Emma "Little Cricket" (Gen V) -- Exclusive 10/23

Have you watched this show yet? I'm loving it so far -- I'm a big fan of The Boys, and while I was a little apprehensive of this at first (I'm not big on school drama stuff), it's really quite fun. So far, Emma "Little Cricket" is my favorite character -- she's pretty much got Ant Man powers, with some gruesome differences. Technically, she only wears this outfit when she's small, as it's suppo...

Riley's Late Night // Exclusive 10/23

Riley is the team supervisor at your new job, and the deadline for your project is coming up! You agree to do some overtime at her home office, in the hopes of getting the project done on time (and make yourself look good for a potential promotion). She thanks you for sticking it out with her, as none of the other team members cared to stay later, and if the deadline isn't met, Riley is the one...

Karlach (Baldur's Gate 3) -- Exclusive 4 of 4 (9/23)

I haven't been able to play this game yet -- it's not released yet on Xbox! But I'm loving all of the positive reviews, I cannot wait to get my hands on this.

Thank you to all the Patrons who voted for Karlach for this month! For all of the other characters featured in the last poll, I will try and work through them as well in the following weeks and months. c:

Goth Girl Feet -- Exclusive 3 of 4 (9/20)

That moment when your goth girl classmate kicks off her shoes after a workout and expects you both to get straight to working on your university project, but is completely oblivious to where your attention lies.

COMMISSIONS: I'm pretty much all filled up for October, but I can start taking early November commissions if you want to get ahead of the game! Shoo...

Kaylee, Firefly -- Exclusive 2 of 4 (9/23)

I've been re-watching this show lately, despite having seen it dozens of times. Considering it's only one season, in terms of time investment, it's not too much of a hardship.

If you haven't seen it, do it. c:

Tons of Commissions

While you all are waiting for the next piece for this month, here are some recently-completed commissions. I have posted a few of these on Twitter and/or DeviantArt, but just in case you don't follow me on those sites, these should be a nice check into what I've been doing the past few months. XD

And yes, if you are still waiting on a commission of your own, I'm working on it! Patience m...

Poll for September 2023 Fourth Exclusive

So I went through a bunch of old polls, per usual, and collected some of the runner-ups from those selections, as well as pulling some options never featured before. There's quite a few choices here, but remember, you can cast multiple votes. ;D

As always, after you cast your vote, let me know in the comments about any other characters you'd like to see featured in another poll...

Jill Valentine (Resident Evil 3) -- Exclusive 1 of 4 (9/23)

You're the newest recruit in the Raccoon City Police Department, and you're stuck on the night shift with S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine. She agrees to show you the ropes, but when you lose a little bet with her, she's resigned to having you do something unusual for her...

Jen Walters/She Hulk -- Exclusive 4 of 4 (8/23)

What do you think of the She-Hulk show? I've not seen it all the way through, but what I've been told by others, and from reviews, I'm not crazy about it.
That being said, there's no reason we can't all enjoy some Jen Walters content! c;

Do you want to see a She-Hulk variant of this? I was going to include it in this set, but didn't have a lot of time, so I'll probably get to it very ...

April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza) - Parks and Rec -- Exclusive 3 of 4 (8/23)

April Ludgate is not too busy to insult you while pretending to work.

Sorceress Sellen -- Exclusive 2 of 4 (8/23)

You are back for your next lesson with Sorceress Sellen, but instead of teaching you about glintstone sorcery, she wants to take you on a little academic tangent. c;

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

No matter how much I try, I almost come back to sorcerer builds in Elden Ring. Still, I'll never get used to Sellen's unfortunate fate at the end of her questline...

Pam, The Office -- Exclusive 1 of 4 (8/23)

I've been saying for months now that I would get around to doing Pam, but after starting up The Office again for another watch-through, I decided to commit. c;

As of writing this, I'm taking commissions -- message me here or send me an email at empiricalsmut@gmail.com if you want to talk about getting you a commission!

Margot Robbie (Barbie) -- Exclusive 4 of 4 (7/23)

I have not seen the movie yet, and I don't think I'm going to anytime soon, but there's no denying just how cute Margot Robbie is, and how much content she's generated for this kind of thing. c;

Barbie (Margot Robbie) Feet -- Lineart WIP

Thanks so much for your poll votes, my friends... I should have seen this one coming from a mile away. XDD

Well, here's the lineart for the upcoming Exclusive... It will be up in a day or two, before the end of the month. :D

Poll for Exclusive 4 for 7/23

I know, I missed a few polls back there! I wanted to spend some time catching up on older runner ups for previous polls, so to give more people a chance to see their favorite characters drawn. I have now returned with some more fun options!

The time that this poll will be up will not be very long, so be sure to get your votes in quickly. ;D

Curie, Fallout 4 -- Exclusive 3 of 4 (7/23)

It's hard to pick a favorite companion from Fallout 4 -- I have a lot of love for Piper and Cait, but there's something so charming about Curie. I'm in the middle of a playthrough right now, and I have yet to find her in the Vault -- I'm doing busywork for the Brotherhood of Steel in Far Harbor, despite the fact that I'm kind of under-leveled for that area.

For anyone not familiar with t...

Lilac Character Design (OC) -- Exclusive 2 of 4 (7/23)

I've had Lilac as an OC for a while now, I just don't draw her that often. I'm still coming up with a more permanent overall design for her, which is reflected here. I want her to have a bit of a bright, bubbly aesthetic, with inspiration from pastel goth, e-girl, and soft grunge aesthetics. Whenever I design a character, I naturally lean into incorporating some edgy techwear detail, but I didn...

Amy Santiago (Brooklyn 99) -- Exclusive 1 of 4 (7/23)

I'm on my second watch of this show -- it's great to have on in the background while I work. c;

Ashley (Casual), RE4 Remake -- Exclusive 4 of 4, 6/23

This outfit is so damn cute, I had to draw it. I really struggled with this, because there weren't many clear references, and I'm quite detail-oriented, so I will get annoyed if I have to bullshit some vague details into fanart. Still, I managed to get most of it down (although looking at it now, I didn't finish rendering her bracelets, I might go back to edit those and reupload soon). It was o...

Spider Gwen -- Exclusive 3 of 4, 6/23

I'll admit it, I haven't seen the new movie yet! I have that, and the new Flash movie to see very soon... Probably next week.

I don't do that many characters in The Pose -- partly because it doesn't show the feet front and center, and because it kind of obscures the front part of the character's body. But, if anyone here is a fan of that, you've got it. c:

Did you see Ac...

Rosa Diaz (Brooklyn 99) -- Exclusive 2 of 4, 6/23

I'm on my second watch of this show, and it's great material to have playing in the background while I'm working. I usually find music to be boring, while podcasts or audiobooks can demand just a little too much attention, more than I can afford if I'm working on art.

I really want to do Amy Santiago soon.... c:

Ada Wong (RE4 Remake) -- Exclusive 1 of 4, 6/23

I pretty much did 90% of this piece in a single day. I just got in the zone, and got the whole thing done, ready for the first of this month. c:

Ada Wong Exclusive WIP

Here's a little progress update on next month's first Exclusive, featuring Ada Wong from Resident Evil 4 Remake... 

Nebula (GOTG) -- Exclusive 4 of 4, 5/23

Here's another one from the increasingly-long list of "characters that I want to do but will never have enough time to get through all of them in my lifetime". This piece took me WAY too long, as sometimes I get so in the zone that I'll start working on something, peek my head up, and realize I've been working on one part for hours. While more time can indeed lead to a more detailed, fine-tuned...

Claire Redfield (Resident Evil 2 Remake) -- Exclusive 3 of 4, 5/23

Once again, here’s another one of the contenders in the last poll I did – Claire Redfield from Resident Evil 2 Remake.

I have done Claire several times before, but I feel like I never quite captured her correctly, especially with her new face model in the remake, Jordan Mcewen. When it comes to characters with physical actresses or face models (as opposed to, say, anime girls), I spen...

V, Cyberpunk 2077 -- Exclusive 2 of 4, 5/23

I know this one is a week late, sorry! I had gotten halfway through this one, before I hit a bit of a block and started working on the next Exclusive, so it took me longer than normal to get it out the door.

I still haven't played Cyberpunk, although from what I hear, they've fixed a lot of the bugs and glitches that plagued it upon release. Plus, now that I have a Series X, I ...

Sherry Birkin (RE6) -- April 2023 Exclusive (1/4)

I had this piece mostly finished around the middle of last month, just so I could make sure it came out on time. I'm currently working on Cyberpunk V, which will be next... Thank you to all you wonderful people who placed your poll votes. c:

Hela -- Exclusive 4/29/23

Don't you lie -- the battle-worn version of her costume, with the messy eye makeup is superior to the cleaned-up one with the cape.

Thank you to everyone who voted, I was thrilled to do Hela for the first time! Not surprisingly, I've had a few clients reach out for commissions of her in the past, but they just didn't come through.

I'm going to be tackling more of the character opt...

April 2023 Poll

So I went back and collected a bunch of characters that you all had proposed over the last few months, to be featured in this month's poll. There were so many fun ideas, I wish I could do them all, but I'll have to take it one step at a time!

As always, this poll will determine the fourth and final piece I do for this month -- sorry it's so late. Oh, and remember, you can cast multiple d...

Rebecca Chambers -- 4/14/23 Exclusive

This girl has been one of my favorite Resident Evil characters since RE0 -- too bad she hasn't really made too many appearances since then.

I've been increasingly adding modularity to all of my work as time goes on. What that means is that for a given artwork, different pieces are done in completely-separate layer groups. With Rebecca, for example, her head, right foot, right hand, and p...
