The first two pages of design roughs might be familiar if you're on the $5 tier or higher, as I posted 'em Wednesday for the DISTRESSED DAMSELS feature. Last weekend I drew a two-page story fragment featuring a winsome half-orc lass bedamseled by a hostile Dryad Druid, for a DiD commission request that ultimately wen...

This week, I'm interrupting the ongoing serialization of the Dirty Pair Pint-Size(d) Ninja Platoon story in favor of posting some recent commissioned damsel-in-distress pages that may have spun themselves off into a completely different project. Huzzah!
Anyhoo, I had an outstanding DiD commission from a long-time client essentially involving, well, "some...

Too tired right now to go into much detail on these pieces, but here a bunch of Clip Studio Paint sketch sets based on art requests from various Patron tiers, along with a bonus few life drawings tossed in. I'd hoped to crank out a few more sets based on the last rounds of Patron suggestions, but I just didn't have the energy.

Behold, for the second Friday in a row, some vintage Dirty Pair con sketches from the year 2000 or so. I drew dozens upon dozens—if not possibly hundreds—of Kei and Yuri commissions during this era, so you can expect to see many more such "vintage sketch dumps" down the road.

Behold, the first installment of a fairly lengthy and extremely goofy commissioned story from the early 2000s, featuring a suspiciously bondage-prone—yet still plucky and defiant!—iteration of Dirty Pair's Kei and Yuri unsuccessfully battling "the Pint-Size(d) Ninja Platoon."
You might recall from earlier con sketches posted here that the Pint-Size(d...

Okay, "The Rando's Cornucopia" is a rather goofy name for a new Patreon feature, but (IMHO) it still beats calling this post "ODDS & ENDS, pt.1."

Taking a break from commission-story serialization to post a bunch of vintage con sketches from the turn of the millennium, all of 'em featuring Kei and/or Yuri distressed by superagent Shasti from the miniseries Dirty Pair: Dangerous Acquantances (and a cameo in Run from the Future, too).
