A random sketch

Hey! I just wanted to share a random thing I drew yesterday. And I'm throwing in the PSD file in the attachments here, in case you guys are curious about that.

And, just to be clear, you won't be charged for this one. It's just a bit of bonus content. :)

Poll for illustration #55

Alright, let's do another poll! :) Find the thumbnails you enjoy below and give them a vote. Vote for just one or for several, it's up to you! The winning sketch will be the illustration I make after the one I'm currently working on.

If you're curious about which one won the last poll, you can check out the results of that poll here. The next illustration is coming along pretty well, and if you're curiou...

Illustration #53

Finally finished up this one. It was not the easiest illustration I've made. The angle we're seeing her at turned out to be harder to draw than I had first thought. And those of your who get the time lapse video will probably notice I kept redrawing her face a few times. I hope you enjoy how it turned out in the end!

You'll be getting the reward packs for this one in about a week, on October 7.

I've also attached the version without cum for you guys.

Been having a lot of eye strain...

Bowsette!

I pretty much never do fan art, but it's been funny seeing the whole internet having fun with Bowsette, and she's pretty cool, so I figured I'd contribute!

Note that you won't be charged for this one, and it doesn't have reward packs. But I've attached the layered PSD file here as a little bit of bonus content for you guys, so you can dig through it and see how it was made. :)  

Also, interestingly, I managed to paint this one in a day and a half. I'm kinda shocked at how quickly an...

It's time for yet another poll! Find the thumbnails in the list below that you think have the best potential to make a cool illustration and vote for them.  You can vote for as few or as many of them as you like. I hope you like the two new ones I added. But I also hope you still like the older ones. :)

I hope you're in the mood for a juicy butt! I like how this one came together in the end! ...no pun intended. Hopefully Maya is as fun for you guys as she is for me. :)

I attached the version without cum as well, for you neat and tidy people out there.

The process of making this one has been interesting. At first I made an attempt at sculpting a rough 3D model of this scene for use as a reference. It didn't turn out how I wanted it to, but I figure you might be curious to see it anyway, ...

Poll for illustration #53

Hello! New poll! :) Find the thumbnails in the list below that you think have the best potential to make a cool illustration and vote for them. I added three new ones this time. Trying to keep them a bit rough so they don't take forever to draw. More new options are better than fewer polished options I figure. :) Hopefully they still convey the ideas I was going for!

Illustration #51

Finally finished this one! It took a bit of effort to get through it. It can be a little bit of a jigsaw puzzle to fit all the bodies together without making their proportions all wonky. But I'm decently happy with how it turned out! The boobs squishing together was pretty fun to paint. I hope you guys like it!

You can expect to receive the reward packs for this one in about a week. :)

Thank you for supporting me, everyone!

Poll for illustration #52

Hey everyone! Just dropping a new poll in here for you guys. I decided to cull a few of the thumbnails from previous polls. Please forgive me if your favorite one disappeared this time. :) Wanted to narrow it down to the ones I'm currently most inspired to work on. I hope you understand!

Illustration #50

Half way to a hundred illustrations! Thank you everyone for making sure I get to spend as much time as I do making these. Both old and new supporters, I love you all, and probably don't say it often enough. I'm lucky to have you. <3

I hope you guys like this illustration! Your reward packs will be sent out in about a week from now. :)

This was one where I at first didn't really have a good idea of what sort of environment I wanted to make, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! ...

Hey everyone! New poll! As usual, find the sketches you like below and vote for them. You can vote for as many or as few as you like. I added two new sketches this time. I hope you like them. :)

Have a great Friday and weekend!

Hey everyone! I hope you like this picture I've been working on this month. :) Dryad ladies are always a pleasure to paint!

I felt like the process of making this one went very smoothly initially, but half way through the process I started feeling a little bit directionless with the specific style I wanted to achieve, particularly on the rendering of t...

I hope you're in the mood for a new poll! We're almost at illustration number 50! Find one or more thumbnails below that you think would be fitting for the occasion and vote for them. :) I'll leave this poll up for at least a week so everyone's got time to get their votes in.

Illustration #48

Here are some tentacles for you guys! I hope you like it! If you decide to visit the area in the picture... um... make sure you bring an umbrella, okay?

This one was pretty enjoyable to work on. The organic shapes offer a lot of freedom when drawing them, especially when compared to architectural stuff, so I had a relatively relaxing time with it.

It's time for a poll again! I'm giving you a bit more time this time around so all of you have time to get your votes in. The poll should be up for at least a week, possibly a bit longer depending on how long the illustration I'm working on now will take to finish.

Poll for illustration #48

Here's the poll for the illustration I'll be working on this month! I figured I'd try the shorter duration for the poll again, like last time. It'll be about 3-4 days this time. If that's too short for some of you, let me know, and I'll make sure to give you more time for the next one. :)

Find the thumbnails below that you like best and give them a vote! You can vote for as many or as few of them as you like. I hope there's something all of you can enjoy here. :)

Here's the illustration I've been working on in March! Had some struggles throughout the process of it, especially with keeping the environment and multiple characters in the same perspective. But I also discovered some new things too, so it's been a good one to work on! And I think those trees are the best ones I've painted! I hope you guys like it. :)

The rewards for this illustration will be sent out in about a week from now, on the usual schedule!

A bit of weekend doodling

I was messing around a bit this weekend, trying to do some sketches. It's been a couple of those days where I feel like my skills have just vanished, haha. But I've tried to push through and make something worth posting for you guys, and this is the result of that. You can probably tell I got a bit lazy. :)

I'm adding the PSD file here too for those of you who are into digging through those.

Poll for illustration #47

Sorry about the very late poll this time around! But here it is! It'll have to be a quick one since this poll is for this month's illustration. I'll try to give you at least a few days to get your votes in though. I hope that's okay!

I've added three new sketches this time, and also did a bit of a culling of the less popular older ones (they might return some day if I'm in the mood for them). I hope you find something you like! The quality of the thumbnails varies a bit, so I hope you'll look ...

Hey, everyone! Here's the illustration I've been working on this month! I'm kind of happy with how this one turned out. I hope you are too! The sketch you guys voted for was originally flipped around the other way. Hopefully you don't mind that I settled on this way instead!

I don't quite know what the swirly spheres are. Arcane party lights? Maybe it's a planetarium? Whatever they are, they sure are fun to draw. And I want them in my apartment.

Hey guys! Here's the illustration you guys voted for last time. Maya and a couple of friends having some fun. :)

Here's the cleaner version:


I took a week off this month to mess around with hobby projects. Some 3D modeling stuff to be specific. It's fun to experiment with different things like that sometimes to keep myself from burning out on doing just one thing. And I've been meanin...

Poll for illustration #46

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a nice new years celebration! Here's the first poll of 2018. No brand new sketches, but I found a couple of sketches in my pile of old ones that I like, and I figured I'd throw those in this time. One of them hasn't been in a poll before, so I guess it is new in that sense. I hope you like them!

Find your favorites in the list below and vote for them. You can vote for as many or as few as you want.

Happy new year, everyone! Managed to finish this illustration a couple of hours before midnight. It turned out a little bit different than the thumbnail. I hope you guys don't mind that I gave it a bit more of a seasonal theme!

The reward for this illustration will be sent out in roughly a week (usually on the 7th).

Anyway, I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday, with lots of good food and all that! And I hope 2018 will be awesome for all of you. :) I'll do my best to keep making bett...

The latest addition to the list (number 8) is the first thumbnail sketch I've done on my iPad. Doing them on the iPad works out pretty great! I've been getting more into doing sketching there lately, which unfortunately means I'll rarely do thumbnail sketching during live stream...

Hey! I hope you're all doing great and had a fantastic November. :) Finally finished a new picture for you guys! Maya and her friend are having a bit of fun at her place. :D I like to imagine Maya's place as pretty clean and modern with strong fresh colors. I wish I had a place like that, haha. Maybe one day!

I hope you like how it turned out! I was a bit unhappy with how it looked half way through the process of this one, but I like how it turned out in the end. I feel like the colors in part...

Sketching on the iPad

(If the video won't cooperate, check it out here)

I got an iPad Pro recently, hoping it will encourage me to do more sketching, and enable me to doodle the ideas I get while I'm relaxing and too lazy to sit at my desk and draw. So here's a short time-lapse video for you guys of something relatively simple I did tonight in an attempt to get comfortable with Procreate.

Hey! Here's the new poll! Find the thumbnails you like below and vote for them. :)

I think I'm gonna try doing thumbnails in color from now on as you can see in the two latest additions. I'm still kind of exploring the sketching style I feel works best as a starting point for the full illustrations. So let's see how that works out.

But don't let the colors distract you from voting for the greyscale ones! They'll all be colored and have the same amount of polish in the end, so just vote f...

Hello! I finally finished up the illustration for this month just now. I hope you guys like it. :)

Lately I've been messing around more and more in Corel Painter. The brushes there feel very nice. But I'm continuing to discover new ways of doing things in Photoshop as well. So I'm sort of bouncing between the two programs, unable to make up my mind about where to paint. I try to use the best parts of each program, but who knows, I might end up settling down on just one of them in the end.
