April Pinup Poll

Pick your favorite!

Whichever scene wins, I'll pair it with an artist the seems best suited to the subject. 

Voting ends Wednesday at midnight, EST.

One quick note - I normally can't include all the suggestions for a pinup but since there were only 6, and all o...

April Suggestion Box

Okay folks, let's hear your ideas for pinups! For this month I'm only going to be releasing a single pinup, since there are two comics in production, and it'll be a patreon exclusive.

The best suggestions will be added into the pinup voting poll, which will open on Monday.

Complete s...

Cretaceous Seas - Jungle Dangers #1

Here's the drive folder with the entire comic in it, including as a pdf. I'm going to be reorganizing how I distribute the comics and this might be the method, since the setup on patreon isn't really thrilling me.

Cretaceous Seas - Jungle Dangers, Page 6

PHEW! There's page 6 all wrapped up and finished, thus ending Ayla's encounter with that hungry t-rex. Not much else to say other than I hope you guys enjoyed this one. That'll be the last comic I handle personally for a while, to keep my focus exclusively on the Cretaceous Seas game development....

April comics poll winner and a fun surprise

The winner for the poll is...
Ayla and the giant toad!

But here's the fun surprise. Lots of people are stuck inside right now, and the whole world is being impacted by the effects of the pandemic. I want to do something special to improve the quarantine situation, even if only by some s...

April Comic Poll (and a mini-rant).

Now that I'm working full-time on the Cretaceous Seas game, I've assembled a small team of talented artists to handle the comics production. I've been sticking to a 4-6 page story format but would like to start expanding up to 9-12 page shorts. Ultimately, I REALLY want to start publ...

Cretaceous Seas - Jungle Dangers, Page 5

 I decided to stretch the ending out a little and make the t-rex scene 6 pages instead of 5. I'd like to start publishing 10 page comics soon but the expense of time still makes that prohibitive. Anyhow, enjoy!

Ayla Motion Test (rough pencils)

 Ayla's animations for the game fall into two main categories; player controls & enemy interactions. I want both to feel energetic and clean but with player controls it's also important to consider playability. Ayla need to be able to snap into a jump from any point in her i...

What kind of comics do you want to see Secret Stash publishing? Pick your favorite option.

For the next few months my focus is going to be entirely on game development and animation. And yes, all the preview stuff is going to pop up here because I want to keep everyone involved in this amazing process. :) For the last week I've kind of tucked in hard with the actual animation process, ...

Cretaceous Seas - Jungle Dangers, Page 4

Ninja-saurus sex? Stealth-asaurus rex?

She should have kept running. :-P

After the next page is finished I'm going to be turning my attention fully over to the Cretaceous Seas game development, with updates on that will feature behind the scenes look into the process. A lot is als...

Over 75% Funded!

The funding for the game is nearly there!  The time spent putting together the animatons and promo stuff has been making it really challenging working on the comic pages for Ayla's t-rex scene. More than half of the next page is finished so I'm going to try and *squeeze* it in this week.&nbs...

Starting on Ayla's Idle Animation

The main idle animation is one of the key parts of Ayla's motions I'm going to need. Today I launched down that path and got it started. Nice strong pose, decently interesting overall, boobs, all the right parts to begin... and then a splash of motion!

It's far from done, but I wanted ...

Beware of Space Worms

I wanted to do something a little random today and revisit some inks from last year I never published. Thought it'd be fun to play with some blues and oranges for a change. Also, a design something along these lines could get changed just a little and pulled into the Cretaceous Seas Game. Maybe s...

More animation work going towards feeding this big ol' snake.

Happy snek!

Animation work is slow, so this took more time than people might guess, and it's still not finished. The kickstarter campaign for the game is rolling along nicely and this clip will hopefully give it a real boost.

Rough Draft for Snake Vore Attack Animation

 So right upfront, I have to emphasize this is a SUPER rough draft of the first snake vore scene. At this stage it's primarily just a motion sketch to help me get the timing and staging right. I'll keep tweaking this animation and adding more of the extremes (key and secondary poses) until I...

Kickstarter for the Cretaceous Seas GAME!

It's official, kickstarter approved the game! It's going to be fully animated, in 2d and packed with vore scenes. Pretty sure you guys are going to love it. :)

The campaign for funding is going live on January 18th and will have 30 days to raise funds for production. Fingers crossed!

Ayla, Character Turn, Step 2.5

Quick little in-between progress step here on Ayla's turn animation, but not quite to step 3 entirely. Cleaning up the lines and getting everything feeling smooth takes a good deal of time. To make sure those efforts were going stay on target I decided to start by cleaning up the initial key fram...

Start Screen Concept Art

So concept art is a whole other thing than I'm not used to doing, frankly, but I gave it my best shot with how I visualize the start screen for Cretaceous Seas.  I wanted to use this rough animation sketch for showcasing the overall mood I'd want to capture on this screen more than trying to...

Cretaceous Seas - Jungle Dangers, Page 3 color

Ultimate hide and go seek.

Ayla, Character Turn, Step 2

 Step 2: I used the initial blocking from step 1 to better define the key poses. Once some basic forms were defined I began adding the in-between frames, bring us up to a total of 64 drawings to complete the turn. That is more frames than originally planned but I found the turning speed need...

Ayla, character turn, step 1

To get a better sense of how I'm going to be animating Ayla for my upcoming hand-drawn video game I decided to animate her character turn around. It's sort of like having a model sheet brought to life, and good practice at the same time. Seeing the character fleshed out in a 360 degree turn gives...

Cretaceous Seas - Jungle Dangers, Page 2 Color

There's something magical about a babe running topless. Bouncy and magical.  But will she be fast enough?

Scooter Animation Test

Before going deeper down the rabbit hole of traditional animation I wanted to make sure I had the concepts down well enough to actually put a little scene together. Well... I got sort of mixed results. I did animate a little scene, yes, but putting it together taught me that I'm still pretty far ...

Value study by way of Paris

Yesterday I started working up a little sketch to use for animation practice.  The goal was to make it a simple but refined character study with a parallaxing background in the span of two days, probably just the finished pencils. Well... It's the end of day two and I have my character, the ...

Animation Practice Turn

For a bit of 2D animation practice I decided to try a simple character take. FAR from clean or perfect but it was a fun exercise. This animation was going to be fully fleshed out and colored test but I've already spent enough time on it today that I need to call it done enough. Kind of turne...
