Behold, a pair of Clip Studio Paint sketch sets based on some of the art requests suggested by the fine folks of the $5 tier! (Time for the $3 art request post, looks like.) I'd hoped to add a few scans of older con sketches based on the Devil Kei/ Angel Yuri and Harley Quinn requests, but guess ...

Yet again, I'm doubling up with this week's set of life drawings from random photoref. (Someday I'll have to downgrade to a single piece per post, but my buffer of these pieces remains reasonably large.) First above is a set from September 2018, while the second set is an example from Janua...

Got no time today for a detailed post, so above are a few (relatively) rough sketch sets drawn for a commissioner who was cool with such loose artwork, along with the later Empowered pages that reused poses from those sets.
