Happy holidays !

Monthly colored sketch commission for The_Mute_Cynic of *my* OC Miss Tira ! This feels really special to me, and I thought I could use this image to wish you all the best for the upcoming holidays and the New Year awaiting us !


Here is a little list of people I would especially like to ...

A night with Alcina Dimitrescu (SFW+NSFW Set)

A night with Alcina Dimitrescu (SFW+NSFW Set)

Welp, here is something I've been wanting to try for a while; sets ! (As in drawing the same character multiple times, to make the action more engaging.)

It almost happened to be a comic strip but I tend to give up on those too easily. And with the Holidays coming, I could...

Gura (Hololive X Jean-Paul Gaultier)

Alright well, I had that idea for Gura when I posted the Calliope one so I thought I could try to squeeze in another extra drawing this month. Next one will be Lady Dimitrescu, so brace yourselves !

(Not sure if I'll keep going with this series but it was already quite fun to make !)

Morrigan 2022

Alright here it is !
I didn't make the rendering too complex for this one, but keeping it "simple" helped me see how my fundamental understanding of rendering has really improved.
For comparison, take a look at this from 2017 :

Hello everyone ! I hope you are all doing good and that Life is not being too hard on you...

So, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in France, and I don't really know if all of you do, but I wanted to take a minute to express my gratitude to all of you. (And also let you ...

Mori  (Hololive X Jean-Paul Gaultier)

Alright so this may seem like an odd idea, but I've had it in the back of my head since I prepared last month's poll so, I had to give it a shot : Hololive members, but in outfits designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier (in case you don't know who that is, he's a famous french stylist). Here is the outfit...

Hello everyone and my deepest apologies for the rather "quiet" month this was.
Some of you might know this but my computer's PSU died at the beginning of the month, right after I set it back up, and having it diagnosed and then replaced took some time... And also, after managing to avoid it fo...

Important news !

Hello everyone, I hope you've been doing great since last time.

I'd like to start by apologizing for the lack of updates about my move, but I haven't been able to use my computer at all since my previous post, making it hard for me to communicate about all this. So, I have good news, and n...

I did the thing again !
I needed a little break from pinups and thought a little "study" could be useful. Painting without colors is both fun to do and good training for setting values, and since I also really like what came out of this session, I thought I could share it. View Post

So, new Pokemon game means new poke-waifus, everybody knows that. So here is me trying to follow trends. (This was initially just a quick sketch but I also felt like trying to render it properly.)

I had this silly idea for Miss Tira as I was meddling with her design and tried another hairstyle for her; I just thought that she would really rock a Lopunny cosplay.
And since it is still the month for Bunny Ladies, I had to draw it ! So yeah, her outfit is mostly  inspired by the Mega-...

Initially, I only wanted to do some little sketches to try some more "daring" and voluptuous anatomy, which was a lot of fun and since one sketch really seemed to work, I tried to finish it. Now the rendering is a mix of different things I've tried in the past so it might be a little inconsistent...
