Continuing the pause + viability of unlaunching

UPDATE 23.06.22: Yep, I'm gonna hit that Pause button again. Not getting much done fast enough to also tackle another artpack. even at my worst speed i should get quite a bunch done in another month so until then; stay frosty, roll on into the stream if you got time and we'll be back to regular in August

This took a while. outside of what few commissions I could manage, I've not actually colored all that much, so it has been struggle to finish Rhokzan and Cerberumom. I don't have a set coloring process, should really put more thought into that

Got a little dev done on TZ's hammer, a more detailed scaling to the last sketches. Gives a bette...

Today's magic word: blargh

This is technically an incomplete delivery, because I didn't finish Rhok'zan's cover, will add it in the next one, along with the fuller composition of Gargoylemom's screen wiping

Also got side-tracked by lovely lovely inking, Cafellatio is still in the cards, for next round

and with Cerber...

Coming in slightly dazed and confused, and a touch sleep deprived

Coulda dropped the packs earlier, had the right minimum, but I thought what's a few more after finding bliss in inking with a good pen

And this round there's a quasi-scrap. It's a finished inking, but considered a failure and will see version 2 follow-up

Pausing June

I don't know if I wrote it down, but I had resolved not to pause this year. welp, gonna have to break that resolution and pause for June.

I did not plan for getting really sick twice, effectively knocking my plans off course by about 5 weeks. I'm looking to reclaim that lost time to finish stuff, like the trades and still some old art debt...

lewd proj - fellatio cafe

This is an idea that was bandied about in the last stream.

There is / was this concept called the Fellatio Cafe, where one can get a coffee and lip service. Thought it could make for a fun lil group project, like the gloryhole idea but this is far more intimate and less anonymous

The base is undecided at the moment, standing might gi...

And for you, we have a small heap of scraps!

Doodling was much more forgiving to my diminished state, and I get to taste more original ideas as I move away from fanarting and fansmutting

Gold 2022-04

It's a little less paltry, these Renas I had put some base work into before I got sick. So i was confident in my lines and all that was left was mostly inking and clean-up. inking is a far less cerebral process than sketching

PS: I have discussed with traders about sharing my half with yall, and so far one has consented. So when it's done ...

Silver 2022-04

The abysmal amount is on me, I was juggling the overdue trades and stuff for the first half of the month, thought I had plenty of time afterwards for artpacks, then I fell ill.

Am still a bit sickly. Sure, I blew through the major symptoms, but now I'm at the mercy of smaller ones, like a persistent dry cough and most annoying, slight brai...

Can't stream today, got covid again

So both my old folks came back rather sickly on friday, dad tested positive yesterday, and I just tested myself after waking up with a scratchy throat. the second line is light, but it's there, if color saturation is any indicator then I'm probably of the milder case.

not super sick, just a little warm, a little lightheaded, ribs a lil ach...

Introspecting out loud

I see some new faces, hello and I hope you'll enjoy your stay

Took some time to think, and these are some of the thoughts I'd like to share, and maybe get some insight from the patrons' POV

One of the big things COVID taught me is I won't always have the luxury to sit down to art. My output dipped in 2019 for...

Rejoice! work files once more graces this tier!

Still a lil low on the zodiac bordello development, am stuck on exterior planning and basic landscape shape. 

gonna try a different approach, thinking it smarter to finalise madam and and mousey, then expand it outwards: like madam's office, mouse's villa, and maybe eventually they...

Coming in hot on this too, with something I'd like your thoughts on.

Silver 2022-03

aaand sliding in hot again. Yeah, this one's on me, much time was spent refamiliarizing myself with coloring.

Got a relatively quick-ish not-ugly coloring method I could live with though, so time was well wasted.

On the flip side, all my pens decided to simultaneously act up, all either hitting wet spots or just dry enough to give me...

Jade 2022-02

Not much development progress as I'd wanted, feeling alright about keeping up my weekly streaming. fewer sketches, but what few are more refined. less ugly on the eyes. there's also a bit of scraps

otherwise pickings has been lean. Was effectively out for almost half the month trying to recover from whatever was, and to a small degree stil...

Gold 2022-02

So this is a weird batch. was trying to fulfill my end of a trade, and I guess I wasn't fully lucid yet, I thought I had a good idea... thrice. learning a little bit from the previous incarnation, to the same pose, same thought process

An unshakeable stubbornness compelled me to keep retrying it, and I think I've reached a level enough get...

Coming in hot! or just a little bit warm

I did not think my flu would last as long as it did. Runny nose dried up only a few days ago, am still a bit phlegmmy, like there's a little gob in my throat that refuses to go away. still unsure if covid caused it, a spit test on the 4th day came back negative

So I was practically taken out f...

pack delays due to sinus

had to log onto my pc for this because Pat's app is shite and my phone can't handle the webpage and the millions of scripts it runs in the background

I'm currently sick with sinusitis, pretty sure not covid. I still breathe fine, aside from hacking up the occassional gob of phlegm, I can still taste my food and smell my 'wind oil'. no naus...

Lotsa stream doodles, trying to make a habit of it every weekend or lose my sense of time

Not a lot of PSD work files this time round, aside from bunnies I spent some coloring time with pencils. I rather enjoyed the process even if it was under pressure and time, been ages since I last use them, missed the feeling of beating toothy paper s...

Gold 2021.12 , 2022.01

So y'all know I struggle the most to fill this artpack, trying to think pretty pinups and stuff, how to fill out a single sheet of paper. Sometimes I don't want to draw a whole figure, I just wanna dabble in small things, and through the covid years of fuss and bother I completely forgot about combo sheets

put some together, tested out a f...

Oopla, here we go. Thank you for your patience and a belated happy new year

That was a wild start to the year, a mad rush to prep GDQ stuff, saw the schedule too late. Did what I could with spit, grit and fossilized Derwent pencils. Then the ratio of G : X got thrown outta whack and hurried to balance it out

Goodbye 2021, you were a ...

Status update #2: Go Double

I technically have enough stuff to deliver, but it leans heavily to clean art about 3:1

The clean art is kinda 2 month's worth; that leaves focusing purely on lewds to round out the pack

So sorry for the delay but it's still kinda hectic as the year closes out, so much requiring my attention all the sudden. 

Also not strea...

Status upd: slow & absolutely sharting myself

For this month the artpack will either be super-late, post xmas, or I will have to push it and double up for January. Will not be pausing for a break, I've already paused too much this year, lost too much financial stability

Many things have been demanding my attention when I discovered that Games Done Quick prize submission is open, and p...

Still not much progress on my Zodis, much as I try, I'm battling with also wanting to clear my to-draw reference folder, which I fall back on when head's empty and want something easy to do like fanarts

Thinking in too-big chunks, am a lil stunned by the enormity of it. Building an original world s hard.  Perhaps I should just start s...

This round might look a lot but it's padded out with some past lewds that I forgot to post

I don't remember if I've mentioned it in here before and there're newcomers since my last pause, so I'll do a refresher

Hey all, been a bit.

So I did ask for character suggestions to sop out my wet inks, there were good suggestions but they got overruled by my phone begging to free up some space. and surprisingly, I do have quite the amount of ink-thirsty refs

it also completely slipped my mind that I wanted to do homages to the olds with fanart of vi...

characters with lots of black

once again, got another batch of wet refills. anyone wanna suggest characters with lots of black i can sink the ink on?

don't need to be a black character, can also have chunks of dark clothing like Betty's jacket

And now for my next trick, another pause!

and this one has been planned in advance

My second vaccine shot is on Sept 30th, the general consensus is it might hit harder than the first shot, so I figure better to prepare for it. I'd probably feel like shit for a few days, a week, tops. So why pause?

I'm only considered fully vaxxed 14 days after the second dose, which will ope...

A few more ideas tasting, as usual.

Nothing to report on the Zodiac brothel, though I have spent much time thinking about it. Am steering towards a village-type environment, instead of a single building. Gardens, streams, little villas to get your jiggy in. It's a muc smaller scale than Zodihavoc, but still a head-grinder

Gold 2021-09

Last minute spurt of inspiration produced horror doggo lewds and rushed them in a week-ish. It was experimenty, fun, and doing beasts means I don't have to hold to typical beauty standards

Got something to bring up: Big projects for consistent deliverables

Remember the birthday ponies? Something like that,...
