Trucker Hat | Animated

(Sooooooooo this month has been, excuse my language, total shite. I owe you all an apology for how quiet this page has been. There's heat waves making my humble abode unbearable, circumstances outside of my control meaning I thought I was going to lose said humble abode, and a horrendous bout of depression to boot. However, I've worked through some stuff and I'm back on it. I'm really really sorry about this. Also, this ended up being a lot more complicated than I originally thought, as the o...

WIP - Trucker Hat Animation

Hey guys! Here is the line art version of the animated Trucker Hat sequence! 

This was not originally designed to animate consistently, so it creates an interesting morph that jumps about a bit.

Coloured version to come! :D

AnimAugust Poll (second attempt lol)

Hi guys, thanks for coming back with some ideas. Which of these (in no particular order) would you like to see animated in August on Tier 2? Choose as few or as many as you'd like. I'll start with the winner work from the top down until the end of the month!

Animaugust?

Yo! So Tier 2 has been a bit quiet this month, so I thought in August I would focus on doing some animated content! Do you have a sequence you are fond of that you'd like to see animated? (either from Patreon or even from the DA days!) If so let me know below, and I'll do a poll! The winners, as long as it is possible, I shall attempt to animate :).

July Jam - Mysterious Stranger!

Yo! I hope my fellow Europeans have survived the bastard heat wave!

This guy's day at the seaside takes an uncomfortable turn when he is sure someone is following him, always in the shadows, muttering, looking his direction.... and now he's starting to feel kinda strange!

Cheers to Jav for reminding me how fun it can be to add a bit of context. I have perhaps been too wrapped up in the drawing side to focus on the narrative side, which I know you guys like! I hope you like this on...

July Jam Week 2 Sketchbook

Sketches and WIPs, face practice and more! Enjoy!

July Jam - Profile Age Progression study

I love faces and have been drawing them all week and there are probably gonna be some face morphs included in the mix from now on!

I've been working both on anatomy and character work. Even with a blank expression I'm quite pleased with how lively this came out. 

More yummy July jam to come and please check out my weekly sketch dumps as there are loads of ideas in there that don't make it to sequence and I'd love to hear which ideas you guys like. There's also WIPs etc for th...

Thank you for 3 amazing years!

Hey guys. Its been three years (and a month...) since I was a homeless artist creating a Patreon page in a cafe and I can't believe I'm still here. I literally have you guys to thank for working my way out of having nothing! I'm still on that journey, but I'm well on the way thanks to you guys. You haven't just been supporting an artist, you've been my bread and butter. So cheers so so much!

On a lighter note! As voted for in a poll somewhere in the Cretaceous period, here is Mysteries ...

JulyJam Week 1 sketch dump!

Oodles of doodles from my sketchbook! Lots of ideas for future Tfs here! Any take your fancy?

July Jam II - Thrift Store Finds - Lad to Dad!

Cocky lad gets daddified when he tries on a T-shirt at TSF. Welcome to your new life mate.

This is my next entry in the so-far-so-good July Jam. I'm trying to just have fun, not over think, and I think its working so far hehe.

The sketch work for this and other pages from my sketchbook are queued and ready to drop for Tier 3 on the 7th, so keep your eyes peeled my peeps!

Hope you enjoy!

JulyJam!

I'm not gonna keep hitting you with long rambling small violin posts, so I'll keep this short. In my quest to improve my art, I have characteristically lost the plot and had a melt down, and your excellent selves were disappointed I'm sure with my output. However all dark times end with a shiny lightbulb appearing above our heads and I've decided to have a month focusing on speed, intuition, work ethic, and most importantly having FUN with my work. I got so obsessed with how it looked I forgo...

Study IX -...Something!

I'm so sorry for how little work I've got done this month. Over the last few days I've managed to squeeze this out. I'm kinda like a gun with no powder at the moment.

So I guess this chav dude got turned into a WWE reject? XD I dunno. 

 It feels really good to get something uploaded, I'm feeling stronger again. Bring on next month.

Thank you everybody for your continued support after a crazy few years and a particularly difficult month. More to come! x

Update!

Hello my loves. I'm so sorry for the quiet month so far, I've been unwell. I'm finally settled after a few years of living with no fixed abode. I still live in what is considered 'inadequate' accommodation, but I'm happy and I'm able to work. (no running water but I do have electricity!) Unfortunately, now I am settled, the hitherto unprocessed traumas that I let control me for so many years and which ended up with my being homeless (a choice of sorts, but not the choice of a well man) are re...

Futobooth II - Illustrated

Those of you who are old enough will remember that a thousand years ago I ran a poll about which Futobooth sequence illustrate. Well I finally finished it ^^;

Happy June :)

Futobooth V - Photomorph Sequence

Sequence version of Futobooth V!

---

And stay tuned for the full body illustrated version of Futobooth II which drops tomorrow am!

Futobooth V

I got a bit disheartened with these for a while because I felt I wasn't able to push them any further, but I've been playing further with the process and I'm happy enough with this to share it! I hope you like! :) Sequence version coming soon for Tier 1.

Let me know if the file size is too big and I'll upload a smaller version. I'm hoping if my crappy internet can upload it most of you will be able to download it ^^;

Enjoy *bloop*

Study VIII - Polar bull!

I don't know how this is gonna go down but I am very, very, very happy with it. (Though I'm the artist I also already hate it and can see a million things I will do differently next time!) 

This is a benchmark for at least the kind of standard I want to be putting out. I've been doing the same 'style' for years and I realised I had lost my passion.  I've been spending every free hour (I have many) learning to draw and colour and push myself more. This is the first time I've fe...

WIP - Study VIII uncoloured

I've been on this for two days solid now and I'm going to leave the colouring for tomorrow! But for my third tier friends, here is a sneaky peak of what is to come. I'm working every day to improve my expression and anatomy as well as better working on myself and my process. I'm feeling great today though I'm definitely gonna take a break for a bit now I've got this uploaded.

I'm hoping studying the real more will help with my more toony work! Hopefully the two will influence one anothe...

3 year anniversary Poll!

What are we doing to him this year guys? 

>:)

Caption this! 01

This was salvaged from a much bigger project which, just kinda failed. And you guys need TF! But as the project has gone so violently off course and my brain is kinda fried, I thought it'd be fun to see what you guys ideas are for this TF? Best idea gets used in speech bubbles version (with due credit!)

Also I've just realised I haven't don't much hench guy stuff lately. Hmm...

Go go go!

Study VII - Lad to Dad

The body hair took ages XD

Sorry its been a quiet month, I've had a bike accident, migraines and a week with no internet on top of the usual logistical obstacles, so thank you for bearing with!

Hope you enjoy the style and content!

TF Potion Baby! ~ Mysteries collab/commish

We've been working on this all week and we're super proud to share this one, if you'll indulge us. Futo tricks mysteries into drinking his experimental TF potion. Has it had unusual side effects? Or am I just a proper wind up merchant? We'll never know because we'll probably forget soon. Hah! Anyway, it's good to be back! :)

We were trying to recreate the feel of some of our older work and it was fun to revisit and older style and feel, perhaps I needed this!

As its been so long s...

Update

Hello guys, sorry its been quiet. I went over the bars of my bike last week and caught my entire bodyweight, head first, with my drawing arm. Luckily I didn't sustain any major injuries apart from a very bruised arm, but I was unable to draw for about a week, and then migraines hit. Its been a rubbish month for progress, however I am determined to get you guys some TF goodness to enjoy before the month is out. Sorry about this. Thanks for sticking with me and stay tuned. 

Study II - Clean Phased

A clean, browsable version of 'Revenge is in the Roll up' Watch that belly explode in and out of existence at your leisure ;)

Study III - Clean browsable version

Here is Study III, Reggie Jr without the dialogue and with clean, browsable individual phases! 

Study 6 (clean, phased)

Where are studies 4 and 5 you ask? In the bin, lol. Not all studies end up shareworthy. Or even bearably good. But I'm quite pleased with this one! For tier II, clean versions of the sequence with browsable individual phases. If you're on a desktop, scroll back and forth with the arrow keys, you'll really get the feel for the flow of the morph. (I will upload II and III in this format for Tier II + also.

Anyway, happy April. I hope you are all safe and well and coping ok with the crazy ...

Study III - Reggie... Jr?

So today  has been a very good day for flow and productivity! I started this this morning and voila! I'm also super tired and can't think of a decent write up.

Clean versions and individual phases coming to Tier 2!

Revenge is in the roll up - (Study II)

What started as an anatomical study ended up being quite a dramatic little sequence. Or large? Anyway. I hope you enjoy! (Jokes on the caster... Sadie loves big guys!)

Hope you're all doing ok given the apocalypse an' all. Stay positive and enjoy the little moments. Life is precious!

Sketchdump March

I've been learning to draw! I hope to incorporate this type of dynamism and anatomical detail in future work! But at the moment its just sketch, sketch sketch. I'm gonna start having more to share, so I'll probably do a weekly sketch dump, see how it goes! 

Futobooth IV - Sequence Version

The sequence version of the most recent face morph! :)
