Raccoon model WIP

WIP of the model I'm currently working on, a raccoon. The "fur" is just painted on right now, this is the texture that will sit on underneath the real fur to help hide sins.

Face is looking a bit iffy right now, I'll need to see how she looks once I get her fur on before I address it. Sometimes it just doesn't look right until it's done. Everything else I'm fairly happy with though, this is turning out to be a fairly solid model I think.

Lots of work left to do but she's at a ...

Monthly Painting Suggestions - October

Alright guys, it's spooky month. Gimme 'dem spooky ideas. And by spooky ideas I of course mean thinly veiled excuses to draw smut. :D

Monthly painting is up!

This month's winner was " A predator male is caught by deer/elk/caribou prey, bound up and dragged  back to camp to stand as the herd's rut-toy for the season! "

I couldn't post WIP stuff for obvious reasons, but the finished picture is up on FA now, I hope y'all like it!

The Fluffer - Pg. 29 Inks

Text has been left out as I was waiting for it to get looked over for potential improvements, but I couldn't wait to at least start on it due to time constraints. But I think you can tell what's going on here anyway! Coloured version is actually already finished and will be posted to FA shortly!

More experiments in sculpted fur

As some of you may remember, early on in my 3D modelling career I started without particle based fur for a variety of reasons- I just didn't think it looked all that great, and my computer couldn't handle it at the time anyway.

My computer can now handle it, and I have improved enough at styling particles to make the fur look alright so I switched over to it, but I still find myself a little frustrated with it. It leads to silly render times such that people with more reasonable comput...

The Fluffer - Pg. 28 Inks

Tried to change the camera angles up a bit here since it was getting a bit samey. As a result there's a lot of perspective stuff that I really didn't know how to draw, but I gave it a shot, heh.

This page just sort of serves the purpose of transitioning us into the next page, but the next few pages should be pretty interesting I think...

Monthly Painting - Vote!

Excited to see what you guys pick this month!

Also, characters answering questions is coming soon, promise! Just had a bunch of people throw money at me to do things all at once so I got a bit sidetracked. But I'll be doing a few more soon, promise!

Ask my characters questions!

This is something I've seen other artists do in the past, and it looks like a fun way to explore aspects of characters that otherwise might not pop up naturally. So I kind of want to give it a try myself! I've been thinking about this for a while but I knew I had one last character in the brainpan that needed squeezing out first, so now that she's out...

Do you have anything you're curious about that you'd like to ask any of my characters? Anything you're curious about that hasn't come...

The Fluffer - Pg. 27 Inks

Trying to get back to finishing this up... drawing is once again wonky here, I seem to struggle to get back into comic mode when I've been away from it for a while. I should probably just power through this thing to the finish at this point to prevent that being an issue.

Ah well, either way, here's the inks for this page!

Monthly Painting - Suggestions!

It's that time again! What would y'all like to see me paint this month? 

He's got fur now.

It's amazing how much adding fur to a model changes the look and feel. Coming along nicely now- still lots to do, lots of little fur areas to clean up, but here's sort of the baseline where the bulk of the work is done and the fiddling begins.

I wanted to see him with his fur on before I thought about tweaking his shape much more, but something about that head is still bugging me. I can't quite place what it is, but I suspect I'll be adjusting that some more before he's ready to print...

Just more updates on big burly wolf guy.

This is basically just becoming a daily blog on how much I've gotten done. Here's where we're at today! A lot of today just went into fixing up and finishing up the rigging. Like most things, 90% of the work takes 10% of the time, and then that last 10% takes 90% of the time... but he's basically done, rigging wise, barring a few tweaks. I'm not super pleased with how that smile looks, for example...

In other news, I'm starting to do some texturing work, and he's finally starting to...

Big Burly Wolf Guy can move!

He's gotten a few other upgrades since you last saw him, too...

He's still lacking colouring and texture work- and fur of course, so he still looks pretty strange and alien. It's amazing how much eyebrows add to a face, and how strange it can look without them. Rigging still needs some tweaking in a few areas too, hands are looking a little odd in this pose, and a few other things could be improved...

But, having the main rigging finished is a big milestone in any model...

Anyone like big burly wolf boys?

A little thing I'm working on. Started out as some experimental fiddling with stuff, but I like the result so much I think I'ma have to make a proper model out of this guy. Best canine model I've made so far I think, even in this early stage with lots of tweaking left to do!

He's currently a bit of a ken doll, but never fear, if I decide to turn him into a proper model he'll have all the necessary equipment.

Anyway, just wanted to share 'cause I like how he's looking so far. Le...

Monthly Painting INKS - WIP

Not sure there's a ton of point posting the inks since they're pretty similar looking to the digital sketch, but eh. If nothing else you can see what I ended up doing with the text. I didn't exactly use any specific suggestion, but took the flavor from a few of them and mixed them together in my own way. I think I got something that fits the tone I want- I hope y'all like it!

I've noticed lately that the inked version of my pictures have been looking a little disappointing compared to ...

August Monthly Painting - WIP

Looks like we've got a pretty clear winner in the votes, y'all wanted to see " A femboy, already caught on a guy's knot, is rewarded with an orgasm from his mistress. "

So here's what I came up with! I thought it would be fun if she was just barely touching him, letting the knot do most of the work but just giving him that tiniest push over the edge with a single finger.

Patreon can be a bit iffy when it comes to posting bondagey stuff, but I'm hoping the very very mild nature o...

Monthly Painting - Vote!

Hey guys! Hope you're holdin' up out there. Things have been a bit sparse here, but that's cause I've been working pretty hard- I hope you've been enjoying the flood of traditional art though!

Anyway, here's the ideas we've got this month. Some fun new ideas, some returning ideas that almost but didn't quite make the cut before, and some ideas that are a bit different from my usual work... it'll be interesting to see what you go with!

Monthly Painting Ideas - Quick reminder!

I'm always torn between not wanting to bother people and not wanting anyone to miss out, so I don't do this often, but this month I feel like it. :P Quick reminder- gonna put the poll up soon, so if you want to put forth a suggestion and haven't yet, make sure you get it in!

Gimme them suggestions!

What are we doing this month? Let's hear what you wanna see!

Monthly Painting YCH up on FA!

The winner of this month's vote was to see " A followup to last month’s piece, Sy and Ru at a kink party! ", and as is tradition at this point, when an idea demands a large group of people I turn it into a YCH! This time around I decided to make it available to everyone- we did a patreon specific YCH not long ago, and I feel like once in a while they should be available for the normies too, right? Am I being reasonable? I hope so! I'm just sorta making all this up as I go, hah.

Anyw...

Monthly Painting July - Vote!

Here we go!

The Fluffer - Pg. 26 Inks

I don't know why I keep doing this. I just wanted to make a quick porn comic but I can't seem to stop doing goofy shit. But this page concept amused me, so here we are.

Lil' fox doesn't care if it's a bit intense, he's seeing it through to the end!

The Fluffer - Pg. 25 Inks

The drawing on this page is particularly rough, one of the worse pages I think. I'll try and get my act together for future pages, but I hope it amuses you despite the wonk!

Should have the finished version up in a day or so!

Monthly Painting Suggestions - July

Alrighty, let's hear your ideas for this month! Whatcha want me to draw?

Parntner Swapping - Inks

That YCH I was running on FA has run it's course and I'm now in the process of working on it. I just got done inking, and since the content should be acceptable here, I'm postin' it! Have a nice high-res of the inks so you can see all my slips and mistakes that I have to fix while painting, hah. 

Awkward Animals - Wolf, Cat, Rainbow of Dragons

I realized you guys don't need to see me post every individual variation of mostly the same thing just with different species, so here's all the other ones I made today.

Got a few more species I wanna get through... raccoon probably, maybe a dog of some sort... I dunno, I'm open to ideas! I might also rework the cat, that one's a bit iffy. That said, there probably won't be a ton more of these in this exact pose, but I want to build up a nice base of choices to start with at least. I ...

Awkward Animals - Gryphon

Haven't decided for certain if I'm doing anything with these yet, but for now I'll at least play around with making a few more. Here's a gryphon!

Also a lil' update to the fox. Cleaned up and adjusted a few things, and added a white outline around the critter. I feel it helps them pop a lil'. Also gives them that stickerish look, and most of you seemed to be interested in these in sticker form.

Also thinking about how I'd go about making these a physical thing. Patreon can do it...

Crazy idea - Awkward Animals

So, hear me out. Patreon has been pimping it's merch services at me for a while now, and initially I just ignored it because it's not my kinda thing, y'know? I just wanna make the naughties for everyone.

But then an idea popped into my head that I actually kinda like- it's inspired by my FA icon, which is just a quick doodle of Ru being his awkward dorky self, 'cause that's basically how I feel all the time, hah. And I thought, if I can nail the look and make something cute enough, th...

A Walk in the Park

A rare example of a monthly painting I can post here without potential issues, so I'ma do so! Have a nice high-res version.

Hope y'all like it!

A Walk in the Park - Monthly Painting, June - Inks

That's a lengthy title.

It's a touch early, but I think we've got a pretty clear winner on this month, so I'm getting a start on it! Just Sy taking a simple walk in the park. Nothing unusual going on here at all, nope!
