line art! I like how this one looks and I think I'll try it again sometime.
On another note thanks to every one who participated in the vote that led to this picture! I'll have another poll w...

One personality flaw I've tried to keep consistent with Casey is that she always just has to push things a little too far.
Two witches in one month? Yes please! I've always had a thing for hot lady spell casters. This job wasn't all smiles however, you see this character is the client's avatar in a Korean MMO called Black Desert Online, and the screenshots from the game they sent for character reference were amazing to look at. This brought up a long dormant pain I haven't known since I was young: the pain of knowing a great game was out, that people were playing it, just not in America. And as of now there is no so...

At the request of a supporter, I decided to post a clean version of my recent pic of Dr. Ann. I'm often reluctant to do this sort of thing, as to me something feels a little off about posting the same thing twice. But in cases like this one, where the come was actually obscuring some of her face, I'll consider posting more clean versions here in the future. :)
Here's Royce's friend he mentioned in Chapter Three. She won't be in the story until act three (and even then it's a small part) so for quite a long time, Patreon supporters will be the only ones who even know what she looks like :)
Name: Dr. Ann Lois Mason
Age: 36
Likes: Martinis, sleeping late, and being condescending.
Dislikes: Her parents, most of her friends, and anytime she has to actually do her job.
