Commission for Kiru996 [WIP]

This may be one of my most interesting work files, just for the sheer need to repaint so many parts. 

As usual all the WIPs and original files in the attachment.

Commission for Kyru996

This commission had 4 variants plus a censored version. I've never handled so much work on a singole piece, and I ended up wasting a ton of work detailing covered parts.

Also, I tried to get back on painting over a greyscale study: it may be overkill for a simple painting technique, but I want to investigate this more.

Distractions [WIP]

Included in the extras, all the WIP steps, and two working files, one finished and one in the middle of the painting process, showing the original layer structure.

Distractions

I guess sometimes it's just hard to focus!

2021: Back to art

In the second half of 2020 I focused exclusively on game dev and stopped posting and charging on this patreon. For the first half of 2021 I'm going to do a 180 and return back to doing mostly art and art related projects. I took a long time to decide, but I wanted to be sure and not second guess myself.

So why back to art? The original game concept I was working on didn't work out: the ma...

That elusive PG rating [WIP]

Not much to add from the previous wip: I'm again experimenting with working from soft edges into hard edges, and also experimenting with other software other than clip (there was a bit of Paintstorm Studio here, I will likely return to this software in further pieces).

WIPs and the actual working file are included.

One caveat about this new working method is that Clips Studio forces...

That elusive PG rating

Commission for SummonTheElectorCounts (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/summontheelectorcounts)

In this commission I pretty much took what I learned from the previous and run with it. Also, I will slowly be co-opted as a scalie artist with all those commissions XD

Drackonthanri [WIP]

The biggest challenge with this commission was how to handle so many detail area (wings, arms and leg scales, and the two massive custom dragon bits), I decided to turn upside down my painting method by starting from a heavily blended figure, and then detail the hard edges of areas like the scales, cutting away my typical overwork. 

To do this I modded my usual brush to allow for fas...

Drackonthanri

Generally speaking I'm a pretty vanilla artist, but along the lines sometimes I want to challenge myself with something more unique, so there we go! Drackonthanri is also the most complex character I've ever painted, to the point I had to invent a new method of working to handle him.

This along with the previous painting are among the first I do after dropping the requirement of a backgro...

The Embrace [WIP]

In attachment: sketches and the final Clip file.

It's a big crazy how much i worked to get the body shapes just right. There is a bit of a story there with Zale's head: to get the angle just right I took the head of an anthro fox I sculpted in 3D and posed it in that exact angle, then proceed to use it as a reference for the volumes while dog-fying the facial features. Turns out Zale is a...

December commission openings [Full]

Hello, here's the commission preorder I promised in the previous update.

I can only take only 4 commissions at this time, and will deliver them between December 2020 and January 2021. In a week if slots are still open I'll have a public opening on Twitter for the remaining ones.

There are a few of differences between the pricing of this opening and going forward and the previous one...

Game Update & Stuff!

Hello! Here's the monthly update about the game project (and again, no charge this month because no fully playable demo is delivered).

First of all let's start with the bad: I really didn't like the tentative release I did last month (available on my discord channel). In order to deliver a full demo on time I crunched so hard all of September and October and ended up compromising so much ...

Unlocked Highlands sun-bathing (+variant) [WIP]

Included in attachment: thumbnails and the original working file.

Highlands sun-bathing (+variant)

A commission i took from @RodrigoJacoboS 

The second Covid lockdown started in Italy and I decided to mix the work I'm doing on the game with some traditional commission work to stabilize my economic situation.

The game project is taking a long time (especially because I'm taking very seriously the feedback on the first demo, and working to do deep changes to it), this choice m...

Work update

Hello! 

Here's the monthly update about the game project.

First and most obvious thing: I'm missing the deadline I set, so no Patreon charging for October. However the first release is almost complete, and a sneak-peek release will happen on my discord channel.

The demo, titled "The Lonely Beast" will be a tie in between the story of White Fangs and the one features in th...

September update

Hello!

Here's a work update for September. First, as I promised: there won't be any billing until I deliver the first demo of the game, so this month won't be charged.

Work is going great, you can see a roadmap here on https://trello.com/b/rIsIcDUd/project-golden-claw including a daily u...

Come Here! [WIP]

Included here: the original file, thumbnails, and the inked sketch.

I'm developing a new inking style to use with the rpg project, and you can see it at work on the last commissions I've been working on.

Come here!

A commission for @fizzy2

This is the last commission I needed to do before fully dedicating myself to the rpg project, and a quite neat one!

Updates, and announcing The Golden Claw

Hello! I'm writing this as I'm almost done with the commissions I owe (only one remains) to illustrate how this Patreon is going to roll in this second half of 2020.

Now that commissions are out I'm going to focus exclusively on the visual novel demo: with a tentative release date of October 2020. I plan to not charge on Patreon any month from now to the release of the demo, regar...
