STAAARRRSSS.... Jill Valentine sketches

Just some sketches of Jill Valentine! While I wasn't trying too hard on likenesses, the one on the left was done with more Julia Voth in mind, the model on whom the character's likeness was based starting with REmake -- she's got such a great face, and I love how they continued that facial model even up through RE5... She's who I think of when I think "Jill Valentine." That being said, Sasha Zo...

Rebecca Chambers's respite -- 6/15/21 Exclusive

I know it's a few hours late, and I know I didn't announce it technically, but here it is, this month's second exclusive! I wanted to do something a little different this time; instead of doing a single piece and then just making sock or pantyhose variants, I wanted to experiment with a little story progression between two variants, even if it's very minor. I think I want to experiment with mor...

Miranda's leisure -- commission w/variants

My most recently-completed commission, featuring Miranda relaxing on the Normandy. Let me know what you think! I have actual Patreon Exclusive content coming soon, so please be patient! ^_^

My friends, I am officially open for commissions starting today! You can find all the updated relevant info below. Remember, Tier 2 patrons get a 10-15% discount on all orders. Please read through everything and send me a message!

Liara in Shepard's Bedroom -- commission (w/all variants)

Another commission featuring Liara, and it's certainly not the last, as I have a few more with her coming up. This one had a lot of different little variations and combinations, which was fun.

What do you guys think? Who's your favorite character to romance in Mass Effect, and why? I only ever played through the full trilogy once, and went with Ashley, although in retrospect, I 100% shou...

Poll for June 2021 Third Character Exclusive

Sorry it's a few days late this time -- I wanted to come up with some good character ideas. Not to worry, the end date is still a week from now, so you all have time to get your choice in.

I've got some sketches coming soon, and the next Exclusive will be previewed shortly! ^_^

...

Poll coming tomorrow!

Sorry about the delay on the poll, everyone! It will be published tomorrow.

I've also already started work on the 2nd Exclusive for this month, so I might post the lineart for that as well.

Thanks for your patience!

Sabine Wren commission

Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Samus Aran -- After Hours (6/21 Exclusive)

I wanted to do something a little different with this piece. I often come at my drawings from the perspective that these are photos, often with the character modeling and fully-aware of the viewer. I decided to touch more on that with this piece, with the idea of our favorite Chozo-trained bounty hunter, Samus, posting a goofy and playful Instagram photo.

Very little of this piece was pl...

Wattson Apex Legends tickle

A commission of Wattson from Apex Legends, caught in quite the predicament. That's a happy fence. c:

Wonder Woman sketch and hand study

New sketches for everyone! Let me know what you think in the comments below... OH, and while I have you all here, any ideas on who I should put in next month's character poll??

---------------

I've been using these sketches and studies as a way to improve in isolated areas. It's much better for me to try and explore new things, and push my boundaries, in these quick one-offs, rather...

Tease for June 1st Exclusive

Just a little taste for what's coming up in just a few days, as the first exclusive for June, available to both Tier 1 and Tier 2 patrons. I really love this piece so far, so I hope you all do too!

I also have some brand-new sketches coming up either today or tomorrow, to finish off the content for this month, as well as the roadmap for next month. Stay tuned! ;D

Chun Li's Commands -- 5/21/21 Poll Exclusive

Finally got to tackle the famous Chun Li! Never really played much Street Fighter myself, but I'm familiar with the characters...

Thank you to everyone who voted for this badass character! More content coming before the end of this month, including some sketches and studies. ^_^

Let me know what you think of Chun Li and her feet in the comments below!

Valkyrie, variants -- from 5/1/21 Exclusive

Sorry about the delay on this! I've been plugging away at commissions, as well as working diligently on more Patreon content, including Chun Li and some more sketches + studies.

More coming soon! ^_^

Aloy, Horizon Zero Dawn -- Exclusive 5/11/21

Here she is!

I'll be honest, I struggle with rendering soft fabrics and clothing. You can't really define much of it in the lineart, lest you end up with these dark, hard lines that end up breaking the visual immersion. So, I have to get by with somewhat bare-bones lineart for pieces like these, and have to rely on the rendering stage to really convey the forms. This is the same issue I ...

Another Beth Harmon sketch and hand studies

I finally started watching the Queen's Gambit for real, and I'm liking it so far. I wanted to take another (albeit quick) crack at Beth Harmon, so here she is. In addition, here are some hand studies. ^_^

More content coming very soon!

Rory Mercury, Gate -- commission

Here's another commission freshly-completed, featuring Rory Mercury from one of many animes that I have never seen... I liked doing the badass schoolgirl-type costume though. ^_^

Also, Aloy is coming along nicely -- she will be ready in time for 5/11/21 as the next exclusive for Tier 2 patrons. Valkyrie variants coming as well, along with some new sketches, for all patrons. c:<...

Jinx, Dragon Crown Sorceress, and Corp Hart -- commissions

Here are my most recent commissions -- I hope you like them! More to come soon, along with more Patreon-exclusive content. ^_^

Going to be away from home for a few days...

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to remind you all that I'm going to be away from home for the few half of this week. I will resume work on commissions once I get back. I will still be checking all my platforms and replying to messages, but my response time may be slower.

Thanks for much for your kindness and support, I can't wait to bring out the next batch of content! Maybe I will br...

May 2021 Exclusive Character Poll (for 5/22/21)

Yikes, I thought I scheduled this properly -- guess not. Here it is though, this month's poll deciding the character to be released on 5/22/21, as the third and final exclusive of the month. For all Tier 2 patrons, plug your vote in for which character you want to see the most!

More content coming soon!

Valkyrie is Live -- Exclusive 5/1/21

Valkyrie is coming to the Apex games soon, so she's getting a little help from Octane on his livestream to spread the word.

Variants are coming a little later this week, after Wednesday, since I'm taking a few days off for my birthday. The variants will also drop alongside some new sketches and/or studies...

Happy May everyone! ^_^

Super late Content Roadmap for May...

Hey everyone, so sorry for the delay on this! As you may know, I decided to start using a Content Roadmap to plan out the content being released on the Patreon page for the upcoming month, with the first and most recent one being the roadmap for April. Unfortunately, I ran into a ton of issues with rearranging the layout for May's roadmap, and quickly came to the realization that I was doing a ...

Samus sketch and expression studies

Samus contemplates her last mission with her feet bared.

Also, some faces. ^_^

Content roadmap for next month coming soon!

More content in a day or two...

Just wanted to let you all know there’s some more sketches and studies coming in a day or two, for this month... Can’t wait to show you guys! 😊😊

Tsunade -- April Poll Exclusive Release 4/22/21

Thanks to your votes earlier this month, Tsunade is the final exclusive for this month. That being said, there's still more content coming, including some exclusive sketches, and more commission updates.

Captain Dare, Halo 3: ODST -- commission

Let me know what you think in the comments below! :D

Captain Marvel (Patreon Bonus for all tiers)

I started this piece as a sketch, to act as a baseline for offering sketch commissions. I figured I would do the lineart and then color it in to offer you all something extra. ^_^

I hope you like it!

Commissions are now open again in LIMITED CAPACITY (due to the long wait time for backlogged orders), and sketch commissions are now available. You can check out the details here: 2021-04-20 19:20:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Carolina, Red vs Blue -- commission w/variants

Was anyone else a fan of Red vs Blue by RoosterTeeth? I never watched more than a few episodes here and there, but it had a huge following in its prime.

Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Captain Dare, Halo 3 ODST -- commission WIP

Here's a look at one of my current in-progress commissions, just to give you all an idea of what things look like halfway done. I first do a loose sketch, which I then ink, followed by blocking out base colors (using the wand tool or the lasso tool -- the paint bucket tool is not as reliable). Once I do that, I pick some area with a consistent color (say, the blue base of the helmet), and start...

Quick question about commissions....

Do any of you find it confusing as to where you can find my commission info, or even if I offer them? I've gotten a few messages from Patrons who don't know where to find that info, so I want to make it much easier for you guys to be able to keep track of prices and available options, as well as queues/wait periods.

Let me know your thoughts!
