DaC II: ROUND 3.2: *Eyes*

Well we actually ended up with the same initial brow/eye selection as last time, but we got glasses now.

Upon typing out this post I discovered that this is more options than Patreon polls allow, s...

Design-a-Character II: ROUND 3: Face +R2 Result

Well, no need for another phase, because that was surprisingly definitive. Sorry for not providing other choices or variations here, this is, once again, a very unique hairstyle and any variat...

Design-a-Character II: ROUND 2.2: Hair

Chest length hair with messy bangs and dark/black. Shoulder length and central parting were in the running too.

If you have long hair you're gonna have to maintain your bang lengths, but with "mess...

Design-a-Character II: R1 Result + ROUND 2: Hair

A short but average soft build with average round boobs and light skin. That was easy. I could have just stuck another paper bag on her head, but honestly I want different crap to cover them - I have an ...

Design-a-Character II: ROUND 1: Body

Here we go again. 

If you weren't involved in the previous DaC: Each round I will feed you prompts to vote on. The winning prompts from each category will be combined and drawn - if the results aren't unanimous or if there is opportunity for variation then I will have you vote on those...

Kaede Stretch Towel

Just to get you back in the OC flavour.

This week may seem like I'm stalling, and you'd be right. I'm trying to buy time since working with a new OC is actually kinda tricky, and I've been balancing with something else. I want to give you guys something every week, even if it's just a wip o...

Nagatoro Vol 13 Alt Colour Cover

Here we go. Attempts at colour matching the official cover, but that's not entirely possible so it has a little bit of me in it too. Pleased woth the eye treatment since that was weirdly complicated. But yeah, this should be the closest to a Nanashi 774 Nagatoro as you'll see anywhere.

I'm ...

Nagatoro Vol 13 Alt Interior Monochrome

I apologise for drip feeding these as a weekly thing instead of all at once, but it's necessary. 

When it comes to tanlined characters, and me using halftones for monochrome versions, I pretty much have to make a colour/blocked version to base it off of. Sometimes that version is still...

Nagatoro Vol 13 Alt Interior Sketch

I'm not done with Kaede or DaC2, it's very possible I'm going to erratically alternate between all of these in the coming weeks to bulk up the bigger ideas the Kaede's could lead into. A second created character won't be necessary at this point but it'll be good to do sooner than later; I'd ideal...

Kaede Stretch Sports

I actually had this one sketched long before the shower one, but I only just finished it this week. Because of this, you might see me milking the weekly art posts while I try to backfill the buffer, especially since I'm getting some interesting longer term ideas for her. I wish we had some OC fri...

No peepin' on Kaede

I have a few ideas for goofy things to do with Kaede, this is one of them. I have another ready and loose ideas, but I got distracted and have done work on another character piece. So whether next week is another Kaede or if I'll briefly alternate is up in the air. Just trying to rebuild the buff...

Kaede (colour test and b/w)

There was a slight hiccup resulting in me needing another week to produce the next piece, but bear with me, it's a good hiccup due to me having two drafts and a secret third off-topic one.

These colours are very experimental and who knows how they look on anyone else's screens. With colour,...

DaC Names

You've seen her. You got a feel for personality. You can tell she's a kind of tomboyish physically active type.

We're not worrying about surnames, we're not worrying about creating a coherent universe or locale for her to live in. 

Ideally we'd pick a name right here, but I imagi...

First DaC Character Reveal

I could have made this the character name poll too, but I wanted her to give her her own showcase, and give you guys another chance to reply with any other potential names, now that you have the girl in front of you. I'll do this poll in a few days. Remember: English, Japanese, Patreon/Patron pun...

DaC Emergency poll

When you look, cover the other with your hand.

Also by all means keep suggesting names.

DaC Extra + Preview

Work is underway. I'm gonna try to put together more than one illustration and get a feel for her. I'm working out outfits and personality myself, dervied from the decisions you've all made (skinny/toned...

Design-a-Character: ROUND 3: Face PHASE 3

Based on the most popular 3 (but primarily 1st place) from Phase 2, we now have this selection.  The letters refer to the particular eye shape and lashes; the numbers refer to the style of iris. Ple...

Design-a-Character: ROUND 3: Face PHASE 2

Long+thick/mixed/medium came out in front, so we're riffing on those.

There's quite a lot here, and arguably you're picking between very few differences, but this will be the starting point of the ...

Design-a-Character: ROUND 3: Face (+Round 2 Result)

I think this hair will alter slightly as I draw her more and have to deal with her practically, without diverging too much.

Anyway, no need to wait any longer.

This has far too many options f...

Design-a-Character: ROUND 2: Hair PHASE 4

There was a winner and a close second, so this is roughly what it's going to be. This will likely be the final phase for the hair. 

A has qualities of a sidecut or fade,
B is a floofy mess....

Nagatoro ch 28 redraw ex 2.0

I wanted to post this one publicly, and in the process I addressed a fix with the tanline spot on Nagatoro's back since Nanashi has stopped doing it. So with that in mind, I wanted to provide updated and high-res uncensored versions to keep parity. 

Design-a-Character: ROUND 2: Hair PHASE 3

It's neither a Monday or a Friday but I think we're ready to move on.

The previous poll had a top 1st and a close 2nd and 3rd, so I'm roughly riffing on those designs and going slightly crazy and s...

Design-a-Character: ROUND 2: Hair PHASE 2

Short messy light hair made the cut. That mandate has a lot of potential designs, so rather than draw everything imaginable and unimaginable, I've got a little selection; the winning selection will get ...

Design-a-Character ROUND 2: Hair (+Round 1 Result)

The above is the result of Round 1. Lots of contention over muscle, but this is our baby. There are freckles under that bag too. Now we're gonna work out what's under it.

The hair round is going to...

DaC Round 1.99 Twice Upon These Tummies

The contention towards the mucletone has been intense to watch, and I feel I have to provide a final context with both looks to help break the stalemate. Once this is definitive, we'll move onto Round 2: Hair.

While I'm demonstrating this clearly with abs, this will have consequences regard...

Emergency D-a-C Round 1.9

I'm making a start on drawing and am making a few realisations that need extra input:

Muscletone level has been hotly contested but "more" has been leading so I'll be progressing with that unless something crazy happens. Jogging twopiece tanlines has been winning; muscle due to jogging is f...

Design-a-Character: ROUND 1: Body PHASE 2

No real need to wait any longer. I think these updates will vary between 7-14 days depending on the closeness of the polls and how long it takes for me to produce something in response.

Anyway, you...

Design-a-Character: ROUND 1: Body

After talking about this idea for a while, let's give this a try. My buffer is gone and I'm slightly blocked, so something reactive like this is perfect for right now. This is also an extremely scary experiment, so bear with me however this goes.

Please read: 

Each round I will f...

*Update* + Wakfu fake screencap ii

I gotta level with you, my attempt at adding an original Evangelyne fucked up entirely, but I desperately wanted to play with her colour scheme so we've ended up with this extremely bootleg asset swap attempt. Sorry. To partly make up for it, I added the high-res Amalia and the sketch layer which...

Wakfu - Amalia fake "screencap"

Last year on Twitter, as I've also sometimes done in years passed, I inked and coloured some of the leaked uncensored Wakfu key art. Around that time I made up a basic sketch based on what I learned, and sat on it for a year. This is the very late revival and completion of that idea. Lots of tric...
