Ruins Traditional Doodle

"Beware the hallways of the Hollow Eye. For the endless wandering of the Restless will always be found within their dusty depths" 

 Played around with some copics to see how they worked with my inks! Definitely seeing some streaks with it all, but it made for a fun trial pic!

Team Wipe Page 25 Hi Res

And the hi res of the newest team wipe page!!

Team Wipe Page 25!

They say a rolling stone gathers no moss, but rolling dragons do gather the gold :3c! Bod has had a good break there, but it's time to get back to the loot hoovering! Thankfully our immobile loot balloon here has a handy BF ready to roll them around~


Wooo finally got another page done! It's only been what.... half a year or so X'D. Good to finally get back in the rhythm of working on these!!

Mid Month Update July!

Hey everyone I got a quick update for you all so far this month. Sadly doesn't feel quite as large as it normally is, but I promise there is good reasoning for it haha! I'm pretty much wrapping up the last finishing touches on team wipe page 25 tonight! I'm expecting for that to be finished tonight or tomorrow at the latest if I feel it needs a few tweaks haha. So expect the new comic page to be posted shortly ;o;!! Outside of that I'm still slowly progressing through work on my trade pic, al...

Second Skin Hi Res

And the hi Res of the Latex study!

Second Skin

Wrapped up my study from the other month! Have always loved the idea that latex fits like a second skin, just stretching and hugging every square inch of the body it can~

Definetly learned a ton playing around with this one! Wanted to take a bit of a different approach and try to use various references to create a study pic rather than studying a single photo. As a result a lot of this has been a lot more difficult, but at the same time brought about a heck of a lot more learning develo...

June PSD Files

Sorry folks on the small PSD file count this month ;o;. Lot of the other pics are still in the works, so they probably won't be dropping till they are done next month.

End of Month Update July 23'

And wow the year is now half way over! It is moving by way too quickly for my taste this year haha. But I've been at least staying productive with stuff! Chipping away at the comic with every day! Also as a side thing I added a bit of a more detailed sketch from my lunch doodle sessions! Trapping the BF is always a fun past time~

Updates:

TeamWipe: Lots of progress in on this so far! Working on Highlights for Bod at the moment using some of the latex studies I've ...

Bod Pride 23' Hi Res

Bod Pride 23'

Heeey happy pride everyone! Been wanting to do an updated Pride pic for myself and Bod for a few years now, and figured this was a good year to do so! Been quite a few changes since the last one, with the addition of the Nonbinary and trans flag this year! Starting to get a whole lot of color on this Dragon!

For the last few years, probably most have seen that i've been going by Nonbinary pronouns for a bit. Outside of some small circles tho I haven't really talked too much about my rea...

Hand Studies June

Spent some time this week working on some hand studies over my lunches! Ended it with a final speed paint of one of the studies to play around with some Void Suit lore :3!  Seems Bod has a few tricks up those skin tight sleeves XD.

In terms of the biggest things I picked up from it here are some tidbits!

-Forms matter a ton! Getting the general massed for the palms and base of the thumb really helps direct the forms.

-Can be too easy to get proportions off on it. I'm pr...

Mid Month Update June 23'

Alrighty got some updates for you all! Been working through the next comic page for most of the month so far! Also working on the side on a Pride pic for June along with a bit of a trade! Gonna be a bit slow going as most of these still have a bit of work, but so far I'm really liking how they are looking!

Team Wipe: Glad to finally be done with the flats on this! Been working on the values and the background over the last few weeks, expecting to be done with those hope...

Junk Scrap Bod

Scrap, junk, odds n ends. All the trinkets of the old world can be carried by the Living Vault.

Finished up my first pic playing around with a traditional inking nib! Been playing with a lot of different traditional stuff on my lunch breaks to experiment! Takes a bit of getting use to, but is overall pretty rad to play with :3!!

Pride Pic WIP

Heyo happy pride month everyone! Working on a new updated pride pic for myself, and trying out a bit of a more dynamic pose! Needs some cleanup and tweaks, but figured the WIP would be fun to post :3!!

Latex Study and notes

Trying to see about getting back in the habit of doing at least one digital study a week! Started off by doing a bit of a breakdown on Latex and it's reflections before doing a painting of said reference. Was really handy so I figured I'd leave a post on here with it all!

As some general tidbits:

-Bounce lighting still gets picked up in the suit, but is usually a much reduced value compared to the ground value. Can really see this on the hips and butt of the reference. Tends to ge...

End of Month Update May!

Heyo it's the end of May! Got a lot of fun things finished up this month, and excited for the work coming about in June! Diving head on into comic work again and already have a pretty good start this week. My current goal is to see about knocking out 1 and a half pages each month if I can manage it :3! 

As mentioned on a few other posts, the Print tier is going to be closed down as of end of day today. May will be the final prints getting sent out which it the Bowser pic!

Now I don't know about you, but some of that goop from the piranha plants in Mario Sunshine really looked appealing. Getting pumped up with it also seems quite appealing for a certain Koopa....

Roll for Dodge

In general Bod tries to not rely on the suit when it comes to defense. Although it can absorb a lot of projectiles, there are just as many things that can bypass it. Better to never give the attack a chance to land!

Been wanting to work on some dynamic poses lately! I like to think that Bod has every ounce of flexibility and balance that I don't possess in real life X3!

Amongst the Melons

Did some giftart for OldPapasoul over on twitter (https://twitter.com/OldPapaSoul)! They had done some amazing mpreg art of Bod earlier in the month, and I had really wanted to send some art back their way for it :3!!

That little water backpack of Mario's really has it's uses. Especially when said uses involve inflating a certain Koopa king :3c!

Mid Month Update May!

And back from con! Had a blast out at FWA this last week, got to see a bunch of familiar faces and some new ones also!! Overall had way too much fun and doodled up quite a bit! Need to transfer over my photos from the con, so i'll be posting a few more things over the week once I get them transfered over!

So now with con done, it's time to hop back into art mode! Got a good chunk of progress done on the print pic this month, and a bit in on a side pic also! Will be continuing work on th...

Last month of the print tier

Heya everyone, so I had mentioned in the end of month update for April that May will be the last month of the print tier. Been sort of thinking on it for a few months now and I'm deciding to retire the print tier. I'm sure more than a few folks can tell, but the team wipe comic has almost completely stalled out over the last few months. Going forward I'm going to be updating and switching the tier to just a top supporter tier with a few tweaks (looking at adding a constant store discount to t...

Bod figure studies & Tall meme!

Spent a bit of time doing some figure studies yesterday that I modified into Bod! I've always found that adding your characters into poses like that can really make the studies a lot more fun!

In addition there is a little height meme going around at the moment that I did a quick scribble for! Please forgive the measurement scale on it, I was only looking at the top and didn't realize it stopped at 140 cm XD.

And April comes to a close! Had a lot of things finally get wrapped up this month! As we head into May, I've got some big stuff planned and a few changes coming about for Patreon.

Secondly for patreon, May is going to be the final print month at this time. Will make a follow up post going into some more details, but the print tier is going to be ge...
