Sunbathing

2nd commission of Rei, this time not pregnant, which might be a good or a bad thing depending your tastes.

If you follow me on Twitter you might have seen the small version of this already a few days ago because the person who commissioned it posted it right away, and I felt like it would be nice to retweet it.

So as usual with beach themed pics, Im not too happy with it since I can never get the lighting to look as good as other settings. I think if you compare it with the previo...

Drowsy

Yep, its Claire again. Well, in truth its already been 2 months since I last did a pic of her but somehow it feels like it was just 2 weeks. Either way you can tell I really like her by how often Ive been drawing her, and I think most people do as well from how well the last pic was received.

So this time we went for something with nudity again although I tried to still keep a very cute and innocent vibe similar to the last one. I imagined the scene as her having just woken up and still...

Snowbound

Now for the actual first thing Ive done this year (since the last one was still from december), and its a character most should recognize by now. Its hard to believe the last one was back in august, feels like it was just a month ago or something.

For this one there were 3 key components: it had to be something that could be used as wallpaper, no explicit nudity, and thigh highs/stockings. Bonus points for snowing outside which isnt any extra trouble so of course I added that as well. 2020-01-08 16:26:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Glance

First post of 2020! This is the pic I based my new icon on, and for this one I wanted to do something more on the cute side again since those are my favorites lately (especially after "Ragequit"). And I also wanted to do something simple/easy so a portrait was the obvious choice.

I was very unsure on whether to have her fully naked or not, and she was almost until the very end but because halfway through I added the "headphones" (Im sure this would start another debate on how au ra woul...

Nephirin

So I had another old one I wanted to post, especially because I havent posted any back focused pics in a while.

I remember when I finished it I wasnt happy with it at all for some reason (thus me not posting it), but now I really like it, despite it not having the polish and softness of newer ones. 

You might notice this au ra has the unique trait of her scales covering the entirety of her hands, basically turning them into claws. I like it when people do stuff like this inst...

Kalestin

Finally been doing some new stuff so here is one I did the other day. 

Another au ra has joined the sweater craze, although that was mostly my idea since I thought it looked good for this scene. The core of the idea here was to have her leaning forward with breasts hanging, teasing the viewer, then the rest was up to me. Obviously this is one of my favorite things to draw, and I wanted something that wouldnt give me too much trouble to get into things again.

I also really lik...

Foreplay

Unusual posting time today because my sleep has been completely messed up and I probably wont be awake at the usual hour.

So I was looking through old pics to see which I havent posted before that I thought people would enjoy seeing, and this one jumped out at me. It was one of the few couple pics I did last year, and while technically Im not happy with it, I feel like it still has that super romantic and soft look all my couple pics have, so it was definitely worth posting.

I act...

Model

You can tell I had no idea what to call this one, but her pose gave me the feel of someone modelling so I went with that.

Like I said in the previous post I wasnt going for anything new or unique here, I just wanted to draw her and do something that looked good. I even went with her usual see-through white top + panties that Ive used many times in the past, its a combo I can always rely on to look good when I cant think of anything else.

Theres also the breast grab of course which...

Adamia

So this one was actually done back in June, I think it was the last commission I did just before Shadowbringers launched and I took a long break. I didnt post it earlier because I thought the commissioner preferred it to be private but they changed their mind meanwhile so yeah, here it is. I also havent posted many pregnancy pics this year so I thought it wouldnt hurt to post another one. 

I think the main stand out feature with this one is actually the background, and I dont reall...

Safe

Its Claire again, this time being shy and cute.

Lots of girls with scarves lately, I guess I upgraded from shoulder fetish artist to scarf fetish (without giving up the shoulders of course as seen here). And sweaters are also pretty popular lately, at least since I did that ragequit pic of my au ra wearing one, although I dont know how much influence that had. Either way it something I really like so Im glad to be doing more of them.

Anyway for this scene I wanted her to be sort o...

Lakeland

I was looking forward to posting this one because its a break from all the indoors/bedroom scenes, plus I think Kei is one of the favorites around here so I think many people will enjoy it.

I was given freedom with pretty much everything here, with the only keys being that she would be topless and if possible in an area with a lot of purple. So then we immediately realized lakeland was the perfect place for this for keeping it lore friendly.

Originally I was actually going to draw...

Morning Coffee

There has been a high demand for this kind of sweater and rainy day pic lately. Not sure if it was that pic of my au ra that triggered it but yeah, you can expect to see more of them.

Im sure you all know who this is by now (Marie), though this time I decided to draw her from the left side since every drawing was either front or right (because of the hair).

For this one I had the idea of having her drink coffee instead of just posing for the camera or whatever, to make it more cas...

Rei

Its been a long time since Ive posted a pregnancy pic, and I know there are a few people who love it around here so I hope youll enjoy it.

I thought the character was pretty cute (although I think she would look better with both eyes red), and I like this hairstyle despite it being on the short side.

Red and black always look great together so I thought Id use that for the babydoll, with the bonus that it matches the colors of her hair. And with the overall pic having yellow/brown...

Late

Was looking forward to posting this one since its one Im really happy with.

The character is Maja, someone I havent done in a while (over a year actually) so some might not remember her or maybe havent even seen her before.

The idea for this one was to have her wearing an open flannel shirt plus the usual scarf she is always seen with. Since I always like having a small scene to put things into context I imagined this as her being late to go somewhere and rushing to put the shirt ...

Falcy

Here is the finished version of the last sketch I posted.

This is a character from Aion, although she is human so it doesnt really matter since they would look similar anywhere.

I think her stand out feature is clearly the hair, with those big curls and the red color always drawing your attention, so its what I worked the hardest on. I wanted it to have a really smooth look, almost like silk, something that would make you want to touch it.

Then she also wears that tiara whic...

Rain

I know I already had a pic called "Rain" earlier this year but this time the character is actually called Rain and since its the first time Im drawing her, of course Im using her name.

So yeah, a wolf viera, with a tail even. This one had a much cuter look than the previous ones Ive drawn so I wanted to stay true to that.

This time they actually wanted exactly what I did, with the window behind her and raining/snowing outside, so it was perfect seeing as how this is what Im most c...

Yotsuyu

Ive had her in my to draw list for a long time and I was finally able to check her off my list this month thanks to a fellow patron commissioning her.

The biggest challenge with this one was to do a pose that showed everything while still keeping the look of elegance and arrogance youd expect her to have (although I did give her a more gentle look, as I always do). I thought the pipe was a must have so I decided very early it had to be in it.

Then we dressed her up in something a ...

Alice

Havent posted any smaller girls in a while so I thought Id do that for today just for the sake of variety. You can see also I put more focus on the feet than usual since its something they liked, but of course I tried to avoid it becoming too fetishy because thats always bad, so its just another element of the pic.

Not much to say otherwise. Actually I gave her pink lips and nails originally which I liked more, but they said they wanted black ones so yeah, had to change that. Felt like ...

Soft

Here is that Asha drawing I teased a few days ago. Well, I didnt say who it was but it was pretty obvious from the hairstyle and dark skin, etc.

This is a kind of pic Ive wanted to do for a long time, the upside down angle. I thought it was gonna give me a lot of trouble but everything went so smoothly it actually turned out to be one of the easiest ones Ive done lately.

There are a lot of reasons I like this type of scene, first being how close the "camera" is to the character, g...

Ragequit

So this is a bit of a shadow drop, since I dont think Ive even mentioned anything about it before, and usually I always talk about the things Im working on or plan to do when it comes to her. Its really hard to follow up that viera portrait I posted last time too, but personal bias and all, I like this one just as much. I remember when I finished it I was just like "aaaaaahh she looks so adorable" and I just wanted to show it to everyone right away, lol.

The "naked sweater" look is one ...

Theja

So its about time I posted that Viera from the sketch.

I think this one turned out to be pretty special, and I tried a few new things with the lighting that I hadnt done before. If you remember the sketch, it didnt have any background at all because I had no idea if I was gonna do one (they didnt care if I did one or not). But since I always have trouble making things look interesting without a background I started playing around with it and well, it turned into this.

She was desc...

Noire

Yep, more Kuro. You can tell she is one of the newest victims of commission addiction, lol. 

For this one, the theme I was pitched was "east meets west", and I have to say I was a bit skeptical at first... "Will a cowboy hat and a kimono really match?". Well, they somehow did, and actually created a very unique/exotic look.

I also decided pretty early on I wanted her to have her eyes closed, because it drastically boosts the elegance factor, and it was just perfect for someth...

Claire

Youre gonna be hearing this a lot from me in the next few posts but, I love this one. Both the overall look and how cute the character is.

Its no secret that I highly dislike short hair in most situations, but here it works really well and I wouldnt change it even if I could. It just has the right style I guess.

Then the overall colors of her, the way the orange hair/tail go with the green eyes, the freckles, and especially her body type, which is pretty much a 10 for me (I do hav...

Whispers in the Wind

Well, here it is. This one came kinda out of nowhere, I just wanted to do something that wouldnt give me too much trouble, and I hadnt drawn her in a yukata before so there.

Ive always liked this kind of side view, and one thing I love about it is although her breast is fully visible the most sensual part about it is actually the back of the shoulder. There is something about that zone that when done like this gives this sense of vulnerability to the character. And then Ive also always ...

Attrix

Now here is one that Im really happy with.

At first I was a bit worried because the character is basically a normal human girl with no real stand out features outside of the heterochromia, and that makes it hard for me to make it look like the character since it could just be any other girl. Usually when this is the case you can tell characters by their outfit, but since she is also pretty much naked I didnt even have that.

It all turned out fine in the end though, and I love the ...

Under the Moonlight

So as I said in the previous post this is one Im not too happy with, and its a shame because I feel like it had so much potential from the sketch, but I just couldnt get the look I wanted, which would have the shading looking a lot more realistic.

Its probably due to me not having done a night time pic in a long time... In fact, the last one was back in January with the exact same character (Scarlet).

Still I do like the light hitting on her from the window and of course the pose/...

Ya'shari

So here is a miqo'te as promised, and a pretty explicit one again. And she also has a bunch of piercings like Mizuki... People seem to really like those.

This is actually one that I wasnt sure about when I got the request, because Im always worried this kind of pose might be too vulgar, plus the whole setting with her sitting at a counter on a bar. I dont like anything that implies the character has been drinking and isnt in full control of herself so I made sure she DIDNT look drunk or...

Graceful

This is probably my favorite of the last few Ive done, and one of those rare ones that Im completely happy with, so I was kinda holding on it to before posting it. I feel like its probably going to be very popular too since its that angle everyone likes.

Ive done a few of these of course, but I love how everything comes together so well here. Especially the overall purple theme, with her skin standing out as the only warmer color.

Then I used a bit of texture on the highlights aga...

Selfie

Wanted to post something that isnt an au ra just to keep things from getting too repetitive (especially since I just posted 3 raens in a row).

So this is Mika again, and since I usually focus on her back view, this time I wanted the opposite. A nice view from above with focus on breasts and getting that nice bikini squish look.

This kind of perspective is very tricky since I never know how much to shrink the far away parts and such, but she looks great to me so I think I did a pre...

Mizuki

Something a bit different again. 

Although not my original intention, I couldnt get the background to work for this one but I thought the character looked great by itself, so why not just ditch the background and try a different look?

There are some pros and cons to this here. The things I really like are how having no background really puts emphasis on the form and shading of the character. I love the way her skin looks here, its just so soft and pretty much what I wish ever...
