Now that this one's done, maybe this afternoon I'll stream the inking & coloring of the full page!

I'm not sure what the thought behind this was. I drew them at least several months ago, but damned if I know why.

I've had this pose thumbnailed on my tablet for... I don't even know how long. At least a year, maybe two. And in all that time it screamed out to be drawn, and today I finally listened.

This week I'm finally working on something that's been on my list for a while - a 3D model of Theycallhimcake's Cassie. I started her in part because I needed a refresher in Zbrush. Now that I'm somewhat refreshed, I've decided I'm better off doing this block pass in Maya, instead. On...
2019-06-12 23:07:51 +0000 UTC View PostIt seems my Python switch has been flipped this morning! First it was a idea generator for times when I'm feeling art-blocked, now I have another in mind - a script that could award a commission to a random patron.
I'd done commission raffles before, until Patreon banned them. This script w...
2019-06-09 14:21:36 +0000 UTC View PostSo, sometimes I need help coming up with ideas to pinups. Between work and my various side-projects, I may spend so much time not drawing pinups that I don't even know where to start. But what if I had a digital idea bag to cobble together ideas from?
The way I've seen other artists d...

Toxic Candy pg 8 is now inked, but may take a couple more days to color. In the meantime, I've hopped on the Curious Cat bangwagon!

Getting close! Once I ink & color this one, I can take a break to work on other things! The question is, which things?
The backgrounds for this comic have been exhausting, so I'm tempted to work on my diner model some more, so that maybe I can use renders instead of coloring it in Illus...

...I'm tempted to do a follow-up where Violet suggests "Targaryen" would've been better than "show poodle", but 1.) Mercy might not get the reference, 2.) Vi shouldn't be watching Game of Thrones, and 3.) I have too many follow-ups planned as it is...

2019-05-16 22:03:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe next comic page - and the high-res versions of April's pages - may be a little late. I'm up to my eyeballs in a contract that is both soul-draining, and that should have been done by now if the client could stick to a schedule.
If you remember, last year I was rigging characters in Spin...

A few days ago I ordered some universal cases for my loose game cartridges. One nice thing about these cases, is there are plenty of covers to choose from for each game. But what if the cover you want doesn't exist?

Updated!
After fully coloring this page, I had it transition to black & white, so that I might avoid having to color most of the rest. Thinking on it more, only 3 of the next 5+ pages would've been black & white, so what would be the point?
Stylistically, I might still play wi...

FINALLY colored!
For the sake of getting this chapter completed quicker, I've been thinking about doing the rest of the comic in black & white. That'd be a harsh shift after having this page in full color, but I may have a found a compromise, which I'll try out on pages 2 & 3...

For my second attempt at Mo's hair, I'm going for a much more stylized look. So far it's a lot kore tedious than I expected, bedause each piece needs to be positioned, rotated, and scaled manually. I thought Zbrush had a quicker way, but so far I haven't found it.

So, the poll with my characters looks so one-sided in favor of Monique, it's almost not fair. But on the bright side, I'm still happy with Daisy's model, so her body can be re-used for Mo! Monique's model sheet is a few years old, though, so this morning I drew up a new one!
On a different ...
2019-03-16 16:04:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe other poll is still open, but I'm starting another anyway. Simple reason - the winner of this one will need a full model sheet drawn up, which if I'm trying to mimic another artist's style means it could take a while.
That's right - this poll is not for my characters, but other artists'...

You ever try to learn something several times, fail each time, only to find out you were approaching it the wrong way? That's me with Zbrush.
When I first tried Zbrush, I'd seen two ways of sculpting characters - creating a base mesh with Zspheres, or modeling the character in a program lik...

What's funny and sad about Zbrush, to me, is how long I've had it...
