As soon as I caught the first glimpses of this character, I knew I had to draw her... It's wild how easily she caught fire in the online community, and let's be honest, it's not really a surprise. ;D

I'm currently open for a few June slots for commissions -- send me a message if you want to get a commission of your character of choice, and add me on Discord (empiricals...
She's cooking, she's cooking... There will be a few variants for this, per usual. ^_^
Erin is just lounging about in the park, and kicks her boots off, but notices you staring... Are you going to play it cool, or fess up?

When the character is this close to the "camera", it can be tempting to keep adding more and more texture and details... But when everything is detailed, then it all just gets lost as visual noise. Plus, nothing would ever get posted!
TYPO: I MEANT ANDROID 18 IN THE FIRST POLL PLACE, NOT 11! 😡😡
Now HOLD up everyone -- before you ask, Emma Frost is guaranteed coming this month, so she isn't being featured in the poll. XD
Now that we've got that out of the way, I've got a bit of a smaller selection for the poll this time around, to kind of consolidate the votes a bit. ;D

Big surprise, here's another Resident Evil character, who would have thought?
One of the things I LOVE about these games, even going back to the early-200s remake of RE1 on the Gamecube, is that they almost always have dedicated scan models for the main characters. It makes drawing them much more interesting, and that extra level of recognition is important for character who don't exactl...
This just felt right for the character of Kat -- dressing up in a put-together clown outfit for the hell of it, to post on her Twitter page.
While it may not look like much, sneakers and discarded shoes in general can be really time-consuming to detail. They don't always require complicated shading or rendering -- but getting those shapes right with the sketch, and then finalizing those ...

This is my second whack at Ash from Apex Legends (her human form, of course, before she had her consciousness transferred into a robotic body), and I gotta say, I am so much happier with how she came out here. Not only was I working from just 2D images last time, but I just poured a ton of extra time and love into this one, and I'm hoping it shows. That, plus the fact that, if I can say without...

There's not much rhyme or reason to this set; just a handful of various pieces.
1) First one is the lineart WIP for one of the upcoming Patreon Exclusives (should be ready very soon), featuring Ash from Apex Legends. ;D
2) A new original character of mine. I'll be doing some more drawings of her very soon!
3) Wraith, from Apex Legends (commission)
4) Lady Dimitrescu s...

Moira Burton, from Resident Evil Revelations 2! I'm having trouble finishing the game, but I did really like her character design...
I'm constantly trying to coalesce drawing and rendering techniques on the realistic and more cartoony/stylistic ends of the spectrum. I'll see the works of some other artist, and get really excite and inspired to lean into something that's, say, really anim...
This is one of the two exclusives for February, for which I have fallen behind a bit. The next one is coming shortly, along with this month's first exclusive. Thanks for your patience everyone. c:
The character Mama, from Death Stranding, one of my favorite games. I don't play a wide variety of games, as I usually just play a handful of favorites to death. I got the Director's Cut of Death Stranding during a sale (the first time it's been released for Xbox), and man was it fun. It's nothing like Metal Gear Solid, and surprised me as I went in pretty much blind, but it's a great game to j...

I really like doing this little narratives for Patreon pieces, and I really wish I could do longer-form content -- but it just takes so much time! Doing variants of the same piece is fine and all, but it bloats file size, and actually ends up not being much less work than doing a whole new piece sometimes, with all the modular layer management required. XD
I do love me some Kat -- I need...
She was the winner of the most recent poll, so here she is -- Psylocke from Marvel Rivals! I really like this design they gave her, despite it being quite different from her classic look.
What do you all think of the way the feet are done on this one? I tried some different things this time around.

February commissions are FILLED UP -- thank you so much to ev...
There was no way I was letting either of these character looks for Sue go undrawn, so why not tackle them both at the same time? Maybe in the future I'll have one more Sue-focused, instead of Malice-focused, but we have to start somewhere.

You probably noticed that Malice and Invisible Woman/Sue Storm weren't on that exclusive poll for this month's fourth piece, and that's because BOTH of them are being featured in this one -- it's currently a WIP, of course, but once finished, it will be the third exclusive for the month, followed shortly after by the poll winner character. ;D
Yes, they are technically the same person, bu...
You all know the drill!
And as always, hit me up with some more ideas for future poll choices in the comments below!
I always like the super up-close, feet-on-either-side shot, so I decided to go with that for this piece. The playful candid stuff has a certain charm to it as well.
I also wanted to work on my rendering for white socks, as it's harder to hide details than with black ones. D:
Finally, just for fun, I included some WIPs of the figure and environment. There's a lot of stuff that I dr...

Sorry not sorry, but apparently this is Marvel Rivals month, and we are back at it, this time with Black Widow. ;D
One of the tough things about drawing this character, even with the 3D model from the game, is that the art style gives all the character's these strange multi-toned surfaces. So Black Widow, while at first glance it looks like she's wearing black and gray, actually has all ...
God, this piece took so long. There's this progression of working on a drawing where I'll be about 75% done with everything, where mostly everything is colored, and then I'll start adding more and more things. There are diminishing returns per unit of time that I spend on it, but damn, I love the end result. I can only wonder if people subconsciously notice these little adjustments and tweaks; ...

So I actually have 3 other Patreon Exclusives nearly finished at the moment, as I've been bouncing around between them, not sure which ones to put out first. I decided on Squirrel Girl, because look at how cute she is! How can you resist that.
It may not be immediately-apparent, but I'm trying some new techniques. I'm really liking how things are looking with them. :D

Rawr! I gotta admit, I haven't seen Season 2 yet.... D:
But this look was so cool I had to go inspecting and drawing it!

My second drawing of my OC, Riley. I want to take time to flesh out all of these OCs of mine, and do character sheets... Since the character sheets aren't exactly pinup in nature, it wouldn't make sense to post them as part of the regularly-scheduled exclusives, so they would essentially be bonuses. c:

As promised, this piece is publicly available here on Patreon -- I won't be posting it on the other sites, but you don't need to be a supporter to view this one! Some supporters come and go, and in case anyone ended their Tier 2 subscription last month, I still want them to be able to get access to the piece that I missed posting. So, here it is, regardless of tier, or support status at all. :D...
2024-11-11 03:51:09 +0000 UTC View PostI just want to apologize to the Tier 2 supporters, as I didn't get the fourth exclusive uploaded last month in time! I'm going to post it this coming week, as a "public" post, so even if you didn't renew your Tier 2 subscription after last month, you'll still have access to view it.
I'm also going to do a fifth exclusive for this month, for Tier 2 supporters, as an extra apology. c:
