Free at last!

As of late Friday morning, my animations and the current phase of this contract are DONE!  The next phase may not start for at least a month, but there are other contracts lined up, one which might be starting soon.  For this weekend, though, my time is my own!

Patriotic Squish

I'm unlikely to have this shaded by tomorrow, but a WIP is better than nothing!

July status update

One of my first thoughts this morning - for this 'squish' pinup, I should give Daisy's bikini a stars & stripes pattern, to celebrate the 4th of July!  But I'd need to finish that pinup tonight. The nude version is inked and has its base colors, so all that's left is the shading and the bikini version.

But I have a character rig to build...

Cast your votes!

I may be short on ideas at the moment, but thankfully you folks aren't!

Tiddy Totem Pole

Finally finished!

Now if I can get the 'squish' pinup finished today, I can get the high-res packs posted...

Suggestion time!

I'm in crunch mode this week, which could become panic mode as we get closer to Friday. Yay, deadlines! The thing I'm animating has been taxing, tomsay the least. I've been so wrapped up in how to animate this thing, that I haven't had room to think about much else. Specifically, I have no Daisy ideas that aren't old or comics. So I'd say it's ti...

Status updates

Updated - Getting closer!

----

Quick version - I'm working on the totem pole pic when I can. If I get at least 2 of my animations done today, then maybe I'll be back on track and can afford to spend time on pinups this weekend.

There's a frustrating process I go through, whenever I've spent too much time not animating. The first coupl...

Summer Squish

One down!

Now if I can get ONE day where nothing else interferes with my streaming time, so I can get this and the totem pole inked & colored...

Poll Results & updates

We have our winners! Now between these and the totem pic, it's looking like anything I'm going to draw or color is going to have to be this weekend...

As I type this, I'm scheduled to rig two more characters for this contract, after which I'll be animating the two I just finished the other day.  Then after that I'll have to more to rig and t...

Daisy pinups - round 2

I still haven't decided if I want to do pinups or gag images this month, or even get started on the long-overdue Candice comic...  if pinups, the question then is which ones?

A little too casual - Monique ver.

...or just casual enough?

Tiddy Totem Pole wip 2

Getting this one done by the 6th is looking more unlikely, for a few reasons - work, realtors bring people in to look at the house, the roof getting replaced this week, the AC being broken in 90-degree weather...  and my own indecisiveness to top it all off.

Sometimes I feel like I need a "non-canon" sticker, so people don't read too much in...

Six

I should really try to get this one finished & colored by the sixth - it'll be the sixth day of the sixth month, and there be six tiddies!  

A quick-ish update on things - there might be a delay on last month's image packs.  My work schedule hasn't changed - by the time I finish one rig, I shave to hop onto the next!  How this ...

Sweet Chaos

After waiting a couple more weeks than I'd expected, I'm back on contract work this week.  For now it's mainly rigging, but in another week or two I should have some animation.  

 Last night I had enough of a break to finish the 'too casual' image, and the first chance I get I hope to also finish the Monique version. Planning ahead...

A little too casual

A little too casual (wip)

By my count this leaves one more left to draw!

Thanks & updates

I see Daisy has attracted some new patrons in the past few days.  If you're one of them, welcome!  And to everyone in general, I want to say thank you.  You're all bringing me closer to my being able to make a living doing something that actually makes me happy, which really I don't think I can ever thank you all enough for.  I ...

Animation Suggestions

So, assuming I have Daisy or mini-Rose ready to animate next week, what will I have either of them do?  As a warm-up, I could stick to a similar action list as with this contract - idle, fidget, celebrate, walk, run, jump...

Exploring the differences between Daisy & Rose could also be fun.  Daisy is more confident, while Rose is mor...

Getting Antsy

Good news - I may have time to work on  more pinups in the next week or so!   The bad news is it's for a reason that I was hoping would be a few months away...

Last week, I expected that I'd be starting on the next phase of my contract either by the end of the week, or the start of this one.  The client was happy with our work...

Recline wallpaper

Something for your desktop!

Recline

This one was overdue

Lounging

This feels especially appropriate, because in my area it's a scorcher outside today.

In the mirror

Heavy Lifting

One down!  Now hopefully I can get a couple more shaded before I'm pulled back into game work...

Yarg

Pinup Progress!

It's going to be a few days before the next phase of this contract starts, so now I have some time for pinups, and perhaps even Daisy's rig!  An earlier version of her rig will at least be helpful in figuring out the mirror poses...

A crazy month comes to a close

So, today is my first day off in 2 weeks. Last weekend I was stuck working on a pair of animations that I couldn't finish during the week... and what a stressful week that was! This past week, between addressing client feedback and moving to the next set of animations, there wasn't any time to rest. Now I need to enjoy some down-time. While the...

Poll Results

We have a winner!  And a few runner-ups!

Now the bad news - I'm working on a pair animations this weekend.  One is pretty easy and half-finished as I type this.  The other is one I'd roughed in the other day, but need to re-do to give it more personality.  It's gotta be done by Monday so the client can review the whole set, so...

So many options...

Hopefully I'll have time to refine a couple of these this weekend...  the question is, which ones?

Unfortunately, there's also a chance I might be working on my animations through the weekend.  If that's the case, I may do another poll next wee...

Scribbles

Something I'm trying to get back into the habit of, is drawing almost every day, even if it's just thumbnail sketches. I think there are at least a few here I may need to develop further. Getting back into animation for this contract has been... beyond difficult. Traumatic, even. "Shaking the cobwebs off" doesn't even begin to describe it. Ma...
