July 16 Poll Results

Hi everyone.

Some polls closed yesterday so I wanted to post the results.

First is the explicit artwork poll. I asked if you wanted to see more explicit/hentai artwork. I had a feeling the answer would be positive, but I needed to hear it from you. And yes, the response was positive, so now I have a little more confidence to make hen...

July 15 Update and Previews

Happy Friday everyone!

Here's some art previews and updates for today.

First the art previews. I asked the Deluxe tier two weeks ago to choose some original fantasy characters to draw. They chose a goblin with big hips, a curvy demon, and an orc with huge tits. That's a lot for 1 week, so I sketched the goblin and demon and chose to ...

1. Last day to vote in the fan art poll: https://www.patreon.com/posts/68804095

2. I updated the patreon tier descriptions to reflect the addition of animations to the Deluxe tier. I also changed the wordin...

Survey: Art Tips

Hi everyone.

I have another survey question.

Do you like the art tips/notes I do?

They don't get much attention online and I feel like they're becoming a weekly chore now. I think I would rather create a new tier that includes quick feedback on artworks for artists (through the discord). I'd like your opinion if you have one. 2022-07-14 21:55:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Cat Animation

Hi everyone,

Here's the new animation. It's Ankha, as she is in-game and how NSFW artists see her. I hope you like it. It was fun to make, especially animating the last bounce of her boobs and thighs near the end. I'm pretty happy with the simply animated background too.

From now on, animations will be 4-week early access for the Del...

July 12 Update

Hi Everyone,

Just a few updates today.

2. Fan art poll clos...

Survey: Explicit Artwork

Hi everyone. I have a question.

Would you like to see more explicit/hentai artwork from me?

I've drawn a lot of full nudity, but I haven't drawn much explicit stuff in a while. I'm a NSFW artist, but I get nervous thinking that if I make too much hentai stuff you won't like it. I polled you last month on what you'd like too see from ...

Art Notes: Gesture I

Hi everyone,

Here's some stuff on Gesture. Figuring out the gesture of a drawing is usually the first step in my drawing processes. Gesture is the foundation of an artwork, details are secondary to gesture.

As always, feel free to ask questions or suggest another subject for art tips/notes.

Thanks again!

Survey: Poll Length

Hi everyone,

This is a survey poll to get your opinion on the length of the poll voting period.

I do 1 week to give people time to vote as I know not everyone checks the patreon everyday, but I've noticed a vast majority of the votes come in within a few days. So I'm wondering if 1 week is too long. If the polls were shorter, there c...

July 09 Update Deluxe Poll Result

Hi Everyone,

The Deluxe poll ended yesterday, so here are the results:

We ended up with a three-way tie. On the poll I said I would only do one fully rendered painting, but that I would make it more detailed and elaborate that the usual pain...

Hi everyone!

Here's this week's set of artworks.

Promo Art: CriKai 5th Art-iversary Hi-Res

Hi everyone,

Here's a promotional artwork I've made for my 5th Art-iversary (in Hi-Res). Five years ago, I bought a cheap tablet and started making and posting artwork. I've come a long way, but I'm not done yet.

2-5: Tatas or tacos? Ivy serving up some carne asada tacos. Personally, I like my carne asada tacos with just chopped cilantro and onion, a little salsa verde, and a little lime juice, but on these I added a lot more (guacamole, sour cream, and tomatoes) to add some color to the...

Gravitational Attraction Teaser

Hi Everyone,

Here's a little teaser for the comic I want to make. The title I've chosen is: Gravitational Attraction. It'll be a short love story featuring Ivy and will have nsfw/hentai elements.

I'll be making more pages to fill out what I am calling "Chapter 0." I'll be going at my own pace in the beginning, but after I make/plan a...

Art Tip: Sunlight

Hi everyone,

Another art tip to give a little more details on sunlight conditions, with my wet t-shirt Poste as an example. I was really satisfied with the lighting on this one and thought it was a good example of capturing a warm sunlight. I hope this helps you paint some great sunny scenes.

As always, feel free to ask questions or ...

Ivy Beach Walk Animation

Hi Everyone,

So, I got distracted from working on the comic page because I got carried away working on this. This is a walk animation I made for fun, still just practicing and getting used to the animation tools. Now that this is done, I can focus on the comic page. Once again, my goal is to have the comic teaser page ready within the next...

Happy Saturday everyone,
