So, how has the new year been treating you all?
I just looked at my art pile for December and it's a bit small so I'm adding a bit more before doing an update. At the very least finish all my Chrysalis ideas (3 design explorations, 1 clean and 1 lewd good princess Chrys, maybe one more scary lewd for good luck).
I plan on stream-co...

All because I had a wordplay stuck in my head: Kaiju Keijo

2016-12-19 09:58:42 +0000 UTC View PostHere we go, my work files.
I've been thinking about adjusting the rewards. I suck at previews because I tend to very little, but what I do have a lot of, are scraps.
Finished, mostly-finished, various-stages-of-finished pieces from the cutting-room floor, to show my thought process and struggles with a little commenta...

Welcome to the mature / adult tier trials!
I've found it necessary to seperate content if I want to try attract more DA patrons, who may not be too keen on my freaky deaky.
I find a little T&A to be de-stressing, heck knows I need to de-stress more often. I dabble at least a few pieces a month, half dozen or more if I'm feeling frisky, ...

AAAH IT'S HERE!
After so many speedbumps and potholes, here're the high-res packs, second bit of October and November. This is also the first try of seperating G from NSFW, so for this tier is the squeaky clean stuff.

2016-12-17 21:33:45 +0000 UTC View PostRewards are still a go, just that in the whole month I was gone, I accumulated a lot of linearts to color. Exacerbated by a limited usage of max 5 hours per day then the rest of the day for laptop to cool and settle.

Old blue's dead on arrival, gone back to the repair centre for another once over. This may delay me even more, maybe well into december. On the plus side, that means a massive update pile.

This is worrying, it's been over a week & still no word on repair status. Will have to call in the morning to check, hopefully techguy is just absentminded. If it's still being worked on, it'll bankrupt me, raising a $50 repair on my chip to swapping a brand new one at $70. Hopefully i get back to working condition before the month ends.<...

Yep, as I feared. The old lappy's exhaust vent was stuffed & consequent heating broke my chipset. It's fixable by a specialist but that'd take a few weeks. With care the repair might last me another year. Then I gotta get a new one. Doesn't seem worthwhile to register a fresh win7 install until I move on to the next.
Until I get lappy back, g...

I write to you here instead of posting to my gallery journals because as backers, you get priority. I'm typing this on my broken Ruvo tablet with a mouse, a painfully slow low-tech method which I don't use lightly. It's a wonder patreon even loads on this.

2016-11-09 09:26:58 +0000 UTC View PostYou may notice that my coloring has slid down a simpler path. I struggle to find a coloring compromise that doesn't look too flat while not interfering too much with my inking details.
I get fidgety when I don't detail enough, like I've squandered the art time, yet I cannot deny colors, like milkshake, bring all the kids to the yard.

As the title suggests, this is one part of October's art stuff, I have a few more but I have to locate them first. It has been particularly damp and I've been hunting for moldy spots to clean and plugging up all the ants' scurry-holes.

Bloodgrass Rovers is back in development and worldbuilding.
I am however stuck on how to present what is essentially chapter 1.
My first thought is to make it into a self-contained one-shot.
Exploring with inking and stylistics for Rovers.
This is also possibly the start of yet another utterly silly set, which I squarely blame Ash VS Evil Dead, that's airing now.
In AVSED the necronomicon has a silhouette image of Ash as the solution to deadite problems. I wonder if in other times of undead uprising, do they have their own ...

Holy crap that's a lot more files than last month. Hopefully this is not troublesome for all of you to download. I can host them in my Dropbox but as a basic user I got only 2 GB and I'd burn through it really quickly if I keep pace or do more. No muns to go pro subscription.

This new size limit makes it difficult to pack my PSDs efficiently.
Here are my workfiles for July, if there's any problem opening them do let me know. I'm also considering packing future files in RAR that compacts it a little tighter.
For this month's request, got a few ways to go about it.
Firstly, welcome new patrons and thank you for your support!
My attempt at a timely update was thwarted by not 1, not 2, but 4 failed mini USB cables. Affected no doubt by moisture levels in my room. Hopefully with the A/C finally cleaned out it'll hold for another year.
