September 2023 Fantasy Class Poll

I realized I never asked everyone for ideas on this month's poll! So I thought we'd try fantasy classes, which we haven't done before. I think this will be really fun - I always love seeing others' take on fantasy and love trying it on my own. I don't know if I've drawn a ninja type before though...?!...

Vash and Meryl

Overdue bonus sketch from July's poll! Vash and Meryl were voted highly, so I wanted to draw them together. I never actually saw the original Trigun, but the new one has some really cute redesigns - has anyone seen it? Is it worth checking out? They're super cute together, haha. Enjoy!

Tentacles

Hi!! Here's this month's illust - I was feeling I wanted to draw a solo pic so I made it very slimy 😅 I always like drawing girls having a good time, lol.

I still owe you all some bonus sketches from last month's poll but I've been swamped this month 🙇‍♀️ I should have more time in the coming weeks so I wanna get a few bonus sketches out! I've had so little time to draw for my...

Purah and Link

The poll winner this month was Purah and Link, which means we get a followup image to last month? Poor Linky couldn't resist joining in for some fun. I always like doing multiple illustrations for the same scene, so this was a lot of fun!

Vi x Caitlyn and Vash x Meryl tied for second place though... maybe I'll try to do a sketch of them both in the next couple weeks as a little bonus 😘...

July 2023 Couples Poll

Here's this month's poll! Super excited about this one because we've never done couples before. I'm glad we got a good mix of yuri/straight couples too! I had to throw Purah and Link up there so we could get a followup to June's image.

Looking forward to see where this goes, see you at the end of...

Purah

Here's this month's... not original illustration! I haven't had the time to play as much TotK as I'd like, but I had to find an excuse to draw Purah so here we are. I feel I have no idea what she was doing to get in this situation though - how did she get totally naked 🤔  but I feel like the tower's arms begged for an illustration like this, so I had fun.

July will be a poll month...

Reverse Bunnysuit

Reverse bunnysuit won this month's poll! I think our bun got a little too drunk with a customer 💦 This one seemed like an easy choice to run with some variants too. 

Also this month is a bonus illustration! I think Leon would be too professional, but I feel like this scenario begs for a followup... I'll try to do that as another bonus illust. 

We'll be back to an origin...

May 2023 Fetish Poll

Here's the poll for this month! All of these basically ended up being outfits. We haven't done reverse bunny suit or gym uniform before, but all the options sound fun!

I'm taking an actual vacation for the rest of this week 🥳 It'll be back to nonstop work after, but I'm looking forward to a fe...

Maid

Happy April! 

I've taken on so much freelance work this year that I've had zero time to draw for myself 😭 Hence my total silence on social - I truly just have had no time to draw for fun. So getting to draw this was honestly such a nice indulgent break from all the work I've been doing! Hopefully it'll ease up in the next few months but in the meantime, I always have fun doing the...

Elphelt

Here's the bonus Elphelt sketch from March's poll! I started with the other sketch but I felt like paizuri made sense for her in the end 😅 She has such a cute design so this was fun. 

I'll be back at the end of the month for April's main illustration! See you then! 🥰

Satsuki

Satsuki won this month's poll! I've always thought she was dangerously close to slipping out in that outfit so I just ran with it 😂 I'm happy with how I drew her bits this time, I think they're cute. Plus a bonus variation this time, since it made sense. 

I always feel bad when I do a poll and a character makes a repeat appearance but doesn't make it, so I think I'd like to start ...

March 2023 Character Poll

Here's this month's poll, thanks for the character suggestions! Elphelt makes a return, and we can jump on the Ashley redesign just in time for RE4 to come out, haha. All good choices though, we'll see where this one goes. 

I'll back at the end of the month with the result!

Vibe

Happy February! I always forget February is a short month so it came up quick 😱 but I still had fun with this one. I was looking at Oda Non's art recently and I think you can see the inspiration, lol. Hope you enjoy!

Next month is another poll month! Characters are always a fun one so maybe let's run with that (I was tempted to draw the new Cammy for this month but went for an original...

Fran and Balthier

Fran won this month's poll! I was SO excited for this one because I love Fran and Balthier, and there's not enough art of them together out there 🥺 Fran is always a hard character to do justice so I hope I did okay here. Thanks for voting and hope you enjoy! ❤️ I'll see you next month for another original piece!

Actual January 2023 Rabbit-themed Poll 😅

Here's the actual poll! Sorry I missed it last night, that's what I get for posting right before going to sleep 😭 Thanks for your patience and enjoy!! 

January 2023 Rabbit-themed Poll

Happy new year!! This month is a poll month, so we're starting off the year with some fun choices.

Since it's the year of the rabbit, I thought doing a rabbit themed poll was appropriate 🐰 I do have to confess that I have a particular fondness for Melona - I actually own five figures of her, even though I've never actually watched Queen's Blade 😅😅 I just think her design is too c...

Princess and Demon

Happy holidays!!! Here's the end-of-year bonus - a full six page comic! I tried to outdo myself from last year, so it went from four pages to six pages this time. It was a lot of work but I'm pretty happy with how it came out - I don't have a ton of confidence in my writing but hopefully you'll find it enjoyable! 

Just a reminder that I do post all my source files on the $5 tier, and...

Himeno

Himeno won this month's poll! This was a close one, it looked like Elphelt was winning for a little bit. But it looks like everyone's on the Chainsaw Man train currently and I don't blame them, I am also obsessed 😅

I don't think I've done variations before? But I think it made sense for this illustration. I hope you enjoy!

Next month I'll be back with an original, and I think I'l...

November 2022 Character Poll

Thanks for your patience, here's the poll for this month! It looked like characters were the most suggested, and I love all these characters so I couldn't resist - but I feel like I could sneak in some of the other suggestions too as part of the illustration. Let's see where this one goes.

Hope e...

Morrigan

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Here's a bonus end-of-month illustration - I can never resist drawing Morrigan, her design is too perfect. 

I'm back from Japan but I didn't get a chance to draw at all during the trip 😅 I was with family the entire time so it was hard to get some time on my own. Ah well.

I'll be back next month with a poll again! Any ideas on what you'd like to see - c...

Wax Witch PSD/CSP Download

Here are the files for this month's illustration! I had fun going back to CSP's brush tools to give it more of an airbrushed look, with a blend of the brush and blend tools. Sometimes I'm not sure if it meshes well with my style of lineart, but I'm happy with how it came out here. 

Hope you enjoy! 

Wax Witch

Here's this month's illustration, posted a little early for everyone! Going a little witchy for this month was necessary, so here's a witch having a little solo fun 🥰 I'm happy with how fleshy this turned out, haha. Feels like I've leveled up a bit!

Since this month's illustration came early, I'll try to post some other fun sketches from my travels later on. No promises but I'm sure I'...

Nun

Happy September! Here's this month's blasphemous poll winner. This poor nun couldn't resist giving into some carnal pleasures 🙏

I've been having a lot of fun trying to make these feel a bit more cinematic - I've never tried to do lighting quite like this before so it was a fun challenge. I hope you enjoy!

I'll be back sooner than usual with next month's original illustration, sin...

September 2022 Fetish Poll

Thanks for your patience! Here's the poll for September.

I realized I didn't ask you all for poll suggestions, so I ran with a few that I thought would be fun to do. Coincidentally, the ref images all had black outfits so maybe it's a black-themed poll too...? These are all some personal favorite...

Library Part 3

The library illustrations continue! It seemed like lots of people wanted to see what’s next, so here’s the next image in the series. They’re pretty brazen at this point 😅 Hopefully there’s no one else around.

A small FYI for Patrons who are on the PSD/CSP tier - it will go up but will be on the last day of the month. I’m out of town at the moment and can’t prep the files, ...

Ayla

Here's that bonus Ayla sketch! I'm such a sucker for poofy Toriyama hair, her design has always been so cute 🥰

I wanted to also let you all in on something - I'll be announcing a new store tomorrow to sell original apparel and restock my physical sketchbooks! You can grab them early at www.koibeat.com. I'm hoping I can keep...

Power

Power won this month's Patreon poll! It was really close between her and Ayla actually, so as a little bonus I'll post some extra Ayla sketches later this week. This was a fun one though, and I love Power 🥰 I was a bit behind on Chainsaw Man so I'll definitely be catching up on it now. 

Next month we'll be back to original illustrations - but I wanted to ask, would people be inter...

July 2022 Character Poll

The poll for this month is here! Power makes a return but our other characters are newcomers. I do love Chrono Trigger but any of them look fun! Let's see where it goes this month 😚

Library Part 2

Here's the sequel to last month's image! There was no way it wouldn't end up this way, lol. This month also includes a bonus sketch for an alternate idea I had - maybe it's a part 3? Either way, this one was a lot of fun.

Next month is a poll month again! It's always fun doing characters, so let's do that again. Chime in with some characters you'd like to see and I'll get a poll up next m...

Library

The library setting won this month's poll! Featuring our gals from the short comic in December.

This one was a doozy - as soon as I put the poll up with library as an option, it hit me that I'd actually have to draw a library 😅 I started to draw in the millions of books, but I thought there must be a better way - so I ended up using Clip Studio's 3D assets and I'm pretty happy with the...
