July Theme Suggestions - Let's shake things up!

Alright, so I forgot to start this about half a week ago when it would have been the full seven days prior to the start of July, but at least this way the poll can start in time with the new week Dx

However, I want to try something a little different this month. I already know what I want to do for you guys, BUT I want to give you some inf...

June Pic WIP: Evilcato D:

I was honestly not sure what direction to go with the next Avocato pic, but then I figured "Hey, this dude was the right hand of the big bad, so he probably had the authority (whether he would do something like that canonically or not be damned) to get creative about deciding if someone was worthy to meet the Lord Commander"...

and here we...

Quick update

My plan is to post a sketch wip of this month’s pic today, so look forward to that.

Also, I haven’t received the sketch requests for this month from some of my sketch tier patrons, so please let me know what you want and I’ll get started on those.

June Poll Winner!

Looks like Avocato is our winner this month! I’ll get a sketch together and update soon!

The suggestion period for next month will start during the last week of June (I will do my best to actually start it on time this time Dx)

June Theme Poll

Whoops, I lost track of time and forgot to start this yesterday D:

We had a bit of a consistent theme in all of the suggestions made for this month. There was a suggestion for another dakimakura, but I’m not sure it will actually end up being a front and back if chosen, for now.

Best of luck to all our contenders!

June theme suggestion reminder

I haven't had any suggestions for this month so I just want to make sure that everyone knows that now is the time to put out whatever ideas you want to see me draw this month. We‘ll make a poll of the suggestions and see what comes out on top.

I'd like to get at least two ideas before next Monday to start a poll on. However, I'm also fin...

Print-ready Ratchet Dakimakura file now available!

It may still be uploading to the folder at the time of this writing, but if you check the pinned folder, you'll find a new "Dakimakura" folder where there are two ABSURDELY hi-res files in it (55x155cm 300dpi).

From what I read, a typical daki is about 50cm x 150cm, so those files should allow for a little bleed in the print. I do not, how...

June Advertisement for Twitter and Sketch Tier Officially Updated!

Just showing what the next advert is going to look like.

Also, anyone who was on the sketchy sketch tier, starting this month onward, you are entitled to TWO character sketches (can be one image of two characters or separate images, your call)

As always, you can message me here or on Twitter to let me know what you want done. I've go...

May Dakimakura design completed (kinda)!

A little late, but I realized a little late in the game that bed sheets aren't among my strengths as an artist.

Also, I really wanna do a version with clothing, but that'll probably be an end of June sorta bonus.

Also also, I realize this might be a bit of an atypical background color for a daki, but I figured it would let him pop ou...

June Patreon pic + Daki progess + more!

Kinda in a rush atm, but I realize I forgot to start the June suggestions a week ago D:

So, feel free to go ahead and make your suggestions for this month, HOWEVER...

For the sake of keeping things fresh, Ratchet won't be accepted as a character for this month :U

Not that I don't like drawing R...

May pic WIP update (front + back)

Linearts coming along for the front and I think the back is about where I want it, I just need to see what little things I can do here or there to finish the render of his body.

I'll do the same for the front, then I'll come up with some simple bedsheet look for underneath him and call this project wrapped :U

May pic WIP (backside w/ color)

I thought I'd be showing a WIP of the front next, but I kinda got in a groove with this one, even dropped some color.

Still need add some little extras to his body stripes to match the faux fuzz of his ear stripes Tweak colors in some spots.

Then it will be on to shading/highlights for this part :U

May Pic WIP Update

Just showing some of the inking that's going on. Several areas are gonna needed the line width adjusted to look better, but step will come later.

I'll probably drop a WIP of the front next.

May Dakimakura WIP (front side)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand here's a look at the pose for the front.

Tho now I kinda feel like I need to make further tweaks to differentiate my designs from the ones I'm seeing from Tobbywolf and Anker the Fox on e621. I didn't realize how similar I had made certain parts

I'll keep you guys posted if I come up with something I like better.

Another May WIP (small adjustment)

Not a huge change, but I considered how it would look if he was arching his butt upward a bit more. Tail might have to more a little bit for more accurate placement on his back, but that's an easy adjustment.

May Dakimakura WIP (backside)

Sorry for the silence lately, I had a tooooooooooon of other crap that needed to be taken care of and luckily that's all done now.

The pillow option won out on the last poll, so here's a little look at what the back view is shaping into, tho I can't decide if I want a hand on his butt or resting his head on both arms. Also not sure if I sh...

May Patron Poll

Here’s the suggestions made for this months poll! 

Also, I’ll likely do future polls the same way and start the suggestion phase a week before the following month so that I have more time to work on whatever is chosen.

Monthly Theme: May Pin-up suggestions

Let’s try something slightly different for May.

tell me what character you want to see in a sexy pin-up style pic with some kinda alt version (like nude and undies version or something like that)

Oooooooorrrrr....

I draw the character in the format of a dakimakura pillow (front/back views)

so name your character choice ...

April's Patron Pic: Boys with Toys (final)

Aaaaaaaaand here we go! Background was kept simple, cuz... well I'm not a fan of doing them xD

But figured out that whatever fuck-machine than a piston-powered one. Threw in a box for the thing Ratchet's using, also some nanotech in case anyone needs to extra help recovering :U

Hope you all enjoy and thanks again for your support! Th...

More April WIP stuffs

Probably the last WIP before this is finished. All that's left is to actually draw the machine behind Ratchet, maybe a box for that egg things with some silly info on it, and some kind of simple background.

As always, the final image will also go in the hi-res folder, so feel free to grab that for yourself when it does^^

Enjoy^^

Another (times infinity) April WIP: The Reckoning

Last one for the night, I'm just having a lot of fun working in this xD

Got most of the flats set in place, tho I still need to start on the machine that Ratchet's experiencing the business-end of.

After that, its just a matter of lighting and we should be all done :3

Oh, also I'm assuming it's popped up in the folder, but thes...

Another-another April WIP :U

Seeing as how I posted that advert using the prev WIP shot, figured I should give you guys something more... substantial to look at x3

I'm also pretty sure neither of them walking away from this without the wobbles, if they can walk at all :U

Gonna try something new

I'm not gonna post a full WIP on twitter as I already promised I wouldn't, but I am gonna try out this little advert using snippets from it, figured I show you guys what it'll end up looking like when it goes up. I don't plan to do another one for this month's image.

I may do something like this for each new image as we go, see about entic...

Another April WIP

figured I'd show how Ratchet's face has shifted a little as I'm inking this.

I'm gonna try to have all the inking done today and then move on to color/shading soon after :U

WIP of April Pic

I'm thinking for the sake of ensuring that I don't fall behind, I'm gonna do these with lineart instead of lineless renders.

Enjoy^^

April Patreon Pic WIP - Boys with Toys

A big thanks to everyone who participated in this month's suggestion/poll. I was honestly having some difficulty figuring out a fun way to do this month's selection, but I think I came up with something everyone can enjoy.

I think things got a little competitive at some point. Rocket with his ruthless fuck machine, and Ratchet with some ki...

April Patron-Decided Pic Poll

Its that's time, a new poll to let peeps pic from the suggestions what they would like to see done for April as the pic made possible by you, the patrons!

You can vote multiple times, I believe that's how I did it last time and I think it worked out pretty well, so we'll keep that up.

I'll give you guys until 11:59pm on 4/14 to cast ...

Patreon Art: Atypical Massage

Finally managed to get this knocked out :U

Thanks everyone for being patient with me while this gets finished. Whatever the next pic is that's decided on by the suggestions/poll we have, it will be finished before the month is out.

As for the other potential image I made a WIP for, that one will get the same treatment at some point. ...

Another WIP for the Ravocato pic

Sorry for the delay, everyone. I've been feeling kinda under the weather and that's slowed me down considerably. All that's really left on this is to add some shading/highlights, but that is proving a bit difficult to execute.

I did the "for the future" dude on twitter thinking all I needed was some silly pic to get used to the new tablet,...
