Hardcover 2025 colour progress

The organiser of hardcover said it was ok to share our works to closed communities like patreon as long as "...you don’t have a crazy amount of followers...", and I don't think you folks are crazy, so here's like maybe 7 hours of colouring work on this damn space ship.

I didn't ever share the full piece I made for hardcover 2024 here, so...

Hardcover 2025 sketch update

I have been hard at work on this sketch, and fleshed out the last 2/3rds of the ship yesterday. All I have left is to fix some of the geometry here and there, and sketch the three or so crewmembers spacewalking outside the ship, then on to inking, which I'm sure will take at least 1-2 days.

What's your favourite mini-scene?

I don't ...

Hardcover 2025 last-minute sketch

My art slump hit at a bad point, and I hadn't thought up anything to submit to hardcover2025 (theme: retro), but then last week I was suddenly inspired by the idea of a cool cutaway with lots of little sexes going on inside (like quetz's classics), so I drew this atom-punk spaceship. Weird fish eye perspective, maybe I should have pushed it furt...

Dunmeshi lewd comic files

I just stuck these files on my gumroad ahead of posting this comic publically, so I thought I'd add them here too for you folks. It actually prints up pretty nice at 600dpi in black and white. I might get some A3 paper and experiment with printing it as a little booklet. Oh, and I need a guilotine...

Art gal kneeling sketch

A fun warmdown after a hard day where I powered thru a bunch of attempted comic inking. I miss these guys, I might draw myself some emotionally soothing sweet sexy stuff w them.

I also spent a bunch of today thumbing out an extremely rough and self-indulgent sex scene with Wells, Brooke, and the Unnamed New Character. It would need a bit o...

Flower crowns

I don't often do bsp work w traditional media, but I was on a long train trip the other day and my friend suggested I draw these two making flower crowns so I did

More sketchy photo studies

More of this kinda thing! Had a really unfocused day and in not entirely happy with these, but they’re studies so it turning out good isn’t the only point. I’m trying to have the same attitude with the dunmeshi fan lewd comic, I feel like I didn’t particularly improve upon the sketch version with the inking and toning process, but I none...

Photo sketchy color study

Here's a photo study I did as a break from b&w inking for the dunmeshi comic. Trying to think about that sorta false/exagerated colour I see people doing. ref

Dungeon Meshi lewd comic (5 pages)

I finished a pass on this! It was a fascinating process. I have some panels and expressions I'm really pleased with, and I learned a lot studying Ryoko Kui's extremly powerful art, but I neglected to study her backgrounds as closely, and I am not entirely happy with how the art pairs with the panelling (I just used my default mostly western-insp...

DunMeshi comic p1 render test

Here is how the first page of this silly fancomic turned out. I tried to study Ryoko Kui's style, and I think I got a lot of aspects very close, but there's a fundamental layer I'm missing (mostly about head/face structure, and stroke selection for inking). Throughout my draft there's all these head shapes and faces that are just a...

Dungeon Meshi comic

Hello, I could have sworn I made a post about this earlier today, but apparently I wrote the whole thing out and then forgot to finalise posting it, and then I guess refreshed the page and lost the draft??

Anyway, as I have mentioned on a few platforms, I was reading Dungeon Meshi and I was possessed by the spirit of size_difference to dra...

Photo study sketchy

I had a really hilarious day where I spent like 6-10 waking hours trying to work out what I needed psychologically or physiologically to get drawing (caffiene? exercise? more rest? food? snacks? social contact? sunlight? a treat?), finally sat down and sketched this for about half an hour, and then I was done for the day. Can't win 'em all

More studies

Sketching sketching sketching

Wells and Brooke anal sketches

Some more studies, sketchy this time, with Wells and Brooke!

Studies

Studying some lewd images. First one is referencing a pic with colour sampling, second one is referencing a pic using a colour palette I put together (from that glowwy mushroom pic). Different kinds of study! Feels good to mess around w sketchy lewd stuff

Interrupted Sketch Pass (full)

Sketch pass is done! I added some value contrast here and there to help some of the panels read better. I think a few panels in the early pages could use a little more work, but I am going to leave it there for a little bit, and take a break to do some other stuff. Maybe do some painty sketchy stuff? Maybe some fanart or gift art? I dunno, somet...

Interrupted p17-20

Four more pages! no changes to older pages at this point, so I'm just going to link to 1-16 here if you're not caught up (just like i said i wouldn't do in the last post. I am full of whimsy I guess).

I've been really focussed on sketching t...

Interrupted p1-16

Four new pages! Uploading the whole lot again because linking between different posts of batches of four sounds super annoying for both me and you folks. Plus I make tiny changes to earlier pages sometimes. Sketching this has been extremely enjoyable, I'm having a great time, I want to do it all day.

I think the sketch pass is pretty tight...

Tiers musing

I realised I've got access to tiers now patreon has discontinued the Lite™ plan and moved me to a Founders plan, so I've been musing about making some tiers. Not to gate content, but just like, fun lil prestige titles a la "bee citizen", "bee engineer", "bee scientist", "bee astronaut"— all my works would still go out to all paying supporter...

Interupted page 13 thumbs iteration

Being an artist is, in my opinion, a lot about moderating the force of perfectionism. It drives you to make better work, improve, create art at all, but unchecked it spirals into endless iteration and you never finish anything. At some point it has to be 'good enough', and part of the skill of art seems to me to be about placing 'good enough' at...

Interupted thumbs 1-24

I spent the last few days working on thumbs for this comic (while I wasn't busy having food poisoning). It's come in at 24 pages, and I think it's very cute and good, even though I sacrificed sexy times for some cute epilogue. Feels good to work with a longer arc. Sorry if they're somewhat illegible, that's a solo writer-artist process for you. ...

Assorted sketches

Some bits from the sketchbook!

Local Deity 2

She's still enjoying the SP.

Girls in undies sketches

Here's some cute girls in undies from my sketchbook, inc one colour study. I'm sorting out a few more sketches to share w you folks soonly

Interupted p 1-12

Three new pages! I thought that I'd just add them to the old post rather than make a new one, but when I changed my mind and discarded the edit, the old images were still deleted, so we're going back to plan A!

This comic is now as long as the other two, but as you can see we're not done. Maybe like 2/3rds done? I have three more pages thu...

Local Deity

Ur smalltime local deity is pleased w ur offering of pringles, boba, and a spare SP you had lying around

Strange Mushrooms

A quick sketch before work today. I think the textured brushes remind me of this particular kind of storybook style, which was unintentional

It's very tricky to render the difference between cast light and light coming from within a body. I've seen some really good art of internal glow, but I haven't worked out the knack yet. Perhaps I wil...

Diagnostics cleanup

I cleaned up this one!

Matching elves diagram

While I was drawing these, I was thinking about the centreline tattoo/magic line thing. I thought, "what happens when it reaches a centreline orifice?" It might just stop, but if it went in, then what would the result be? As you may or may not be aware, humans (and many animals) have a 'through-gut" which means we're effectively a donut. If the ...

Matching elves 7

One more of these. How does she fit that in there? It must be ~magic~
