Sienna Shaw (Terrifier) -- Exclusive 10/24

In celebration of the fast-approaching Halloween, here's the badass Final Girl from the Terrifier trilogy. Sienna Shaw, portrayed by Lauren Lavera. c:

I'm not a big consumer of horror stuff, but I maintain some familiarity with the big names in the genre. I think Sienna and Ripley from Alien are some of my favorite characters. I don't know if I really have a favorite horror monster itsel...

Sadako (The Ring) -- Exclusive 2 of 4, 10/24

I saw this post from a Twitter cosplayer, and felt an overwhelming urge to draw Sadako, the creepy ghost woman from the Japanese Ring novels and films: https://x.com/VAMPlREGF/status/1836162254317703218

It felt a little odd rendering her, because the outfit and overall design is so simple -- it was...

Erin in the Park (Exclusive 1 of 4, 10/24)

I guess I have a thing for girls lounging around in workout attire, so here is my OC Erin hanging out. She's technically supposed to have a bunch of tattoos down her right arm, but I still haven't gotten around to designing them, so we'll just ignore it for now. XD

I created Erin over 10 years ago, as a RP character on GaiaOnline -- I had a little account for her and everything. Her name...

Shadowheart (Baldur's Gate 3) -- Exclusive (9/24)

Your boi is sick today -- one of the reasons this piece took a little longer than it should have! D:

Kat with her feet up... Exclusive 3/4 (9/24)

I won't lie -- I have a handful of Kat drawings of varying levels of completion saved on my computer. I have to drip-feed her, so she doesn't hog up my entire Patreon timeline. XD

I didn't do anything new here, with the exception of the muddy variant; I just wanted to try out something a little different and challenge myself. :D

Sorceress Sellen (Again) -- Exclusive 2/4 (9/24)

I've been seeing a little resurgence of Sellen content on Twitter lately, so I wanted to get in on the action. I have yet to play the new DLC, but I will try and make some time for it soon. I can't wait to get my butt handed to me by a random dog enemy!

Who's your favorite Elden Ring NPC? Mine is probably Sellen, although Alexander is up there as well...

Character Poll for this month (9/24)

Here we have a selection of characters for you to choose from, to feature as this month’s fourth exclusive. You’ve got a full week to get your votes in; and remember, you can vote for multiple characters. 😌

Who are some of your favorite characters that you want to see drawn at some point? They don’t need to be the ones shown here. 😶

Dr. Alana Bloom (Hannibal) -- Exclusive 1 of 4 (9/24)

Hannibal is one of my favorite shows, and Caroline Dhavernas is gorgeous -- so, naturally, I had to draw her at some point. c:

Are there any other kinds of variants you'd be interested in seeing in general for my drawings? Maybe more head variants, or feet pose variants?

Annette Birkin (Resident Evil 2 Remake)

This is one of those pieces where I had a reasonable version of the piece 90% done -- only to spend several more hours adding details, doing dialogue, and the like. I don't know to what extent this is because I'm technically inefficient, or if this is just the consequence of wanting to put out a detailed, multi-variant piece for you wonderful people. I feel lackluster when I put out something t...

Donna Beneviento (RE8: Village) -- Exclusive

I've had quite a few people over the last year or so ask me if I could do Donna. She's quite underrated, especially since she's usually compared to the scene-stealing Lady Dimitrescu. c:

What are some of your favorite underrated fictional characters?

Cassandra Nova (Deadpool and Wolverine) - Exclusive

Have you seen Deadpool and Wolverine yet? It's a lot of fun, and a nice breath of fresh air after all the slop we've been getting in the past few years from the MCU. Not the most intelligent or deep movie, but not only do we not expect that from a Deadpool film, it also makes up for it by just being a fun watch.

Cassandra Nova was pretty creepy in this kind of spaced-out, alien way, and ...

Erin and Kat -- Exclusive 8/24

I sunk a lot of time into this one, thanks to the double characters, although it was originally going to be split into two separate pieces. Look how much I love you all, I put them together. :D

No dialogue or in-depth breakdown on this one today... I have more stuff on the cusp of being posted, so stay tuned!

-----------

And yes, I do take commissions... Hit me ...

Queen Marika (Elden Ring) -- Exclusive 4/4 , 7/24

I saw some fanart of Queen Marika going around in the leadup to the Elden Ring DLC, so I figured, "hey, lemme throw her in June's poll" -- so she came up in a close second place. To not disappoint those who voted for her, here she is. c:

Do you have a favorite Elden Ring boss? Or maybe a least favorite? Malenia took me maybe 75 tries over the course of days to get her moveset (mostly) do...

Kat and Jill -- Exclusive 3 of 4 (7/24)

I wanted to do my OC Kat with a friend's OC, Jilly, so here it is. c:

Not much to talk about here; OCs (whether it's mine, or someone else's) are very different from drawing characters from big IPs, whose designs are the result of multiple iterations across different artists and contributors. They tend to be a lot simpler. XD

The next exclusive is going to have a runner-up from la...

Ada Wong Tickles Ashley -- Exclusive 7/24

While Leon is off taking care of business, he leaves Ashley all alone in the dining room of Salazar's castle, to spare her the danger of getting kidnapped by the sinister Los Illuminados zealots. Or so he thinks she's alone, as the femme fatale Ada Wong drops by to pay the President's daughter a visit.

In Leon's absence, the seductive Ada Wong manages to convince Ashley into some distract...

Noir Claire Redfield (Resident Evil)

Not much to say here, other than I love this alternate costume from Resident Evil 2 Remake -- Claire in her "Noir" bonus outfit.

I'm going to take some time soon to start doing studies again. It's easy to get swept up in the never-ending torrent of Patreon content and commissions, and if I don't make an active effort to learn new things and improve, my skills start to stagnate. Sur...

Firecracker Tickle Threat (The Boys) - Exclusive 4 of 4, 6/24

Starlight and The Boys have successfully captured Firecracker, one of the newest members of the corrupt superhero team, The Seven. They're looking for information on the company that owns them, Vought International, and it looks like it'll take some tickling to get the information out of her! Starlight is more than happy to volunteer to provide the necessary interrogation.

--------...

OC Kat -- Exclusive 3 of 4 for 6/24

You're getting more Kat, because I can't get enough of her myself. XD

I have a lot of fun doing the different pose and face variants -- I want to do them more often. >:D

Erin Hannon (The Office) - Exclusive 2 of 4 (6/24)

A while back, I did a loose closeup painting of Pam. Then, I did a true Exclusive in typical EmpiricalSmut fashion, featuring Pam. And now, finally, I buckled down and have done the other secretary at Dunder Mifflin, Erin Hannon, who is portrayed by Ellie Kemper.

This piece was tricky due to the camera angle I chose. It's a slight bird's-eye view, with the camera looking down on the subj...

Poll for 4th Exclusive of 6/24

Here's this month's poll, the winner of which will determine the fourth and final character I'll be drawing at the end of this month. Remember, you can cast multiple votes! c:

Also, if there are any other characters you would like to see in the future, don't hesitate to comment below!

Alyx Vance -- Half Life -- commission

Here's a recent commission, featuring Alyx from Half Life!

I will admit, I have never played Half Life 2, or the VR Alyx game -- I played through most of the first game, if I recall correctly, but it was a long time ago. XD

I do like getting to draw different poses, so a basic standing shot was a nice change. I'm still trying to figure out how to balance the backgrounds with the f...

Asun'ghar, Lady of Ash (Warhammer 40k) -- Commission

Here's a recently-completed commission of Asun'ghar, Lady of Ash, from Warhammer 40k. There's no official images of her face, but the client was pretty clear on how they wanted to portray her without the mask. This character was interesting to do, since there aren't really that many detailed references of her, besides a singular key art image, and some painted figures, the latter of which are n...

Alter (Apex Legends) -- Exclusive 1 of 4 (6/24)

I've been wanting to draw her for a while -- thank god for the cosplay guides Respawn puts out! It's a bonus when I can find a high-quality 3d model to manipulate and look at, but the cosplay guide has all the costume parts broken down, which is pretty damn useful. One of the things that takes the most time when doing fanart is just zooming in on pictures and trying to figure out what it is I'm...

Apex Legends Alter WIP (Upcoming Exclusive) and more stuff

To tide you all over for the full Exclusives for this month, here is a couple of WIPs and doodles I've done over the past few months. I will admit, it's possible I posted one or two of these before already, so forgive me if that's the case!

1) Alter is coming out next, as the first Exclusive for this month, so you can see what her lineart looks like here. c:

2, 3) These are some a...

Kerrigan (De-Zerged) - Exclusive 5/24

I haven't played Starcraft in YEARS, but I remember having a blast with it. I had a few options to choose from, including pre-Zerg and Queen of Blades Kerrigan, but I really liked this look and thought "what the hell".

I would love to do full variants of this piece in the future, with those looks, but we'll see... ;D

Kat's Legs-Up Display (Exclusive 3 of 4, 5/24)

Face it, you're getting more Kat. c:

I've found that rendering nude, or mostly-nude bodies has a lot of challenges that rendering clothed figures does not. Fabrics rely on things like wrinkles and textures to indicate their form, and especially with the articles of color having different colors, you can get a pretty detailed figure quite easily. However, with skin, there's no seam lines,...

Jinx(!) from Arcane -- Exclusive 2 of 4, 5/24

So Jinx came in as a close second for last month's poll, after Ripley and Atom Eve, so she needed to get done ASAP! I've drawn her once or twice before, but not only was that in her classic League outfit instead of the Arcane look, it was quite some time ago, and I wanted to take another crack at this psychotic blue-haired girl.

Are you excited for Season 2? It took me a long time ...

Ellen Ripley (Alien ) - Exclusive 1/4 (5/24)

I had first seen "Alien" a long, long time ago, as a child, and hadn't seen it again until about a month ago. I had this memory of the movie being quite good, and I knew that it was praised by many in the horror space, and even throughout the wider film culture -- and yet, revisiting it for the first time in years was so good. It made me realize how much I miss well-written characters, especial...

Atom Eve (Invincible) - (Overdue Exclusive for 4/24)

So sorry about this my friends, but here she is! As I said in the last post, I messed up and just fell behind with the scheduling of the Patreon Exclusives for April, which meant that, for Tier 2 supporters, you only got three out of the four that you are entitled to. That's not acceptable, since all of you go out of your way to show you support for me and my work, and I don't want to let you d...

Erin Bedside (Exclusive 3 of 4, 4/24)

Erin has had a long past few days of mercenary work, eliminating various targets. While working outside the bounds of the law yourself, you couldn't help but feel a little nervous when one of your trusted contacts paid you a sizeable sum to provide shelter to this assassin. Despite your reservations, you decide to accept the proposal, inviting this dangerous woman into your home while she hide...
