So I have a number of longtime patrons who never got welcome sketches because I hadn’t started doing them yet when they joined, and I have been trying to make up for that. Joel had been one of the first, and now he’s finally getting one. He asked for Senshi, from Delicious in Dungeon. I was t...

Continuing a new tradition started with the Old Boy fan art, I am drawing a sexy character from a favorite manga/comic artist I am reading (rereading), then drawing one of my own characters in that style. I’m thinking of Jay, since he’s got a high and tight like a lot of Akira adult male char...

Here’s the cover for Velvet Collar #1, putting together a lot of the elements I worked up separately, and featuring the characters and spotlighting the one who brings them together. Bryan had a cover already to go before I even came onto the project which, without knocking the art at all, had l...

I think I knew this would wind up a sticker when I drew it.
Where did the rest of this post go? Lol. Alright, I will try again. If you got the edit notification, this is why.
Stickers are back from the printer. That placemat sucks as a backdrop… drabness.

I’m working on writing more at the moment, I have a script due for a piece I am doing in an anthology about food… have I mentioned that before? Each contributor is doing a piece about food and another topic. I was asked to do the one no one else had chosen, which is hiv/aids. It’s a good gi...

Hey here’s another Velvet Collar post… getting the cover together. The rentman ad and rabid cop wallpaper were created for use as elements of the cover, but were also used elsewhere, especially the ad. As far as the title goes, Bryan was all ready to go with a stencil-like type font, and didn...

Here’s the round up grid for April! A complete lack of yurei, for a change! Lots of color this time as well. All this and a kickstarter campaign, and polishing up the book to be ready for print.
Also, the January/February/March sticker set is finally at the printer. I apologize for the d...

Green Oni unintentionally shows the goods, for all to see. I had drawn this up with a Jacob’s Ladder piercing, and some ornate glans jewelry, but I felt that took the eye too much away from the nuts… which are important for this sequence.

The kickstarter is done! Time to celebrate a bit before chewing on what happens next with it, but I felt the desire to create a thank you sketch for everyone involved. Kawaii Feral is kawaii.
Thanks again, everyone!

We’ve been watching the Mad Max films, only half of which I had seen before. After seeing Thunderdome for the first time all the way through, I wanted to draw this character, since he has a couple of the features I enjoy drawing, i.e.: angular cheekbones and round shoulders. And though post-apo...

Hey it’s the final pages dump!
I’ve spent the past few weeks tweaking art, re-lettering pages, and making these non-story pages that needed to be done. This list of patrons on the “thank you” page—- take a moment to make sure your name is correct. I have tried to ...

I thought I would post this one since the last few were leading up to it: the last page. Probably had a “to be continued” box in the print version. There’s still more to post from this though: promotional work, the cover art, logo design, and extra pages. This was kickstarted for print, and...

Hey y’all! We met the first stretch goal, and have moved on to the next. I knew it would involve the art that I originally planned for the cover, and after looking at the cost of doing a split run of the printing, have decided to offer an alternate cover aw the stretch goal. I think it’s fun,...

This here is the intro to part 2 of Loose, which is a reworked panel from page 4 of part 1. This is also where I got the silhouette for the stretch goal sticker, which is also serving as a small vignette on the back cover.
We made the sticker stretch goal yesterday! Now it’s time to work...

Welp, here’s the sticker for the first Kickstarter stretch goal, which we’ll hit no problem. I took the silhouette from a panel from Loose in #1, which I am also going to use in a catch-up page for part 2 (of Loose). There’s still 3 weeks of the kickstarter campaign, and I wanted to finish ...

I’m swamped with Kickstarter stuff today so I am sticking this here to hold my page over until I get something finished to show.

This was the last thing to do before launching the kickstarter… some character sketches. It is one of the pledge rewards and I needed to have some to show!
(I had a bit here about number crunching under the kickstarter hood but removed it)

I had finally gotten the Kickstarter all put together and sent it off for approval, woke up to find it accepted! 😀
We discovered that Tuesdays are the best day of the week to launch, so Tuesday it is.
Please follow Tannis on Kickstarter and help spread the word!
