Sue Storm - Fantastic Four pinup

To get into the spirit of the movie, it felt right to draw this beautiful bombastic babe!

Status - Update!

Hi everyone!

To give you guys a quick update on what I'm up to right now, is I'm cleaning up animated sequences for the next chapter of the Thank you for coming ren'py digital novel. It's going along well but it takes more time then the comic pages. I will try to keep you guys fed with work in progress, but I might also make game update before the chapter is done. Update as it grows instead of waiting for the end. I really hate not giving updates. As comic pages go, I can score them on ...

I could have just flipped her hair... But I really wanted to have two angles. I might regret that later, but that's a problem for future me. Mwahahaha!

Background previews

I've worked through the new chapter's script and started to work on the visual. Usually I'll start with backgrounds and work towards the characters.

Here two of them!
Can't wait to have my characters over them.

cheers!

Working with Ren'py

You know, sometimes I'll draw and even at sketch level, I'll go "Hey I can share this, keep everyone up to date!" but when I do these games/novels I have to put some time on script and code.

But what the heck, it looks kinda like this.

Just to let you know, chapter 3 of Brandy is moving along :)

Cheers!

Adam is now in FULL control and loose on the world. Will Marie and Tera be enough to stop him and save Lucas?

Next Marie update

Hi guys!

As of right now, the next update is fully flatten (Color setup) and should be done tomorrow or Thursday. I wanted to keep the 4 page update but it takes a lot more time between updates so I'm setting back to 3 so I can do them faster. I've also got some advance for the next one already. We are nearing the final part of this issue and can't wait to show you the last page. SO EXCITED!

Also can't wait to get back to Brandy and finishing up that Ren'py.

Wrath of the Nun-Ja

No, this isn't a new title I'm starting, I'm going to finish the Marie Chapter and finish the Brandy Ren'py. These are my priorities.
But this character, if you've been following me for a number of years, I keep drawing her over and over. She's the Batman of my Northverse. I want to see her with Mighty Honey, Alpha Male, Marie...
Anyway, she's been nagging me to draw her so I complied so I could keep working on the colors of the next Marie update.

Here you go! Happy Nun-Ja? Can I...

Ren'py character concept

Hi folks!

Still working on Marie, but I slip a few hours here and there on the next upate for the Thank you for coming Ren'py. In the next Brandy story, there's another female character with her. (Her name is Nina, not Tina.)
But here you go!

Key is in the link:

Mighty Honey quick pinup

I miss Mighty Honey a lot and I often have the urge to draw her. Well I did just that and tried to tweak the style a bit to make it feel more like it's an animated series.

Here you go!

Marie layouts and quick update

Hi everyone!

The next Marie update is being cleaned up as I type this. I have a page with an incredibly complex layout that I hope will turn out good. I've been working on Marie and drawing character sketches for the Ren'py and just drawing for fun.

I'll be posting more stuff with the coming days. Thanks for your patience!

Quick Status update

Hi guys!

Sorry I've been quiet, but I've also been working. I've done a bunch of stuff that I can't show because it's writing and making sure the story and what is coming next is solid.

I'm almost done with the new update, like possibly tomorrow with the next 4 pages.

Some personal stuff kinda happened, but it's life. Stuff happens.

Super excited about the next update, and for your patience, here's a sketch of Brandy in a jungle hero outfit.

Cheers,

Status update - One more Cutie!

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to give a heads up as some things have happened this week that kept me from working as much as I wanted on my Patreon. Nothing bad, sometimes opportunities knock and you can't say no. But I'm more than halfway done with the next Marie update and have kept moving with the Ren'py script (which I need to finish before drawing anything else).

So there you go and thank you for your patience!

Here's another image from the next chapter of my Ren'py. I'm so sorry, I just love drawing Brandy so much. This is from a movie she did early in her career. I'm not being subtle about the two shows this is based upon.

Marie Status and general update.

Hello everyone,

I'm working on the finishing touches of the next Marie udpate! Possibly tomorrow it will be up. I'm also starting to work on the next Brandy game update. I've started the writing/coding process and I'm very happy of where it's going. I have to be honest, my situation changed after the last game update so my time became more limited. However I was also stuck with so many ideas, I felt like I wasn't sure how to go next. Well sometimes taking some distance puts everything i...
