Letta's Big Cookie Pinup

Hi everyone,

I've got this latest pinup of Letta done and I added a two alts. "Naked Apron Letta" was on the Deluxe poll this month. She didn't make the top choice but since I was already working on this I thought I might as well add an apron alt. The see-thru yoga pants alt is my favorite. I was able to do it using a few multiply layers a...

Ab Study

Hi everyone,

I studied some abs this week, mostly just focusing on the general shape and how they connect to the rib cage and pelvis.

Thanks!

MM Page 8 WIP

Hi everyone,

Here's an early look at this week's comic page. This will be the last page for this comic. Next week I'll make a cover.

On this page I have the linework for the first two panels done, but the last one still needs a clean up pass. I also need to add the final dialogue for the last two panels.

Thanks!

Poste Microkini Pinup

Hi everyone,

I just finished this pinup of Poste and decided to post it today. This is how I will be doing it from now: posting my finished artworks as soon as they're done instead of all at once on Saturdays. I will still be keeping the 4-week early access for patreon.

Anyway, this started as a me just doodling and studying. First I...

Pec and Shoulder Study

Hi everyone,

This week I decided to study the shoulder and pec region because I feel like connecting the shoulder to the pec and clavicle has been difficult for me. So I looked at some references and sketched them out.

I also need to practice the male figure more for use in future comics so I'll be studying that a lot more going forw...

MM Page 7 WIP

Hi everyone,

Here's a WIP of Page 7 for Mitsuki's Massage, which I'll be working on this week.

I would like to go back to making weekly comic pages and decided that I'd like to share a WIP of each page on Sundays with all Lite and higher tier members. Now that I'm doing this, the order of business is to finish this fan comic, which w...

Time for a new art survey.

Here's a survey where you can vote for all the artworks you liked this month. Multiple choice is turned on so make sure to vote for all the artworks you liked. The purpose of this poll is to gather some feedback on which drawings were well received, which helps me know what art to make in the f...

Art Tip: Head in Perspective

Hi everyone,

More notes on drawing the figure in perspective but focusing on the head this time. High and low angles are always difficult to learn but starting simple and working up helps the learning and drawing process.

Hope that helps!

October 23 Update

Hi everyone,

Not too much to update on today so here's the previews:

A new pinup of Letta

And the Tsunade and Hinata pinup for this month. 2023-10-23 23:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

October 2023 Artwork Week 3

Hi everyone,

Here's this week's Art Drop.

1. Previews.

2-3. Del x Poste. A page continuing the comic page from last month. Just like the last page, this was inspired by a fanfic written by Scrying (Thanks again!). I originally started with the last panel but then thought that it fits the fanfic well, so I decided to convert it ...

October 20 Update

Hi everyone,

I got a quick update today.

First just a reminder that I'll be changing up the patreon starting October 29th to focus on weekly comic pages and posting finished art pieces whenever they're done instead of the end of the week. Here's a summary of the changes, this will be the last time I'll post it, just wanted to make su...

Art Practice: Constructing the Figure in Perspective

Hi everyone.

Someone has been asking about figure construction so I made some examples drawings, both as warmups for myself and examples for constructing the figure. Drawing poses at difficult angles or in perspective is easier when you have a solid understanding of the figure constructed as basic shapes.

Thanks!

October 16 Update

Hi everyone,

Just a short update today.

First off, if you missed it: I'll be restructuring the patreon at the end of the month to work better with the schedule for a new job I'll be starting next year. Here's a summary of the changes:

October 2023 Artwork Week 2

Hi everyone,

Here's this week's art drop:

1. Previews.

2-3. DGDO Page 15. We're up to Page 15. I'm aiming to pick up the pace by going back to weekly pages next month. I want to get to the final scene and introduce some extra (familiar) characters to the comic.

4-5. Poste & Del Send Noods. A little pinup comic of Post...

October 13 Big Update

Hi everyone,

I have a bit of a big update today. I'll start with the big thing:

I will be taking on a new job starting next year, the work schedule will be more strict than my current job so I'll have to make some changes to how I run the patreon to give me more wiggle room during the transition. I made a chart to illustrate the chan...

Art Tip: Chest in Perspective

Hi everyone,

Here's a tip requested by a patron. Drawing the torso in perspective is hard, but practicing the basic shape (cube/block) in perspective is way easier. From there studying and practicing the full figure in perspective will be easier.

Hope that helps.

Thanks again!

Here's this week's art drop:

Art Study: Sketching Legs

Hi everyone,

Here's a little studying I did on legs and some notes on stuff I noticed and think is important to keep in mind. I think keeping the in/out movement of the curves helps make an appealing sketch.

Hope that helps. Thanks again!
