"Cosmic Connections" Page: Living Teddy Bear

     As often happens, this is not what I'd intended to post...nor is it in the form in which I'd intended to post it. A new stray cat has moved in under our house (again, as often happens), and after the local toms got at her while she was in heat, we had to get her spayed immediately. For various reasons, it cost me es...

"Cosmic Connections" Page: Dino Alien

      If you read the other post, you know that my internet keeps going out, so I have to make this quick. This is another "Cosmic Connections" page; I'm sure you recognize part of it. I wanted to do a reptilian alien, but not the standard version, so I went with a dinosaur. When I was a kid, my favorite dinosaur wa...

"Charli Rises", a Cheesecake of Horror Pinup Sketch

     So again, is she a ghoul? Is she a vampire? Who knows. All I know for sure is, my internet keeps going out, so I have to keep this short or risk having this auto-post with the text cut-off mid-sentence. So enjoy greeting the day with Charli!

A Redheaded Pudgie has a Turn

     I hope this piece looks okay; the only scan I have is really rough, so it took a lot of digital cleanup and repair. If you read today's other post, you know what shape my wrist is in, and I suck at typing with just my left hand, so I'm not going to say a lot about this one, except that I love how slippery she looks....

Boneyard: "The Tick" pg.2

     I got a late start on this page, then everything that could go wrong, did. Even my font files got corrupted, so I had to go find them online, download them, try to remember how to install them...  I had to ink at well past my comfortable speed, and still barely got it done in time. I didn't even have time for e...

Sexy Cat Alien: Cosmic Connections Page

     This, obviously, is another page from "Cosmic Connections", the adult-personals-for- aliens short that never saw print (sans text). This is one is one of my favorites: the blue cat alien from last time is the cutest, while this one is the sexiest. Mostly because of the face. I don't know how many here are ancient en...

Charli Lifts Off

     I lost most of last week to non-art-related business-- housework, yardwork (pants tucked into socks, and covered in tick-killing bug spray), and dealing with Social Security nonsense (the security at their office is insane; perhaps this is the downside of public shooters...?), so I only had time to do this ...

Pudgie has "Digital" Fun

     One of the nice things about being a pudgie is, you don't have to have well-endowed friends to be a size queen; you just need a friendly human.

     One of the things I liked about doing the pudgies series was that I often did them in pastels, which I love. I don't usually work in past...

Boneyard Short, "The Tick", pg. 1

     A few weeks back, I felt an itch on my leg and discovered the bite in the attached photo (warning: it's kinda gross). At first I thought it was a spider bite, but after a few days it got worse, so I thought I should do some research. I discovered two things: 1) Spider bites are disgusting to look at, and B) It wasn'...

Li'l Devil Girl (Cheesecake of Horror)

      Okay, I am officially losing it. Gray matter leaking out my ears. I had planned to post this a few weeks ago, and I was positive that I had. But unless I posted it and somehow deleted it, I'm remembering wrong.  Think about that: I can understand forgetting that I'd done some-thing, but remembering doing ...

Not What I'd Planned to Post, but...

     Mid-week, I abandoned what I was originally going to post today (for reasons I'll go into later), and switched to something else. I wanted to do a short about something that recently happened to me, but showing how it would have gone down if it had happened to Paris. But that meant writing, storyboarding, penciling,...

Am I Getting Into NFTs?!!

     Of course I am! Why wouldn't I? There's money to be made! The attached image will be the first, fully authorized Richard Moore NFT. Bidding will start at $1000, and it will come with all the standard features of a non-fungible token: zero security (in fact, they are very easy to steal), no intrinsic worth, nearly im...

Gillwoman "Cheesecake of Horror" Sketch

      Here's another Cheesecake of Horror sketch (again, on Arches 140# hot press watercolor paper), a cute swamp creature in her native habitat. I really like the whole floating underwater thing, and I'm looking forward to painting the water. I thought I'd repost the sketch page from awhile back, showing h...

The Princess Enjoying Nature

     It's been awhile since we've seen M'Lady, so I thought we'd check in and see what she's been up to. I guess I should've known.  (Seriously, of all people, I should have known.) What I wonder about this situation is: How long was the jester laying there like that? Was he casting a wide net, or did he sp...

"Forgot Her Hat", Pinup Painting Sketch

     Here's a sketch, on watercolor paper, of a pinup I'm planning for the Cheesecake of Horror series. I've started blocking in the clouds just as value masses, to work out the composition, but when it comes time to paint, I will actually lift off most of the graphite with a kneaded eraser, because paint over p...

Pudgie Pinup

     I think I shared one of these before. Pudgies are basically plump, nympho pixies. I don't know why, but I get a kick out of drawing their horny little antics. Simple joy in fleshly acts, and they're always so happy! This one is colored pencil over watercolor, for anyone interested.

Hellboy Commission

     I'm not a big fan of artists drawing characters closely associated with one particular artist, especially its creator. They just never look right. (I've seen versions of my characters from other artists so far off the mark that I almost didn't recognize them. Then again, I've seen a few that honored the "feel" of my...

Far West: "Under Covers" Page 3

    Here we have the first adult page in the Far West short. If you look at the transitions as the story unfolds, you'll notice how I've structured them so that the adult pages can be included or not, and the story still makes sense. Of course, this is now pointless, as there is probably zero percent chance that this...

Far West: "Under Covers" pg. 2 Completed Pencils

     I shared this page at an earlier stage, and with just the penciled-in dialogue. I know I said I wouldn't be sharing advance looks at pages with visible dialogue, but you probably squinted and cursed your way through my chicken scratch when the previous version of the page appeared, so I figured what the hell. <...

Nessie Pinup

     Here we have another pinup of Nessie that I could have sworn I posted here already. This was a commission, one of several for the same person, I believe. I went with gray tones, of course, to minimize any possible suckage. I do like the naturalness of the piece: Nessie, by the water, essentially in her native habita...

Fairycake Pinup

     Almost did it again! I was working away on the next Far West page, with my cats bugging me to go to bed, when I happened to remember that my posts were going live shortly with no text. But I remembered! 

     As the title suggests, this is a piece intended for Fairyca...
