Progress on Silica being "slimed" x3

A lot of WIPs today.
This commission has proven to be quite tough do to the pose and specifications for it. "All fours" is one thing "but upside down" is another entirely XD
I decided to sketch it inverted and hoped that when I flipped the resulting sketch upside down, it looked like I expected it to look... but...

Elesis.

Red hot ponytail girl Elesis is finally done! :D
I had a lot of fun with this one. Despite the faster coloring
and plainer shading, there were a lot of details that couldn't
be done with just hard shades, so I experimented and learned
new stuff x3
This is mainly safe but adding a bit of cleavage doesn't hurt. Hope you don't mind, ehehehe :3
In any case hope you guys like it. I'm ...

Adult Neptune dakimakura (Side B)

Yahallo~ :3
Sorry for the long delay, guys.
This last weekend was busy and my stress piled up too, resulting in sleep deprivation.
No worries tho, I'm all better now and I'm finally done with this Nep daki.
Surely one of the most elaborate I've done so far. x3
Little details such as the clothes fragments and the outlines of the corroded clothing due to damage, were a bit time consum...

It's just that the instructions for this daki were so incredibly specific and complex, down to the minute details xD

Mahoro Dakimakura.

Hello guys!
And sorry for the lack of updates this past week. :(
This is an old favor I owed and felt it was rude to postpone it any longer.
So I decided to crunch it and get back to schedule afterwards.
This is a 1 side dakimakura (Meaning there is no side B) of Mahoro,
an android maid from an obscure manga/anime from 2006.
Gotta admit that the retro style of the mangaka is not...

Adult Neptune Dakimakura (Side A)

Phew~
This side is finally done! :D
As I told you in a previous WIP post, I decided to use both CSP and SAI to do this artwork (and likely future artworks as well.)
The improvement on line art is clear as day. CSP Linework brushes are of superior quality compared to SAI's, however SAI it's still the best option for coloring, so I'll be using both in tandem. :3
What else can I say, It's...

Yet more progress on Adult Nep + update

Dear lord. I was studying some of my fav artists on pixiv's SKETCH (Japan's equivalent of Picarto) and decided to try CSP again, since they use it a lot.  
Boy the CSP brushes are amazing. My line art looks far cleaner and more defined. x3 I'll be using CSP for line art from now on~
(Coloring will still be done with SAI since it's still easier and more comfortable for me.)

Compa.

Here's the results of the new style I've been working on :D
It's basically a mixture of solid-black outlines, hard-shading and flat glows.Faded edges are dissolved, not blur or blend ever used. x3
I fell in love with simple styles after watching Ixy and Iwasi's work, so I decided to try my hand at a minimalist style~
I'm extremely pleased with the results and the time economy is unquestio...

News update~

Hello cherished benefactors <3
I'm currently experimenting on a new style, so this month's chef recommendation will feature it.
As for how it looks; think  Iwasi, Kabuya and Ixy had a foursome with me x3
If you know them, you'll know that this is a style based on output and simplicity. I've been meaning to try it for the longest time.
So this month's chef's recommendation will...

There we go! Finally Mia is done :D
This pose finally got the justice it deserved ; _ ;
I worked quite a bit on this piece to ensure anatomy correctness. You wouldn't believe how many artists use this pose only to be deceived by how the perspective distorts proportions. On paper, it looks like everything is the same size, but in reality, legs and pelvis should look a bit bigger while the bac...
