this month we're back on schedule with everything and will have extra large sunstone and fine print updates. beyond that linda and i are wrapping up the final pass on the full book 1 of crimson so the united pdf will be released both here and on her patreon
while on crimson, this june we're launching a kickstarter for a printed edition as crimson is a wee bit spicier than general suns...
since the health issues derailed the month and i was unable to make the sunstone update, i will make the may update extra large but until then here are some previews on the work being done on the side.
one of the things i'm planning for the end of this year is a sunstone artbook. around 200 pages of illustrations done through the years but also updated because i can do a better job with ...
sorry for the quiet month so far. had a bad case of strep throat early this month, it kicked my ass for a while, thne yesterday picked up some virus again. so here i am drawing and painting under fever because fuck that it's technically resting if i'm sitting on my ass, drawing XD
unfortunately this derailed my scheduling a bit. you may have noticed that i've increased the amount of pag...
still don't know how to link that stuff properly to patreon but for now at least it's a partial success XD

i'll figure out the rest as we go. this is just the first of many printable statues...
been trying to figure out how to get the 3d printable files available here but so far no luck. i have two sets of presupported files for a large and small size but overall the two are a 6gb download. even something like a no support file would probably be over 2gb in size which is a problem as itchio has a 1gb size limit.
patreon is not an option because patreon has a 300 mb per file li...
so, this week i'll try and release the stl print files for ally and lisa statue. it has been thoroughly print tested and i did my own test paint. (not perfect as i didn't have an airbrush at the time but it will do for now) tested it on a large 1/4 scale and smaller 1/8 ish? both print extremely well in resin
beyond that bauphette is currently being prepped and will soon be print tes...
a bit shorter update due to some not serious but unpleasant health issues.
still a fun one :)
sorry for the slight delay. been working on making the updates larger but in all of my planning, february snuck up on me with it's 28 days... ugh.
anyhow back to work.
preorders are out for both punderworld 2 and fine print 3
those of you unaware, punderworld is a series made by my wife linda and tells the tale of hades and persephone alongside other characters such as alecto and charon. yes, the books are in full continuity with fine print and while you don't need to read one to understand the other, they do complete a picture
anyhow, here are...
while i'm finishing the fine print update

we did an early test just to check the details for bauphette print. planning on releasing ally and lisa printable stl in february, then bauphette in march.
also working on a cool and rather elaborate bust piece of alyssa dalkoff, the titular vampire queen from my novel, letters tot he vampire queen
anyhow, back to work, finishing the fine print update atm.
a wip sculpt of alyssa dalkoff the vampire queen from my novel i'm doing for a future cool bust piece, but then i realized icould do silly stuff with timeline sliders in zbrush :)

a bit of of oc fantasy thing. this is not going anywhere and is gonna remain one of my unexplored things, so take it for that it is, some oc fun. also another doublesized sunstone update coming in 3 days

okay so i've hit the new year running hehe. working on the new sunstone update. these will be beefy updates as i made a decision to make a full book during this year and keep doing so.
at the same time i'm almost done with the first main draft of my first novel, letters to the vampire queen. after that i'm doing a rewrite so i'm hoping february/ march it will be all done and ready for...
it may not be a perfect one but i'll do my best to make it a bit more of a fun one :)

and we're off. another complicated tale about complicated people begins anew
apologies pdf creation bugged out. fixed now!
me working on the new cover for book 1 of letters to the vampire queen and the previous one is now the book 2 cover
okay, i'll just do this sort of a wistful scene of lysandre writing a letter to alyssa, with the painting of alyssa and melanie behind her
hm... this is a bit too subtle. people might not get that the book is a wee bit gay.
okay, i'll sprinkle just a bit more...
okay, so fine print dropping tomorrow, then a surprising update of sunstone 9. listen i have a really strong inspiration for the opening of the volume and you don't fuck with the muse when she visits. then after that crimson
also coming this month letters tot he vampire queen update, and i'm actually finishing the first pass of the book 1 as well. then by sometime in feburary, march the...

this one is a bit odd as it's a 2 section update. one part is added pages near the start of the book and then the rest of it is at the end of ir XD
listen... i'm going somewhere with this! XD
crazy busy and crazy productive month so far. between comic work, illustrations, covers, novel and 3d i've been shockingly productive. attached where you'll see some fun wips from letters to the vampire queen to crimson cover, to 3d sculpts. and yes... that new ally and lisa piece will indeed have a furstone variant for those that want it because i'm that easily entertained. also attached are t...

a quick test for variant headswaps for the next overly ambitious statue XD they are still work in progress. also to anyone confused, the 3d printed ropes aren't there to carry any weight. all of the statue's weight will be carried by ally and lisa's legs combined with a peg joining them together
NOT THAT KIND OF A PEG!
also here (attached link cause i can't just link multipl...
so, the first ally and lisa prints are successful both in 60 cm size and 30 cm just so we can make sure that they retain both their details and functionality to a reasonable degree. that stl will be releasing soon, and after that there's a bunch more stuff in development. currently working on a more compositionally ambitious suspension based idea where it looks way more precautious than it a...
