Poll for illustration #81

Hey! I got positive feedback from you guys on the polls with fewer options and alternating between polls with new sketches and only old sketches, so let's do another poll with just old thumbnails again this time, to get some of them done! Pick the thumbnail sketches you like best and give them a vote. I hope your favorite one wins. :)

Illustration #79

Here's the finished illustration, finally! Sorry about it taking a bit longer than it should have. I feel like these bathing scenes have become sort of a thing I do. I like them! Even so, I still think it's pretty hard to draw water, so, uh, I guess I better continue doing them so I get better at it!

So, this has been my second attempt at a full-on 3D assisted workflow, and there's been a lot of useful things to learn from it, which is great! I am starting to feel a little bit fatigued ...

Poll for illustration #80

Just four this time around! Find your favorites and give them your votes. You can vote for more than one if you want to.

Lately I'm sort of trying to alternate which ones I put in the poll, instead of having all the same ones plus one or two new ones every time. Maybe it'll make some of the older sketches feel a little bit more fresh when you don't see them every single time.

Illustration #78

Happy new year, everyone! I hope you've all had safe and relaxing holidays. :)

I took some extra time off to spend with family and stuff this December, so the illustration was done a few days later than usual, but here it is! I feel pretty good about the result, and I hope you're happy with it too. It's not often Maya and Luke both appear in the same picture for some reason, so this is sort of a rare one! The bathing theme is maybe a bit less rare, haha. I love it though.

As usual...

Poll for illustration #79

Hey, I hope you're doing well! I know some of you are really attached to some of the older sketches I've done and are a bit sad to see them always lose to newer sketches in the polls, so I figured I'd clear out some of the newer options this time around. They aren't gone forever though, so if there was one you really liked last time that disappeared, don't worry too much. :)

Have a look at the sketches below and vote for the ones you think can become a cool illustration.

And if yo...

Illustration #77

Hello! I hope November's been good for all of you. Here's what I did this month! It's always really fun to paint purple girls, so I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I also enjoyed it because I managed to hone in on a slightly more structured workflow. It's always a relief to feel like stuff comes together in a way I can more easily organize in my head and replicate in future work. And I hope that translates to you guys also understanding the process more easily when you see it.

You might a...

Poll for illustration #78

Hey, here's a new poll! Have a look at the sketches and vote for the ones you think will become the best paintings. I hope you like them! Both of the new ones ended up being kinda bubble themed. I guess I was in a mood for bubbles! They're fun shapes.

Illustration #76

Hey, everyone, here's this month's illustration. I hope you like it! My brain is a bit fried now from noodling on tiny details for days, so I'm gonna give it a rest for a day or two before I get back to work. I think it turned out alright though!

You'll get a message from me in about a week from now as usual, on November 7, where I'll give you the download links for the rewards.

I hope you had or are having a nice Halloween. Thank you for supporting me. You're all great. :)

Always feels good to finish up a new illustration! Had fun painting this one. Been wanting to get around to doing a picture like this for quite a while, so thanks for voting for it. I hope you like seeing elf girls feeling good as much as I do!

I'll send you the reward pack for this one on the normal schedule, on October 7, so look for a private message from me then! :)

I'm looking forward to start working on some new ideas over the next few days. Already have some ideas in the ba...

Illustration #74

Hey! Here's the illustration I did this month. It had some challenges, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I hope you are too!

Those of you who are signed up for rewards as of me posting this post will receive a private message on August 7 with the download links for the reward pack.

It's weird how some art styles feel like they lend themselves better to some themes than others. I always find it a bit more challenging to illustrate modern themes with my art style than, sa...

I heard people have been talking a lot about demon sperm this month, so I guess this illustration is somewhat appropriate! I hope you guys like it!

I'll send you a message on the regular schedule, on August 7, containing the download links to the rewards. Keep an eye out for that.

I kinda feel like I've had a small eureka moment in my workflow this month, which has been fun! I typically paint with fairly opaque strokes because that was most intuitive to me, but this time I've trie...

It's been an intense June! I hope you're all healthy and doing well. And I hope this picture I've been working on this month can contribute a tiny bit to ending the month on a positive note. I quite enjoyed making it!

You can expect to receive a message containing the rewards in about a week from now, on the 7th of July, as usual.

When you get the rewards you might notice I took a different approach with this one compared to the last illustration I made. The workflow for this one ...

Birthday!

Hey everyone! It's my birthday, so I just wanted to share a quick birthday drawing I did. :)

And for the occasion I've also set up a birthday sale on my Gumroad page. All the past reward packs will be 50% off the regular price there if you use the code 'birthday' at checkout.

I hope you're all having a good weekend!

Poll for illustration #73

Here's the poll for #73! Find the thumbnail sketches below that you think could be coolest when they're painted and give them a vote. The new ones I added may be a little bit more polished in some ways than the other ones, but I ask that you don't let that distract you from seeing the potential in each sketch. :)

The change in sketching style in the two new sketches felt pretty good. In those I kinda just started blocking in colors right off the bat instead of doing the more structured ...

Illustration #71

Hey! I hope you are all doing well. Here's the new illustration I've been working on this month!

It's always fun to return to these nature environments after I've drawn other stuff for a bit. And I feel like this one went pretty smoothly, even though the lighting was a bit challenging. I learned a few things, so that's a success! I hope you guys can pick up a few tips from watching the process too.

In about a week, on June 7, I'll send you a private message with the download links...

Hey everyone! There are a lot more of you here this month, so first I wanna say welcome to everyone who's new! I'm happy to have you here. :)

Here's this month's illustration. I hope you like it! I always appreciate an opportunity to paint another one of my red elves, so this one's been fun.

I'll send you a private message with the rewards for this one after I've put together the reward pack in about a week from now, on May 7. In case you're new and missed that info, the 7th each ...

An announcement I hope you'll like!

It's been over 5 years since I started my Patreon page, and there are now over one thousand of you supporting me! So I finally feel comfortable enough to commit to the biggest change to my Patreon page since it started.

I've always wished to make sure everyone feels good about supporting me here and that you feel you're getting a good deal. So, as of today, the full reward pack for each illustration is now $3 instead of $10! And this $3 reward tier is now the only one available when cho...

Hey! I'm happy to finally have finished this one. I hope you like her, even if she seems like the greedy type who always wants more. Maybe that's exactly why you like her? :)

I'll send you a message with links to the rewards for this one on the regular scheduled time, on April 7.

You'll notice in the work-in-progress images and video that I did some 3D modeling for parts of the environment in this illustration. 3D modeling is something I've always been interested in bringing into ...

First illustration of 2020! Maya seems to be working her way through her lube supply. I hope you guys like how it turned out, and thank you very much for supporting it! :) 

Since I had more time than usual to work on this one, I managed to not be stressed at all, enjoyed it quite a bit, and got to take some time off and stuff. It's been nice! 

You'll be getting the reward packs you signed up for at the usual scheduled time, on February 7, so keep an eye out for a message...

How I do thumbnail sketches

I've had several people lately ask about how I do my thumbnail sketches and also how to add colors to grayscale values, so I figured I'd share a little explanation.

I like to split the sketching, values, and colors into separate steps like shown in the image so I don't have to juggle as many tasks simultaneously in my brain and can focus on one thing at a time. It allows me to play around in a non-destructive way and search for colors that harmonize well and lighting that draws your att...
