Expeditionary Artwork

Hey everybody. First day of the rest of my life, hurhur, jk.

So yeah, today turned out very different from how I'd originally imagined it. I got woken up by a pneumatic drill about three hours ahead of schedule, resulting in a very groggy morning, during which I found out that some part of my computer is dying again. I have yet to find out which part specifically, but just to be safe, I moved my regular update ahead of schedule and locked down everything that n...

Get in loser! We've got places to be ...

Alright! The results are in and, aside from one exception, they're about what I would have suspected, but it's still always good to have someone else to blame - yes, that's you :b

By far the most popular choices were the direct influence options and the stamp-collection deal, though I had expected the "content suggestions" to win out over the "comic priority" one. Mind you, I'm not complain...

All The Sketches Great And Small

Alright, took my sorry ass long enough to put this together ... sketch post for this month!

First up we have a friend's character having himself a fry up on his very olde kitchen, wood burning stove, hanging herbs, gunnysack and all that. It was a visual inspiration I had at the time and just wanted to get out, so there's not much more to it than hat X3

Next we have another commission by FA's fluffcat of his Charr having a somewhat forecful (but not unwanted) encounter with some s...

Future Of The Patreon

Alright, so this is what I wanted to do back in May, before I got sick and everything derailed X3

I've been thinking about restructuring the patreon for a while and offering a couple' more perks to supporters. I asked around a bit (a long-ass time ago) for some ideas too, and I'll lay out what I think is sensible of the suggestions I got, and what changes I would be looking to implement.

Huey Lewis ain't got nothing on this ...

Hey everybody. Halfway through the month and I barely have anything to show for myself, at least as far as finished artwork is concerned anyway :b~

Let's dive right into it, shall we?

-

In chronological order - first we have a bit of fan art I did for Carrot's and Vixel's "The Forest Of Love" game that can be supported here>> https://www.patreon.com/CarrotsCritters 

As I'd mentio...

Favorite Foxes

Nothing too exciting in this upload - just me indulging in drawing my new set of vixens.

First, your average family dinner. Megaera happens to be a talented chef, which might be a bit of a cliché given her disposition otherwise. She doesn't get to host her sisters a lot, but when they do happen to come around she's always happy to share her cooking skills and they are equally happy to indulge her for it - never mind Alecto's expression. She's happy too :b

Second is just Meg with ...

Pretty Girls Parade

So, it's been a bit of a weak month, all things considered. I blame part of that on getting sick early and then having to play catch up with business, which is always a huge pain X3

Enough whining though. Let's get started on what's there ...

-

First a return of my little amur leopard girl in her hijab - worn properly this time around X3

I don't know what specifically inspired me to draw her again, though I guess it wasn't really her at first. The original idea was jus...

FenFren and a Hamster

Alrighty, so here's something you don't see every day - sign language in sequential art. I don't remember my original inspiration as to why I wanted to make her mute, but I suppose it'll definitely cut down on all that screm fennecs are so infamous for :b and yes, these are all the same character, Tisiphone (or Tiffy, if you're brave).

The first set with the signing was done in protest towards the (rather ridiculous) changes and clarifications to the FA AUP, where characters of...

Memorabilia

Here we have the big versions of that candid Nyx portrait I put up on FA the other day, this being the alternative version I forgot I'd done, but the look didn't satisfy me, so I stuck with the "plain" one. One of these days I'm going to have to put some work into studying dried blood for shit like this. Shouldn't be too hard. I have several neighbors I'm sure wont be missed 9_9

I never thought of the full context of how this image came to be, but it's very much the slightly bemused "Pu...

Doodledidoos again

All of this should be fairly self-explanatory.

There's a progression of the family portrait in greyscales, though you'll notice I ended up tweaking the red vixens face a little more in the final stages X3

And we have a bit of a styling experiment for the lady in the chair. Looking at it in tiny resolution, I see some proportion problems, but those aren't too important, given this really is just doodles.

-

Sorry this has been such a bleak month. I'll catch everyone up w...

Bad People, Big Picture

So I had actually hoped to do a big release during this last week of the month, outlining a couple' things I want to do in the future and sharing some art, but I managed to grab some kind of cold on the weekend, and I'm back and forth between the different states that come naturally with such an illness - I'll spare you the details. Don't worry though, it's not a Covid strain.

Anyway, I currently lack the energy to do very big a post, so I'll just share this and a doodle for T1 and then...

War Dance in big

Me revisiting some old themes. Not the first time I've done a dancing anybody, as you know. Definitely not the only one I've done recently, but probably one I'm happier with than with other dancers. It's been a long while though since the last time I did a laser effect like this though :3

I wont go into too much detail as to what this actually relates to, so I'm afraid the title will remain obscure, she's likely to become a recurring character in the future though, as previous images ha...

Newest Native Nakeds

As usual, a little more discussion in the T1 uploads <3

Dude, where's the content?

Hey everybody! Sorry for my complete absence this month, it's been a weird time and a lot of unexpected things have come together at key times where I would otherwise have been working on art to show. That's not to say I have no art at all, it just means it's late in being shown off, however there definitely isn't as much as I'd like there to be X3

Some of you apparently had display issue with the last upload format/images missing or some such thing, so I'm going to revert to showing wh...

Sketches And Doodles And Scraps, Oh My ~

Alrighty, time for all those things that aren't ready yet, or not super-duper pretty.

First we have yet another thing I'm rendering for Fluffcat, a) because I love size difference, b) because I like the opportunity to do some story telling fully rendered again and c) because he's throwing an unhealthy amount of money at me and, as Frito Pendejo once said "I like money".

I'd like to think thi sis fairly self-explanatory, all things considered, so I'm not going to go into a...

A Lesson In Presentation

This month is turning out to be a rather explicit and fetish-y one by the looks of it X3  I'm not uploading the doodle in this one, because the native resolution is really what's uploaded publicly, so I figure it doesn't warrant putting up here.

-

Anyway, I suppose we can get right into it; First up is the rendered version of something Fluffcat had me draw up ... I think in late January (?). He'd originally been contacted by someone on a GW2 board about artwork involving his ...

This Big Love

Eyo, almost forgot this needs uploading here too :b

So here's another one of those pictures I really wanted to do, even though I suppose it's not quite as close to heart as some others that I've shown in the past, but I really, really wanted to revisit that Leopard, because she turned out so nice last year =w=

Anyway, it might seem deceptively simple, but this actually fought me for quite a bit. The proportions and the pose didn't want to come together at all and I think I messed ...

Rough Love

Here's some more doodles that didn't make the cut.

To be honest, not for any particular reason other than I lost interest in the iteration once I'd had the doodle done. I suppose I can always pull them up for some later endeavour.

~<3

Doodle-di-doodles

Mind your eyes, all ye who wish not to see the noms.

So as promised (though somewhat late), here's that last bit of backlog doodle stuff I pulled together, just about all of it vore themed in one way or another. Gonna experiment with this upload format a bit and, if it works out, might present sketches in this form in the future.

Ironically, the first one isn't vore themed at all, or at least not directly, which suits it well for upload cover image purposes, but that didn't enter ...

Ritualistic in HD

So, as per usual, I almost forgot to upload these in the month they were published in, which I feel would have been very bad form of me :b

Both of these share a bit of a theme, at least remotely, in that both psychoactive materials and dances originate from tribal rituals in the wider context of culture. I'm sure that both can also be considered extensions of natural behavior and processes, such as animals eating fermenting fruit to get a high, or bunnies binky-ing when they're happy be...

Ye Doodles Of Olde

I forgot about these again, didn't I? :b

Were starting to get into some OLD stuff here, like almost a decade old in at least two cases, so let's get started, before they fall apart as some kind of planned obsolescence scheme takes hold of the files.

First up, a speedy doodle I did some years back of a character set in a very abstract story supposed to take place at the end of the universe. I had dreamed this particular character at the time, and this was my attempt to capture her...

Nature Is Metal

Sorta XD

A Type 5 commission for Ralenfox of his Zoe just about to nab herself some lunch, which doesn't look half a enthusiastic about that proposition as she does - ah well.

There's not a lot to say about this one, aside from the fact that I got to apply a lot of that teeth drawing I do for Tobur on someone else for a change. It's interesting to draw two very similarly shaped characters in my lined style after all this time (similar to Tobur and Nele, that is).

Aside from ...

Camp Fire Yarn HD

So I don't have a whole lot to say about this one, like with most of the thursday night doodles I do.

This is, more or less, another character concept, though it's not a very original one by my standards. I don't know what it is with me about fennecs with guns :b

Anyway, I'd mentioned on previous uploads that I'm exploring the character and world of my murderous red vixen a little and this is actually part of that exploration - to a degree. In all honesty, I just wanted an excuse ...

When it just wont work

I don't know if I'm ust uninspired or if something else is conspiring against my creativity on this one, but this one just doesn't want to coem together at all.

I figured it might be interesting to see what doesn't make the cut when I start in on something, so here you go :3

That thing I advertised ...

So a couple' months back now (iirc) I'd put out a small add for a comic project I'd be working on with a customer, which required a male third to insert himself and the customer basically held job interviews.

This is that. Despite all the odd designs, you get no points for guessing who the third protagonist is though :b~

Now, the reason I'm uploading this here right now is because some unfortunate stuff happened right as I finished this first page, and now the future of the projec...

Doodle - White

New character I'm concepting. Run-of-the-mill arctic fox in appearance. I'll likely be doing more of these character doodles, maybe do some write-ups, if anyone's interested.

Two Kinds Of Exposition

Happy New Year everybody!

Sorry I'm a few days later uploading these. We currently have a guest from out of town and it's been somewhat preoccupying.

Anywho, here's the latest of my painterly pictures in large. Both of them I experimented with a little bit again, mostly with the lighting process.

-

First we have a lovely leopard girl getting herself exposed by a "friend". I've never been much into flashing or public exposition as a fetish, rather I just consider nakedn...

Sketches and Doodles (Thematics)

Aw man, time's way overdue for one of these again, eh? X3

Honestly, I'm emebarassed to even look at these, but I've told you about the skill parity issues before, so I wont repeat myself here and instead just offer explanations on what's going on.

-

First up, Dark Heresy, back when I was still the GM of our group.

The first two were concepts for the von Mechetal noble house's guard. Both ended up being used in the campaign I ran, with the first two being used at off-wo...

The latest HD stuff

The last completed images of 2022 coming in a little late, cuz I'm a lazy (and forgetful) sod.

-

I forget the character's name, but I remember being rather pleased with the sketchydoodle of Sandow's african wild dog character - first one I've drawn to my knowledge too, despite them actually being a very interesting species and having a very distinct anatomical structure (at least as far as the head shape goes). Nice to get to do some slice-of-life stuff from time to time.

-<...

Penis Inspection Day

Again, it is what it is XD

Lenyavok's Mouritzeen giving her underlings that mandatory check up. Given the casualty numbers back in those days, I wonder just how many of these she does each month .... or week? <_<

I've drawn her before, so it should come to no one's surprise I'd do something like this. That throw-away doodle this references just struck me as a funny concept. One of those stupid ideas that wont leave you alone until you draw them, that's really all there is to...
